Agree. Another thing I notice in this thread is that the implied context is a professional environment where you are expected to showcase your expertise to other teammates, colleagues, etc. As if solitary people, masters of their craft, cou

I'm not into anime, but I would like to see some recent series. But! I want an anime with adult MC, no power levels, no schools, not about magic, no mechas, no overtly sexual (inuendos, jokes). No exaggerated facial gestures. Something

> Twitter is a conservative cesspool Interesting. I see it as the de-facto journalist platform, which to me (as a non american) make it very left leaning. But then again, I don't use X.

When I'm inside the house (any house, but including my own), I often point to a direction when talking about a nearby place. People laugh and correct me because the place I'm talking about is to the north, not to the south as I po

LLMs are just going to ouput "7". Then an infinite cycle of "Are you sure?"... "I apologize por the error, it's 5" etc.

I think it is better to approach chess as a game (not as a mental exercise). If you enjoy it, play it. Otherwise, don't.

Shorter emails? I'm serious. I try to write a draft, then edit it until the core message is left. Then, "check this docs/let's have a virtual meet" for more context.

It depends. If (big if) previously both were far from their family, now one of them is not. Net positive. We live very close to my in-laws, and there are lots of benefits from that, even if my parent and brothers live far away. But some mon
