This epidemic is very visible when you peek into replies of any physics influencer on Xitter. Dozens of people are straight copy-pasting walls of LaTeX mince from ChatGPT/Grok and asking for recognition. Perhaps epidemic isn't the

Not at all, I think the big part was just my unfamiliarity with insuretech plus the unexpected change in gpt-4 behavior. I'm assuming here, but would you say that better critical thinking skills would have helped me avoid spending that

It's funny that you mention this because I had a similar experience. ChatGPT in its sycophancy era made me buy a $35 domain and waste a Saturday on a product which had no future. It hyped me up beyond reason for the idea of an online,

These limits are not reasonable at all. You are going to curse the Backblaze or AWS S3 before you learn to never pipe the output of pg_dump into an object store like that.

I have skimmed the article and the old thread, but I still have questions: - What's the point of sending ICMP pings to measure RTT, if they will just bounce off of the CGNAT node? - If two Starlink dishes are talking, is there a scenar

This is crazy. Brings back a vivid memory from y2k when I was ten, how I was very sad after looking at a $5000 laptop behind a shop window. I had a reference for $5000 in my head, because we have then just sold our apartment for the same am

Yes it's pricey, though you can get one almost new from eBay at 1/3 of the retail cost. And yeah the batteries are great, `powertop` reported 55h battery life remaining at 60% backlight with a single `st` terminal window open. And
