    You're just talking semantics. To me if I read text that helps me understand something, that's an explanation. The black box it comes from is irrelevant. LLMs do learn, understand,…

    It explained something to me today. So your point is disproven. What is intelligence then if not explaining things. They can be intelligent without consciousness if that’s what you…

    This is really bad. This is going to set bitcoin back years.. if it ever comes back. There really is no point and no real use case for it outside of crime. Unless the whole world o…

    Yeah the UI is insanely bad. It’s a classic case of open source bloat. There is literally a button to “open random file” which just made me laugh…

    A web app is limited. Even if it loads fast, it feels clunky. Apps using native components have a much higher ceiling. Users don't care what tech is underneath

    For sure, and these apps feel bad. I notice instantly. But they manage local storage, caching, and sessions much better than a PWA anyway

    I feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading these comments. Apps are clearly better for end users. HTML and css is SUPER slow. It doesn't feel native, it doesn't feel good to use. Y…

    Didn’t it find a bunch of 30 year old vulnerabilities already? What more proof do you need

    This is really cool. It seems to me LLMs and books are a match made in heaven. An LLM query is more useful than a google search for most text. Would be cool to see this more deeply…

    The arrogance of comments like this is amazing. I think it's an interesting psychological phenomenon similar to virtue signalling. Here you are signalling to the programmer in-grou…

    You have to verify access to the email with a code to do the merge. That solves your issue

    Use LLMs. Claude could generate a full course plan and execute it

    Just leave your laptop at work, I’ve done that plenty of times

    I agree with you but take it further, what's the point of different spaces? Just put all apps to full screen size (not "fullscreen") on the first screen and alt tab instantly

    Too many tabs is overwhelming. I know for myself when the tab count gets high it's a sign that my mind is cluttered, I'm unfocused, and I need to prune and centre myself again. Boo…

    What do you do differently nowadays? How do you stop this happening
