They released air tools but you’d rather use a hammer to drive nails. It reflects more on /you/ than on the technology.

LLM have only been useful for ~12 months (arguably <6 months). Too early to throw the baby out with the bathwater...

Your argument sound remarkably familiar. Humor me: "For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory.“ -Socrates, on writing. From Phaedrus Secondary

Remember that this is an abbreviated version of real events. It appears the differences were irreconcilable, which is OK, ending this relationship creates room for new opportunities.

No is a perfectly reasonable starting point for a negotiation.

I’ll simplify a lot here but here’s my understanding of wealth. Wealth has lots of flavors but usually we mean material wealth. Material wealth is the items and properties that people covet. And people figured out they can store wealth wit

Wealth != power But you hit on an important point that wealth cannot accumulate unless consumption is disciplined. Sometimes discipline is self-imposed (e.g. calvinists), other times by the organizing authority (e.g. state, church). In th

Are there any “gotchas” of leasing vs owning the device? Do your rights to the data change? Does your responsibility to maintain the fit and function of the device change? How does lease vs buy benefit the consumer?

I just switched to iPhone and I have to say the UI is so bad. It will be my last.

I agree. Doesn't matter what you sell, you will get a higher price if it is cleaned and tidy when presented to the market - because the kinds of people who pay higher prices are looking for clean and tidy things.

> Of course you should trust a human if that is their job I’m telling you, in industries dealing with high energy, they DO NOT trust people just because it’s their job. THEY CHECK. Just like people should CHECK the LLM. I think we agr

Asking an llm to make a code interpretation is like asking a tape measure to drive a nail. An LLM will be very good at finding relevant code, maybe even explaining its intent or history. It will not be very good at weighing competing prio

In safety critical jobs nobody is trusted, everything is verified. And there is someone checking the checker.

You’re already paying for the subagent, why should you pay twice? (Once for subagent, and again for waiting for the subagent). That’s double billing.

Bottom line up front: LLM unlocks the power of a workstation for normal people. Google Search ate the internet because everyone was using it. Some people said "free search isn't a business model, look what happened to yahoo&quot

Sometimes you get lucky and the smd components have larger packages you can hand solder, but the price for assembly in a Chinese pcb shop is so cheap I don’t think I want to hand solder

Your comment about watts stuck out to me. I became curious how much power we might be talking about. I’m into Claude for $20/mo (petty bourgeois tier), let’s assume for sake of examination this is only paying for power, infrastructure
