Hm. I thought LLMs weren't free. Am I missing something?

Something to think about: perhaps the problem is with the duration of the appointment, and the difficulty of getting one in the first place? Elsewhere in the world, doctors can and do spend more than 12 minutes figuring out what's wron

Your claim is that LLMs are better at "x" than the alternatives, for some value of x. My point is that your claim is unsubstantiated.

Wow, the Mandelbrot set example really put things into perspective. Unoptimized code would easily take tens of minutes to render the Mandelbrot in 640x480x256 on a 486. FractInt (written by Ken Shirriff) was fast, but would still take tens

You're concerned about the author's bias contaminating your thinking, so the solution is to outsource your thinking to the LLM, because it's impossible for one of them to have any sort of bias at all. This, instead of actuall

Maybe actually making the interviews less of a hazing ritual would help. Hell, maybe making today's tech workplace more about getting work done instead of the series of ritualistic performances that the average tech workday has degener

After reading this post, I fear that LLMs and their ilk will make humans terrible at reading and comprehension, and impair their ability to think, much as how the advent of a car-first society resulted in many humans following a sedentary l

I thought the Poles needed to be either all on the left-hand plane, or within the unit disk, for stability? (I haven't had my coffee yet, so maybe I'm remembering wrong). Either way, I loved the joke. Thank you!
