One thing I have grown into is to refuse to use my time to try to find prices for stuff, when the store fails to label it.

The opening text image did explicitly say that the writers did come up with explanations.

Those are not the same.

• Hezbollah was firing rockets at Israel from Southern Libanon. Occupying the land until Hezbollah/Lebanon promises to stop shooting rockets at Israel is in principle legal under international law.
• Russia’s invasion/annexation of Ukraine is entirely illegal and unjustified.

So my advice to James is simple: Use a lower power level, stir your food partway through microwaving, and let it sit for a few minutes before you eat it.

RAM used to be ~$4/GB. So 300*4=$1200. A price increase of $1200 is actually pretty darn affordable to get self driving, surely?

Sure, there are other components than RAM needed. But the RAM alone is not what would make it unaffordable.

Almost everything Trump does is to Russia’s benefit. Sometimes blatantly so. But then once in a while there is a curveball hurting Russia. I am a bit confused, actually.

The world is not that simple. There are too many combinations to try. And you risk hitting local maxima, even if doing the gradient thing.

I were simply unable to convince Codex to split a patch into separate git commits in a meaningful way. There are things that just doesn’t work.

Still useful for lots of stuff. Just don’t use it blind.

If used by an expect developer, then the combinations are not just random “lucky” choices.

Well, yes, that is a central point.

I am a senior programmer. LLMs are amazing - I know exactly what I want, and I can ask for it and review it. My productivity has gone up at least 3-fold, with no decrease in quality, by using LLMs responsibly.

But it seems to me that some people on social media just can’t imagine using LLMs in this way. They just imagine that all LLM usage is vibe coding, using the output without understanding or review. Obviously you are very unlikely to create any fundamentally new solutions if you only use LLMs that way.

only to find out you didn’t provide adequate requirements for your config.

Senior programmer. I know exactly what I want. My requirement communicated to the LLM are precise and adequate.

The database was an arbitrary example. A more relevant example would be tenserflow layers in a neural network. As I understand it, you can in some cases get a novel solution to a problem just by choosing a smart enough combination, with the right data.

ChatGPT absolutely knows how to help doing the grunt work setting up the tenserflow configuration, following your directions.

Even novel solutions are usually built out of smaller common building blocks. E.g. many novel solutions surely use a database. You can make the LLM help you set up and use the database, that your novel solution uses.

As I read it, they are scared of the Chinese Communist Party having an “official” back door built in. Not run-of-the-mill criminal bot-nets.

At this point I am not even sure whether Trump wants Ukraine to win.

European cities have grocery stores within walking distance. I walk to mine, no problem.

There is zero chance that MAGA will look at the Trump quote, and say “you know what, you have a point, I can’t be mad at you for celebrating Trump’s death without being a hypocrite”.

Wrestling terminology is once again best for describing MAGA. There are certainly “smarks” who know and don’t care, yes. But there is surely also plenty of “marks”, who believes it is reality. Remember how stupid the average person is.

But at the same time those same people are in panic about stuff like trans people and public bathrooms. Which has never and will never affect them personally.

Vibe coding involves accepting AI-generated code without reviewing it,

If you are using LLMs to write e.g. small components, then you are typically understanding the structure of the program, and reviewing it.
