Yes, so the point is that teaching it at all is a choice of style not substance. Not sure I 100% believe that, but buy-in (and LLM help) are significant parts of a successful onboarding.

That document is the dismissal of claims by an economist about Facebook’s privacy practices. I don’t see how it supports your argument.

Unnecessarily toxic. How about you give your interpretation instead of making us infer it.

That's not going to be the scenario (IMO). After the AI slop comes in, everything in the queue is going to be triaged as garbage to clear it.

Not to be too pedantic, but this is not a term life insurance policy. It's a guaranteed benefit, so you should compare it to a "whole" life insurance policy (US terms). I see $500k benefit for $500+/mo, so I guess $100k

The problem is: now they also need to learn to code with an LLM assistant. That goes beyond "coding it by yourself". Well, it's different, anyway. Another skill to teach.

The idea that Google’s lack of knowledge of you a decade ago is somehow related to what they know today is naive. Dangerously naive, I would say. Ad targeting technology (= knowledge about you) is shocking good now.

Sure, but are you implying that is because of our stricter enforcement of the laws? Or other systemic / environmental causes (eg systemic poor mental health)? I am unfamiliar with the reasons to which the varying murder rate is ascribe

On one hand, I totally agree - soliciting and giving feedback is a weakness. On the other hand, it sounds like this workplace has weak leadership - have you considered leaving for some place better? If the manager can’t do their job enough

I think it's cheating to say PLA is stronger and then talk about PLA with carbon fiber added.

This seems like finding spelling errors and using them to cast the entire paper into doubt. I am unconvinced that the particular error mentioned above is a hallucination, and even less convinced that it is a sign of some kind of rampant use

There is no way your grocery store has lettuce from two different vendors and isn’t labeling the difference. You could wonder if the distributor is commingling. Milk production, probably. They’re taking responsibility for the quality of t

That’s essentially their conclusion, right? Amazon could manage QC; other large stores do. (Admittedly not as large as Amazon.) The quality/price/speed you see at Amazon & Aliexpress are market segment choices.

Knowledge of cc has never been needed? What an optimist! You must never have had headers installed in a place where the compiler (or Makefile author) didn’t expect them. Same problems with the libraries. Worse when the routine you needed to

Yeah… I don’t understand how anyone could look at the prevalence of advertising and affiliate links on the internet and believe they would for some reason stay away from the LLM products. Sure Sam Altman and his $200/mo subscribers won

“Needs to be” is a strong claim. The skill of debugging complex problems by stepping through disassembly to find a compiler error is very specialized. Few can do it. Most applications don’t need that “introspection”. They need the “encapsul

Look at traditional manufacturing. Automation has made massive inroads. Not as much of the economy is directly supporting (eg, auto) manufacturers as it used to be (stats check needed). Nevertheless, there are plenty of mechanical engineeri
