That all makes sense - I'm not involved enough in local politics so I can't comment knowledgebly. But that doesn't mean the people trying to prevent change have (only) invalid reasons. Voting is critical, but it still lags be

Since you're using it for Netflix, etc I assume it has unrestricted Internet access. With that and microphone access, you're giving tacit permission to capture and upload basically whatever it wants, to whoever it wants. That se

With that many accidents, I'd assume bankruptcy if she didn't. re: 2) yes that was the point. She'd have to be paying multiple thousands in an assigned-risk pool policy with that record of at-faults.

Logs are great. Interactive debugging is great. Both of these can also help build an understanding of the code and systems involved. But they're just debugging tools, and they should rarely be /required/ to find a bug. I am

I'm actually not complaining. I coach them through it, but the primary help I give is showing them how to walk through the code, and break the dependency on logs/repro scenarios.[1] In addition, if you find the issue in the code -

Your statement intrigues me, for I have always found it impossible. I dabbled in short-hand some years ago, and still couldn't keep up. I type very quickly and still can't always keep up. How does this work, especially the "

I don't know that we can all tell. The number of times I've seen a blog post or article's writing complimented on this site when it was clearly LLM output has been surprising.

They kind of are fungible, up to a certain level of task. And much like most software developers don't need to exercise deep comp sci skills, most sw engineering doesn't have tasks that require the best models.
