And when you need water for drinking or showering do you go to the well to get it?

You miss the point entirely little bro. Modern water-moving infrastructure is qualitatively different than two thousand years ago. Why would modern education be exempt from a simil…

Definitely the case that LLMs still face a "not actually rational nor conscious" problem. Einstein once said physics is like looking at the outer movement of a watch and attempting…

Couldn't agree more, and yet, attendance itself is a commerical product.

I still think naming things is more important than ever. You can let the LLM decide how to name things, and spend days or weeks refactoring things. Or you can get your sketchpad ou…

Pretty crazy idea. I know I sometimes just "wave through the motions" when I'm taking notes. For example, when I am reading a book, I often take notes of my favorite quotes/sentenc…

Already did. Github owns and controls NPM, npm is no longer a community-controlled project. Therefore, Github should [happily] take on the duties, responsibilities, and obligations…

I don't appreciate a pedantic interpretation of the analogy; consider any marketplace where the sellers are not the platform: Amazon, FB Marketplace, Etsy, eBay, and so forth. When…

You say "free software" but npm is no longer a small open-source project with a federated rulership, it is owned and operated by a for-profit technological giant. There was a radic…

In my opinion, things like scanners should not need to exist if npm's parent company, GitHub, were to take responsibility for what was published to npm. If Walmart sells you an ite…
