Was in an extreme depressive episode at the time, with a lot of NFT/web3 clients. Rather than clocking it as the collective hallucination it was, I instead became self-critical, oh how I had finally become old, and I will never ever understand what the kids are talking about anymore.

Glad it turned out to be Michelin-starred bollocks.

I had some experience similar to this and found that after some months, when logging in on an extremely familiar to Google setup, that there was an additional prompt where it asked for some old passwords IIRC and then let me in.

I am unsure what China's contribution has been beyond slave labour that destroyed the American middle class? I did like Parasite.

Thank you so much for sharing that URL! Works in US of A.

I lived two blocks from a Costco in Manhattan for quite some time.

I totally get where you are coming from, just offering a counter. I have observed that the packed like tinned sardines is one kind of life, typically lived by transient folks who desire to live in the hippest neighborhoods, get gouged, live in shitboxes, and then move on and say "I needed more space and convenience", when the space and convenience was always there, just not next to an Equinox.

Not even. It's literally "yeah bro, you gotta get a Mac Mini".

There are four Costco's in NYC, all but one in working class neighborhoods, and full of large families getting deals.

If the stats in this are true, Amazon’s warehouse workforce turns over at 25 times the rate of Costco’s workforce, for almost the same wage. That is remarkable.

Just thinking about that little big neck of the world puts me to sleep. In the best of ways. I love West Texas.

Not my argument.

I agree that we need structures in place to penalize misuse of the tool.

Colonoscopy detection has gotten modestly better with AI assistance.

New tool that does task better than worker leads to workers being less good at task. Net outcome for patient is positive. Next?

Programming: "for a given task, if you take a shortcut then you will not have the familiarity and expertise that someone who took the veritable and righteous path would have".

The question is then, what did you do with the extra time. If it's fuck all, then yes, that's a liability.

Like any technology, it comes down to the disposition of any given person in how they plan on applying it.

Not trying to say it's all going to be awesome. Definitely maybe the opposite. These arguments are weak tho.

Zune was low key pretty damn solid. (Yes, I lived in Redmond as a teenager.) In fact I may even say it was their last gasp of a solid user interface. Right before Vista.

Is there a better Maps app?

I guess those gaussian splats on Apple Maps could be p. neat.

Yes. This is good insight.

I was asking about the kids!

Do any of said PhDs gain anything positive from LLM usage? Or does it only lead to declining thinking skills in your view?

Alone? No.

Yes.

The vernacular around prompts, text, and docs, is quite amazing. Marketing really is value creation.

Or the model could just be shite.

1mm context window is pretty big. Even if dumber, opens new avenues. For the record I don't think we ever got better than 4 and 4.1.

There is an uncanny valley effect to websites where FE is created in full via an AI.

These sites have the immediate scent of 'high design', with errors that no 'high designer' would dare make.

The italics give me nausea. Text promoted with orange fill is seemingly random. There is no thought behind the combination of art and copy. Random smattering of Title Case and Sentence case and lower case. A lack of commitment to a full stop Widowed H1s. H1s with random spaces .

At the same time, if I hammer CMD - to 25%, it looks fancy. Perhaps nobody gives a fuck.

That said, I'm excited to try this tool!

Uncle Sam likes tax payers.

I believe the current administration, in general, appreciates those with $$.

Uncle Sam likes tax payers.

By bearable do you mean it exists? It's fucking shite.

How so?

Anyone in the arts is aware that creativity is not the new, it is the repackaging of what already exists into something that is itself new.

Are the Met lying in these FOI request responses?
