At this point we're all used to skimming through thousands of AI-generated sentences every working day and constantly thinking "this is likely to be 20% bullshit", it's hard to turn that off even if I try.

Worst thing is, some of these bullshit answers will be medical, some of them financial, it seems pretty certain people are being harmed.

It feels a lot like the 538 one, with lots of familiar contributors. The latest ep is a live show with Nate & Clare, might be to your taste.

The batteries are also not safe to replace, relative to items with replaceable batteries. There is a very low chance of me accidentally damaging my TV remote control while replacing the batteries.

None of the information you're responding to is false, and it's perhaps worth asking yourself why you're here defending Apple.

There's an easier argument that is simply "But Samsung!".

(Except DaVinci, which I couldn't get to do anything without freezing for minutes at a time this morning.)

I've just installed DaVinci and pointed it at my photos from this year and so far it's been frozen for 8 minutes, not initially confidence inspiring.

I do not expect other people to be as careful with this stuff as I am, and my perception of risk comes not only from the "hang on, wtf?" feeling when reading official docs but also from seeing what supposedly technical users are talking about actually doing on Reddit, here, etc.

Of course I use Claude Code, I'm not a Luddite (though they had a point), but I don't trust it and I don't think other people should either.

The companies selling us the service aren't saying "you should treat this LLM as a potentially hostile user on your machine and set up a new restricted account for it accordingly", they're just saying "download our app! connect it to all your stuff!" and we can't really blame ordinary users for doing that and getting into trouble.

My advice to people, which seems to work OK, is just to have the guitar out and ready to play wherever you're likely to be - maybe even in the way so it has to be moved sometimes - and just pick it up and play it as often as possible.

Waiting for the kettle to boil? Play the guitar. TV is showing ads? Mute it and play the guitar. Your partner needs to go to the bathroom before you both go out? Play the guitar.

It doesn't matter what you play, it doesn't have to be good, it can be a random improvisation, it can be scales. Your fingers are learning.

I don't find editing takes much time, because I now have so many custom presets I can apply on import or in bulk that do 90% of the work.

What does take ages is picking out the best shots, but really the only way to make that quicker is to take fewer photos. Which I suppose shooting film actually does force you to do. (But so would a 2GB SD card.)
