The people who cook for them, the people who clean for them, the ones who take care of their kids, the one who sell them stuff or serve them in restaurants...

Exactly, their issue was about a drop in visits to their documentation site where they promote their paid products. If they were making money from usage, their business could really thrive with LLMs recommending Tailwind by default

One of the important keys in learning is engagement. If you frustrate the student preventing them from progressing at their own rhythm they will disengage, losing interest in what you are teaching.

The reasoning option was good for this. It used to tell you the motivations of the LLM to say what it said: "the user is expressing concern about X topic, I have to address this with compassion..."

I usually ask it to challenge its last response when it acts too agreeable.

Is it because of chat memory? ChatGPT has never acted like that for me.

Legacy code, files with thousands of lines, lack of separation of concern... When I feed that to an LLM it says something like:

function bar() { // Add the rest of your code here }

And barely manages to grasp what's going on.

Um... no? Maybe that's true for English speakers (I'm not a native speaker, so I won't make assumptions), but thinking that Western society views it that way is a big stretch, especially with streaming sites. While some might admit to watching something on a pirate site, many people don't refer to it as piracy when they're using a streaming service.

The choice of an individual to skip an advertisement has minimal impact on the content creator or the platform. This person isn't accountable for the decisions of others regarding whether they watch the ad or not. Ultimately, their actions only affect themselves and do not influence anyone involved in the advertisement process.

Generally accepted by whom? There are many countries that only consider distribution illegal so I don't think it's generally accepted at all.

Many people used to go to the bathroom during commercial breaks while watching a movie on TV. Was that considered piracy? Was it immoral?

I would take that deal without even thinking about it. Heck, I would take it even if it was for only 100 years. Keeping the energy of a body in its twenties, not risking illnesses like Alzheimer's, dementia, a fragile body that can break at any time for the cost of working 8 hours a day (which we are already doing)? Tell me where to sign it.

I had a teacher who had specific rules for exams when we wrote SQL statements:

- For a question worth 2 points, if you use the word "DISTINCT" when it wasn't needed, you lose 0.5 points.

- If you don't use "DISTINCT" when it was necessary, you lose all 2 points.
