My comment was, of course, tongue-in-cheek. I'm trying to work out if your own commment was satirical, replying in that prompt's form -- if it was, then kudos. If not: > It doesn't change that your interaction with it…

Surely there is no universe in which Emacs hits the definition of a minimal anything?
The EC (embedded controller) controls the hard power off on a modern laptop, not the OS at all. That's why you can still power down in the event of a device lockup (thankfully).
Well, when you name your company "Anthropic", what do you expect? I remain surprised that this continues to get a free pass.
Quoting Wikipedia: > The word is from the Latin flos (flower) and legere (to gather): literally a gathering of flowers, or collection of fine extracts from the body of a larger work. There's obviously the scholarly…
Why would AI-generated explain LaTeX? Pretty sure most people still use LaTeX around here. (I'd never heard of Typst until your post, personally. But I'd guess it would be easy to port over to that platform with an LLM…
You are not the only one. I think it's a very vocal minority, who mostly, sadly, seem to equate obsequious flattery with consciousness and sentience (see, e.g. Richard Dawkins). There's also the problem that to lay…
Add it to your system or developer prompt, and it still can be. Given the amount of angst being expressed in this thread about particular LLM-isms, I wonder why people don't simply prompt against the traits they hate.…
Technically, in latex (and what other format is there?) an en-dash is `--` and an em-dash is `---`. So that was just an em-dash. A `-` is a hyphen. Us oldies learnt to type these with multiple dashes automatically, as…
> This presumes an LLM has something to say. The reason the text doesnt make much sense, is because it doesnt. It isnt "on topic" because it has no topic to be on. Sentences go on, are joined irrelevantly, and so on…
The models don't know or need permission to make up references. References are just complicated things to predict in terms of next tokens -- Author names are found in many references, with many journals. Most…
Perl was my first love as a language, and I don't recall any hostility towards Perl users. On the contrary, the environment in the early 2000s was very supportive. Perl likely declined because Perl6 did a Duke Nukem…
Ideally, Google would have run with: Argon > Neon > Helium That would have been the noble thing to do.
Technically not true any more (for some versions of copilot chat, at least) -- my workplace's version has a "GPT 5.6 Sol" selector with "Answer faster" or "Think Deeper". ("Think deeper" appears to represent the lowest…
> The terminal ecosystem needs to change What is your justification for this statement? Why does it need to change, and what does it need to change to? Personally, I've not felt this (and I spend a lot of time in the…
Taking a quick look at the article, I cannot see that they rule out either correlation or (even more likely, I suspect) reverse causation? That is, that depression leads to circadian disruption. That would hardly seem…
To be fair, Denmark is very flat and could probably be represented by a single block :) Anyway, if "LLM puffery" makes this easier, why is that bad? And given that your quote indicates that the Danish equivalent got…
I wasn't trying to imply that, simply noting that there was a surprising amount of literary chatter about Musk, at high levels compared to commonly cited physicists. It's not the most useful comparison. It could easily…
Not at all. There was direct continuity here -- the Romans remained Romans in their eyes and never stopped. Indeed, the capital of the Empire never changed between 324 (well within what you'd call the Roman Empire) and…
The Romans in the 1400s still called themselves Romans and saw themselves as Romans (in Greek: Rhomaioi). They never stopped. So, no, it's not at all like calling the Iraq war a British Empire endeavour. It was our own…
Working great on desktop, and seems accurate for major battles at least. I'm impressed, personally, and I'd be happy to see a lot more use of AI for these types of educational tools. My only frustration is that AI use…
It's not limited to textbooks or academic publications, or based on any context whatsoever, but an ngram search actually suggests there's a much larger musk stain on recent published literature than I'd ever thought…
Ah, that's sad. I miss the speed and intuitive UI/UX of the old Picasa. No image viewer has ever been able to handle massive photo libraries as well for me :(
