Once a week, LOL. I get 3-6 calls per day (USA).

This doesn't mean that you can't give negative feedback. But, I tend to make suggestions/requests rather than calling someone out. If you're a manager, part of the job is telling s…

I see a possible misunderstanding on my part here. My experience has typically been that engineers respond, "Claude said..." and then say what they think about it. If people are re…

Depends on what they wrote alongside. Ideally, I get more than just a dump of Claude's response. Ideally, they summarize what they regard to be the key point. This might be why I'm…

So, you have different roles and specialties, but you know for a fact that this person should know the answer to your question. I think we're speaking past each other, because this…

So, people are using AI to answer questions about tribal knowledge? Is that really the assertion which is being made here? Because I find that hard to believe.

Just FYI, scolding people causes them to resent you. Take great care when giving negative feedback. Courtesy costs you very little and gains a lot.

I generally provide the source for my information. Even if I already know the answer, I will generally provide a reference on the web or in a document. If I asked an LLM, I will pr…

"I don't know" could also mean they couldn't be bothered. It can't possibly be better than getting a response from someone who lifted a finger to help find an answer for you.

I appreciate "Claude said...", because it helps me assign an appropriate level of trust in the information.

I disagree that it's necessarily laziness. I work in the embedded space, and I routinely have to work with technologies I'm initially not familiar with. Internet searches are very …

Why is it their job to know, but it's not your job to know?

Would you be OK with someone looking up the answer on the internet?

The issue is that only Congress had the authority to cut funding to a congressionally authorized program. What Elon did was illegal and also heinous.

Seriously? His destruction of USAID and the various estimates of resulting deaths is well documented. https://www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?view=table&sort=titl... https://www.th…

Maybe so, but 30 years is wildly disproportionate.

The NASA Ames Research Center Modular Supercomputing Facility is highly efficient, both in terms of electricity and water use. The facility isn't air conditioned. The chips are wat…

They didn't say delete your FB account. They just said to stop using it.

I know two people who have sold on FB Marketplace, so apparently it works. I login to FB about 3 times a year and get icked out almost immediately. I refuse to install FB on my pho…

Incapable of saying yes or not authorized to approve?

This is close to correct. We should be aware of current events but not become too emotionally involved with them. They are mostly outside of our control, and we need to reserve mos…
