I also think it's obvious your comparisons of parents limiting time of things like this in the 90s is not apples to apples.

Being the person to start a new trend (in your local bubble) is non-trivial and hard to explain to a child growing up around nearly all their peers having access.

Doubly so if it's something that (I think science supports this?) is far more addicting than it was in the past.

I'm not saying folks get a free pass but I'm not sure we had a global drug crisis that 90% of the population was participating in before which from your analogy is what's happening.

Thanks again for the alcohol comparison I'm going to phrase it like that in my head to hopefully get all of my brain on board with the seriousness of the topic for my kids :)

Thanks for the reply :)

(This is completely disregarding how practical such a ban would be)

Two years later when I got it fixed the new surgeon said there was nothing left of the old one on the MRI so it must have been torn 1.5-2+ years ago.

On the other hand, to be fair to doctors, I had a phase of looking into supplements and learned the hard lesson that you really need to dig into the research or find a very trusted source to have any idea of what's real because I definitely thought for a bit a few were useful that were definitely not :)

And also to be fair to doctors I have family members who are the "never wrong" types and are always talking about whatever doctor of the day is wrong about what they need.

My current opinion is using LLMs for this, in regards to it informing or misinforming, is no different than most other things. For some people this will be valuable and potentially dramatically help them, and for others it might serve to send them further down roads of misinformation / conspiracies.

I guess I ultimately think this is a good thing because people capable of informing themselves will be able to do so more effectively and, sadly, the other folks are (realistically) probably a lost cause but at the very least we need to do better educating our children in critical thinking and being ok with being wrong.

Agree with your take 100%.

I personally use a tiling window manager when I feel like it but also get how it's personal preference :)

I have very little context but it's interesting that, presumably, the lower profit industry was replaced with the higher profit one.

And on top of that the higher profit one is probably of less value to society.

The higher cost makes perfect sense to me but calculating an apples to apples comparison of health outcomes between potentially very different populations seems potentially very difficult? Again sorry it's probably a solved problem but figured I'd ask :)

Were there well studied negative health impacts from reading excessively during this very similar scenario?

I'm not a historian so I'm curious to see the parallels because right now it looks like we're talking about two completely different things.

We could assume that this time is different and people, well children and minors specifically, will learn to avoid the addiction rather than banning them like alcohol, cigarettes and gambling.

This time might be different. But it's probably not.

Not sure if this is true for other people but it's basically always a sign of something I end up wishing I hadn't wasted my time reading.

It isn't inherently bad by any means but it turns out it's a useful quality metric in my personal experience.

It's like one off scripts in a sense? I'm not doing complex formulas I just need to know how I can pull data into a sheet and then I'll bucketize or graph it myself.

Again probably because I'm not the most adept user but it has definitely been a positive use case for me.

I suspect my use case is pretty boilerplatey :)

Happy to be wrong and put my foot in my mouth though I've misunderstood folks before :)

As for leaving comments without blocking I do not mean it is always or even commonly toxic but that I've seen instances where it could be argued to be so or potentially unhelpful.

I think the misunderstanding might be when you or your team leave comments without blocking are you going to sign off after they are addressed or are you leaving them on a review you ultimately don't feel comfortable signing off on even if they're addressed?

How often does someone leave comments on a review they would never feel comfortable signing off on either way because they don't know the area? I think I'm in agreement with you - leaving comments without blocking and signing off after they're addressed or if someone else signs off and mine aren't addressed that's fine. I'd block the review if it was something I was that concerned with.

Someone just leaving comments and not signing off on reviews isn't helping unblock anyone and should put in more effort to be willing to sign off and move the work forward. If the most people in the org thought this way nothing would be committed and everyone would have 'non-blocking' comments to deal with.

Another way to look at this is in absence of another code reviewer, not signing off after commenting is equivalent to passively blocking the PR and can be a bit toxic depending on the circumstance.

I'm probably missing a scenario (maybe there's a bunch of people you know will review the code for instance) that this makes sense so happy to learn where/when specifically it makes sense :)
