Issue with LLM benchmarks is similar to cars’ benchmarks. Eg journalists almost always get the full equipped model so their review is honest but sort of rigged. I haven’t seen details of LLM benchmarks’ data sets but I would suppose that “q

Whenever a stranger sends me a well-written - even if brief - email, it makes my day. So every now and then, I spread some joy by sending an email to a complete stranger. And I always add that I don’t expect a reply, so they don’t feel obli

The people working in (traditional) media are lagging behind the online world. Twenty years ago - back in 2005–2006, when the world was just going massive online - they had to explain to newspaper owners what the internet was… and some of t

OP’s approach is one in a thousand. Imho most of professional coders trade their time for oblivion. The problem is that you really don’t remember anything about the code. It is not your creation. It’s like a monkey in front of a slot machin

Yes, every time I get message that some dependency is needed to update, I get anxious what could go wrong not to mention recent situation with malware or robware silent distribution. It doesn’t matter whether it is Wordpress, Python, Nodejs

Somehow it is less spectacular than melodysheep’s artworks about space, Timelapse of the future. But how many people know that Uran is tilted 98 degrees so it rolls around Sun? So it was good to see. NASA has nice images: https:/&#x2F

Most companies would bury this change in a deceptively boring T&Cs update, but we value transparency, so here's what you need to know in an internet-friendly numbered list: Users on our EU cloud instance are opted out by default So

Stack overflow or Claude or Wikipedia…it doesn’t matter. We don’t usually tolerate copy-paste answers at school so why should it count at work?

You could like The Red Atlas by John Davies and Alexander Kent. It is full of maps made by the Soviets of the Western world during the Cold War.

We are cooked. Bots and automated answers should be banned permanently from GitHub etc., I mean the networks based on human conversation. OP is right. I don’t want to talk with AI. BTW this will be insane in next years as LLM usage in custo

I would rather hear the answer “I don’t know. I had to look it up.” (And I don’t care what you have used as sources, as citing counts with norms/laws or in academics.) If you really rewrite LLM’s response in your own words, I will know

Sit with it a moment - you know what I mean - it’s obvious - elementary knowledge… etc. Are they clichés? Yes, they are. But AI certainly didn’t invent them. It just amplified them, because even those who couldn’t put together an essay with

I am thinking to make canned encyclopaedia of stackoverflow answers. Claude/Grok/Gemini/Chatgpt answers are often so… how to say it… misleading? I have to stop the conversation as it leads nowhere (and it is not a skill issue

If you want to get rid of salmonella, you have to achieve 158F inside meat. Not 156F. So every degree counts. Earth is so complex that we don’t know what else is hidden in permafrost, next to anthrax.

Slop rhymes with a flop. Since Nov 30, 2022 I have written a lot of “slopped code” and I can confirm that code was unreadable after a week or two - I don’t remember what it was about, even with documentation. It was a code written by a fore

Yes, you aren’t alone who noticed these color patterns. There are some skills already written and available that should overweight these Claude’s “default” graphic knowledge. I hope that it is just a tidal wave that gets smaller.

How do you solve dkim/spf/marc for so many e-mail messages being sent? If Cloudpostoffice is a messaging center for everybody involved how to get rid of bad actors’ agents that will appear?

The point here is imho that you intentionally remove the computer from the path (in some part of your work) if you want to achieve some focused deep work (in case that you aren’t coding ofc :)

Possibility to re-arrange is ofc good when working on something in progress. But how do you archive these cards? That always drove me mad so I use them only for something “encyclopaedical” otherwise it is too much messy.

Paper notebook. I wouldn’t recommend loose sheets of paper. :) After 15 years of writing notes on loose sheets I would start differently :) Go Tim Ferris way - notebook where the first page is left for the table of contents, and number all

I haven’t known awesomewm. Thumb up. As I switch between Win and Linux, I have found FancyWM for win10/11 that should do the similar. (Ofc you’ve to use mouse in Windows.)

People will either get used to it, or we’ll start seeing automated replies like “This text was automatically generated and has not been reviewed before being sent. It’s AI garbage and I refuse to read it. Do it again. And do it better.”
