Just use blocking/non-blocking.

The issue with nitpicks: different reviewers have different definitions of what a "nit" is.

This is a delightful reverse turkey graph (each day before Thanksgiving, the turkey has increasing confidence).

I think you are ascribing too much into this. If he does not believe anything then there will be nothing to write about. It looks like he does not believe in _your_ ideals - that does not make it nihilism though.

Compiler is the more apt analogy to a mechanical loom.

An LLM is more like outsourcing to a consultancy. Results may vary.

What protection do people use when enabling an LLM to run `bash` on your machine ? Do you run it in a Docker container / LXC boundary ? `chroot` ?

I think you need to read the OP again. Not just the pictures at the end.

OP does not ban digital screens despite the title. They even play video games !

It's more the en-shittification of the Internet, and other media.

I will go one deeper. Are fields (quantum fields) even real, or just a model ?

I work from New Zealand, for a quite geographically distributed team. For our team, the solution is partly:

    1. "Write everything down" culture.
    2. Rotate the regular meetings. For example, a meeting around 1000 UTC for Europe / Asia folks on Monday. Repeat the same meeting at 2000 UTC for US / Asia folks.
    3. Write good notes for each meeting, so people who could not attend can review asynchronously.
2x meetings may not work for a truly distributed team where you have people all over the world. In which you will need to have 3x rotating meetings which becomes a bit harder to manage.

DST changes do happen every six months, or so. We mostly roll with it, and adjust the meeting times as necessary.

So AGI will invent fusion, but we need fusion for AGI. Chicken-egg :)
