<p>Maybe this applies more towards adults, but I don't think the correct answer for kids is only "just have self-control," something kids are notorious for not having. Certainly there's a lot of parental responsibility here but we can simultaneously hold companies responsible for their part too.</p>

<p>Same here. I quickly learned that if you merely ask questions about it's understanding or plans, it starts looking for alternatives because my questioning is interpreted as rejection or criticism, rather than just taking the question at face value. So I often (not always) have to caveat questions like that too. It's really been like that since before Claude Code or Codex even rolled around.<p>It's just strange because that's a very human behavior and although this learns from humans, it isn't, so it would be nice if it just acted more robotic in this sense.</p>

<p>> Yes I can. I even provided an example for exactly that: `[4]any` can hold references to any type.<p>And now you've lost type checking. `(&'static str, bool, u64, f64)` is not the same as `[4]any`.<p>> A lot of things are useful, doesn't mean they are used for that useful case most of the time.<p>I'm sure you have vast insights into what most people do most of the time.<p>> Go has wrapped and typed errors, covering exactly that.<p>Sure, "Go has X because it gives you the tools to reimplement it yourself another way" is true of most anything you can think of.</p>

<p>I've only written a handful of production projects in Go so my experience isn't very deep, but I find the syntax to be the ugliest of any PL. The mixed capitalizing based on function privacy, to me, is awful (among other things, i.e. personally I loathe curly brace initialization/definition). I'm sure you get used to it? It doesn't help that it just feels very hacked together, from the wonky generics, the lack of useful types like tuples and enums, the bolted on module system, to the annoying error handling, to say the least.<p>That said, compile times are great, the concurrency is dead simple, it's performant, and it's still easy to be really productive in it so it's not like I'd never consider it. Many other languages have many of the same issues, anyway.</p>

<p>Zed is the only editor I've been using for maybe two months or so. But I find the extensions still sorely lacking and the API not extensive enough yet either. Still, I really love the design as well as how AI was builtin, and some more of the niche differences.</p>

<p>My grandpa (father's father) grew up in Rochester and that was the first time I visited New York for a family reunion, way back in the early aughts. Kodak was the major employer in town then; he and practically everyone he knew either worked there, had dealings with them in some form, or knew many others who did. When we went, I had the pleasure of touring the place and hearing plenty of stories from my gramps and our family. Good times.</p>

<p>This was envisioned by the movie Interstellar where the opening scene shows them chasing an old autonomous Indian Air Force drone that had been flying for years, ostensibly after that agency ceased to exist. I'm sure it's been in other media as well but that's what comes to mind here.<p>Anyway, it should be interesting to see where this goes in the future.</p>

<p>Whoa, you and the other commenter are the only ones I've ever met who even remotely relate to this though (I've never bothered searching it out on the net). That's actually kind of a relief. For me it also coincided with just higher anxiety in general so I'm not really sure which came first.</p>

<p>Only sort of related, but I'm almost completely unable to smoke anymore. I used to smoke heavily in my early 20s (33 now). Now if I take more than one hit of anything, I'm liable to have an anxiety/panic attack. I can hardly move and I get these awful chills. The way it's consumed hardly matters; even with edibles, I can only have 1-2mg. I've ceased entirely and I don't regret it at all.<p>I'm sure there are at least a couple of other causes (genetics, early life diet), but I think it did worsen some hormonal imbalance issues I've had too.</p>
