I think this easily could have been me if I didn't have a gnawing hunger to find weird niche books that seem interesting to me and have very few "opinions" about them online. I think it was at 19 that I discovered I just hate

You do need to have some combination of money, time, a car, patience, taste, willingness to inspect things in person, and owned housing to care about a piece of furniture that's "not from IKEA". For a normal person who wants

I don't hate either particularly, but I care more about getting any book I want whenever, wherever, than I care about some abstract far away moralizing of something of consequence to me only ambiguously.

A craft can be extremely hard while useful output from it is relatively easy to obtain. Case in point, I used to be a very serious baker. I mean, very serious. It started when I was a child. I made sure I understood things at a molecular le

It's bad at anything that still requires constant human judgement. The only reason it can build apps and websites so easily is that human judgement was encoded in that a long time ago in many forms. It's a developed and aged pract

So you're saying a lead/manager that recognizes good programmers from bad programmers should be paid the most... rubs hands together

Honestly, I personally would be less nervous visiting China.

I wouldn't say you are overreacting at all. I know someone who was detained for months on US soil after a phone search where the only "evidence" against him they found is illegal content sent by someone else to him on a group

I believe we should.. step back a bit, and agree on what we mean by "reading books", vs "other things on a screen"; you all mean the tension between reading cumulative attention-intensive material versus discontinuous co

It would only be an oversimplification if they had claimed that every book reader understands more than every online reader, regardless of subject matter. They didn't. Plus, in your example, this hypothetical online reader has already

Exactly. Add it to the fact that the world was never particularly "fair" to deep thinkers, because said deep thinkers are often not prioritizing "production". It already rewarded people who could search for and ship a wo

I don't know, the higher my TC gets the easier I find it to reduce my spending. I feel like it inflates in the beginning and then it kinda levels out.

And what's the underlying issue, exactly?

The world might slowly realize that a lot of generative goodness and direction is the result of our limitations and constraints as builders, not necessarily our velocity.

I agree with everything you are saying, especially as someone whose main goal behind going into content is to understand, and have agreed with it for so long, and in my attempt to understand - ever since I was young - what people get from s

Can confirm. I had to make an effort NOT to cheat. It's so incredibly easy on exams with MCQs.

Yeah, you can't get it out in "one session of conversation", but you definitely can under a different... context. "Seeing the work reveals what matters. Even if the master were a good teacher, apprenticeship in the conte

Exactly, I am quite surprised by this thread. I always thought sokobans were just one of the niches of puzzle games (one that I am not quite a fan of, to be honest... I find it just okay.)

I was not actually defending LLM tools or casinos. Not every system with variable outcomes and ritualized user behavior is meaningfully equivalent to wagering money against probabilistic loss (slots). If the same reasoning were applied to v

by frgturpwd 7mo ago
I think this is more of a statement of human behavior under uncertainty and non-determinism rather than the tools themselves. Perhaps the ease of use brings it closer to the funny analogy you made but I think you will find this in any syste

I hear you, but it seems quicker to predict whether the agent's solution is correct/sound before running it than to compose and "start" coding yourself. Understanding something that's already there seems like less e

I prefer waiting till it gets me in trouble. So far, it having access to all my .env secrets seems to work out okay.

Also, this was literally said about the technology of - what OP fantasizes as - "good ole pen and paper writing" at some point by vintage philosophers. Nothing new here.

It seems like what you miss is actually a stable cognitive regime built around long uninterrupted internal simulation of a single problem. This is why people play strategy video games.

It also does not help that this has ChatGPT writing signature all over it. :)

The argument assumes a naïve pre-hermeneutic subject who could maintain a pure unmediated "self" if only they avoided LLMs. The author is nostalgic for a world that never really existed. Photography ruined painting, digital ruined
