Yet the Eternal September is what made the modern AI possible. I asked Cowork for share of the corpus before / after the event, and the corpus before it is <1%, which fits my hunch.

Ikea does sell both ends of range; its has solid wood and particle boards.
They have "bottom of the barrel" and slightly better quality products. But the better products are nowhere near the (top) end of the range.
No, really: They have pretty decent quality, too. Much better than slightly better than bottom the barrel anyway.

#363I do think that between luddite or "ai pilled" ai usage should be much more in favor of "ai pilled".
However, this isn't a plug to be using AI for coding everything, but a more general plug that AI should be integrated to a lot more things outside of the mainstay of chatbots.
There is a lot of merit to using AI to establish a new abstraction layer.

Doesn't that just say "a pair of pants"? Or literally one line pants.
You wouldn't be surprised how often chinese learners say 一双裤子 (one pair of pants) rather than 一条裤子 (one long slender flowing pants).
All learners of Chinese, or just the ones whose native language is English?
I figure the most natural mistake to make when counting pants is to use 件, since that's the measure word that applies to "clothes", but you'd have to already know at least some Chinese in order to make that mistake.

Even something as "simple" as a kitchen knife - the same basic concept found in ancient roman everyday kitchens - can't be made to the same quality by a machine as per hand. CNC can't do the tolerances needed behind the apex. Even ignoring the story attached to a specific maker and going solely by cutting ability the really top end hand-made stuff noticeably outperforms everything mass-produced.
Are you talking about a chef's knife? If well done, I see no reason why it should be any worse than a high end knife made by a skilled human. Have a look at this if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5lq2d-03T0
I watched the video, but don’t understand the point you are trying to make. It was only a How things are made collage from some factory.

The point was to show that machines can produce knifes with precision. The other commenter stated that "CNC can't do the tolerances needed behind the apex.", whatever that means exactly.

But can you show me a "top of the range" product? Not Ikea's top range, but "high end" in the common sense.

#368A pattern i'm seeing is that people working with low level stuff (USB PCIe chip reverse engineering) are much more often refusing the pill. My career is essentially cooking an unholy amount of bog standard nodejs CRUD. And i think i definitely represent a bigger segment than low level gurus, and for me AI is irreplaceable.

Long story short, your point was that machines can do many things better than humans and I argue they can't even do kitchen knives better. How easily and well you cut through things depends on the thickness of the blade wedging them apart. Especially noticeable on denser food like carrots. The apex is the actual pointy part of the blade, and the thickness of the part after the apex and overall blade geometry dictate the cutting experience. Getting the front part thin is usually done via hand-grinding even in the video you shared, a fully controlled process would use something like C&C, but that tech currently can't get things thin enough to be a good knive.

They don't have particularly high end products, which is not what I claimed anyway. But they have good quality for the price, which extends to medium prices.
