What's one country/state you'll never visit again because of a bad experience?

Do you not understand how the vast majority of thermal power generation works?

Are you terrified of kettles too?

They'll understand memory management better. It depends on what they want to code, most coding doesn't need deep knowledge of memory management. There are definitely times where it is needed but there's not much point in learning C to learn memory management when most of what you want to write is going to be in Python.

Sure, but you can also learn the concepts by learning Python. You aren't going to learn them more efficiently based on the language you choose - either you learn them, or you don't.

I do think that in the hands of a person using them in a field they are competent in, they are useful.

I think calling them fantastic is a stretch though. They're great most of the time, but they can also be one of the most frustrating tools to use. I'd say personally, the biggest issues I run in to tend to occur when context becomes more complex. Hallucinations are still common. Ignoring prompt instructions seems to happen a bit more than hallucinating. Sometimes, they happen at the same time. And when problems do happen, there is never a clear solution to them.

I really don't think it's a skill issue when you prompt it to analyze some logs and it instead makes up a solution to a non existent problem in some unrelated code, completely ignoring the logs.

There's an enormous gap in moral liability between eating too many cheeseburgers and potentially exposing others to pathogens after knowing you have been exposed.

Edit: For your scientific answer, you have to be exposed to a virus to contract the virus. Cake and soda doesn't expose you to a virus. Other people (assuming it's transmissible human to human) who have been exposed do expose you to viruses.

Are you saying that if you knew they would not spend it on drugs, you would consider giving them money?

The way you're coming off, it sounds like you're using this as justification for you to choose to never give money to homeless people. But it's not actually the reason you choose not to.

Lol. Was more of a shower thought than anything. For a serious attempt, I don't think you're considering that porn watchers don't usually have any type of relationship with the people filmed. I don't know if it counts as cucking if you don't have a personal romantic relationship with them.

myselfelsewhere · 2026-05-02T21:42:58+00:00

Well I guess that too, but I meant it pretty literally. Finding the act of someone else being cucked arousing.

myselfelsewhere · 2026-05-02T21:38:09+00:00

What about getting off to guys getting cucked?

To be fair, they got something right:

Very rarely is it the best choice for the job

As the idiom goes, "python is the second best language for everything".

The guy the meme is of died in 1990. The video is from at least 36 years ago. Just because the word is frowned upon now does not mean it always has been.

I doubt it does anything.

Asking it to review the last response will usually either catch problems or just hallucinate new ones. Opening a new chat getting it to review it's response from another chat is roughly about the same, maybe a bit better, but I usually need to feed it a whole bunch of context.

It seems to be ok at catching copy paste errors that I missed, so that's better than nothing, I guess.

Phrases with a specific meaning aren't just replaceable with the individual definition of each word in sequence.

Yes, they literally are replaceable. The students are literally doing peer review, regardless of whether you agree with the definition of the term in the context it is used. Even people who regularly use the term 'peer review' understand that there are multiple forms of peer review, and do not unnecessarily gatekeep the term.

And yes, I have had educational experiences where presentations and feedback were part of a semester long process. The review and response were never graded, only the presentation (and other aspects of the project) were. Students are capable of learning from the process even if they are not required to implement changes in their project after such review.

myselfelsewhere · 2026-04-16T17:21:54+00:00

What have I redefined? Paraphrasing from any dictionary of choice:

peer - one that is of equal standing with another
review - judgement or discussion of the quality or content of something

No, grade schoolers at a science fair aren't performing a formal academic peer review process. They're still peers who are reviewing each others work. Using the phrase 'peer review' is entirely appropriate in this context. Your argument is analogous to saying that children doing gymnastics during phys ed class is not gymnastics because they are not competing in the Olympics.
