High level - having a discussion with the LLM about different approaches and the tradeoffs between each

Low level - I'll write up the structure of what I want in the form of a set functions with defined inputs and outputs but without the implementation detail. If I care about any specifics with the functions I'll throw some comments in there. And sometimes I'll define the data structures in advance as well.

Once all this is set up it often spits out something that compiles and works first try. And all the context is established so iteration from that point becomes easier.

Don't sleep on daycare. It's good for the Childs social development. And a good daycare centre will follow modern pedagogical practices. If and your partner both enjoy your jobs, you'll appreciate not having to compromise your careers. And the break during the day is welcome, believe me.

He's said in his interview on the Lex Fridman podcast, that he wants to get AI in front of people as fast as possible to give us the longest amount of time possible to start to adapt to it.

I think he wants to scare people a little in a somewhat controlled way to onramp us to this new reality as fast as possible.

50ms works for network games when the input update loop is done locally, and with lots of fancy techniques to correct for the network lag.

50ms of input lag on the other hand is very easily noticeable. And makes games unplayable for lots of people.

There’s no button. They put the cover with the label over the top of the existing button.

BTW, there's a built in accessibility feature in iOS called background sounds. It does rain and various noise types. And it can be added to the lock screen.

Bit of a wild comparison. It's more like the online equivalent of someone getting kicked out of Legoland for swearing around the children.

It’s actually even worse than that I think. If something takes over a certain amount of time, then I’m more likely to go do something else while I wait, like check Hackernews. And there goes 20 minutes.
