I guess I'm just not asking it big enough things. I'm asking it things on the level of an individual function or component. To be honest I really haven't had much success at all with IDE integrations and giving it access to t

Depends how good your QA is. Where I am it is terrible so most of the time I spend in “code review” is spent checking out the code locally and testing it myself.

It didn’t just happen. It happened through struggle and its continuation is not guaranteed. Look at all the reactionary movements springing up around the world. This is not an area I believe we can settle on “good enough”.

I would say "octopuses" personally. "Octopodes" is more etymologically correct but you run the risk of not being understood, and "octopi", while in common usage, is etymologically wrong and people who are aware

You can eat like shit and do a lot of exercise and be overweight. I’m 90 kg at 180 cm. I ride my bike 450 km per week. A few weeks ago I did a 340 km, 3000 m elevation ride at 25.6 km/h and yesterday I did a 220 km ride at 27 km/h

Amazon also has their own book printing service that they sell books from under several marques, I assume to make it more difficult to tell it’s from them. The books are very low quality with poor typesetting that makes them unpleasant to r

Doesn't really work for me at the moment with 3.7 Sonnet. If I point out redundancies it will fix them but just giving it an open-ended kind of directive hasn't been very successful in my experience.

All those non-English words you used do actually come from languages with phonetic alphabets (albeit only in one direction for French). And while English spelling is inconsistent an educated native speaker can often pronounce newly-seen wor

The arguments from the other side are of the "think of the children" and "tough on crime" variety. They are purely emotional and if you try to dispute them they just respond with "so you don't care about childr

One argument which I find profoundly stupid is the "well it doesn't matter what we do, look at China". In reality doing things more cleanly can make a huge difference to your local environment. Do you want to live right next

I know basically nothing about this area so take all this with a large grain of salt (or rice), but my understanding is they can go through the femoral or brachial vein to inject things directly into the heart. https://en.wikiped

It depends what your goals are. Also, some people can handle more volume than others, and some people need less volume than others. I am training for a 340 km/3000 m elevation bike ride in June and I am doing 15 hours of cycling per we

I don’t know anything about the technical details but you can also hear the difference when plucking in different locations on the string very clearly on a classical guitar, to the point where it is an integral part of right-hand technique

Leaving aside the question of whether AI is/will ever be actually capable of what tech bros claim, I don't think there is anything inherent to AI that will cause these issues. The problem will be with society's mode of produc

It’s the same in non-American Anglo countries as well. Zero-indexed with the zeroth floor being called “ground”.

I recommend the book “Why Only Us?” by Chomsky and Berwick on this topic. It gets quite technical in places but I still got quite a lot of out it.

In language “interrogatives” are words related to asking questions. Who, what, where, when, why are all called interrogatives. It’s definitely a less common usage but as you say it has the sense of questing or probing or feeling out. For me

The dock just annoys me. I’ve been a Mac user for almost 15 years and it has never seemed useful for me. I cmd+tab or use Alfred to switch apps. To switch between windows of one application it’s cmd+`. Note that you can also use cmd+tab and

It’s a common misconception that American accents have changed less than British accents. Both accents have changed. There’s a pretty obvious example that American accents have changed in the fact that many American accents have vowel merge

The problem is vegan is now a Bad Word. I no longer say I am vegan, I say "I don't consume animal products", which seems to get a better reception than "vegan". I wonder if using the word "vegan" will harm

I get up really early and stay on back roads. But for cars, there's a lot you can do in terms of road position and so on. For me, if I feel like I'm approaching a dangerous situation I move into the middle of the road. I also gene
