Didn’t it find a bunch of 30 year old vulnerabilities already? What more proof do you need

This is really cool. It seems to me LLMs and books are a match made in heaven. An LLM query is more useful than a google search for most text. Would be cool to see this more deeply integrated, in a koreader extension or something

What’s a good sci fi book about that?

The arrogance of comments like this is amazing.

I think it's an interesting psychological phenomenon similar to virtue signalling. Here you are signalling to the programmer in-group how good of a programmer you are. The more dismissive you are the better you look. Anyone worried about it reveals themself as a bad coder.

It's a luxury belief, and the better LLMs get the better you look by dismissing them.

You have to verify access to the email with a code to do the merge. That solves your issue

Use LLMs. Claude could generate a full course plan and execute it

Just leave your laptop at work, I’ve done that plenty of times

I agree with you but take it further, what's the point of different spaces? Just put all apps to full screen size (not "fullscreen") on the first screen and alt tab instantly

Too many tabs is overwhelming. I know for myself when the tab count gets high it's a sign that my mind is cluttered, I'm unfocused, and I need to prune and centre myself again. Bookmarks are one way, but I mainly just use the search bar directly for history. Things to read later are put into Pocket or linked in Obsidian notes or somewhere more relevant.
