I find it best to use it with it framed as an untrustworthy black box, even with the increasingly correct answers. Its a rubber duck that can spitball with you.

Yep. But how does it compare to GPT-4 or Bing Chat? Then wonder how well GPT-5 will perform, and 6. Also, did rubber-ducking your query have a benefit regardless of the correctness of chat's answer?

Not right away, which is why I prefer bing over chatGPT (less tendency to get things subtly wrong and gaslight me). However I see no significant distinction between a hallucinating LLM and a person who made a mistake. It's something th

It is a studied phenomena what conditions are required for optimal growth and learning. Therefore it should be easy to synthesize a ciriculum for new developers with challenges pitched at the right level for them to reach their highest pote

I dont know about all that. But as someone who had just started with stack overflow (begun actually posting/participating)… it died for me the moment I discovered the GPT playground and eventually chatGPT. These days I use Bing Chat as

I feel the number he generates via any procedure would be on the list since all of them are on the list. What am I missing about the plausibility of a procedire that must be possible which must generate a real number not in the series?

No its not an odd or even number; its infinity.

I had something similar and I visited a therapist who helped me see that I had created a narrative about certain locations, that they were making me anxious. I had to challenge this mildly delusional thinking while managing the anxiety usin

My very unscientific take is the noises are the result of a mundane mechanical process that is a consequence of the plant not having enough water or loss of water due to cutting, which leads to some cavitation bubbles forming. So it may onl

My partner I found it gripping and unsettling from start to finish, and yet hilarious and heart warming and life affirming. It's a weird genre we decided; tragi-comedy. In some ways all the funniest bits were in the trailer, but the tr

My dream computers tend to be handheld personal organizers with secret backdoors to the internet or hidden hacking features. They usually have strange monochrome displays. I love these dreams and wake up with with an intense sense of loss.

It may not be a conscious choice but an unconscious belief about themselves, such as that they are not productive enough, or that their feelings are not valid.

Along similar lines, taking cautious mental health steps like learning about bounderies and emotional coping/regulation would help people to look after themselves physically (e.g. not drinking or eating their feelings). Being your own

Due to life's twists I have had to learn about abuse. In my reading to try to make sense of things I read about descretion, and how it can be abused. Its so obvious in retrospect, but interesting to contemplate.

I was wondering about that. Maybe they know something we don't using inurl. To catch subdomaims maybe?

It's almost the Noguchi filing system, in a way. Since you typically need to access things closer to the top/front which will be the most recent.

I personally like the idea of fully legalized drugs, but I don't necessarily think they should be allowed to be imported and sold, at least not directly. There's a "middle way" that frames drug use in term of health, but

Nah, this policy rocks. No one who is already addicted to smoking will suffer as they ratchet the age so that existing smokers can continue to smoke. If you really want to try/start you can bloody well learn to cultivate it yourself an

Quite a similar experience to me. After a change of meds I had a bought of intense disphoria and anxiety which I (perhaps falsely) attributed to the meds after 9 years of use and misuse (insufflation etc). I stopped cold turkey until my spe

I'm just not having any of the problems people are experiencing and I'm on the latest Win 11 (22H2). It hasn't changed my file associations or popped up, or stolen focus, or advertised anything to me and it gives me valuable

I came to this conclusion (somewhat) independently: Crypto (the algorithm) is good, crypto-as-decentralized-currency is (currently) bad.

Yeah, this would be so cool. Even just as simple as a period of relaxation/curl followed by a period of upright/stretch or something. Love the plugin btw, it's very easy to use, though I can already feel my muscles going in t

Heh, I like this. But I also keep reading that simply holding "good" posture is not helpful, and that changing position (including to slouch, recline, rest on a elbow etc) protects against muscle spasm from holding the same positi
