Seconded. Screens, for some reason, have an insane magical draw to kids. I remember being in the thrall of friends who got to play on the newest consoles, magazines, movies, while we got very limited exposure, very old consoles & limited time, and no tv. Given the effort I need today to stay off feeds, and how tired & spent I feel after, I can't imagine how much "giving kids what they want" would fry kids brains. I can't compare against smb who didn't get the same restriction as I did, but I definitely don't feel like our restrictions did any harm, likely the opposite.

you can just to

You don't even need a function.

In google meet you can ask anyone to "join audio" and if they approve, neither you nor them hear each other through the meeting, and you can listen to them talk next to you. But honestly a mildly noise reducing headset is enough.

It's not that hard to enable 2fa & force password manager usage. And it's not that hard to use it. In fact a pw manager alone is much more convenient than remembering passwords. The only people I know who "can't remember their passwords and are locked out" are people who don't use the pw manager and have dogs*it passwords with tiny variants they forget. They often need multiple attempts to log in anywhere. Yeah 2fa & pw manager is a tick more complicated but it's not like it take hours, it takes minutes per day. And you protect against stuff like this. No sympathy, sorry.

You're assuming they're hiding the numbers because they think they seem bad in the discussions about data centers using too much water. The cover up is likely motivated much differently, and I would bet that doesn't really care about people complaining about waiter usage.

For sure. Just like movies. Everything in moderation. But I won't buy 60 bucks AAA games, they're either a time sink, or a waste of money. Indie is enough. I uninstalled Factorio after having spent 90% of my free time on it for a few days.

For those that don't know what 'copy as regular file' means, it means the copy command opens any file as though it was a regular file. If you have a FIFO queue sitting around it will read the content of the FIFO queue - if nothing writes to it, the command will hang. If you do cp -r /dev/zero foo, it will write zeroes into foo until the disk is full. -R otoh will copy a fifo queue as a fifo queue.

You are comparing mature technology to something that's on the edge of human advancement. It's like comparing the first steam driver cars with a Tesla, and complaining that the steering wheel looks different, and suddenly you have to press a pedal with a foot rather than a lever. Things are still changing!

Beautifully put, better than I could have, why I don't touch games in general. They're amazing, but they make you feel like you're advancing, achieving, experiencing, when really you're not, you're barely doing anything than jumping into the future. But, as I understand you to mean as well, not everyone is like that, for some it feels to bring balance. In particular, if you're a coach, surely you have no shortage of human interaction, or being outside, doing sports, and networking. But it's not for me for sure.

Not sure how you missed that but models are fundamentally changing in features, scope, intelligence, pricing, communication style. Of course it changes every 3 months. Of course there is no product that lasts more than 3 months. We're in a race right now. It won't stop changing for a while.

Right, but the best restaurants are not most restaurants. The best high end events are not most events. Most events and restaurants could be improved a lot by AI already

I don't know much about therapy, but this article appears to be a good analysis of what current therapy is about, why it works, and why AI might not be able to replace it.

But some of the things mentioned, such as: your therapist gets moved by your story themselves, they are themselves imperfect, and in general you're talking to a human being you have to respect etc - these things, while they definitely do support current therapy in important ways, they are not a deliberate design choice of how therapy works. They are rather constraints that come about when you are using a human being as a therapist, made out of flesh. So, the last point the article makes - that therapy itself might mean something else in the future - is the real question, in my mind.

The current form of therapy has incredible strengths in part because it works with these human constraints. But AI based therapy might be able to fill a different gap, one that regular therapists cannot fill - on account of, for example, not being available 24/7, not having the capacity to read entire diaries or chat histories, or taking on different personas. Or, simply, being cheaper than a real therapist, which can benefit many even if the ultimate quality is worse.

It results in different behavior in the compiler. You don't have to check the return type of a function in which you call a function return never. Using a different symbol gives you a hint why the code works, if you used `Never` you'd have to KNOW it works differently.

Completely agree. I think there is a danger that we will loose important interactions because we don't need them, but there's also a chance that we skip unimportant ones and focus on important ones.

If being in a Waymo alone causes you to be more comfortable to chat with people on the phone, it can even have a positive effect, for example.

Your comment appears to imply that the fact that LLMs used prove2me makes their accomplishment in any way less powerful. But consider that we just witnessed an AI system generate an automated proof that was previously unthinkable within 11 days and 300k+ of money. What tools were used along the way is kind of irrelevant, would you not say?
