Go camping and have fun. Leave the LLM and your laptop at home. If you run into some situation where something bad is happening use your phone to call for help or talk to chatgpt if you must.

I don't really care too much what tools one integrates into their repertoire and I personally think being "good at good" is a valid problem solving skill. By extension, being "good at llm) seems like a valid skill as wel

Would you let a police officer search your home just because they say they wanted to? Would you let them search your phone just because they said they wanted to? I fully accept that there are some places and situation where these searches a

I understand that this is UK related, but why would we (particularly in the USA) allow cops to do anything "just because they wanted"?

I can say from personal experience, it now costs about double to eat out than it did pre-pandemic. Half of that increase coming this year alone. Pre-pandemic eating out at a nice place near where we live cost about $100 for the family inclu

SO is incredibly toxic and this is from someone who tries to answer at least one question a day. While I use the site daily, I would never ask a question and in fact I hesitate to answer some questions I feel are good as there are people wh

For years there have been manoshpere influencers telling young men that emotional development is for the weak and that higher education is for suckers. Is it really any wonder that men have taken these lessons to heart?

Solid, particularly the advice about context. I find with AI, less is better. Once you have "enough" context, adding more increases the risk of problems. The one I take exception with is the last. "You don't need to unde

I hear you for sure. I personally have the luxury of working remotely on a semi-regular basis when I'm not on site at a client's location and I love it. I have worked remotely on and off for 20 years and it is not all gravy though

I feel terrible for this guy, but he really has stacked the deck against himself by moving to a rural area and refusing (or being unable) to work "on-site". He is up against every new grad and every laid off FAANG programmer cling

I'm a bit confused. You wanted to buy a thing and amazon ultimately allowed you to do so despite a slight hiccup. Did you not end up getting what you wanted?

At least the small letter "a" appears as it would when written by hand. All fonts that add the "hanger hook" on top of the small "a" irritate me.

I consult in higher ed and I feel like some of what is said is true while many other parts are not. First let me say that my impression is that current college students do tend to have shorter attention spans and a weak grasp on plagiarism.

The unfortunate reality is that foreign aid is all but defunct, particularly when it co.e to Africa and if the usa is only willing to spend 1000 per victim to combat opiod deaths then I see little chance that they would spend 4x that to sav

I agree, except, co-pilot currently reports that I have used 35% of my code completion quota (and 0% of my conversation quota). I'm sure if it is tracking that telemetry, there are similar management reports that will claim it "wr

No, I would not hire a vibe coder. I think vibe coding will make cowboy coding look rigorous and make debugging next to impossible. It is already the case where I interview less experienced people who ultimately have no ability to code. Vib
