Or advice on lock picking, disabling burglar alarms, hotwiring cars, phishing, and defrauding before visiting top executives to thank them for such great advice and generous severance pay for all those years of hard work and compensate for finding a good job in a shrinking job market.

They'll never blame themselves or their parents for voting these people in power.

I did see a lot more Cloudflare prompts lately on sites which had no issue with Pale Moon before.

I still don't think that explains this bit: "which breaks down each case into step-by-step diagnostic processes that mirror how human physicians work"

This sounds like either side used the same method, yet one side is somehow much better. This makes it look like the physicians are incompetent.

is what was the difference between the LLMs and the doctors? Especially when they claim the LLMs did things step by step as those doctors did.

Were the doctors under the usual work pressure, fatigued, etcetera?

And I would if there was indeed one nearby. My mother loves to read and as a kid I always went with her to one, and have been a patron until work, relationship, and hobby left me with too little time and simply buying batches of (second-hand) books was easier and more accessible.

I also write fiction and the whole LLM happening has me pondering where and how to publish the latest novel I'm working on. The question might be even if to publish it.

I think mandating stricter languages or higher skilled developers won't matter anyway. If it did, Ada would still have been the mandatory language for all (or most) government used software. Or supposed to be.
Rules will be bent at tiny corners for budget reasons, then bent a little more at the next budget meetings, and the next, and soon everything's SNAFU again.

Besides, memory safety is a good thing and I thought support for Rust by Linus showed it was on the right track. Until I read that Rust also has operator overloading. Nice, enabling ambiguous functionality is just what we need in a language made to eliminate as much causes of bugs as possible.

LLMs feeding LLMs is literally making it all circling the drain.
I'm already suspicious of a lot of search results from duckduckgo because the domain names look like they're coming from a marketing thesaurus and often have the same layout. Soon only Wikipedia will end up as the only (read: most reliable) "search engine" because the regular ones can only present LLM slop.
The whole of internet will be one large automated self-replicating sea of repeated nonsense with nary a real person to be found and we'll return to exchanging factual information by swapping CDs/DVDs/USB sticks via sneakernet. Read-only media of course so the local LLM instances can't change the data on them. How's that for cyberpunk becoming reality?

I think I'll keep my Encyclopedia Brittanica and programming books on my shelf for much longer.

Hate to tell you this, but Trump is a symptom of what the USA has been for a long time. He or the GOP won't change the country, the country created these people.
Always go to the source.

I am in the 93th percental IQ-wise but still ended up with shit because of my rare psychological profile which doeasn't mix well with the regular world.
Am I intelligent? Definitely. Am I smart? Depends. If I had not been constantly busy with work and hobby from a young age and instead had learned about what makes me tick earlier in life, it's very likely my llife would be different now.

I can't predict how long I will live, and in fact brushed with death over a year ago unexpectedly when I've always felt healthy up to that point (and even still afterwards). I don't see this test as an indicator of anything but statistics noise. Not even good or bad luck.

You mean C, don't you?

I mix it up by having a few windows open with (related) often used (more than once per day) pages available in tabs (which auto-unload with Suspender on Pale Moon) and less used (once per day to monthly or longer) but useful pages as bookmarks.

This way I found a balance for ease of access and clutter limitation.

I don't have to think much about it since Pale Moon doesn't muck about with the UI each time, but with the Tab Mix Plus extention one can do with tabs whatever.

There once was a time when I understood why someone wanted Apple. They're looking to become more ike a Microsoft in designer outfit now.
Major plot twist.

I left IT nine years ago but had already lost interest years before that with rampant idiocy overwhelming simple logic. Every competent IT-er I knew also agreed there was no fun to be found in the business any longer.

At least I'm glad I still had years of fun discovery in the field, something I doubt generations from now on will experience.
