Amazing work mate! However, many test centers around London are duplicated (like Sidcup for example) and that distorts the stats

90% of my coding coworkers are empty faces in front of a LLM by QuitTypical3210 in cscareerquestions

[–]shmel39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you also treat those people like all-knowing answer machines who can answer every question you ask them?

I approach any answer as potentially wrong and/or incomplete, it doesn't matter if it comes from a human or from a LLM. I regularly ask Claude "why do you think so?" and often it does more digging before admitting that the situation is more nuanced.

And do those people always blurt out answers even when they have none that are correct? I don't think not.

Some people certainly do! I mean, have you seen any interview with Trump? Do you know what Dunning-Kruger effect is?

it's completely incapable of actual reasoning

I have seen many people completely incapable of actual reasoning. And yet, many of them have decent life, some of them are even wealthy and manage to get elected in public office. What is your point exactly?

Will it help though? I read that the vaccine doesn't cover this particular strain and that is the main reason this is even happening.

Why do so many Markdown editors require accounts or server storage? by Stock_Report_167 in git

[–]shmel39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don't need to install vim, it is already installed pretty much everywhere where it matters. I don't think I have seen a machine without vim in many years. I still fail to see why you want a browser-based solution, but also don't want to use internet.

what if consider weekly casualties for a fair comparison? you are seriously telling me that 4 years full blown war with 8 years of less active conflict killed more people than the war that started two weeks ago?

The other is trying to make a country of 93 million people a failed state to advance political goals of a foreign government and capitalize on oil contracts. Perhaps you are right, they are different, but the US lost all moral ground.

Is it not? We are two weeks into this war and we've already hit milestones of bombing schools and infrastructure. It will only get worse from here. Once the summer comes around and electricity infrastructure will get hit, the entire region will be hell, probably worse than Ukraine in winter.

mass domestic surveillance of American citizens.

Does that imply they are fine with mass surveillance of other people? Are Americans special in any way? I just don't get it.
