Didn't think it would cross the uncanny valley for me when it opened the chat by taunting me for being up too late, reading the time digit by digit. Not something a human would do.…

Might be interesting, but this tone is nails on a chalkboard to me. Bailed after the third "dear reader"

Great chat! Talking about 1D vs 2D data structures felt incomplete without some mention of 3D coding. The only examples I know of are from games - Minecraft's Redstone or the autom…

Honda and Toyota are still cheap, safe, and dependable. Our CR-V is such a great value I don't actually understand how they turn a profit.

Beauty is often worth a little extra time. I'd rather walk a beautiful trail than a paved sidewalk beside 6 lanes of fast traffic. It's cool to choose the tools that appeal to your…

Intriguing. My feedback for whoever is writing this, the main site, the github Readme, etc, please put in some work on a clarity/simplification pass.

Last I looked it's barely available in the US. A dozen states, maybe.

What would you rank as a bigger loss? My list is pretty short. Wife, kids. Losing a job means you lose your friends, your work, your brand, your routine, maybe the commute you chos…

Your husband or wife can also wake up and decide to "get rid of you in a blink". How attached to them should you get?

I suspect you've never really been passionate about your work or loved the crew you've worked with. I recommend it. Love hurts, but sometimes it's a good hurt.

I could ask ChatGPT why you're likely to be a grumpy bad-faith asshole, but as an expert in the field of dealing with children, you probably just need a snack.

Right, and a hammer is not a saw. Different tools do different things. In this example the llm helped point me to a few relevant tools in the field, including https://materialsproj…

I don't need AI to "generate" new ideas. Here I'm using it as a search to point me to things I can research. Why the negativity?

Sure, as an outsider curious about getting involved, a high level summary is exactly what LLMs are good at. Why the negativity?

Gross. I love it.

Um, yes. It gave me a handful of good leads for related open source projects to check out. Why the negativity?

Yes. Recall my original point is explaining how high earners can still be anxious about layoffs. Even if they have been balancing family, fun, and savings... a layoff would likely …

A luxury car or bag doesn't move the needle much, both can also be had for 10k/y. And both of those items hold some value in the event they'd need to be resold. They're far less "f…
