Missed opportunity to call it "Live Free or Fail Hard"

This is such a wild example to me because sitting at beach is extremely boring and takes forever whereas doing calculus is at least engaging so time flies reasonably quick.

Like when I think what takes the longest in my life I don't think "those times when I'm actively solving problems", I think "those times I sit in a waiting room at the doctors with nothing to do" or "commuting, ditto".

That's wrong on both counts.

The complaints about NFTs were also that they were unethical - consumed a shitton of electricity for no reason, sustained themselves mostly by scams and rugpulls. The chief use case of crypto has always been crime and money laundering.

The complaints about AI are that it fucking sucks and results in a truly insane waste of resources towards something that doesn't solve literally any problems, like NFTs squared. The unethical aspect of it all is just a cherry on top that makes using LLMs a no-go even if it happened to kinda work for your problem.

I’m not surprised by the results, but it’s hardly a fair assessment of the usefulness of AI.

It's a more than fair assessment of the claims of usefulness of AI which are more or less "fire all your devs this machine is better than them already"

It's going to be your INT bonus modifier, but you can get a feat that also adds the WIS modifier

For prolonged coding sessions you do need CON saving throws, but you can get advantage from drinking coffee (once per short rest)

What’s the standard advice to give them?

It's unfortunately illegal for me to answer this question earnestly

Is this generated by a Markov chain? It's incoherent, but in a kinda amusing way?

Is this you, disc horse bot?

It's a stupid thing that

  • exists only in English as far as I know, every other language puts it after the number,
  • is not used consistently (since you still write 25¢ and not ¢25),
  • doesn't follow the way you read it (it's "five dollars" not "dollar five").

It's one of those places where yes, the spelling rules say otherwise, but the rule is fucking stupid so anarchy it is.

I'm more irked by "less", the noun there is dollars so it should be "fewer"...

I saw glimpses of someone playing some weird shit on a mobile phone, so I texted my bff group chat that it looks like someone's playing a pokemon game but it's anime girls racing around a track or something, but it was 18:30 in public transit, hard day at work, really hot, so I was like probably I'm hallucinating something

Then the responses I got were like "ye it's probably this very popular Umami Horny Derby game where you date horse waifus, everyone's been playing it for weeks" and I haven't been more depressed in ages

Anyway, they say it covers Node and to any question regarding Node the answer is "no", I don't need an AI to know webdev fundamentals

It seems that the test itself is generated by autoplag? At least that's how I understand the PS and one of the comments about "vibe regression" in response to an error

The Player of Games in which a smart nerd like themselves get recruited as an agent to bring down an empire a bit like our own by being really really good at games.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what this book is, but calling it "The Player of Games" is so funny to me.
