Because I was flagged, with no reason or excuse, to those who actually manually viewed the now invisible comment and wonder the reference, please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania Considering the grim

If I am understanding correctly, you are also putting into perspective the dizzying contrast of human vs LLM, where the mere context window far exceeds an average lifetime of writing, which if so, yeah, ... interesting times. Before they

In case you don't receive an answer, an alternative to whatever they might have said or not have said, is stupidly simple: Just force yourself to write. Sit down. Lay down, stand on your head. Just do what ever you need to do to force

Back in the good old days, when either the world was cleaner and trusty, or I was simply naive and enjoying my organic loong ching (dragonwell), I remember those as the clearest of my years. I'd make a medium thermos in the morning and

I just pinged the api to dump my 10 year comment history. Yes, that definitely can be done, in a few seconds and a script. Edit: the csv = 698kb and the json = 866kb Edit 2: api was the wrong term. I used algolia.

Maybe their AI will figure that out and give them the hint. Good question though.

I support this comment, at the expense of wanton karma forfeiture. I think the fart snorting assertion can be proven. There is evidence.

It's so strange how utterly dependent on the seas we are yet how little they are considered. Trends change, predictably, unpredictably and sometimes in astonishing ways. For the last ten years, I've observed a variant of nihilism

I've been studying this for a year now and have gigabytes of data to, unfortunately, make an unassailable case in support of your concerns. I had begun a book on the subject, and shortly into it I became ill again. And of all the comme

Just in case you thought I had anything to do with your comment being d-voted, I didn't. I almost never d-vote anything, and my comment-voting 'privileges' have been suspended due to excess u-voting. That said, I was not disp

I would normally be inclined to jump in and top your recommendation with other, spore forming probiotics, eg Subtilis, Coagulans, etc. My old friend in Aussieland has been struggling with a multitude of ailments, gastrointestinal among them

To those suffering similar issues: don't give up. There are many off label options to pursue. Immuno-modulation is, from my observations, understudied. I won't list anything here though. Also, we're continuously finding new r

For me, a great example of where software engineering meets head to head with classical engineering is, eg SolidWorks, etc. Seeing a program mimic the physics of real moving parts, responding to many variables, etc, is to me, engineering pl

Thanks for that, and you directly hit the point that most fear to express. Also, you mention India, which strategically, is probably the one critical nation that without, American stands little chance of keeping pace with China. The tariff

Thankfully; else we'd have big heavy things with real claws and kinetic force grabbing at us endlessly, snatching our wallets with too much precision. We'd need Arnold not AdBlock, just to leave the house. I'd say software en

Note for others as dense as me; I clicked the url, saw what seemed a paywall, closed it, went back and the full article appeared. So, maybe try twice or refresh the page if it doesn't display immediately. PS: thanks for the link.

I guess I can relax and stop worrying that we're falling behind a bit. But I do wonder what the numbers really are, and just how many engineers we produce compared to China, of course, without qualifying everyone that learned Visual Ba

At some point in the last few weeks, an XFCE4 update changed how desktop icon coords are stored and restored. I spent considerable time debugging this without identifying the cause. System: Void, runit, XFCE 4.20.2, HD 3840×2160 HDMI-1 Symp

All I know is that they produce a lot of engineers, while the US produces a lot gender studies majors. I rarely say it, but I do not foresee much that they won't be leaving us sharply behind on soon, other than poverty and homelessness

I just fed your comment to Claude 5.0 using it as an example and support for my complaints against its constant hedging, manipulation and concern trolling, and after just two turns it framed me being suicidal and offered me a suicide ho

It could get interesting if they make them resemble friendly dogs - an archetypal image inspiring a primordial impulse for spontaneous target practice. Irresistible decoys.

If you are somewhat humble (that is critical) and willing to at least consider anecdote, speculation and desperate corridors, perhaps arrange a way for contact that does not open any vector here. I wouldn't dare tell you that I have an

When I predicted this several months ago, here (mine my comment history) I was berated and downvoted, but primarily ignored. I have records, timestamped, of predicting this a year ago. Alright, great for me, pat myself on the back and get s

That was a pretty damn good ad. It manages to say a few things difficult to verbalize, and foists the absurdity of it right in the face. Nearly cathartic to watch, at least for a GPT h8r - (who, me?). The em dash after "perfect" n

Definitely Grok. I have to be extra sharp to get through Claude's corporate conscience. Grok has yet to recommend a suicide hotline for scrutinizing its logic. If it was GPT, I would quickly write my will.

I don't really belong here, as my studies of AI are all consumer side, though very unconventional. I think you raise a good point that leads to other considerations though. I have the last year concerned about the divide between public

Yes. Words don't mean much these days. Taking corporate doublespeak at face value seems very couragious to me.
