Like most of us writers from the STEM field, you have what I call the "reverse priority writing habit." We tend to put the "important stuff" at the end of our writing. A good way to get more readers and to have more im

I didn't read anything I would want on my Mac. It seems to me that widgets would create confusion by taking actions I did not explicitly order. I don't want "clever" software mucking around in my thought processes. So

Self-interest is a set of situations that favor you. Selfishness is actualizing some of those situations without regard to who gets hurt. (I think). I think that what you are asking is something like: "How do you draw the line between

I had to transcribe and improve a program to calculate the correlation coefficient. The source was a very poor photocopy and the code had many i s' and 1's which were nearly impossible to distinguish.

I find Google to be bloated, filled with manipulative distractions, and worst of all it often answers me with search results according to what it thinks I want (based on previous searches) rather than directly responding to my straight forw

I find it helpful to compare AI model responses with my understanding of how my subconscious responds to my own queries. The initial responses from my sub-conscious often fail to consider relevant facts, fail to honor my ethical and moral s

The article developed so slowly that I quit reading it. I just read an aphorism that went something like this: The Raspberry Jam Principle-The more you spread it the thinner it gets.

I'm struck that many of the comments here are reactions founded in lack of hope and shallow cynicism. Something has killed enthusiasm and ambition for a better future in many of us. We did it to ourselves. It is our own responsibility

This is about how to write effectively. I'm seriously impressed. The author takes us well beyond write a draft and edit it. Having read this I'm sure that I will give it a substantial test on my next writing projects.

If you mean mainframe computers not personal computers, back in the 50s and 60s computers were thought of as obscure and unrelated to the real world. Nothing was expected from them. I think that even today most folks don't expect much

This issue goes away if one accept that LLM projects produce opinions not facts. IMHO LLM responses resemble our own initial opinions about an issue. Our initial opinions are often flawed and require review. I wouldn't be surprised

I'll add just this. Every time I have encountered health care software, I have been appalled at the poorly planned user interface. I do mean appalled. I would never tolerate this in software I normally use. With all the money (powe
