If it works like people describe - on the every nth token or something - then the mark will be left in the chain of thought and discussion with the model - not in the code artifacts.
All emergencies from unknown numbers that I can thank of will be from local numbers.
I personally answer all phone calls but I have very little of those spam calls (on average once a month perhaps?) And I have learned to just rudely stop the call without saying "sorry, I'm not interested".
N=1, but my quality of life has greatly improved. Literally all devices I use daily (laptop, phone, mp3 player, Bluetooth speaker, headphones) I charge from a single cable.
I'm still grateful for this unification every time I charge my phone via the laptop charger.
- Podcast app (removed nags, ads, added some stats and filters I wanted).
- notepad. After windows added copilot to notepad I deleted it. Then i took some simple notepad app from github and added the few features I care about.
- android voice keyboard
And the biggest win was taking Wezterm and having claude build Lua scripts for the features I'm missing
In 1953 people were not exposed as much to different groups of people far away.
There are some databases but e.g. they are biased towards Wikipedia and web which makes some very obscure words at the top of popularity (like some technical words which are present on each wiki page like Datenschutz or Impressum).
I love good ai stuff even if it's obvious it's ai
There are quite some countries around the world using d/m/y

Algeria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile...
Duplo is also mostly generic parts in sets.
My kids like doing themed Legos as they look cool, but for creative building we do Duplos - even though kids are "too old" for duplo technically. Duplo allows us to build bigger structures. Like https://imgur.com/a/niEhA8E
I disagree with this part. The bar of skill you need to write complex now is much lower now, so a new person might very quickly learn just enough to be able to build cool products.
Maybe not operating systems, but useful web apps, browser plugins, productivity tools, programs that solve business needs outside of IT, ETC.
Edit; but if you mean learning to code with the purpose of finding a job as a programmer then I'm more willing to agree.
Learning to code is a must. You need to know what is possible or easy to know how much you can ask.
What will be less important is to keep your sword sharp.
I notice that if code less for some time I do more one-off errors, copy/paste mistakes etc. With llm keeping the coding skill warm is less important but I cannot imagine doing my work - even with Fable if I didn't know how to do it without him
I have developed some intuition of how large tasks I can give it so that it will complete them well, probably erring on the conservative side.
I am using it daily for all my code writing and honestly don't remember the last time I had the feeling that I had to spend a lot of work to get the last few % done.
Some jobs should run every day at 8 am (e.g. torn on the temporary speed limit on front of the school), vs tasks that should actually run every 24h (e.g. feed the bacteria in exact time intervals)
Did they get several cities to participate?
But the other way around sometimes yes.
Or if it is - why e.g. automated voices reading nyt articles are so bad?
However I have some other ideas and my quiz isn't "science based"
- in my quiz there are only "yes / no answers" This way you don't spend eternity reading descriptions of the word "apple". It also means I can estimate separately my passive and active vocabulary.
The OP missing "I don't know button" which will overestimate any result by 25% percent.
- I'm adjusting dynamically how many questions to ask in each bucket.
the goal of my quiz is to estimate a number of German words an English speaking learner has learned.
So I have curated vocabulary to remove "free words" like rare compounds of common words and other rare words which satisfy "any European knows this word without learning".
The final vocabulary used in a quiz is approx 8k words only
I read it as a models performance being random and observed differences in the opinions are the results of the overinterpretation of the random outcomes.
I think however that some people seem to be always lucky which indicates that it is not random but rather some fixed differences between people and their environments.
It seems that people have different workflows or repos, or memories or prompts or expectations.
Few of the best sessions I have ever had with claude went into 700-800k territory.
I frequently reach 400-600k without visible (to me) signs of quality regression.
One being that extrapolating from like 3 data points is hardly science. All trends break at some point.
The other is that the measures to prevent distillation of their models (if it was a secret sauce of Chinese models) could work if nobody is allowed to use them.
Both sides have very good arguments and from the side it looks like either way the Switzerland has to give up some asoects of its high quality of life.
If the initiative succeeds, Switzerland will get a large hit from the cancelation of a lot of bilateral agreements with the EU.
If the population exceeds 10M then the current rail and road infrastructure will not handle it well.
I have already been on a train which refused to move due overload. And it would only depart if enough people have disembarked. The autobahn are already having hours long traffic jams at peak hours and with extra million people it will multiply.
And it's almost impossible to significantly improve the throughput of rail and autobahn without extreme projects.
It looks like a lose / lose situation is a sense and a people are going to decide which hit to take.
In my experience the text for the Claude has only one requirement - the intent and meaning must be there.
The text for Claude doesn't need structure. Doesn't need style. Doesn't need formatting. Doesn't need deeper thought. The only important thing is that it includes somewhere somehow the relevant bits of information.
The quality of prose I throw at him is below what I would show to any other human. I just turn on my microphone, keep dictating whatever comes to my mind and I think might be relevant. After this is done I may or may not ask Claude to rephrase what I wrote before keeping it as memory.
On the other hand people judge you for what and HOW you type. They complain about it.
It's in my experience that people will generally judge a programmer much more for the quality of his outputs than the number of them. So if your target are other humans - it's better to have no docs than bad docs. For claude it's the other way around.
