You accept that what made this career rewarding (besides money) is gone and pick up a hobby that gets you into flow state. That's why I've picked up drawing again :)

That was my first thought. Ironic they don't want to read LLM responses in their searches but they expect us to read their LLM article about it.

I can see it now: "You're absolutely right — I shouldn't have instructed the baristas to add antifreeze to the coffee to make it sweeter." Joking aside, what does this prove? That you might as well forget about the drea

People can spend their time as they choose, but if you feel the need to post about it online don't be surprised if someone offers their opinion. If they don't want feedback then don't call attention to it.

The problem is AI is being pushed and used as the equivalent of using a chess engine to tell you the best move during a match. Maybe there's a way AI can be used to make developers better but it mostly just seems to be the equivalent o

Yeah, for real. Imagine being so addicted to the AI slot machine that you can't be without it for 10 hours.

If you feel the need to babysit your employees you probably need new employees. Why are your seniors not unblocking your juniors? And if your seniors are complacent maybe they just need a good challenge.

Neither the government nor an ad agency needs to know where I am, no matter how "rough" the data is. It's none of their business.

This isn't about doing "serious" work, it's about making ChatGPT the first thing you interact with in the day (and hopefully something you'll keep coming back to)

Wow, no responses? I guess it depends what they will use it for. IPads are probably the easiest, could save some money with an older or refurbished model. Or get a cheap Kindle Fire tablet. Both are good enough for email, Facebook, and some

I don't get the point of book stores when there's libraries. My local library let's me reserve books online, and if they don't have a book, they usually have it at another library in the county and will ship it to my loc

I'm a fan of learning enough to know how to get going, then just start building. In the process of building you'll get stuck and have to look for answers. As for are there better tools, I don't know what your needs are. Is th

I suppose any disease isn't that bad when you have round the clock medical care pumping you full of medicine.

But couldn't the same thing apply to traffic deaths? In 2018, in the US, over 36,000 people died in car accidents. That's higher than coronavirus deaths, so logically shouldn't we all stay off the roads and quit going to work

So it's what I'm thinking, it's the news hyping it up to get clicks, ad impressions, etc? Seems kind of irresponsible to get the public into a frenzy just to make money.

Except that according to the CDC, second hand smoke causes 41,000 deaths per year in the US: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/heal...

Can someone explain to me why coronavirus is getting so much coverage? According to Wikipedia, Coronavirus has killed about 2000 people. Each year smoking kills 480,000 people in the US. In two days smoking will have killed more people in

At this point, I assume any article that relies on click bait titles are lacking in depth. "Will this vegetable cure cancer?" No, it will not. "This new productivity hack may surprise you!" Chances are it's just som

You don't need advanced AI to create hyper realistic deep fake news. You just need to take a picture of X candidate, stick a made up quote beneath them, and put it on Facebook. There's enough people on social media who will share

It doesn't. The wording of the post I replied to was an angry, black and white response condemning a rising stock market since it benefits the wealthy. My point was the stock market affects everyone, not just the super rich. I wouldn&#

My 401k is invested in that same stock market, along with the retirement accounts of every other person in the United States. I hope the market continues to rise, especially since my parents will be retiring soon.

Not sure why you're looking for that value exactly or what your current situation is, but in addition to increasing your income, you can also look at decreasing your expenses. It may be easier to shave off $500 in monthly expenses and

Awesome, thanks for the reply! Guess I'll make a point to read your book then :-)

You wrote two books and you run DDG? Got any advice on balancing it all? (also thanks for DDG!)

Looks cool, but the problem I keep coming back to everytime I switch to Linux is... Why? Windows works just fine for me. I use my computer for a browser, video games, .NET development, and web development. I've spent many, many hours o

And why do they feel it's appropriate to ask for help there? This would be like going to a talk from a presidential candidate about fuel economy, and raising your hand and saying "My car doesn't start, can you help me?"
