Neither Blender nor Ubuntu are SaaS. You're just confirming my point: if you want to run old versions of software, you need to host it yourself.

Can you think of many examples of a SaaS provider who regularly keeps old versions of a product around for customers to use? A far more common scenario is that new versions are rolled out to everyone, without offering a choice, as soon as t

I would have to consciously think about how to change my requests. Why bother? It doesn't hurt - it might even help - and the "extra tokens" are a negligible amount.

This is like a new philosophy student objecting to someone saying, “This begs the question of whether…” It’s essentially a category error, an incorrect application of context. You - and Eric Raymond, who believes he’s an incarnation of the

It depends how long one plans to be done with doing. People attend retreats, for example.

Affirming the consequent fallacy. "Ultrasound machines vibrate everything around them therefore make sound" does not imply "I vibrate everything around me therefore make ultrasound."

Another tactic is to use LLMs to help you learn. That's another way to approach "It has never been easier to get better than others." Avoiding tool use because you're afraid you won't be able to use the tool respons

I would put it differently. Those inventions came from humans interacting with the physical world. When LLMs were first introduced, they didn't have much of a feedback loop. They wrote code, but they couldn't compile it. Not surpr

I wasn't saying you were a bot. I was pointing out two things: first, your understanding of LLM capabilities is very outdated; and second, that in this respect, you're behaving much like an LLM with a training cutoff. That further

It's the opposite of a thought-terminating cliche. It refers to an entire world and body of work, which include solutions. You could start by reading Marx, who laid a lot of the groundwork. > Shaking your fists at "the elites&q

Why not both? Wages are too low and rents are too high. The common factor: the capital class screwing over the working class.

This reminds me of the Go champion who announced he was giving up the game after a computer beat him. It’s as if a runner were to give up running when beaten by a horse or a car. It suggests they may have had unexamined and perhaps somewhat

The logic for bicarb use here was basically the same as for injecting bleach to cure an infection: it works in a test tube. There was no clinical evidence for it. In fact the evidence against its use goes back to at least 1976: https:&#x2F
