This is likely because you're writing by moving your wrist, as opposed to "arm writing". Learning to use your arm muscles to move the pencil will slow your writing down initially, but will give you more control and reduce strain over the long run.

See, for example,

Hm. I thought LLMs weren't free. Am I missing something?

I was referring to a couple of countries in Asia.

Something to think about: perhaps the problem is with the duration of the appointment, and the difficulty of getting one in the first place? Elsewhere in the world, doctors can and do spend more than 12 minutes figuring out what's wrong with their patients. It's the healthcare system that's broken, and it _can_ be fixed without resorting to chatgpt. That it won't is the reality, though

Tell us you've never worked in a faang without telling us.

Your claim is that LLMs are better at "x" than the alternatives, for some value of x.

My point is that your claim is unsubstantiated.

... and bear more load as well.

Wow, the Mandelbrot set example really put things into perspective.

Unoptimized code would easily take tens of minutes to render the Mandelbrot in 640x480x256 on a 486. FractInt (written by Ken Shirriff) was fast, but would still take tens of seconds, if not longer -- my memory is a little hazy on this count.

Transputers were a 1980s CPU innovation that didn't live up to their original hype, and have little to no connection with TransMeta.

Indeed. It is the enigma of success in an industry with no franchise value.

I think you just proved my point - but hey, to each their own.

Good luck, again!

You're concerned about the author's bias contaminating your thinking, so the solution is to outsource your thinking to the LLM, because it's impossible for one of them to have any sort of bias at all.

This, instead of actually thinking yourself, and examining your own biases - or those of the people who wrote what you read

Right. Good luck!

Maybe actually making the interviews less of a hazing ritual would help.

Hell, maybe making today's tech workplace more about getting work done instead of the series of ritualistic performances that the average tech workday has degenerated to might help too.

Ergo, your conclusion doesn't follow from your initial statements, because interviews and workplaces are both far more broken than most people, even people in the tech industry, would think.

After reading this post, I fear that LLMs and their ilk will make humans terrible at reading and comprehension, and impair their ability to think, much as how the advent of a car-first society resulted in many humans following a sedentary lifestyle to the detriment of their health.

The article, you mean?

Also, where's it going to _go_ to?

They've explained why. Now why do you think the economics are not horrible?

Question 1: is this indeed what is most valued at the moment?

Question 2: Do you think this will ever become valuable?

> Could having a solid grasp on memory management/access in C be the same?

Perhaps not when the code is getting written (by yourself or by an AI).

When you're dealing with a memory leak in production (yes, they can and do happen), or worse -- if you're dealing with a drop in performance -- good luck with the vibe debugging.

Maybe there will be a time not too far off in the future when the stochastic cockatoos become sentient enough to do all of this by themselves, it's sure as hell not happening tomorrow.

Oh, and logarithmic tables were still a useful thing as late as forty odd years ago :)

I thought the Poles needed to be either all on the left-hand plane, or within the unit disk, for stability? (I haven't had my coffee yet, so maybe I'm remembering wrong).

Either way, I loved the joke. Thank you!

The market can stay irrational longer than the investor can stay solvent.

> Leadership always asks for more, better, faster.

More and faster, yes. Almost never better.

Aren't they actually an investment firm with a passing interest in software?

What are the odds that the comment you're responding to was AI-generated?

They're good for making CEOs rich(er)?

(Not trying to be sarcastic, this is genuinely the best reason I can think of)

Edit: made a change for completeness.

What's the difference between "IOPS" and "throughput"?

Rodents chewing through cables is a problem even in latitudes closer to the equator, where it can get hot enough that they don't (need to) seek an engine for its warmth.

... or Admiral-General Aladeen, for that matter.

This is precisely why well-designed enterprise-grade storage systems disable the drive cache and rely upon some variant of striping to achieve good I/O performance.

My point is that one cannot make blanket statements about "low performers performing better under supervision". I say this as someone who prefers to work from an office at least 4 days a week.

You're right, each of us have differing motivations. That doesn't give anyone license to promote their own point of view and tar everyone else with the same brush.
