   Many of us suffer from this. "AI will take many jobs, and rightly so. But surely not my job".

   Is it just me, or is it unfair that ChatGPT doesn't know it's being tested?

   I find it funny that people take money out of First Republic and deposit into the big banks. The big banks then proceeds to return the money to First Republic. They call it a bank run but ultimately there's really no place to run.

    Interesting site. How do you decide on the result of a bet? Where do you get the truth? What if the bet is described ambiguously? Or worse yet, something like "This prediction will be false".

    Yeah, I was very confused by that paragraph. Copilot is not perfect, but it's "good enough" that I'm happily paying $10/mo.

    I think this is missing the point. The article isn't saying that Feynman always disregarded others. He'd hit a wall in his career, and the way to break out of it was to employ this psychological trick, consciously or not, to regai

    I used to get compiler warnings for this particular problem (getting a warning tag in Vim, not when compiling). Sadly the warning stopped working after some update and I have been bitten by this several times since.
