As far as I understand it, the problem isn’t that teachers are shit. Giving more money would bring in better teachers, but I don’t know that they’d be able to overcome the other obstacles

Ah sorry, my comment didn’t cover the 7 people that want to do software development on their iPhone.

Nothing, it’s never anything real and just some fantasy of what they could have if someone else put in an incredible amount of work to achieve something nebulous they got the impression of from a sci-fi book.

They want a cyber deck, except good and useful and apple hardware.

I often find myself wondering why these people aren’t happily using some Android rom and are instead using an iPhone.

It might actually help output answer with less nonsense.

As an example in some workflow I ask chatgpt to figure out if the user is referring to a specific location and output a country in json like { country }

It has some error rate at this task. Asking it for a rationale improves this error rate to almost none. { rationale, country }. However reordering the keys like { country, rationale } does not. You get the wrong country and a rationale that justifies the correct one that was not given.

I’ve had a prescription twice and it was 50,000IU of D2 once weekly. Usually the OTC one people buy is D3.

We’re increasingly switching to an “Uber for therapy” model with services like Better Help and a plethora of others.

I’ve seen about 10 therapists over the years, one was good, but she wasn’t from an app. And I’m one of the few who was motivated enough and financially able to pursue it.

I once had a therapist who was clearly drunk. Did not do a second appointment with that one.

This doesn’t mean ChatGPT is the answer. But the answer is very clearly not what we have or where we’re trending now.

Why is it one or the other? They have enough money to do both.

All the other zippers will still exist. Clothes without zippers will still exist. Roughly nobody does this anyway.

So you just delay getting your old ass rejected until they interact with you instead of some uuid?
