> I can't help but feel that my "wisdom of age" might just be testosterone getting out of the way.

I was thinking the same recently, analyzing my life choices then and now. We can't do a double-blinds study with these things, but I believe you might be right.

I feel you but this kind of discourse only polarizes the already divided society. Mothers face a lot of difficulties, and fathers also do. Arguing whose fate is worse seems really unproductive, what makes sense is looking forward and working towards diminishing the effects of these disadvantages.

What you wrote above is just unfair.

Maybe, I'm not sure.

Realistically, you meet with one, two, three potential candidates and you realize it's not what you need and want. You could have them, it's just the disadvantages are too high.

Quotation needed.

> Sounds way less stressful than a high stakes job.

If it's by choice, then yes. Otherwise, it could be really bad.

When you get enormous power and almost zero accountability, it changes you in various ways. I have zero trust Vance is immune to that.

Interesting that is has ESP32 in there - looks like it's becoming the default choice whether or not wireless is involved.

There is an enormous amount of money invested in trying to prove the opposite, for this reason not only they will never admit it, they will actively negate AI was used. It happened before:

Well, this is something one might naively hope for, unfortunately it only works to a certain extent.

I believe the original statement is an oversimplification. What actually happens is that extreme situations, both positive and negative, can help you discover things about you that you didn't know before.

Apart from that, the problem with "who you really are" is that individual is more of a process than a static thing, so any such reification becomes invalid in the next instant.

People usually respond to this, "But he apologized". Well, of course he did. The question is: did he really change his attitude? Because from his actions we can infer not only he didn't, it became worse.

But they explicitly negate this:

> We haven’t configured, and don’t use IAP (Identity Aware Proxy) - I’ve used this before and yes that is Chrome only due to how it does device verification

> This isn’t because of “Context Aware Access” this is an enterprise only feature, and we’re on Google Workspace Business Plus

What you describe is practically the opposite of tokenmaxxing.

Sure, but the omniprevalence of LLMs just just crystallized these into clearly recognizable patterns. Just like cliches, but not being limited to simple phrases.

> I've been getting this weekly from colleagues. It's very much an epidemic right now! And the port number is indeed almost always a random number between 8000 and 8100.

Really? A bit hard to believe, unless you have many dumb colleagues.

It's a very heavy hammer. I used it in the way you describe and after double-checking noticed some crucial details were missed and certain facts were subtly misrepresented.

But I agree with you, especially in areas where they have a lot of training data, they can be very useful and save tons of time.
