Not entirely true. Many science is gatekeeped, as well as other types of information. May books require illegal services to be obtained, or money (when available). Information about facts is buried in a lot of misinformation. Free flow is very hard to obtain!

the real money is in the coding surrounding models to make them efficient at specialized tasks. Casual users want general purpose models, and AI chat apps will stay for them. Most programs can benefit from a specialized AI that can be local, and #programs >> #users.

moving around could be accomplished by traveling, in decreasing order by efficiency (by those who can, obviously):

1) cycling 2) walking 3) train 4) cars 5) airplanes

and the frequency could follow an exponential distribution.

Students need to be taught how to use AI apps efficently to learn. Their goal is not to solve problems, but to learn how to solve them. Let alone, they instead use AI apps to solve problems for them.

AI apps are very powerful for teaching. You just need to tell them to do that, and not to directly solve your problem.

they are two very different movies, especially considering all three of the matrix movies.

"tea" is a word that many use to indicate anything infused. But tea is anything that comes from camelia sinensis, while other beverages are more correctly called infusions. Camelia sinensis has caffeine.

you're partially right. It doesn't matter if they had specified the grams of coffee beans they used to produce those cups. It would have been better to specify both number of cups and how they were produced.

interesting! To me that's almost two cups for my moka.

thirty-one participants were moderate coffee-drinkers (CD, i.e., people that usually consume between 3 to 5 cups of coffee per day).

3-5 is moderate? To me, 3 is already high.

Also, sample size is pretty low and they're all Irish.

it's the barley cartel.

tea also has caffeine, although in smaller quantities. Maybe you mean that you don't care so you go by taste, just specifying because there's a common misconception about tea not having caffeine.

no, there are also many others.

Carcassonne is not very complicated, but when you start adding expansions it can become a bit complicated.

that's the ultimate board game I guess.

books are too expensive when you factor in quality. Most edition today are crap, designed to look good, but be bad. Glued pages are even in "fancy" editions. And not speaking about content.

I get that many people will probably loose their jobs, but they need to adapt rather then defend a dying industry. Paper books must remain for high end editions of classics or very high demand books (category which in time coincide with classics).

Other books should be digital first, which is the most efficient medium for discovering new books by new authors, and cut costs by those authors who can easily self publish. Publishers should innovate in this direction, not by publishing thousand of crap books yearly (both in quality of paper etc. and content itself).

that's not true in my opinion. Being a libertarian means first recognizing what "liberty" is. So there are many different libertarians, one for each definition, and then one for each consequence that can be inferred from that definition. If you value liberty as the maximum liberty that doesn't constrain others more than you are constrained, that is, realizing that humanity is both freedom and society, it's a very different thing than using any mean necessary to obtain your own freedom.

I understand this isn't the perspective of many that call themselves "libertarian".

yes. Most people are upset and fear losing their job because they feel their job is sub-par. In reality, that's for most of them impostor syndrome, for some could be a wake up call.

Ironic how a libertarian would impose his personal views on "the system". Doesn't work? Let it die. Too many PhDs? Perhaps, let them search for a job. If they're indeed too many, a generation of plumbers etc. will emerge naturally. No one is impeding their businesses, if anything governments worldwide are aiding big technology companies in any way possible.

Social media are to be used for a very short amount of time daily.

Discipline is required.

If you copy the code infringing licenses, yes, it will be harder to legally sort things out.

Otherwise, copying code and improving it with AI or with humans is the same, as long as the product improves.

I doubt that many semi-automatic AI copies can really improve a product more than the original team, for really valid products.

AI will be a filter of bad quality.

security by obscurity doesn't work.

I think both will stick around because they solve two different problems. 1) what are you able to do (skills) 2) which tools you have to do it (mcp)

1984 gets more real every day.

computers are good learning tools for adults that learned how to learn with books.

This practice also describes coding in legacy applications, but instead of a silver leaf you have // TODO: fix

Nassim Nicholas Taleb is triggered, then calms down a bit toward the end.

This is interesting and goes beyond the usual AI hype. It's the beginning of a structured and efficient use of new tools (aka software engineering).

and this is a good thing.

where's porridge?

Breakfast has way more dimensions.

it is a short term benefit.
