If it had full physical controls in the interior, this would be my dream vehicle. I'd reserve one today. The second I saw that touchscreen garbage dashboard I closed the window. I'll never buy a vehicle with that nonsense.

I don't know about trends among young developers, but I can tell you that the majority of the fintech world that isn't Microsoft centered (or ancient COBOL hieroglyphics) runs on PHP these days. I ended up finding myself in financ

Ars occasionally does have articles at that level! But it's just a couple regular contributors on their specific subjects of expertise. I'd really like to see a whole magazine (or website) dedicated to it, one day.

I think your comment/complaint is indicative of something I've mused about for a while in regards to science articles - I wish there were a level of common scientific publication somewhere between "novice" and "expe

The tool in question is also a fairly unethical scraping and botting tool, advertising defrauding services to bypass captchas and scrape websites against the owners' wishes.

I'm not really sure how to rephrase it, so I can try an example. Lets say that the author has a machine that is a self contained assembly line, it produces cans of soup. However, the machine has a problem - every few cans of soup, one

You know, that's a good point too. The studies I've read all focused on cognition after using an LLM to complete tasks for work or hobbies. I do wonder if there might be a different outcome with learning specifically.

If you scroll past the marketing blurb, I think the rest of the main page explains in pretty clear and simple terms what their product is. What did you find confusing about it?

It sounds important to me. Humans are where context comes from. Humans do not generally provide 100% relevant context but are generally pretty good at identifying irrelevant context that they've been given. It seems to me that solving

Do you genuinely have any non-anecdotal reason to believe that AI will improve education, or is it just hope? I ask because every serious study on using modern generative AI tools tends to conclude fairly immediate and measurable deleteriou

Your replies are disingenuous and intellectually dishonest. You know that what you're claiming is being targeted is not the only thing being targeted. You know what the word degenerate means, who uses it and why.

I'm not really sure what you're saying an LLM did in this case. Inspired a lost sense of curiosity?

The work that you are "saving" is the work of using your brain to determine the solution to the problem. Whatever the LLM gives you doesn't have a context it is used in other than your prompt - you don't even know what i

I am aware, and that's exactly why I don't think they're anywhere near as useful for this type of work as the people pushing them want them to be. I tried to push for this type of model when an org I worked with over a decade

The subjects in the study you are referencing also believed that they were more productive with it. What metrics do you have to convince yourself you aren't under the same illusionary bias they were?

Again, where it comes from is an important part of this. You are cherry picking the most extreme example you can think of while using a word specifically implying genetic inferiority. You are using that term when talking about an issue that

This seems cherry picked and oddly fetishistic. I have also worked with Japanese developers and found them resistant to new ideas because seniority often trumps knowledge in Japanese work culture. But I did not assume that meant that all Ja
