Everybody is saying their tax accountant messed up and the models caught it which makes me think, why aren't tax accountants doing the same thing lot of us are doing - ask LLM to do the prep and they just review and finalize?

Can't be good getting caught with mistakes and losing customers?

At this point, talking about more AI is probably more negative sentiment in the market instead of positive. GOOG was already down and got slapped even more post earnings numbers.

I play block blast classic mode with adguard and don't see any ads.

Isn't the onus of proving the violation is on the complaint? So now she has to fight two cases and one of them is against someone who wields lot of power in the other case? Not saying we shouldn't hold the prosecutors' feet to fire but there are practical considerations.

> It may not be your taste, but it certainly has taste, and its taste will only get better with more training. Yours, if you use it, will atrophy, as you reduce contact with the details of your problems.

I would argue that it has a collection of tastes and mixes and matches them with the same effect if you prepared a dish that is an amalgamation of recipes from ten different people. It is somewhat similar to what you want to make, it will fulfill your nutritional needs but boy does it not taste good. Our PR reviews and steering the agent is nothing but us adding different ingredients / herbs / spices until it is palatable.

Wonder if the law firms are saying the same thing about software. And everyone else is about things they use. Basically the entire job market. Will you still say it's great when it is the society as a whole?

The margin of error is razor thin. As tight as a global supply chain. I'm worried about your living on the edge like that.

Is there a similar book but in Java or Python?

Ahh, obviously. Seems the coffee isn't working for me anymore :(

> One printed IP/ICMP "ping" packet sent by carrier pigeon per RFC 1149.

Is that the entire packet shown in the picture frame? So the price is 1k+ USD for the frame? Because anyone can type that and get it printed/framed for considerably less. What am I missing?

> Team sunrise, or team “it’s 2am and I’m still up”? (close-ended)

Why so weirdly binary? Sleeping at 11pm and getting up well after sunrise is not an option anymore?

> What kind of traveler are you, really? (close-ended, with options like adventure junkie, culture seeker, and I don’t travel much)

Isn't this the type of question that should be open ended? How about being a dynamic kind of traveller? Happy to go if someone else is organizing the trip and happy to stay if I have to do it.

Such a typical Singaporean approach - even fun has to be funnelled into MCQs.

> I don't even try to use the first answer anymore but ask it again to check its previous answer against verified and authoritative sources/documentation and will come up with many corrections. And then I do it again, and maybe a fourth time.

Maybe all they need to show massive improvement is a for loop of four iterations with the loop body being "are you sure, check the docs?" and return the result at the end.

When I was trying to go upstream having used Pop!_OS for a while, I installed Kubuntu first and even though the install went through, the distro had problems getting to the desktop after post-install reboot. Even though my laptop is a Thinkpad which is supposed to be very well supported. I took this as a sign of things to come and shrugged off my hangover of rpm hell(!) and tried with Fedora+KDE instead. Best decision I made. I have been using it for a few months now and experience has been absolutely seamless and smooth sailing - highly recommended.

tldr; they passed the administration of power from the corrupt government officials to Tata power (part of the Tata conglomerate) and BSES (part of another conglomerate Reliance). They modernized the setup and closed loopholes and avenues of corruption and also made stealing of power by the corrupt sections of public difficult.

Most people I know working in banks etc are using Co-pilot. Not because it is any good, because it integrates with the entire MS ecosystem - management pushes it. I would suspect that is the main driver of MS's AI penetration numbers for desktop-level non-API usage.
