You should put files on the cloud that meet the two following criteria:

1. Valuable to you
2. Not valuable to other people

This could include your hobbyist cad drawings, your twilight fan fic, or anything else that you need or don’t want to lose but has very little value to bad actors.

Is cloud storage a new concept to you? Have you not heard of iCloud or Google drive? Cloud backups make a lot of sense for a lot of people. Just don’t put sensitive information on there.

Machine learning is AI. I think the term you’re looking for is general artificial intelligence, and no one is claiming LLMs fall under that label.

Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungii. Yeast is also a fungus, but it does not produce mushrooms and calling it a mushroom is not accurate.

Yes, my comment was about Kyle Gass.

He made a joke saying he wished the assassination attempt on Trump was successful. I think you’re down playing that by just calling it a joke. I think it’s fine to hate Trump, but as a public figure it’s probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.

The thing is, if he had access to his hard drive at any point in the last 10 years or so he would have sold his Bitcoin long before it was this valuable, like many, many other people who used to own Bitcoin and aren’t currently millionaires. The fact that he lost his hard drive is the only reason it’s actually worth anything.

Why? They’re providing a service with that contract. NASA isn’t capable or doesn’t want to do everything in house. If they deem it beneficial to outsource some projects to contractors then what’s wrong with that?

Absolutely if private entities want to go to space they should be able to. What grounds would you block them on? This is not a substitution or replacement of public space agencies

I’ve driven through Oregon before back when you weren’t allowed to pump your own gas and it felt ridiculous and inconvenient waiting for an employee to come pump gas for you. But maybe that’s just because I’m accustomed to self serve.

For groceries it’s nice to have the option to do self checkout. If I have a small number of items then self checkout is faster/easier. If I have a large number of items then going through the line with the cashier is faster/easier.

Do you feel the same about self serve gas?

Everyone dreams every night, but not everyone remembers their dreams in the morning. I don’t remember my dreams most of the time.

YouTube has a transcribe feature you could use. Or you could keep scrolling if this content isn’t relevant to you.

Because it tastes good.

I believe they’re usually tempered so they don’t break in large pieces. They usually shatter into small rounded pieces. Source: My cousin broke our shower stall.

The bends doesn’t necessarily kill you. It definitely can if the decompression is fast enough with a large pressure differential, but it can also cause pain or dizziness without death.

It’s just a tool like any other. An experienced developer knows that you can’t apply every tool to every situation. Just like you should know the difference between threads and coroutines and know when to apply them. Or know which design pattern is relevant to a given situation. It’s a tool, and a useful one if you know how to use it.

Not really, it’s doable with chatgpt right now for programs that have a relatively small scope. If you set very clear requirements and decompose the problem well it can generate fairly high quality solutions.

Extremely misleading title. He didn’t say programmers would be a thing of the past, he said they’ll be doing higher level design and not writing code.

Communities tend to attract like minded individuals. It’s not that everyone is exactly the same, but those that are very different or have very different opinions don’t generally stay for long. That said, even within those like minded individuals there’s a wide spectrum of opinions.

For me there are a handful of topics I know I’ll get down voted for sharing, because it goes against the majority. And that’s fine, it doesn’t stop me from sharing my opinion, and I don’t really mind the downvotes. I think in general though as long as you’re able to share your opinion with nuance and self awareness, and it’s not something mean or hateful people will hear you out.
