We have the same problem in the UK. Local councils went all in on the Palestine thing when their job is basically collecting trash, roadworks, planning and education. I can’t realistically vote a candidate in who doesn’t talk about trash co

The real question is should you have trusted his manifesto after the last time?

It’s not really. The peekaboo world, elegantly described, gives you enough information or misinformation to make an uninformed decision. You vote for who you were told to vote for.

Yes. To be clear they think they are running the world because all the ass kissers around them told them they are. Reality is a lot less forgiving of their delusions.

It’s basically just a large circular hand job of people who have been told they are visionaries by sycophants.

It’s not just 2022 and earlier books. There’s a supply chain problem as well. I’ve seen two older books so far from Amazon which were AI generated copy text with a genuine looking cover on it. Amazon just took the return and probably restoc

By sheer irony, it would also suggest that the original poster had limited language comprehension skills and wasn't capable of evaluating an eight year old.

Yeah it won’t mean rewrites. It’ll just die as a starting point.
189.
by cryo32 4mo ago
That’ll be a minor part of it. The whole Electron “ship a browser for each app” ideology will die first.

Yeah good luck with that attitude over time. Most people don’t hang around in an org long enough to see that assumption scale to renting hardware than costs $900k a node a year.

This is the product you get when you are surrounded by yes men.

Nope. Language is more complicated than you think it is.
193.
by cryo32 4mo ago
Yes. You could not do it. Doing stuff isn’t essential. Especially when you have no idea what you are doing.

So they can conduct a nuanced debate then? Mine couldn’t until they were much older. And I have more so perhaps that’s more statistically valid?

It’s not really though is it? It’s a fully centrally controlled technology that reduces your ability and makes you dependent on it to perform all daily and business functions with a huge environmental and economic impact. The economic impac

Not quite. The LLM gives you a statistically probable sounding token stream. The calculator gives you a qualified answer within documented and deterministic limits of the device. No one knows how to use either.

At eight they have limited comprehension of the world around them and limited language skills. They need a lot longer to develop those in tandem. And also you may be above average there.

I did mathematics, and a fair bit of computer science on the side. This was nearly all on paper, without computers. And I'd go a week or two without a calculator sometimes, mostly employing it when I had a bad hangover. Do we really n

I'm glad this is the case. It is the correct outcome. I've heard students actually discussing that they will just use an LLM to shortcut work. I even have friends in their 50s who can barely think for themselves now without having

You probably just built a shanty town according to a professional.

by cryo32 4mo ago
You're not learning them. You're being told about them and given a hammer to leverage them with mediocre to low skill level. Learning requires a huge time investment. Using an LLM doesn't shorten that.

by cryo32 4mo ago
Well not really because we have a few CTAN contributors.

by cryo32 4mo ago
If it's any consolation we use native stuff including pmatrix :). In fact most of our typesetting is very very plain LaTeX.

by cryo32 4mo ago
I prefer to think of it as mature.
205.
by cryo32 4mo ago
Not so sure. I work with a lot of people in academia who work with LaTeX. I haven't met anyone who knows Typst even exists. And the source material is usually just thrown in Word or LibreOffice. The problem is also momentum. Do you rew

Exactly that. Haven’t heard it said like that before. Same with my company.

NT, SQL, AD is good. It's the schizophrenic management in the last 20 years that has messed it up.

by cryo32 4mo ago
It varies. They have cranked the prices up in the last couple of years.
209.
by cryo32 4mo ago
It's £3.85. Not that much more.

What people don't realise is the startups here in the UK run on miserable sandwiches, tasteless crisps and energy drinks. Middle management lives on slightly more expensive platters from Pret.
