I’m a software person, llm tools for programming have been frankly remarkable. In my cleanest codebases copilot (using gpt4) autocompletes my intention correctly about 70% of the time today, reducing the amount of code I physically type by a huge margin. The accuracy shifts over time and it’s dramatically less helpful for repositories that aren’t pristine and full of well named functions and variables

Beyond that chatgpt has been a godsend sifting through the internet for the information I need, the new web feature is just outstanding since it actually gives sources

Chatgpt has also helped with writers block a ton, getting beyond plot points in my novel I was having a hard time with

It’s been great with recipes, no more wading through fake life stories and ads

It’s been helpful for complex questions about new topics I’m an amateur on, I’ve learned so much about neurology and the process of how neurons interact almost exclusively through the platform, fact checking takes a little time but so far it’s been almost perfectly accurate on higher level objective questions

It’s been helpful as a starting place for legal questions, the law is complex and having a starting place before consulting the lawyers has been really nice so I know what to ask

I could go on

Imo velocity and user experience aren’t mutually exclusive, as a developer I can respond to user requests way faster with web technologies.

As a consumer vscode is a perfect example of why the ecosystem has value, are there other products that fill the same roles? Absolutely, but if you were around for the transition from bloodshed, codeblocks, eclipse and the like to sublime and vscode and other more modern editors you should remember how gamechanging the positive feedback loop of velocity achieved for the dev community in the form of user experience.

Nah electron is an excellent technology, v8 is a remarkable engine. Maybe something like tauri will unseat it eventually but the ability to spin up a new product in relatively short order is good for everyone. Ram and disk usage are higher than they would be with a native app but velocity is unparalleled

This is not legal advice.

Lie.

Jfc yikes, vindman suffered quite enough already for doing his duty, his testimony during the impeachment trials was clear, well articulated, and not inflamatory. He said he trusted America to have his back for doing the right thing, too bad more than half of all US voters betrayed that trust.

People like to ask edgy questions to get imaginary points or to feel important by getting hidden information, people are goofy.

Why are people religious? In part because it’s human nature to want to know things that other people don’t know. Fake hidden knowledge is a sweet treat to a truth starved brain

I think it may be a mistake to avoid listening to positions other than your own because you internally categorize the sentiment as the enemy.

It’s mildly inflamatory to say that critiques of a system are equivalent to “an infection” and can stifle reasonable discussion

A lot has changed since the 60s

Speed is literally not even a concern, the only thing I want more of is people. Make it easier to sign up or something

Man I love let’s encrypt, remember how terrible ssl was before the project landed?

Some of them perhaps, but the home is understated if anything, especially with interest rates in the 7% range. They’re also not accounting for taxes, utilities, repairs, and insurance

Proxies are effective political attack vectors, see: politician’s family like hunter biden, non running candidates like joe biden, talkshow hosts who speak positively about one or the other candidate

This kind of focal shift happens all the time, evidently to pretty decent effect, elon husk making himself the center of the R campaign brings his positive and negative baggage with it.

Side note

Husk isn’t a US citizen so this is his peak political influence

1. Sadness and depression are chemical events in your brain that you have no conscious control over
2. You can consciously control some of the common triggers that lead to negative thoughts but most people can’t completely turn off given thoughts
3. Your brain is like the earth and thoughts are like rivers, the more you think certain ways the more you will continue to think those ways, neural pathways are strengthened by their activations

Learn to redirect, wear a bracelet or similar physical reminder of a specific thing you like, when you experience the thoughts you want to avoid, redirect and focus on the things you like

Change your environment, identify triggers that push you toward depression and avoid them. Some literally cannot be avoided, and some situations are impossible to escape, in those cases accept the associated negativity and redirect

Find people who have the attitudes and feelings you want to emulate and spend time with them, we are social and learn much from our peers

Ingest media that aligns with your desired world view, avoid tragedies, horror movies, gore, popular doom news media, etc. This will force you into an echo chamber but it is a popular coping technique

Most important you are your own person, write down how you feel and what triggered those emotions every day. You can’t really know if you’re improving if you don’t have a record

Intent is harder to prove but just as much a part of the US legal system as anything else. Everybody knows what he’s doing.

Iasip: “because of the implication”

I think in the dark matter/expansion model the idea is that light is stretched due to the universe itself expanding, but maybe I misunderstood the premise. Regardless of the veracity of the dark matter model, the original question of the mechanism of loss is still relevant I think.

So “tired light” could explain redshift, light that loses energy over time, but where would that energy be going? Heat loss somehow? Energy can’t be destroyed according to our current understanding so I’m not sure I understand the mechanism of decay

Just talking about the map editor if it’s an executable

I’d be cautious about running any “leaked” software directly, great way to identify the modding community if it dials home, maybe run it in a vm, behind a vpn? Unless it’s just source code in which case carry on
