Thanks for sharing. I asked because I've had similar thoughts, and I'm not sure what can be done about it. I believe that there is usually a time window where it's possible to know what's coming your way and have the cap

Sorry if I'm missing something but how do you plan to exit on your own terms if it's not allowed, and your only legal tools are DNRs and living wills? It seems like DIY methods could be risky to your family if you're already

I wasn't being snarky or pushing stocks. My point was: many or most people still think "AI" is limited to the summary at the top of Google search results. In Jon Stewart's recent podcast with Geoffrey Hinton he said tha

You're missing the "conversation" part. If you're limiting yourself to simple fact retrieval questions like this then you are...limiting yourself.

I don't know about that... The LLM only needs to convert the human language into some strict machine readable structure (like an AST), which the human doesn't need to bother with. This is a pure conversion task. From there, some

A huge context is a problem for humans too, which is why I think it's fair to suggest maybe the tool isn't the (only) problem. Tools like Aider create a code map that basically indexes code into a small context. Which I think is

It may be a good idea to refactor even if not for LLMs but for humans sake.

I'm glad to see this topic discussed here. The world should know what's going on even if Israel and it's supporters doesn't want us to see. Israel just bombed residential Qatar the other day, killing and injuring civilia

It is possible to despise Israel's behavior, and even want their current political standing to change, without being antisemitic or genocidal.

How does that relate to the bigger conversation here? Are you suggesting people stop pulling Go packages from GitHub and only use local dependencies?
