I just started getting ads in chats with ChatGPT... Insane.

But you gotta learn about processes, signals, job control, traps, exit statuses, pipelines, file descriptors and all those things though. Shell is still a great glue language that helps with that. Learning Python does not really replace knowing how the shell and Unix process model work. It could, but try translating some very short shell commands into Python and see how much more machinery you need!

My 2 cents. :)

I have been thinking about just this the past two weeks. I have been trying to recall the excitement, the joy in the most mundane things, and indeed I think it has a lot to do with anticipation. FWIW LSD allowed me to experience this joy, and the curiosity kids have, or I had. :)

I wanted to reply this to your other comment but it works here as well.

If I get frustrated by it because it just would not "listen", I discontinue its use!

But it is futile to get frustrated or annoyed by an LLM. I do get frustrated, too, but I do not "yell" at it hoping that it will miraculously do what I want. GPT (again, free tier, so no wonder) got me frustrated too because I felt like it just would not listen, no matter how specific I was, so yeah I did experience what the author intended to show.

Same. I have never seen it (Opus) act like this either. EVER. Not in the past 3 years at least.

Be specific.

That said, GPT always acts up even if I am specific, but I only have the free tier there.

> Why is half the site blue now? I asked you to change one button.

> Half the site is blue. I asked for ONE button.

Those are my only options when the site is clearly not blue, two buttons are.

There is a reason for why I am much more specific than this.

I thought reading is not going to do that much, as it only improves your recognition, not your ability to actively use the vocabulary.

At least this is what I came to find, as I have some issues currently with "blanking" more than I would like.

Yeah, heck, whenever an LLM puts my thoughts and intuition into words, it sounds really complex as well.

(FWIW I have an issue with producing words, rather than recognition. I do have the intuition I just lack the labels for it.)

Yes! I immediately noticed that what I said was wrong (even though the word I said still felt somehow connected to the thought I was trying to communicate). I was really worried at first when it happened because at the first time I had no idea sleep deprivation would cause this, or that I would experience it.

I had no idea migraine causes this as well, interesting.

Oh yeah, I have been sleep deprived so much that the things that I said made no sense. I still formulated sentences but they did not have any meaning. In fact, I noticed this myself and I was like "fuck, what I just said made no sense". This happened a few times. It is a pretty interesting experience.

Yeah because "works many times in a row" = "deterministic" to many people.

Yeah! I added that as an example and then edited it out.

Your parent's comment makes no sense.

Water can kill you, too! It does not mean that drinking water is bad.

I think this is making the assumption that temporally elevated HR and BP is bad.

> Oracle treats empty strings as being NULL.

That is ridiculous. Do not they know the difference between "" and NULL?

My previous comment got flagged about a minute after I posted it to you. It was three paragraphs and it argued a position without any abuse in it. It is probably someone in this thread who hit flag instead of replying because they did not like what I said. Which is suspicious, and it is also the thing I was already talking about. The throwaway shill insinuation earlier was a way to avoid engaging with a disagreement, and a flag does the same job. Welp.

Yeah, because criticizing the US, and/or making China look good can get you on certain lists. Maybe that is the reason?

FWIW I do not buy into the "China bad, we good" narrative either.

The US has done really fucked up things, bombed countries for freedom, there has been recent events as well. I do not even think they were ever the "good guys" they thought they are. In Hollywood movies, sure, but in reality? Nah.

Good, so it might not be over, considering everyone around the world can use PGP and browsers?

Cannot you just obtain them the same way you would obtain any copyrighted material and use them locally?

Oh brings me to the good pre-CoC era when we did not need to have explicit rules and a simple rule "don't be an asshole" worked just fine. :D You might say that it is too broad, but now with the CoC you have many more broad rules. :P

What do you mean there is not a whole lot of homework prior to Grade 7?

We had a fuckton of homework at every grade, here in Hungary.

That is what I have been saying: we need ZKP! I highly doubt they will implement it though.

They were pretty good a year ago, so I am sure it is even better than that now.

I have many projects with 0 commits, meaning were I to use git, it would be a single commit. It does not mean anything.

Yeah, pretty much. :)

I removed it but I added that I hate these people. :P So yeah, it pisses me off, too.

GPL makes sure that the code remains open. Seems like these new gen devs are against open source.

Yes, these are gut feelings. That said, I have lots of experiences with Opus and I have lots of projects and contributions (all reviewed and tested) made with the help of it. Definitely useful, to me and to people whose project matters to them. :P

Adding "do not make mistakes" is silly, in my opinion. There is always a good chance it will make mistakes. You should rather be more specific about a thing rather than as broad as "do not make mistakes" is. It just does not work that way.

I do agree.

I think that the numerical example you gave appears to be wrong unless you intended 1% rather than 0.01%.

In any case, fair enough. The concern is that organizations will build processes around AI where many people do not review outputs carefully. I do not disagree with this.

I also agree that my particular workflow is anecdotal and does not work at scale.
