Making this determination alone will sink you in legal fees
Does an insane amount of fine print really save you? Even if you say the model is only an aide to be used by licensed or certified professional arborists or whatever, I fear some Joe blow whose tree lands on his house will be suing you.
I often find myself saying please and thank you, but the inability of the LLM to pick up tone can be amusing.
After one of the trashed my app in Cursor, and I pounded on my keyboard "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!!!" and the model, ignoring my rage and frustration, responded with a list of 4 bullet points explaining why in fact it did make those changes.
It’s really simple. Don't lie or cheat and don’t abide those who do.
As a software development manager, I find the most important quality I need in my direct reports is honesty. If you are not honest with me it makes it very difficult to do my job.
That some developers have been conditioned to dishonesty is a shame on our industry.
People who lie and cheat often justify themselves by asserting that everyone does. It’s easier than admitting you’re a liar and a cheat and changing your ways.
The impotence of Congress is astonishing. Constitutionally the tariff power is exclusive to Congress, and Trump is exercising it only through emergency powers. Congress could end this easily had they a mind to. Presumably someone could make a challenge to the Supreme Court, but IANAL so it's not clear who has the standing to sue.
As a former Republican, and a Reagan conservative the utter cowardice and corruption of the Republican party nauseates me. No principles, no ethics.
It's a low effort way to make you consider all the necessary steps and possible contingencies for delivering the work. Creating the DB, onboarding to the API, etc., etc.
It is not interactive because the professor has demonstrated mastery of the subject matter and thoughts, ideas and suggestions of the students are an order of magnitude less of less value than that of the professors.
Some subjects are conducive to the Socratic method but hard sciences and mathematics for instance are not. Ultimately you are trying to speedrun 500 years or so of discovery and research and while motivating problems often help, sometimes you just need to read the book, listen to the lectures and put in some effort.
It's much easier to learn if you can ask questions and try (and fail) to make your own connections, and this has nothing to do with whether or not your own ideas and suggestions have any merit of their own.
I don't engage in class to show off or try to contribute, but because it's an incredibly valuable part of the learning process for me.
Questions are fine, unless they end up being a substitute for not preparing for class.
As a professor I had once put it, "This is difficult material. I don't expect you to understand it from just one lecture. You need to read the material before the lecture, but it will only be after you've struggled with the problem sets that I would expect you to understand it."
A class that is not interactive then doesn't have to be a class. It could be a book or a set of slides with an audio narration and that'd have the same result.
Teachers that can only read their notes and write stuff on a board without ever interacting are of the most useless kind. They're completely replaceable by course material.
And disgorge your profits, pay a fine, go to jail and agree never to work in the securities industry ever again.
