I just realized that you think the comment we're talking about is advocating for restricting access to cannabis?

You're part of the problem, bucko

I'll bite.

Corn syrup represents a derivative of a necessity for life and is not psychoactive. Either of these is sufficient to classify it completely differently from cannabis and break your analogy.

Also, apologies for attacking your character, but it's necessary for continuing the discussion in context. Your comment is the exact brand of "immature" that they're saying is wrong. Their comment, to which you are replying, is simply a plea for exactly what your comment is not: relevant, informative, and practical discourse.

Sounds like you're accusing a professional of holding their tool incorrectly. Not impossible, but not likely either.

perhaps it's got to do with packaging sizes. i think an acetominophen od is much worse. most of these countries regulate package size for these drugs, yes? US does not

I've had awkward interactions with the Walmart system. It's clearly using a neural net, and a good one at that. It's only ever flagged me when I did something odd (like put something bagged and paid for in my cart, then take it out, then put it back again). I dress/groom like a thief, so the conversations with the staff are always annoying.

Tagging along: will they ever get QMK?

I'll drink to the idea that it's all in my head.

my friends have been heating their apartments in the winter mining cryptocurrencies. they're not into crypto, in that they don't do it in the summer, it just helps offset the cost in rentals without heat pumps -- gamers who've already purchased the gpus

Yes 5.4

Perhaps Opus is superior and I'm just jaded.

I come from Cursor before having adopted the TUI tools. Opus was nothing short of pathetic in their environment compared to the -codex models. I would only use it for investigations and planning because it was faster.

Like you've said, though, that could just be a harness issue.

You're quick to say "to me" in your comparison.

My experience is very different than yours. Codex and CC yield very differenty result both because of the harness differencess and the model differences, but niether is noticeably better than the other.

Personally, I like Codex better just because I don't have to mess with any sort of planning mode. If I imply that it shouldn't change code yet, it doesn't. CC is too impatient to get started.

I developed one for a specific personal research topic. Once I answered my question, the initiative petered out.

I've considered starting another based on the idea of getting high off knowledge. I don't see the point as an information store, but as a toy it makes sense; use it spark curiosity, make neat connections, etc.

This is the point I should have made. You've got more intelligence than the average human professional in the same role would give you.

Even the article acknowledges that the model used to do this test is flawed.

Google's AI Overview is incredible. It's an instant correct answer for self-verifying questions, and it's right most of the time for reasonably complex questions. If the first page of results would contain the answer to your question, and your question can be answered with only one prompt, it's right almost every time.
