Fair enough, maybe it was just the amount and variety of peptobismol products that I noticed were for sale everywhere. For example just in the Hotel where I was staying, they had a bunch chewable peptobismol gummy bears + the ordinary bottl

This has got to be a massive factor. What shocked me about the US when I went, was how much peptobismol people chugged down. There was not one meal in my 1 week stay there that I could digest without issue.

This is cool, I always like to see local-first services on Mobile. All of these features are great, and it's really cool that I can have them run locally on my phone, but what I feel is really missing on the Mobile App market right now

It seems like the answer is to not use it then. That would be bad for all those investors though. It's your choice I guess. Look if your evil number 57, you'd better not use the random number generator.

If you use it for a critical system, and something goes wrong, youre still responsible for the consequences. Much like if I let my cat walk on my keyboard and it brings a server down.

Im very happy to finally see this happen. It's so dangerous to centralize our digital services in the United States.

You're making leap of logic. Before water sanitization technology we had no way of sanitizing water on a large scale. Before LLMs, we could still write software. Arguably we were collectively better at it.

He's talking about "LLM Utility companies going down and the world becoming dumber" as a sign of humanity's progress. This if anything should be a huge red flag

For simple tedious or rote tasks, I have templates bound to hotkeys in my IDE. They even come with configurable variable sections that you can fill in afterwards, or base on some highlighted code before hitting the hot key. Also, its free

I trust chatgpt and gemini a lot less than stackoverflow. On stackoverflow I can see the context that the answer to the original question was given in. AI does not do this. I've asked chatgpt questions about cmake for instance that it

I'm so glad someone is taking these forward. Her videos were a god send when I started out learning this language. Besides the sometimes strange rants about text-books, her videos are top notch. This looks like it took a lot of effort

How is it better for the worker? They just go hungry instead

This doesn't surprise me at all. I work in the EU but recently the Americans we hire are very hesitant to have conversations with service providers. They will pay more to use a service that has an app, rather than call up another taxi
