Could the gradual impacts of economic downturn, unemployment and unhappiness post-pandemic be a contributing factor? From available data on drug overdoses and homelessness things appear relatively stable but some data from last year is miss

Yeah, this seems obvious to me. However, out of ethical concerns, it is not obvious that the solution is to stop educating people. Perhaps just reminding would-be parents that if the educated and resilient stop reproducing, they are deprivi

Nothing is lost in git without great effort. Deleting a branch is simply removing the label from the history. Just take note of the hash of the latest commit on the "deleted" branch. It'll still be there and can be checked ou

Who wouldn't agree that difficult work should be payed more? Work that requires the acquisition of skills should be payed a bit more too, no? There should be a system in place which determines the appropriate compensation, not arbitrar

If you got a good score, was it due to drug or tolkien knowledge? Or evenly both?

Trying the app out. Initial thoughts: - It's not on the appstore (yet?), so I am going down a risky path requiring trust in a website. - Hmm it's nagging me about backups and needing access to my storage... oh and it wants a passw

There's something really tenuous-seeming about such a software driven safety mechanism, comparing to things like laser safety sensors on commercial cutters which are a much simpler mechanism. I'm curious how safety expectations ar

This had been my experience as well. You can replace the low-code solution with a junior coder in a non-coding role. Creating a shadow-IT solution will be a fraction of the cost and time. The risks are the lack of governance and amateurishn

This is a GPT-4 generated post huh? Hallucinating to the days.

I've been doing this too, but saying to myself "you are off the hook altogether" with the reasoning that the harm from not attempting something is just so much worse than any typical consequence from saying or doing something

I can relate to this. I have totally lost track of what I was about to do during the process of opening an application countless times. I shudder to think of the many lost ideas and sparks of genius.

Haha 1-2 hours ... Maybe things have improved since 2018 but I was up to about 25 hours and still not satisfied with the results. That might be just being a perfectionist or coming from another IDE and trying to replicate something. But 1-2

You are absolutely right.

Right, so it may not be so much about the supposed superiority of an alternate layout but about learning the layout well, which is hard to do once you have a decade or more of bad habits. That's a new take for me, having switched to co

You use your index finger to type C on a Qwerty row-stagger board. Its actually an advantage of row-stagger that the most dextrous fingers have access to multiple keys less than a key unit away. In saying that I just learned colmak-dh on a

Please yes. This is the killer feature. To solve your issue all you need is an otional modal to confirm joining. The idea is that you are joining a room not having a phone call. This enables things like joining by yourself while other parti

This is highly annoying/intentional timing as Minecraft 1.20 just got released but now it is tainted with fears of viruses and extra steps to mitigate. For a friend who streams minecraft content and relies on the income this is a big s

This made me chuckle. Too true. I would only argue that thinking/journalling deeply about fewer ideas is an equally good use of your time as tasting a greater breadth of ideas more shallowly.

I intuit the same given the jumps we've seen from gpt 3.5 fo 4. The next jump will feature considerably more general intelegence than any one human being, though I think it will have certain weaknesses.

Its not designed to reason but it does reason. Thats whats so impressive about it; emmergent properties like factuality and reasoning.

I didn't consider that but its already begun with plugins and auto GPT. LLMs can test their hypothesis. Next, that might be possible via robotics... so scifi.

unfortunately the way web search is implemented in bing chat kind of hamstrings it from that point forward. You miss out the LLM extrapolating from a million other scenarios accross the subject domain in order to come up with possible expla

Defending myself, the lazy programmer: realtime feedback is a proven condition which improves learning. I'm not sure why I would use SO if LLMs continue to improve as I can even debate with it and it encourages me to define my problem

Is it specifically human-human contact thats required to generate new insights or document things? I see no major distinction between that and human-LLM contact (aside from awe) or simply an intelligence pusuing a goal by itself for that ma

I'd like to know this too. Its concievable that most new web content would be output from an LLM so it would just be feeding on itself. That precise outcome will never quite happen as people will transform and validate this output. How

Yes, quite a convenient lie if you ask me. Why try to address abuse and mistreatment when you can label it character-building!?

I wonder if the very nature of LLM emergent correctness and intelligence itself will identify weakness, fallacies and illusion? I would expect a well-read person to be similarly immune.
