My biggest issue with LLMs right now is that they're such spineless yes men. Even when you ask their opinion on if something is doable or should it be done in the first place, more often than not they just go "Absolutely!" and shit out a broken answer or an anti-pattern just to please you. Not always, but way too often. You need to frame your questions way too carefully to prevent this.

Maybe some of those character.ai models are sassy enough to have stronger opinions on code?

both if and may in a single title. that's so cool

Cool, found this gem with it.

Boom!

Maybe add a search/filter to the results. I had to browse through 4 whole pages to make sure your post is actually there!

HTML was a mistake. I think banning XML would make the world a better place.

so you don’t use websites?

How would I be here if I didn't?

How do you think the page was rendered?

with an old mistake of a language

they're just competing with the urban dictionary for relevance and rizz

The word for copper is a native uralic word and thus it's hypothesized that the uralic speakers unlocked the bronze age independently.

Native copper could be found pretty readily in prehistory

Why not? Everyone's using it on their steamdeck with no problems. Outdated attitude. If you're not technically competent you shouldn't use windows because it's harder to use than linux or mac.

"If you're not technically competent you shouldn't use windows because it's harder to use than linux or mac".

Harder but easier and less challenging. The distinction I would make is for users who are comfortable interpreting the command line and those who aren't. That comfort level is what should dictate the user's decision to opt for linux vs windows/mac.

(PS: IMO, mac power use often requires the CLI, but macOS has built-in some guardrails to prevent noob users from completely messing up the system. Linux has no such guardrails).

It's much easier to us the command line on unix-likes than on windows, but it's not really a necessity. I know linux users who say they never use the terminal because they don't want to, and they're doing just fine.

Have you guys even used linux in the recent years? Sure it's a bit janky sometimes but so is windows and only getting worse. You can get quite far with linux by using graphical package management apps only, and now with steam you can even install games as easily as on windows.

Linux is way easier and more intuitive to use even for a novice than windows. I don't get why people think windows is somehow easy to use.

The use of the command line stopped being mandatory years ago. Everything that an average user is likely to do can be done though the GUI, just like other OSes.

> users who are comfortable interpreting the command line

Why would you need to do that?

How is that relevant to someone switching to Linux desktop? Android is also Linux and also not relevant.

The German UBI experiment we're discussing didn't involve 'taxing workers to give to the poor' - it gave unconditional payments to people across economic backgrounds, most of whom continued working.

Your assertion about tax planning misses that proper UBI implementation would include tax reform to ensure the wealthy can't avoid contributing. If anything it demonstrates your clear understanding of whom would actually be taxed to achieve the funding for such social programs. The dragons.

More importantly, the data shows UBI recipients spent money locally on necessities and small businesses, not funneling it to large corporations. The 'indirect subsidy' theory contradicts spending patterns observed in UBI trials.

Well, all I can say that if I was a major shareholder of Volkswagen I'd be 100% in support of UBI and made sure everyone can afford a new car, not just a used one.

Yeah, almost like a rising tide lifts all ships. Almost like the wealth hoarding dragons are fundamentally anti social.

If only there was a metaphor to explain that. Maybe something about a mythical creature, hoarding piles of treasure.

It's a poor analogy. Dragons take the gold from the people and kept it from them so it can't be used.

The 200 billion that Bezos is assumed to be "worth" is currently in the hands of the people, being used by us. If we wanted to fix society instead of buying amazon shares we could do it today. Bezos hasn't "hoarded" it, we have it.

"To the dismay of Thorin, Smaug the horrible turned out to sit on a pile of paper that anyone could buy if they wanted to and all the gold was already in circulation in the town of Bree."

If the taxes are landing just on "the workers" then that sounds like a poorly designed tax system, not a problem with UBI. Replace UBI with anything (roads, defense, welfare) and it is the same problem.

I thought the whole point was to give it as cringy name as possible to discourage people from using AI and instead learn to program properly. It was called prompt engineering before but I suppose it didn't sound discouraging enough.
