Europe's first mistake was abandoning nuclear energy, and their second mistake was not going all in on renewables.

If human knowledge were a pyramid, LLMs just make the pyramid flatter, i.e. shorter, wider at the bottom, and narrower at the tip. It makes Humans dumber.

I think it absolutely is for everyone, especially for introverts. It's a muscle, go train it. Source: me.

That's because you aren't combining it with more advanced commands, or macros.

"10j" may sound useless. But "y10j50jp" is much more effective. Put that in a macro that does other stuff too, and suddenly you perform complex editions to a file containing thousands of lines of text in a few seconds.

That sounds like the perfect thing to do while I'm driving.

> This is why it's impossible to create a digital assistant, or really anything useful, via Markov Chain. The fact that they only generate sequences that existed in the source mean that it will never come up with anything creative.

Or, in other words, a Markov Chain won't hallucinate. Having a system that only repeats sentences from it's source material and doesn't create anything new on its own is quite useful on some scenarios.

Because it's a type of message, just like "GET" in the context of HTTP.

I've never looked at the source code of a PT, but my understanding is that they also implement heuristics to detect strange behaviors, i.e. clients trying to fake their ratio.

> because clearly keeping us alive after the age of 40 really wasn't _that_ necessary for human survival.

That's a very common misconception. Being alive after 40 is quite necessary if you are a member of a gregarious species that (bar exceptions) always lives in community. And it's not only about the survival of your own genes, it's about the survival of the genes of the whole community.

There are studies that show that regular sun exposure is correlated with both lower incidence of and lower mortality from melanoma.

So as long as you're not getting sum burns, sun exposure is actually better for you.

In some decades we'll look at the whole sun avoidance policy as those doctors prescribing cigarettes a century ago.

They do the same with emails. I've got emails from them with links to paypal-communication.com. It's stupid.

Babies, just like adults, are extremely social animals. And they absolutely need to interact with a bunch of other people their age, even more than us. Daily, and for a long period of time. An hour at the park doesn't cut it, and being all day with a sibling doesn't either.

So beyond everyone going back to a Neolithic way of life and living in a bunch of straw teepees all bundled close together, daycare is the best solution I've found to this need.

Just as an example, my oldest has been besties with another kid since they were both 7 months old.

And for any Arch users reading this, AUR is the wild west too.

> Paradoxically, most of the treatment/recovery advice for this type of OCD is to allow these sensations to be there without rejecting them

That sounds a lot like meditation.
