it’s because it’s not intelligent it’s just an LLM that does a pretty good job imitating how humans speak. pretending it is intelligent is admittedly something humans do all the time to charming smooth talkers but like you said when we force it to do a job it was never meant to do and it will forever be unsuited for, we set it up for failure

One day Shizuo Kakutani . . . was teaching a class at Yale. He wrote down a lemma on the blackboard and announced that the proof was obvious. One student timidly raised his hand and said that it wasn’t obvious to him. Could Kakutani explain? After several moments’ thought, Kakutani realized that he could not himself prove the lemma. He apologized, and said that he would report back at their next class meeting.

After class, Kakutani went straight to his office. He labored for quite a time and found that he could not prove the pesky lemma. He skipped lunch and went to the library to track down the lemma. After much work, he finally found the original paper. The lemma was stated clearly and succinctly. For the proof, the author had written, “Exercise for the reader.” The author of this 1941 paper was Kakutani.

OK but that still doesn’t help me go from “I know the difference between integers and floating point variables and how to make loops” to “Hey Mom here’s a new house I bought with my stock options from my startup”

Then what’s the class C passenger vehicle license of coding that everyone needs to survive in the modern world from teenagers to grandparents? I just want to drive a sedan from point A to point B, maybe pick up a piece of furniture from Costco or a litter from soccer practice in an SUV once in a while.

My job is to observe and report.

Isn’t that the least updated of the above choices? (if you run stable)

Do you… set your thermostat based on the day’s currency exchange rate? Do you wake up and say, “Honey, I can see my breath; the Euro must be down. Alexa, call my broker.”

try attaching a wrist support? the Kensington expert comes with one I think, I like the slim blade but may be too low profile for you

they’re called dependas and yes very much a thing

I only use track balls that are bigger and use 4 fingers that way I get way more control, less movement of my joints/wrist, and far more comfortable. Never figured out how to use a thumb one.

HOW CAN SHE SLAP

Gentoo? LFS?

That was sad and infuriating. Pirates are our only hope.
