Are those studies in the context of software development? What are the tasks at hand? Do they evaluate critical thinking on matters that people actually care about or on chores? Were they instructed to use LLMs in a particular way that is equivalent to their personal preference?

You can’t pull a wildcard saying something like that because it’s too broad of a conclusion.

Only if you don’t care about your own cognitive decline

That sounds like Socrates’ argument that writing would weaken people’s memories.

And absolutely, people will probably forget the syntax by heart if they don’t type it as frequently. Personally, knowing syntax is not very valuable to me, as it’s just a means to an end. And whether that leads to cognitive decline or not, is really up to who’s using the tool.

Saying it leads to cognitive decline is saying you can’t use an LLM and have critical thinking, which I can’t agree with.

I’m sure he included himself in that group

mpv for about 6 years now. Like VLC it plays pretty much anything I need to, but it feels snappier

definitely, zen trying so hard to be arc totally ruined it

the faster you burn them the sooner you burnout

Fwiw it works on the desktop’s alexandrite ui and on the thunder app

that crushed ear lobe lol

that’s still massive, an animated webm will probably be more useful

I can’t wait for the day they decide to build a hyperspatial express highway through our star system

that’s bad, we’ll get a pretty bad reputation around the milky way

There’s plenty of busy work that requires some level of “thinking” but it doesn’t add anything to whoever is doing it for the 50th time. You’re the one sounding like an idiot for ignoring this.

this comment completely ignores that the model specs are proportional to the manufacturing cost

OOTL what does notepad++ have to do with that? Or they just like to be eccentric in their releases for marketing?

Right, like I mentioned, it’s a scale problem and how people feel about generated code. Abandonware have always been the majority of repos, because people don’t have time or interest to maintain most things they create. We just have more things being created now (whether they’re any good/usable or not).

Disagree. Most projects are never “done”. Whether that is defined by the user or by the users, there are nearly always things to work on. Maintainers just lose interest or don’t bother. This is as old as open source and it has nothing to do with LLMs, it’s only aggravated by it.

Hardly an issue with generated code. You could say the same about projects before LLMs were widely used for code generation: “most projects are abandoned within months of release”. The difference now is the scale and how some people feel about it.

du* - applogies hehe

it’s a bad thing. The lowest you have to pay for a pixel now is 999 EUR. I think I paid around 600 USD for my pixel 8, and it was already more than I’m comfortable spending on a phone. We should stop normalizing $1000+ phones.

don’t you guys pay your rent and buy food with github stars?
