That's fair, thanks for your thoughts.

> People are more powerful in life on the basis of their literacy sometimes I feel it works the opposite way: I feel recently (in the last 5 to 10 years), the people who know less …

Yeah, that's fair.

Thanks for your thoughts. I am curious to hear more about how AI did not help in your math project, if you are happy to share. Also curious to why you think in some cases it seems …

Yes, that makes sense. I am trying to think about what the alternative is, but I also don't see it.

Fair enough, but I fear the necessary foundational knowledge becomes smaller and smaller as LLMs get better.

I hope indeed that AI stays at the shallow end. I dread a world where that's not the case, because then I think it will be a little harder to find purpose.

Fair enough. I have often the same feeling with chess though: the fact that computers are so much better than any human removes a little something to me.

I am home-schooling my kid. He shares my interest in math and CS, and he's really good at it. I've been cheering him on a path towards academic success in these 2 fields. In parts …

Ok, thanks. I will get a domain name for it, yes.

I need to build a simple website to share a project that I have, that evolves around advocating for some social change, and involves open source code. My initial thought was to use…

Ok, I will look into that. Thank you

Ok, good point. Thank you

Thanks

ok, thanks, I will look into that.

At work, I need to work with 3 laptops (3 mac book pros). My employer is happy to pay for whatever hardware or software to make it easier. What setup should I go for? I thought abo…

Ok, interesting. That is what I am considering. Any feedback on that? Do you feel it's worth it? Any tip?

Thanks for that. I am not sure I am ready for the jump from macOS to linux though. I will consider it, thanks for the pointer.

I do not have anything specific in mind, because threats are constantly evolving. I am clear that you can never be 100% safe. But I am looking to protect myself as much as is reaso…
