What is your rationale for advocating for caution here?

somewhat sad to say that if you follow the map link ( https://caltopo.com/m/4N7A ) there's in fact a trail right next to the "point of inaccessibility" that includes trails + roads. The path was added to O

I once made a similar map at work, but for the whole USA. You can view it if you use onX Hunt - called the "Roadless" layer under "Roads Trails & Rec."

This is a common misconception. Topical tretinoin has been shown to have no effect on the fetus. Oral tretinoins (like isotretinoin) have been linked to congenital defects. This is due to the differing rates of absorption and the resulting

Same here. I always marvel at this. These recollections can even be years later, and the memory of the place in which I heard the remembered thing is vivid.

Thanks for writing it, I enjoyed the perspective. I found it by way of Michael Sacasas' post: https://theconvivialsociety.substack.com/p/feeding-on-illusi...

Look, really not trying to get into the weeds here, but since we're there: I respect your take that nothing in this article is novel, though I disagree with it. My point wasn't as much about that as it was the lack of good faith e

TFA raises several points I hadn't heard before. Here's one. The artifacts we produce define our culture. If we allow LLMs to produce our work, our culture represents that which they understand. But LLMs can't be trained on t

I'm the op on this one (not the author). Gotta say, I had higher hopes for the community here. Isn't it worthwhile to examine our patterns of thinking and work? Shouldn't alternative perspectives such as these spark conversat

This is good. The number of times I've downloaded and re-converted these files...too many to count.

Yeah. This is why we have connection pooling.

I've also tried this. Very interesting, but must be used sparingly in my experience. Hiking is a place where before I used to go to think, or not think at all. Prompting an AI while doing so can feel very bad if really what I'm lo

I agree with all that. Maybe the word isn't "blame," then. Surely there must be some code, perhaps moral or ethical, but ideally more rigorously enforcible, which ought to prevent the development of intentionally deceiving to

Completely infuriating, but more of a commentary on the sad state of incompetent power-hungry law enforcement with tools they don't know how to use than the tools themselves. Though, the question remains: are the tools built in such a

Idk, depends. Is going to office-hours in order to pass an exam "doing the thing?" Help seems fine.

I really love US Mobile. I was a flagship postpaid $90/mo VZW customer for a decade and was so hesitant to switch. It's been 4 years now, and all I can say is that I can't believe I waited so long.

To an extent there are incentive structures that support what you're describing, but the reality is that they just don't hold the same amount of value as "results-based" publishing does.

100 percent. I'm guilty of doing this wrong in the beginning of my PhD, and it was the biggest hurdle I needed to learn how to overcome. It's easy to try to force problems onto methodologies; it's much harder (and more intere
