Just like with solid fertilizer.

I sprinkled a bit on top and worked it in, like a few centimetres.

I understand LLMs well enough that I really don't want to use them because they are inherently incapable of judging the validity of information they are passing along.

Sometimes it's wrong. Sometimes it's right. But they don't tell you when they're wrong, and to find out if they were wrong, you now have to do the research you were trying to avoid in the first place.

I tried programming with it once, because a friend insisted it was good. But it wasn't, and it was extremly confidend, while being exceptionally wrong.

Man. Every time I read an unsolicited comment like this, I get moved a bit more to the "optics matter" camp.

If someone is interested, they will ask. And if they ask, you get to camly explain your thoughts and feelings.

That's how I managed to get everyone to think of the “haha, my food eats your food” guy in my social circle as the weird “berates people for their personal choices” guy, rather than me. He brought it up in the most childish, naive way, and I got to be the adult in the room.

And that stuck. A bunch of my friends lost their fear of meat alternatives, because of me wordlessly picking the meat alternative from the fridge in the grocery store, while picking things out for the BBQ. People do notice these things. And some will copy you, if you seem cool enough to copy.

Our shareholders have decided that our proprietary software now requires a subscription to work and that an ad will be displayed every 60 seconds on the fan aswell as in the app.

Thank you for supportig our goal of increasing profits.

Sure, it may sound bad when children become homeless. But have you ever thought about how much money it saves? Just think of all the good things we can afford with all that money!

Like anti-homeless park benches. Or those little speakers that emit ultra-high-pitched sounds so that young people don't … enjoy … existing somewhere or something, idk.

And just because I'm unable to actually satirize reality at the moment, yes, /s

Have you considered that we could reduce the number of lanes available and fuck some of our customers?

I've only used an LLM (you can guess which one) once to write code. Mostly because I didn't feel like writing down some numbers and making a little drawing for myself to solve the problem.

And because a friend insisted that it writes code just fine.

But it didn't. It confidently didn't. Instead, it made up something weird and kept telling me that it had now “fixed” the problem, when in reality it was trying random fixes that were related to the error message but had nothing to do with the actual core problem. It just guessed and prayed.

In the end, I solved the problem in 10 minutes with a small scribble and a pen. And most of the time was spend drawing small boxes, because my solution relied on a coordinate system, I needed to visualize.

Isn't it mostly 9*10+2? 9 * ty (implying 10) + 2.

Even german does that, although weirdly the way you can't just write down long numbers reasily one by one: Zwei (2) und ((and) neun- (9) -zig (*10)).

Half-Life Alyx looks fantastic. It's a modern but faithful representation of the Half-Life universe. You can jump from HL2 to Alyx and feel like you're part of the same narrative and story. Even though there are almost two decades in between.

Half-Life RTX has more polygons, higher-resolution textures and a much more resource-hungry lighting system. The entire Half-Life universe was cast as a cameo to star in another guys remake.

Shaped charges are extremly good for wiping larger clusters.
