Chat Jimmy runs ~300X faster than the ~50 tok/s you are used to. What could you do differently when you are able to generate code 3,000 - 30,000X as fast as you could code it yourself? What if it was all good quality code? What would you do differently if it were 100,000X faster? mtok/s? gtok/s?

You may not recognize the difference, but our brains haven't evolved (nature) much in the last couple decades or probably centuries. There's little to no chance we have truly adapted (nurture) to this 24/7 noise, even plants have problems with it: https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/plants-are-... -> https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S143917912...

Plants in the traffic noise treatment group were exposed to 16 h of road traffic noise each day for a total of 15 days, while the control group was kept under complete silence. Traffic noise exposure led to significant decrease in growth indices of both plant species.

Mazda stopped using touchscreens: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1121372_why-mazda-is-pur...

“Doing our research, when a driver would reach towards a touch-screen interface in any vehicle, they would unintentionally apply torque to the steering wheel, and the vehicle would drift out of its lane position,” said Matthew Valbuena, Mazda North America’s lead engineer for HMI and infotainment.

“And of course with a touchscreen you have to be looking at the screen while you’re touching...so for that reason we were comfortable removing the touch-screen functionality,” he added.

For literal-minded folks like us, the idea that key properties of what we consider cold hard objective reality is in fact just squishy agreement can be unsettling. Hell, half of us got into computers specifically to avoid hand-wavey subjectivism.

Objective reality begins to falter even before leaving computing. For example: values for binary ones and zeros are hand-wavey down in the hardware voltage level. People believe it is as simple as: 5V is one and 0V is zero. In reality, (5V TTL logic levels) voltages above 2.7V are high/one and below 0.8V are low/zero.

I don't mean to be snarky, but what's the purpose of apps like this?

1. Note organization via tags with a searchable database 2. Secure off-site backup 3. Device-to-device syncing

I'm sure there are more. I wish it wasn't written in Electron, but it wouldn't exist otherwise.

Meanwhile, if this program's servers go down tomorrow, tough luck.

It is open source, you can run the server yourself: https://github.com/standardnotes/syncing-server

Share code between client and server using WebAssembly[1]. The Twitch video player is written in C++ via WASM[2]. C# can be "full stack" with Blazor[3]. Rust can be "full stack" with Yew[4]. Similar support exists for other languages including Go[5] and even the TypeScript-syntax AssemblyScript[6].

You may discount the entirety of positives, but there are, in fact, positives. This does in no way minimize the severe cases, rather simply contends ASD is not always negative, which was your original concern.

I cannot agree with your perspective comparison. Vision many help someone learn piano more quickly at first, but is immaterial to their maximum ability as a pianist. A better comparison is early detection of the development of additional fingers or exceptionally large hands (example: Rachmaninoff), both of which directly and permanently affect a person's ability to play difficult piano pieces. This too would be a concerning eugenics issue.

How about a list of people who have/had it:

Cognifirm integrates with all the online systems that your employees work with, including 3rd party systems that are made available to you by the government and your business partners.

No emphasis needed.

Where's the details on this AI? You know what acts a lot like ultra high quality AI? Actual humans.

The first thing you linked to is the personal opinion of someone with what looks like a personal blog.

Anything you or I write here is effectively the same thing. ;) Equal valuation. This blog does cite the ADA and IAADP though.

You seem focused on the bureaucratic hoops and seem to think I want them enforced more strictly? I haven't mentioned that. Please evaluate only the words I use. You seem to be making a point about specifics I haven't raised.

The people acting unethically/immorally and abusing the system know who they are when they do it. It's why they are so defensive. Selfish people ruining good things, once again.

I understand there is a huge grey area on this subject. I specifically refer to the abusers (the only label I am applying intentionally.) I didn't mention people who are homeless. A much better explanation than I can give at this time: http://brightside-susan.blogspot.com/2011/05/people-behaving... A quote from the article:

"Each time an employee has an encounter with a fake service dog (and yes, they know when you're lying), this brings us tangibly closer to the implementation of laws, regulations, and policies that make it harder for me to live my life without being treated as a second-class citizen."

Apples to Oranges. This is not Work From Home. This is Work From Home during a Pandemic during Natural Disasters. WFHPND is a bit long for an acronym though.

Productivity may, actually, fall for younger employees at home, but data from this year is not valid for a calculation vs prior years.

Yes, it's one of the reasons Wayland was created. Screensavers didn't exist when X was designed. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTI5MQ

Right now with screensavers under X it's basically capturing the input and continually redrawing over the display. With Wayland, Kristian plans for the lock-screen to be part of the Wayland compositor. In having the compositor handle the screensaver role, it can ensure that no window can appear atop the screensaver surface, it can properly detect idling and grabs already, and has complete control over the screen. Unlike the X design, there wouldn't even need to be a screensaver "window" that's on top but the compositor could just keep painting a black screen. For those interested in a "fancy screensaver", a plug-in could be used or an out-of-process Wayland client for drawing whatever you desire.

I've done many multi-hour video calls switching between pairing and unrelated tasks with 1-2 co-workers on my primarily remote team. We talk both shop and not shop. It works well, plus any of us can exit the call to focus. I find it vastly more productive than an open-office.
