I tried using some but they’re all equally shit.

That would be fine, if people weren’t using LLMs to write code, or to do school work,
But they are. So it’s important to write these articles that say “if you keep using a chainsaw to drive nails, here are the limitations you need to be aware of.”

Fuck slack though.
I hated the channel organisation, I would always click off a channel where I needed to respond to try and find other information, and then I’d never be able to find the channel I was responding to. Chronological sorting channels at least means I have a chance of finding where I was.
Also fuck their terrible reply options. I generally just wanted to acknowledge that I was responding to a message, I didn’t want to spin up some weird thread.
Basically, I hate everything, and don’t want to talk to anyone.
Yeah they’ve rolled it out to everyone, got a defacto monopoly and now they’re increasing the rates for new customers.
This is just capitalism 101 while pretending it’s for the regulators.
It’s good for anything that has thousands of examples on stack overflow.
For example, every time I end up trying to work with pandas, I always forget the syntax and it’s generally good here.
Anything unusual, or that is sufficiently complicated that I wouldn’t be able to Google for, and just forget it.
How fucked up would it be if your actual town square was owned by a private company?
You have just invented malls. Hugely damaging to society, but they come with convenient parking and air con.
I quite like the tag line X, the abandoned shopping mall of the internet.
I think it describes it well.
Why is this the first step and not any of the other things that have been around for years?
We have logic reasoning in the form of prolog, bots that are fun to play against in computer games, computers that can win in chess and go against the best players in the world, and computer vision is starting to be useful.
Dev jobs and data scientists often get a lot of leeway.
Very big tech companies tend to be more open to it. When I was at AWS their threat model was basically to treat every end user device as untrusted, which then meant that they didn’t rely on keeping laptops locked down for security.
I don’t think you can buy the book. It was 20 volumes in 1989, and they’ve been working on an ongoing update since then. There’s no plans to physically print a third edition.
But yeah, it’s a serious scholarly resource, and they do put out free small dictionaries as well.
Most curries you can get in the UK were invented there.
As a quick rule of thumb, if it looks like it has gravy or thick sauce someone from India wouldn’t recognise it

It’s always one of the first things to get cut when companies try to save money.
