Are you talking about Macron?


No, but it is a European leader that has ~recently enjoyed that situation, but is no longer in it. Sorry, but I don't want to spell it out too obviously, for my own privacy.


It didn't say BLM supporter. It says black lives matter. If you take offence to that, that's a you problem


How is it hosted if you don't mind saying


Wake up and smell the coffee: fsharp is dead. Look at the release notes of fsharp. It's laughable for a major version update. It's maintained by like 5 people working in eastern Europe and they only do maintenance updates basically. C# is getting all its features and DotNet is basically c# oriented anyway. So even in the past you had to learn C# to program in F#


What's wrong with using AI to write code?


Nothing if you fix its errors and it fixes yours.


There's no skill in using AI. I spent 3 hours trying to build something like a table visualiser that creates a visualization of SQL schema relationship. I wrote simple prompts, tailored them using LLMs and fed them back into another LLM. Went on about 2 hours iterating on outputs until it looked like what I want. Result? It produces an output. The outputs worked well for most part but the results were variable. The arrows would sometimes not be in place. Sometimes you get 100 instead of 1. It was slow. And what I did learn from this that I didn't already know? Zero! On the other hand if I'd tried to figure out myself how to do it, I would have built something not only deterministic and faster , but I'd have gained some new experience and skills along with it of solving a problem.


You say that there's no skill in using AI, and then go on to explain how you used AI in an unskilled way to produce something that neither worked correctly nor taught you anything.

It strikes me that if you developed your skill set around using AI more effectively, you could have both developed a deep understanding and gotten what you wanted, and done it in less time and at higher quality than you could have done solo.

That said, the fact that you can use AI in an unskilled way to produce something kinda cool... is itself kinda cool! It means there's an on-ramp to using AI! People with no skills can get started, same day, and make stuff. And over time, can learn to make even better stuff! That's pretty cool to me.


That's not my point. My point is it's unreliable at best.

> strikes me that if you developed your skill set around using AI more effectively, you could have both developed a deep understanding and gotten what you wanted, and done it in less time and at higher quality than you could have done solo.

Why is this a given? I don't think there's a secret incantation that could have gotten better results. It's an inherent limitations of the system. If you have resources for me to learn I'm open to discover


Couldn't this backfire if they put LLMs on safety critical data. Or even if someone asks LLms for medical advice and dies?


I guess that the point is that doing so already is not safe?


You already shouldn't be using LLMs for either of those things. Doing so is tremendously foolish with how stupid and unreliable the models are.


I don't think that would stop people


There are several humans who need to make decisions between bad training data and life or death decisions coming from an LLM.


Why do they kill animals for fur? Could they not shave them? (I realise my question sounds dumb)


The pelt is what's harvested - the fur is not removed from the skin.

In some cases the animal's hair can be cut without harm, like how sheep are shorn for wool.


I don't really understand this comment. Are you saying dogs made way for nuclear families? Why would it be impossible? In India for example pet ownership is very low. Much lower than prevalence of nuclear families


There's no evidence that Toxoplasmosis has that effect on humans
