  • What is your reason for not flipping to Linux?

  • I would like to add two more points

    • Certain pricey applications aimed students and researchers (non CS background) which are only released for Windows
    • Inability to learn a new way of using the PC after learning the "windows way" for 20 years. Even Windows shenanigans are second-nature to mildly-PC literate people.

  • If you lose your memories, are "you" dead? If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still "your relative/friend"? What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories?

  • I’m not encouraging their use, but harm reduction is a big deal, it saves lives

    Can you tell me which kind of drugs are these? I promise i'm not a fed :P

  • I know the difference instinctively but i think i may have written it wrong in many places. "I'll add this exercise to my workout" vs "We should work out more".

    Thanks for the detailed explanation.

    • Workout. Doesn't have to be a lot but be consistent
    • No matter what everyone says, keep on learning.
    • Try to be in contact with your close friends
    • Don't compare yourself to someone else. There will always be someone better.
    • Develop some hobbies which doesn't involve a mobile phone or other people
    • Read books. Even two books a year is great.
    • Don't do drugs or smoke. It's not worth it.

    This needs to be mandatory due to its fragile nature.

  • I would need more information about this story

  • SteamOS will soon support the Lenovo Legion Go 2

  • People would be mad, SteamOS and M$ itself are already giving people enough to ditch windows

    Simply being mad at microsoft is not enough for them to ditch windows. The alternative must exist as well. Valve had to work hard to get to that level and become a threat to microsoft.

    If SteamOS wasn't good enough, microsoft would just yawn at the haters while making insane amounts of money.

    I think it's called the "wolf's mane" look. Pretty awesome.

    And hey you can have long hair and still look “groomed” btw

  • I hoped LLMs would be able to help me learn things at first, like a patient tutor I can ask all my stupid questions and it'll never get annoyed with me

    It can do that for school level stuff because that material is present in it's input dataset in a redundant manner. For anything niche or domain-specific, it will hallucinate or fail.

    I believe that when the bubble bursts, education will be one genuine usecase for LLMs.

  • Looks like the person using it have at least some idea of what they are doing

    This is something which I have been saying from a year back, albeit a different form -- "I only ask questions to LLMs if I already know the answer".

    They are not supposed to replace coders, but kind of boost their productivity.

    This usecase is also quite good.

    • It's not critical; not many people are using QICs
    • It's not hard, but just boring

  • There's a viral video of a person creating booby-trapped parcels for porch-pirates. They steal the parcel which creates mayhem at their house (stink spray, glitter). Can the thief sue the person?
