This is so strange I tried it on Gemini Flash: "Yes, but significantly less than before." When you read beyond the first word it explains where LLMs might fail and why.

I’ve been on the fence about the P20 for a while. Some people report getting janky units. BenQ has a 3:2 monitor with 3840x2560 resolution, 120Hz refresh.

I had this same schedule at a mediocre school in small town USA in the 80s. The AP science course started at 7:30am to give us time for lab work (e.g. dissection in biology). After school activities continued until 4:30, longer if it’s an away game. Homework, part-time job, one off events. It didn’t feel overwhelming at the time, but kids today are soft.

I bought a fully renovated house as my first house. Unfortunately the builder was a moron. I spent 10 years with near constant repairs. Every house on my block has the same story: different builders, same shoddy quality. I was lucky to find a buyer that paid the asking price. I’m now happily renting again. I’ve always had great luck with rentals fixing things immediately.

I have Codex and Gemini critique the plan and generate their plans. Then I have Claude review the other plans and add their good ideas. It frequently improves the plan. I then do my careful review.

It’s the same as buying a house. I want to buy a house for $1.2m. I put down $200k and borrow $1m. The bank determines the value of the house. My equity absorbs a 20% drop in prices, so the bank is fairly protected. Businesses are different because they really can go to $0. Banks will need more collateral and/or make many different types of loans to dilute the risk.

Yep, once you accept “might makes right” the laws in a democracy become polite suggestions. Oh, your town is in the way of hydropower? Too bad the gov’t has more guns than you. That’s how you get the Three Gorges Dam in China. Nevertheless, the Trump Mafia is demonstrating how paper thin democracy and rule of law really is in the US.

The true cost of labor is paid for by taxes. The bottom 50% in the US pay little to negative taxes due to government benefits. Most taxes are paid by the rich. Therefore, the true cost of labor is paid for by the rich, rather than by consumers in the form of higher prices.

Since 2014 most bits of central London have seen 10-30% increase, which is below inflation and far, far below stock returns. This should persuade my wife not to buy here. Thanks!

This resonates with me. I have a hobby where I transform classic books into hand-written papyrus as the author intended. There is something almost meditative in unspooling a 10kg scroll where the sometimes illegible ink allows me to wonder what that sentence even was.

I don’t know. But at least you’ve identified the real problem: lazy people generating trash code. AI isn’t bad, people are.

Enough that stacked PRs are a thing. At my job people sometimes build large features on a branch for 6 months. Then it’s a massive PR and no one can review it.

Hi, AI apologist here. This scenario is a problem with or without AI. You can’t drop a 13k line PR you don’t understand without prior discussion. There are many ways to use AI. Your scenario (keynote speech) is a bad way to use it. Instead, a PR where you understand every line, whether you or an AI wrote it, should be fine. It would be indistinguishable from human generated code.

AI is a tool like any other. I hire a carpenter who knows how to build furniture. Whether he uses a Japanese pullsaw or a CNC machine is irrelevant to me.

I used ET but it requires a server process also. Some machines are too locked down to allow this. Wish there was a way to kick start the server on demand.
