I looked up data from a calorie tracking app I used a while ago and I got just enough vitamin D. Main sources were fish, eggs and dairy products. However, I ate a lot and I'm quite sure in winter there will have been periods where I didn't get the recommend intake.

So if you live in a northern country and you don't like fish, I suppose it's quite a good idea to take a supplement.

Though as OP said, even if the sun isn't strong enough, there are plenty of benefits to going outside beside vitamin D.

Mentioned directly under the table:

> Note GPT 5.5 Pro is at the top of the leaderboard only because it blew through $100 budget after only completing four cases, so 2/4 is 50%. And, a couple of other results, both Qwen models, are skewed upward in the detect % ranking because of failure to complete all cases.

> This article is meant to be a short, well sourced summary about why we will not have quantum computing any time soon, with evidence that shows we have not made any meaningful progress for decades, at least nowhere near the level the PR lies from the tech industry would have led you to believe.

Definitely thought-provoking. A few responses here on HN disagree with calling this a bug, so maybe the user owns the error. This is all related to what kind of contract we have in mind when creating and using such a program.

If `puts` were to be used for debug messages, it might be right not to fail so as to not disturb the rest of the program. If the primary purpose is to greet the world, then we might expect it to signal the failure. But each creator or user might have their own expected behaviors.

If a user expects different behavior, then perhaps it is a feature request:

> There's no difference between a bug and a feature request from the user's perspective. (https://blog.codinghorror.com/thats-not-a-bug-its-a-feature-...)

The question is how the behavior can be made more explicit. I think it's a reasonable default to make programs fail often and early. If some failure can be safely ignored, it can always be implemented as an (explicit) feature.
