It didn't even email someone eating a sandwich in the park. So not that impressive.

As someone who laps in a pool with fish in it occasionally. It could be true. (google Sydney ocean pools to see what I'm talking about)

vim tweakers are a small minority of users surely. I might fiddle with my config once per year.

I don't even know what percentage of people here are even real. I don't like any of this any more.

why not both. limit yourself to 1 tutorial/book (i prefer books). then build something. For any creative hobby i think the biggest issue is not having something you want to build.

They already know everything about you. They are already tracking you.

In my case it that I'm tired and more likely to miss issues or mistakes. My idea of good enough is at a much lower level when it's 10pm and I'm about to knock off and go to bed in an hour.

I feel like I'm loosing my mind with the way people are falling for the marketing with every iteration. Is it better, sure but it's still just a LLM.

Euro buildings are built to keep heat in. Aus buildings are leaky tents.

My backlog of pre 2020 fiction that I want to read is huge, so I don't have to worry about it. Non-fiction is a pain. I mostly by these for my kid (Things like dinosaur encyclopedias etc), so I stick to university press, but I have no idea if it's getting through there but I wouldn't be surprised.

Can you share one when you get home? I'm interested to see some examples.

Hell, there is a lot of really good open source software that fits most peoples needs already, that can be self hosted and costs nothing but the running of it. But people still pay for the SaaS product. Because you're not just paying for software. you're paying for support, uptime, compliance etc. These people think that SaaS is dead confuse me.

Most of the skeptics exist because of the grandiose claims made by the AI companies saying pure hype marketing bs. If this was just a tool, discussed at the scope of what the tools can actually produce and do, there would be sensible discourse about it.

just don't care about the output. Produce more. Don't check the results.

I can think of so many reasons but the biggest I think is the reduction of community. - When I was a kid mums worked part time or not at all. We had school fates and lots more community gatherings. - Dads didn't work as hard. Half of them would be at your soccer practice at 6pm to hang out - Parents were on local sports teams together or other social groups as well - You did most of your shopping at the local shops, you knew the people that lived in the suburb. You ran into them picking up the newspaper or at the local video rental place. - My mum always joked that I couldn't get away with anything because someone would see me and it would get back to her some how. - There were some wierdos around sure. But the whole suburb was on the look out for the kids roaming around Then there were other things like just that cars were smaller. A kid on a pushie would be as high or higher than a person driving around in small sedan. I don't think I would let my kid play on the same street I spent 90% of my time riding my bike or playing with the other kids in the street these days. They'd end up underneath a giant landcruiser or ford ranger/hilux in no time (and they are smaller that the larger trucks that are in the USA which are scary big) I know some nordic countries are still a bit like this. But I'm talking about a car centric Sydney (Australia) suburb in the late 80s early 90s
