They're suggesting that you listen to and address the points they made rather than simply rephrase your original viewpoint. I'd suggest you try to understand that psychological problems are real and that you only get one brain. Yo

I think it's perfectly reasonable to have distaste for farming out unpleasant work to poorer countries. But also I think it's perfectly reasonable to accept that it's a fact of life and realise that it's literally redire

Nonetheless, de facto, they are independent. And if you'd glance back at my comment, I deliberately referred to it as "assimilating with mainland China" to pay lip service to them seeing themselves as the true government of

Taiwan is already independent. Surely the normal way to refer to it would be as coming out against assimilation with mainland China?

How many times are we going to reinvent the wheel of LLM usage and applaud? Why every day is there another LLM usage article adding essentially nothing educational or significant to the discourse voted to the top of the frontpage? Am I ju

How does it feel to read yet another unbelievably unenlightening article about LLM usage voted to the top of the frontpage for the thousandth day in a row?

vibe coding applies to very few people in this thread. almost all the people here are talking about using LLMs to do something they could do anyway, to save time, or getting the LLM to teach them how to code something. this is not vibe codi

people understandably love to understand complex things as simple logical puzzle pieces. they do it with words too. people have this tendency to act like words are formally-defined mathematical concepts, and then agonise over whether their

I was wondering this. what is the minimum amount of text an LLM needs to be coherent? fun of an idea as this is, the samples of its responses are basically babbling nonsense. going further, a lot of what makes LLMs so strong isn't thei

e+ is such an unintuitive decimal representation system. going in blindly, it's completely non-obvious what "e" stands for, surely "d" would make far more sense. also, the namespace for e is plenty filled up as is,

to nitpick, short of holding evidence of a literal internal memoradum stating it, $100,000 or $100,000,000,000 won't be able to prove that a company has no intention to resume the use of a trademark at some point. the entire affair is

honourable of an idea as this is: "When its use has been discontinued with intent not to resume such us" you will never ever be able to prove no intent to resume and as such the entire effort is beyond pointless

this is basically the equivalent of saying that content-farm writers might read your content and bastardise it into seo slop. okay, sure, it's true, but it was always true and AI doesn't change it significantly
