I’m sure Crazy Taxi provides the same benefits! :)

But you could just be one of thousands of bots targeting the same sources you’re scraping.

I agree with everything you said. I’m simply playing devil’s advocate, because engineers can believe one thing, but until employers believe it, it doesn’t matter much. I’m also not convinced that the…

Again, unless you’re the employer, then you’re getting paid by someone that cares more about productivity than whether you think LLMs produce incorrect code. All that matters is whether they agree wit…

> Cooking a steak and then flushing it straight down the toilet outperforms all the slow and tedious business of eating and digesting it, too. That would be more equivalent to writing the code an…
comment
> Well there’s a lot of middle ground between “don’t use AI” and “generate everything.” Sure, but again, this assumes both that handwriting code sometimes outperforms LLMs, and also that your…

> But a big yes for still typing code by hand, and not leaving it to the llm. Except it has to be the code generated by your brain. > That is what will create new neurons and new connections,…

At some point, household robots — once they become mainstream — can do things around the home that you depend on, and if/when they break down, prevent you from being able to work/get to work…

Vehicles, when first invented, were 100% a luxury, not a necessity. They only became a “necessity” once they went mainstream and the world started evolving with vehicles becoming a part of everyday li…

Unrealistic physics. I had a ball last more than 10 seconds.

> I clean my solar panels, 7kwh, every monmth or two. This honestly sounds like a non-trivial strike against installing solar panels, especially if they’re installed on tall roofs. I definitely wou…

1. I feel like “trial and error” is often not a great way to solve puzzles. If you can brute force your way to a solution, that’s usually a sign of poor puzzle design. To be clear, I’m not saying whet…
comment
Rather than counting mistakes, just allow mistakes, and just not let the puzzle get solved until it’s complete without mistakes. This is how most of Simon Tatham’s puzzles work, and that works well.
comment
Not to mention, even “googol” is a word almost no one uses (unlike “apple” and “Amazon”).

Because they always yell the brand names. Like they do in commercials.

It appears this study does not conclude whether abstainers should pick up caffeine. Under "Conclusions and Research Needs": > Last, in terms of applications of the potential beneficial…

Side note: I miss SSX. Such a great franchise, and sad that EA Big shut down (and that no one else picked it up). Tricky was probably my favorite, but they were all great.

There are two individuals being sued, but many more received letters. Parent is being downvoted likely because their statement implies the “dozens” receiving letters are individually being sued, but t…

Is this unique to the M-series? My 2015 MBP has this exact same issue.

Could you imagine someone walking around with their phone pointed wherever they look, recording the whole time, as they casually walk down the street, sit at a cafe, or engage in a conversation with y…

> Baith was right. My wife missed that word, and it said the correct word was “habit”. I also did “baith” (for the same reason as OP), and ended up making it to 16, but I feel like I shouldn’t have…

I’ve had two S5s die on me recently. They kept shutting down in the middle of a clean, and from what I read, it needed a battery replacement. Ordered one off Ali Express, and after another couple mont…
