I agree, initial comment was basically that, and seeing a lot of folks (especially those with debatable technical skills) being very impressed with LLMs for boilerplate generation, e.g. "I build a WHOLE APP", etc.

I do agree that "assisted writing" is going to get old fast. Though your comment did made me think of as an alterative to chatting with LLMs, AI could be used to present search results on a particular topic in whatever format you

Another thing about walking is - while everyone's different, long walks really increased my appetite. While walking 4 miles daily (with some hills) was great in many ways, I slowly gained 20+ pounds over 2 years. Running didn't

That's fun. I remember doing this ~2001 with some JSP tags. Everyone thought it was terrible idea but it was really productive tbh.

It seems to have changed in past decades. When I was in school in 70s/80s, everyone brought their lunch. And we weren't in a well-off area or anything.

Yes I suppose in this case, I'm leaning on Amazon to be some arbiter of quality vs unfiltered output from borderline scammers.

This was solved in past by publishing editors, bookstore owners/purchasers, and even librarians. It's cool "we have scaled" to streamline the publishing direct to readers, but maybe profitable sellers like Amazon should

A lot . We were moving towards that approach when I left, though the detailed UI tests were then in JS tests which didn't need the whole app running.

Yeah, we were spending 10s of thousands of dollars on CI costs a month for a huge Rails app's integration tests alone..

Taking long walks daily was great but damn if it didn't increase my appetite. I gained weight over a couple years in spite of 4+ miles a day.

If someone is able to first scam state and financial aid for a non existent student that seems more first issue to fix than at the point there's a bot/scammer in CC classes submitting AI homework.

It does afaik so I'm confused what the monetary scam is. Community College in California is cheap or free for most students so I feel like something is being left out of the explanation.

I didn't say it wasn't anti colonial at all, but by the time the US got actively involved it was certainly also/mostly a civil war/communist revolution.
