Still, it's local, and I can't wait to see what it can do now that I know it exists.

Humans should focus on coming up with conjectures and new problems to solve. I don't see LLMs doing that.
I have found a different method of using an AI when I'm making a hobby project. I have convinced it to only give me enough information about a topic such that I can have a chance at intuiting the rest. When I get stuck,…
I'm still in the "tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment" camp. If you adhere to it, it makes your code look nice on any tab size.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I can't do anything else if I'm listening to a podcast or an audio book, I lose the thread. So I end up just sitting there listening. I'd much rather read the book in whatever form because…
People are, in fact, animals.
You do give them something. All the data they can collect on you that might make them even a few pennies somewhere.
There really is an xkcd for everything.
I think everyone is missing the "...that nobody has thought of" part. You can have it switch known abstractions, but can it come up with one on it's own that doesn't exist in it's training data?
I always tend to think of the phrase "comfort kills" when I hear this kind of thing. The journey is at least as important as the end result. Have you ever soured on a video game because you downloaded a "god mode" cheat?
Do they even have the equivalent of a game loop? I'll bump them up a notch when ChatGPT texts me, wanting to continue the conversation we were having yesterday.
What helped my RSI was learning a new computer layout (dvorak in my case). It went away and has stayed gone for 25-ish years. Keeping bikeyboardal between qwerty and dvorak probably helps.
I've been programming for fun for decades, at work and at home. I have no desire to have someone or something else write my code for me. However, I've managed to convince ChatGPT that I like to be mentored in a way that…

I'm on Book Seven of DCC. Very fun. Looking forward to reading Book Eight.
I don't use VS Code, but when I look at the before and after in the video I can hardly tell the difference. I think the "border radius" problem is overwhelmed by the "too much crap on the screen" problem for me to…
My phone is in my pocket all the time basically, along with my keys and my wallet. I use it to respond to text messages from friends and family, read books on the Kindle app, check the weather report, and occasionally…

People making passion projects for free don't owe anyone a business model.
I've been taking a "help me help myself" approach to interactions with LLMs. I might run my plan on how I'm going to build something past an AI asking it to critique it. I then incorporate that info into my original…
The people who were doing this on the early internet were not trying to make a living off of it, they were just doing it because they enjoyed it and wanted to share what they built with the world. If you could cover…
I wasn't sure which of the parameters was causing it. Looks like ad blocking is the one, then.
I'm not saying this is the way to go, but damn do I miss the old internet where passionate people presented information for free, at worst showing an affiliate link for an information-related book.
