> Has Codex started overusing “seam” too? I thought that was a Claude-ism Honestly, it's pretty good about this. Its terms are pretty fitting. Load-bearing, seam, etc. I'd actually say these were nice gifts to our developer par

Astrology. I think there is something to it (and I perfectly well understand if others don't). I've been attempting some "cold" natal readings by having an LLM giving me a person who isn't outrageously famous but ha

I can't be the only one to think it is silly to interact with tools in this way. Honestly, I see skills, "hooks", and other monkey-patch efforts as things that will be short-lived investments, weird kludges from an era where

Terrible, honestly. Betrayed, gaslit. Don't tell me it's just a tool and it's my problem...hell no, fix your stupid tool. The whole point is to immerse yourself so you don't feel any different than having an energetic an

Delightfulness? I'm seeing some indication "delightness" may be a word (can't say 100%)...but it seems a poor substitution for IMO the natural version of it

They are utterly cooked. The only ones I've ever seen on the "it's not so bad" side of this argument are aloof boomers and anyone young enough to never have experienced at least a good swath of the 90s--i.e. has no truly

Is there no pipeline--or a job fair? A way to get a moment with prospective employers? It seems tragically stupid if MIT offers no such thing. Applying into the void seems like a fool's errand.

I think as-applied now, the author's take strikes a chord with me. LLMs are a technical marvel, but their results feel very cheap and tacky...it doesn't take much to catch at glimpse at the fallible man behind the curtain. They ar

That sounds terrible! Some people just take these things in stride I guess, but I have no interest in going through these kind of hurdles for something like this...

"pay-to-win" Yah, good luck with that. Anyone who has played competitively knows you will absolutely get stomped by a higher skill opponent even if your deck is more powerful on paper unless the discrepancy is ludicrous. Garfield

This is real thing I'm glad you've acknowledged as more than just a figment of my imagination. There are things I want to do outside of work programming that are there own level of mental taxing and/or creative...side project

Well, I guess we're just naturally evolving and adapting into enslaving ourselves, just following nature's course... There doesn't need to be a "master plan", but clearly there are some working themes

I'd argue that better relative ergonomics had diddly squat effect on Python's current position. It's first mover advantage, plain and simple. It got its hooks in data science like JavaScript got its in the browser. I can say

It can be. Anything can be. It is far more treacherous, though.

By this logic, the Imperial System is the best measurement system for the US (pick whatever entrenched system you want). Whether you agree or disagree with it, it's the most widely used in US so its superiority there is self-evident.

That's really not fair here. These would be trains you could bolt onto highways, and "transform" them back into cars as needed.

I've found playing Magic the Gathering improves my ability on this. There is chess, too...but IMO you encounter more novel situations more often in MTG where things will cost you. It's interesting in the sense that sometimes thing

No. I'm not sure I understand either the appeal or the intuition behind that position. The logic, I can grasp, once you've "gone in" and accepted a premise that we're in some multiverse where the uninhibited numbers
