Not really. I know it hurts to hear but they are simply better. The first one I worked with would come in the morning, sit down and code. Then take a lunch break and code some more until late in the evening. He was super prolific, his proje

We lost a man on the test stand because we had a liquid oxygen leak and the liquid dripped on the flooring of the test stand. The guy came along and saw it. It had built up into like a little icicle and he kicked it and it blew his leg off

But thing is it wasn't trickier than it seemed. It was simply an outlier entry, like the flipped tortoise question that tripped the android in the Bladerunner interrogation scene. It was not able to think harder without your input.

It's amazing how great these canned apologies work at anthropomorphising LLMs. It wasn't really in haste, it simply failed because the nuance fell below noise in its training set data but you rectified it with your follow-up corre

Thing is it's absolutely possible to scale up your spending to any income level. And this is indeed what happens with many people, this is how you get these NYT pieces on households struggling on $500k. If you go by this the whole expr

There are no official, broadly recognized statistics for Iraq nor for Ukraine. The lowest Iraq estimate 120k dead civilians or so in the course of decade long conflict. This certainly tracks with estimates of Ukrainian civilian deaths. And
