As I said, I can write programs in assembly language. I have actually done so, small trivial ones. I'm not a businessman, I'm a programmer. But I use compilers basically all the time because it would be ridiculous not to.
If an AI is able to break something in a way that no human can fix then I suppose that's a sign that AI has exceeded human capabilities. Do you think it's there yet?
And yet the person with the forklift is moving more stuff than the guy who did it by hand could manage. The "over" in "over-reliance" is a subjective value judgment and I just don't agree.
I'm not seeing the problem here. Technology is developed specifically for this purpose, to remove unnecessary burden from humans and enhance their capabilities. There's nothing noble about laboring unnecessarily hard to accomplish goals in a suboptimal manner. I could write programs in assembly language but instead I use high-level languages and compilers. Does that result in over-reliance on compilers?
John Henry died in the process of "beating" the steam hammer and then got replaced anyway. Nowadays it'd be considered foolish to do that work by hand.
And I could manually relocate all the contents of a palette, too. Just not anywhere near as quickly and easily as I can with a forklift. The analogy is still apt.
I physically can't refactor a codebase in 15 minutes.
In the lower right photo I can hear him yelling "wheee!"
My current expectation is even weirder, actually. I think the most likely outcome at the moment is for Trump to "switch sides" and start supporting Iran against Israel. Not in the sense of literally bombing Israel, but in the sense of bullying Israel to give concessions to Iran.
Trump's philosophy on life is very simple: there are winners and there are losers. Right now Iran is a winner. He got suckered by a loser into siding with them against a winner, and now he's mad. I could see him wanting to be on the winning side and punishing the ones who made him look like a loser.
As I say, very weird timeline.
It's such a weird timeline where I can say "at least Trump surrendered when it became clear his stupid war was lost."
And ever since I got a forklift my arm strength has gone down.
You didn't read the article or choose whether to post it?
The discussion on the dispute seems pretty strongly tilted in the "keep" direction.
Going to be interesting to see the United States put Wikipedia under export control as a munition.
The warning came as the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, had said Israel “will maintain the security zone in south Lebanon as long as our security needs require it”
Got to wonder if there's some 5D chess going on here. "Hey, Trump, the treaty said you and your allies had to withdraw from Lebanon." "Yeah, well, we're ditching Israel as allies then. So there."
Having transcripts of every adventure is such a huge game-changer for me. I've been putting them into NotebookLM and I can ask it any detail about past adventures, "when the party met with the prince did they mention anything about the vault to him?" Or about the worldbuilding, "who was the goddess of tears and rain?" And so forth. Drop a PDF of the rules in there too and it can look up stuff that may not be so easy to just keyword search, and in a pinch it can even do stuff like whip up a new set of monster stats (though I've found it's not very good at balancing them so you'll need to give it a once-over).
I've been experimenting with tools like llm_wiki, which can automatically build an obsidian-compatible wiki out of raw source documents (such as those transcripts). It's not quite "there" yet IMO but it looks like a promising approach.
