Can anyone measure in how Claude compares to copilot? Copilot feels like a fancy auto complete, but people seem to have good experiences with Claude, even in more complex settings.

As I also doubt there's a good reason to define intelligence in just a range from 0-100.

That's a good point. For more complex topics, the act of verifying correctness is also more complex. I think it's a fair tradeoff though. A more powerful tool also requires more work to use CORRECTLY. Now, whether people will actually put in due diligence is another matter.

This doesn't seem much different to me than how people should use wikipedia. It looks like it will be a useful tool to use, you just can't be careless.

That must be one of the more extreme examples. I'm probably being under compensated at the moment, but about half of recruiters reaching out are matching my salary.

You CAN'T close pandora's box, but you CAN make jokes about pandora's box.

Were they local to the area?

I'm just an engineer with no background in finance, but didn't a fair part of the 2008 collapse come about by trusted third party risk auditing that went bad? Rather than maintaining a centrality of trust at some level, it seems intuitive that if there is a public database with trust decentralized among all the participants, there is less of a chance for that trust to be abused.

People eat it.

For any python project bigger than trivial, I literally just build a docker image and run it from that.

I used to work in concrete construction, doing post tensioned and SOMD for elevated slab. Coring might be simpler for SOMD, but post tensioned has such a high density of cables that I don't think it would work.

You need to run plumbing through the floors to every unit. The floors are structural.

Might be useful for those living in poverty and don't have access to a PC?

That's like a nice coffee a day, everyday kind of value.

Yeah, it's not funny, it's hilarious.

But the idea is just too cool to die.

lol. It sounds like they hire smart people. But smart people =/= good engineers. Good engineers keep things as simple as they can.

This is an issue that makes me feel conflicted in the case where there are already a lot of people cheating. If there's already a lot of people cheating, it doesn't make practical sense not to cheat, you're really just putting yourself at a big unfair disadvantage, and making an inefficient use of energy that could be used else where. It's unethical to join in the cheating, but a situation like that feels like there's just a lot of arguments to cheat. I think making the best of that situation would be to participate in the cheating but also make the best effort to understand the material as opposed to leveraging cheating to min-max on effort-grade.

On the other hand, all the effort could pay off in an unexpected way down the line because all the cheaters pushed you to achieve more than you would have normally, plus the ethical implications.

Full disclosure, I did have a situation where cheating like that happened, and I did take it. It was for a pretty irrelevant course, and I don't feel bad at all about it. I also haven't made much use of the course material afterwards.

This was back when I was a student and had the FX and one GPUs. Getting an internship meant that I had the money for an upgrade, and the cheapest, most straightforward was to get a second GPU, or so I thought. Wasn't even that cheap because I had to put both the GPUs under water to keep them from overheating when both in the same PC.

For a bit of time, I ran an over clocked FX 8320 and crossfire 7970's. The heat that machine put out was tremendous. I only had a wall mounted AC unit so I had to practically take my shirt off when I loaded it up.

I think this project is nostalgia-bait, but it's a good example of what you can do with the framework mainboard.

I don't really see myself thumb typing with a cyberdeck though.

On the other hand, that means a mining rig is worth a car's pollutants? That's a lot.

You didn't even read what I wrote: "Regardless, I think it's important for people to trust their own judgement, and weigh anecdotal experiences and advice from regular people, with the understanding that all advice comes from a certain context."

That's not what you said at all.

What you have down is this: "so we're at a point in the Internet where random people feel confident enough to tell others to disregard professional medical advice in favor of their own "research""

Which is in response to a post saying that they disagree with another parent who says that none of these anecdotal experiences or advice given by other posters should be read.

Regardless, I think it's important for people to trust their own judgement, and weigh anecdotal experiences and advice from regular people, with the understanding that all advice comes from a certain context.

That being said, after the fact of having such a bad personal experience and afterwards seeing that actual academic literature shows such a big rift with what I was told by a licensed professional with many years of experience, I have to advocate, especially in the field of psychiatry, to make one's own best judgement, regardless of whether a doctor agrees or not, and only give them the authority of what they can logically provide as an argument for why you should follow a certain treatment.

Doctors aren't infallible, and most are probably not reading research papers. That's aside from the fact that psychiatric drugs aren't even that well understood by how they actually work. If you understand basic stats and read white papers on drug efficacy that are looking for correlations with your personal attributes, that's probably really useful info to know, and much more in depth research than your doctor will be doing for you.

That's not to even mention the disgusting influence that the drug industry has on psychiatry. My own doctor prescribed Cymbalta to me for mild anxiety and told me it was completely safe and effective, which it was not. Their (doctor's) basis for prescribing those meds was based on their own experience with a small sample of patients, and I imagine what the drug company told them/gave their own first party literature for. Had I actually looked into studies, I would have seen that the risk was nontrivial, there are bad actors motivated by greed, the mechanism of action is not known, and that there are doctors with limited time and effort per patient.

I don't have a Tesla, but the hardware side of things is probably not close to $10k, and probably already being used in a multipurpose fashion. What I'm saying is, aren't you paying the $10k to use the self-driving model?

Maybe he means TC? I know meta does or did pay that before the stock dip at least.

Barring the power source, you'll still have a beefy suspension and a bed in the back with a squashed looking frontend to keep the exterior dimensions reasonable on a truck.

I heard that Yakuza have business fronts that are open secrets. If that's the case, then they probably are.
