Well yeah because booting into Linux is so much faster

This is not a natural landscape. You don't get fields of grass like this without human intervention. This started in the bronze age, so just because your local human-made landscape is green, make no mistakes.

Bit by-the-by, though, because obviously computers are completely awesome, but real nature is not this placid homogeneous scene

Bonding time is important but it's also important to get into the habit of looking after the children as a father. Otherwise odds on you won't manage to bond very well with either your child or the mother 😅

There are two difficult problems in computer science. Naming things, and pairing with Bluetooth speakers.

Third degree embarrassment right here

I have actually said that exact phrase out loud on occasion. I used to be really quite introvert but then I found my group and I'm pretty extrovert with them! Sometimes so much so that I realise I've been 'holding forth' and should probably shut up and let everyone else have a go.

Han you actually give yourself an aneurysm by just being really angry? Or is anger just an early-warning sign?

I think the actual problem is that they won't know when they've got something that compiles but is wrong... I dunno though. I've never seen someone doing this and I can only speculate tbh. I only ever asked ChatGPT a couple of times, as a joke to myself when I got stuck, and it spouted completely useless nonsense both times... Although on one occasion the wrong code it produced looked like it had the pattern of a good idiom behind it and I stole that.

No arguments from me that it's better if people are just better at their job, and I like to think I'm good at mine too, but let's be real - a lot of people are out of their depth and I can imagine it can help there. OTOH is it worth the investment in time (from people who could themselves presumably be doing astonishing things) and carbon energy? Probably not. I appreciate that the tech exists and it needs to, but shoehorning it in everywhere is clearly bollocks. I just don't know yet how people will find it useful and I guess not everyone gets that spending an hour learning to do something that takes 10s when you know how is often better than spending 5 mins making someone or something else do it for you... And TBF to them, they might be right if they only ever do the thing twice.

I have no idea why the engagement with this was down votes. So your friend thinks having an LLM to answer questions will help to learn Linux? I imagine he's probably right.

Don't knock being perpetually high. Some of my best code I wrote in my mid-20s
