I see. Can you name any of the dark money orgs funding right wing influencers? If we're going to be pointing fingers, let's get them all out in the open so everyone can be more aware.

Problem is there are bigger idiots who will still buy the car. Look at BMW and their subscription seat heaters. BMW is smart enough to not charge a sub for the turn signals tho.

They've been talking to the 'water is wet' researchers

tl; dr;

The appeal of the Model M was not the look, it was the feel. Not even the sound, while captivating to many, isn't what most of us like. It's that sturdy, stable, consistent, predictable, tactile response of the keys. I have yet to feel a mechanical keyboard produced in the last decade that marries all of those qualities even a fraction as well.

Such a brave way to advertise your ignorance, bravo.

Okay only a single data point, but here's a scenario that I can't imagine is unique.

I hired a junior full stack developer with a small portfolio of simple work. Started out with matching skill tasks, and grew over many months in complexity. As the complexity grew, the work output became slower and messy to be polite. We're not talking about jumping from 'edit this html' to 'design and build this ERP' but think standard stuff - build the api and the front end for a 10 view app. Eventually a brick wall was hit and there was frustration on both sides. I decided to sever the relationship.

In doing a more thorough review, I started noticing some common syntactical choices. Ones that got me curious enough to wonder why the developer would have reused some specific variable names, for instance. So I decided to call a hunch and sure enough, asking ChatGPT to build various things would spit out nearly verbatim code as what I was seeing in the commits. It was clear why there was a brick wall - the code given by AI was nearly always based on an example you would find on the developer's site, usually out of date and written against an older release. If you don't really know what you're doing and relying on an LLM to build things, you're in trouble. So in this instance, the focus was on reiterating with the AI versus taking its output as a shortcut to learning the platform.

So AI is fine, and I use it myself, but at this stage it's just a fancy search engine that can rewrite things. It's great for say translating a class between languages, or giving it a big chunk of JSON and asking it to build a model around it, or giving you a (broken) example of how you might accomplish some task in a language you're not completely expert in, but you can't accept its output as complete and ready to build.

Recipe for success?

1. 1. Make college very expensive
2. 2. Teach very little, build no usable experience
3. 3. Make every graduate believe they're worth six figures out of the gate

I've had significantly better luck hiring people who want to learn on their own, and providing them everything I can to help.

The iPhone is great. The Mac is great. The thing in the middle, which is very much a blending of the two, isn't quite as great.

Posting that won't flip the script. Lefties have to own this recent explosion of racism, especially the worst kind where white liberals offer their "help" for "those people" who can't do basic things themselves like get an ID card, use the internet, or like this article says earn good grades. I mean seriously, how demeaning can you be. It isn't help, it isn't appropriate, it doesn't elevate you above anyone trying to think you're a good person for doing it, and it is absofuckinglutely racist as shit.

Do you know what's in the garage at home? In the school I went to, the teachers drove their winter beater year round because of the vandalism. While they weren't hiding Maybachs and Bentleys, they did have nicer cars than what sat in the school parking lot.

Another day, another panic inducing story the authors hope goes viral so they can capitalize on unfounded nonsense "science." Bring on the grant money.

Tell me if I'm close. When asked to concisely offer information, you're robbing the LLM from faithfully spewing your preferred rhetoric.

For fucks sake, grow up.

I function best with an average of 5-6 hours of sleep per night. Doesn't mean I'm one of those crazy people who crack their eyes open and leap out of bed to greet the morning. There's some kinda science that makes bedsheets softer when you wake up than when you go to bed, and it's nice to just lay there a bit and enjoy it. If I actually sleep in and get 8 hours, I'm yawning all day. If I sleep 4 hours I'll be good for a week, but then need 6-7 hours on the weekend to "catch up". If I drink alcohol before bed, I will be fully awake after maybe 3 hours full of energy and there's no chance of going back to sleep. Caffeine is the opposite, I can drink a cup and go straight to sleep and conk out for the whole night.

Yeah, I'm weird

I mean, the dude's nickname was literally Sleepy Joe ... So, no.
