Headlines, that are sentences

Headline that goes "A was this" and next headline "Then b was that".


>AI lets me offload things that I don't need to know and frees up my brain to push farther than I could before.

How can you push your brain go farther than ever, when you don't use it for the basic task?

Higher Math does not work without understanding "lower" Math, running long runs does not work without starting on shorter runs. Thinking about complicated staff will probly not work, if you can't think about the easy stuff.

One can not learn a language without vocabulary and skipping learning verbs in a foreign language, because dictionaries exists does not bring one closer to being able to speak.


I agree that when you're building mathematical understanding, you have to do it brick by brick. But the fact of the matter is it's been decades since I did a long division problem by hand. AI lets me jump into areas that I would previously have had to spend a month studying before I could begin building - That's what I mean by it lets me reach farther, faster.


You don't always have to do division by hand. I would make the argument that it's probably good to do it occasionally. At least enough to remember how.


I used OpenSuse with KDE version just until 3 month ago and never had any wifi problems.

I ued the KDE OS before and had no problem.

I am currently using Bazzite (seeing if it is actually better than other Linux OSes) with KDE and never had a problem. Many problems occured, but wifi wasn't one of them.


Yes, it is what I found works so well. It is easy to write short, specific functions in Elixir and adding Typespecs to theses functions is like typing a block of code. Within the functions everything is "easily" understandable.

Input > Enumerable.Map(Input, type-speccd functionA) > Enumerable.Map(Input, type-speccd functionB)


>The smart student uses the LLM as a proctor or provide challenges and feedback on attempts rather than an easy button.

Yeah, this is how we used wolframalpha for Math as students. Whatever we had to do, we did it ourself as a group of three. Afterwards we checked with Wolframaplha to see if we were correct. If there were any difference between us, we went line by line to find where the error appeared.

It was helpful, because we did it ourself, but because the work was graded, we had the security, that it is not a total failure.


>The vibe coding got the project attention and it looks like he's going to get the help he needed.

I guess vibecoding certain software is now the new way of "instead of asking for help, write the wrong solution instead".


Not saying that's the case here, but in a way that's how it's always worked. Ask for help, get little to no response. But break something and people respond in a hurry, especially if it somehow affects them.


The horse racing game was the first program I programmed in school.

randint(1..6) per horse and watching them race was the "drug", that made me follow programming as a career.


"ss" is a different sound in German.

Trasse (line/ train path) vs Straße (street)


Still, when ß is not available one can use ss to represent it. Same with l and ł etc


generated hours...I can find bugs as a developer easily, the rest comes from the user.

The good bugs from AI are bug neither developer nor user has found, so it is more work.


I, not the previous writer, have and PSG did exactly this. It made writting compact GUIs for smaller projects manageable without going into the deeps of GTK, win32 or QT.

I tried a bunch of Frameworks and some were easier (PSG, Kivi) and others much harder.
