No. You are not meant to play this CD. It's a collector's item. That's why it doesn't matter if it works in most CD players.

What an absolute nonsense comparison.

I just don't understand what this company has against 'passengers', seeing as they launch new ones into space all the time.

I use ChatGPT, but mostly just talk to it. I discuss matters with it and basically use it as a 24/7 tutor. I find it very helpful. Using it for code generation has been so-so, however. It is so agreeable that when you communicate your own misunderstandings to it regarding certain constructs, it will hallucinate a universe where that misunderstanding is true, and derive the rest from it. Not all programs it generates work, and most don't fit my very opinionated code style. I still prefer to write my own code completely from scratch, and don't even use LLMs for drafts or boilerplate. I think it's about mindset. You have to treat it like a very knowledgeable, easy-to-work with co-worker, who may be wrong sometimes.

How on earth did this garbage comment get modded +5?

The knowledge that I will get sick and die early does not at all add to the stress I already feel from frequently losing sleep as a result of the high noise levels in my current apartment.

So can humans.

The alternative seems to be a completely controlled social environment, hermetically sealed from anything considered "problematic". It's a form of social cleanliness OCD that I'd rather avoid.

No. I was making a sarcastic joke about luddites.

Stop! According to Slashdot dogma, LLMs are no more impressive than chatbots from the 1990s. They only "predict the next token" and thus cannot possibly constitute a major technological leap. If you're impressed by this technology, you must be wrong.

Unnecessary. It's Windows. The sound of someone vomiting is never far away.

You also fail to bring certain subtle business requirements with you, that have organically developed over time, while also reintroducing many bugs that were fixed years ago.

For me, touch typing is more about ergonomics than it is about speed. My shoulders and arms feel much more relaxed now than before I learned it.

Exactly. You have to actively force yourself to use the correct fingers for the correct keys, and also use the left and right Shift/Ctrl keys in the correct circumstances, etc. Nothing of this comes natural. It's very rewarding, however, and I recommend everyone to learn it.

Sure. However, the $5 wrench doesn't even have to be used to be effective. Its mere existence can function as a deterrent against the entire use of strong encryption.
