  • If you do want to write an leave in the history a coherent work, respect your readers, and develop your self-confidence:

    1. You don't use AI for writing as a... writer, at all;
    2. You read others writers/artists works;
    3. You temporary focus on works on writing coherently;

    You should actually consider what you want to tell to the world, to people, and why other people would choose and keep your book, and how it would support them in their adventures, solutions searches, keep the work and realize your idea... your message you actually wrote, inscribed in the veil of the infinitely magnificent history...

    AI will not help you as a writer but devalue your work.AI is not you or your hand. It's someone else, and is limited by some unknown algorithm.AI is noise. Are you sure you want to listen to noise? I believe you should read and listen to people.

    And... just imagine, please... what if you'd actually read a whole book, and at the very end found out it was written, even partially, by AI, or with AI "support"? Wouldn't it damage everything? Would it devalue all the experience? Why do we write and read anything, in the first place?

  • Holy gracious smokes... Such a marvelous work...The bird and the tail... the composition with the branch going upright in faith... the colors... the background unites with light so miraculously...The very top of the work is another kind of abstract art already...Thank you, dear Author and Nature... Ineffably magnificent... no words...

  • Holy gracious smokes... This is... such grace, strength, hope... ineffably magnificent... no... words...

  • W... w... what? This can't be serious...

    "I kept feeling these awful little wayward pieces brushing against my face, and I couldn’t think about anything else"...Telford spent most of her hour-long lunch break locked in her office, trying unsuccessfully to pin back the bangs..."I just can’t believe they didn’t fire me on the spot"..."Months of work down the drain all because my... bangs..."

    W... what? Not only the haircut looks normal to the point I do still believe the photo is not the person with the "bangs" but the author of the article! I mean... if this photo is supposed to present the "bangs" that "ruined" her work to the point she got almost "fired" and ruined her months-long work...? This is just wrong... This is not serious... It's impossible this is a serious case, I believe...

    It must be a joke, sorry... If it's not a joke... well... please do get yourself together... What kind of anxiety is that? You should focus on more important things, dear wonderful lady. Your "bangs" looks absolutely normal, I believe, and who even cares about these except you at this point? I didn't even notice anything wrong on that photo!

    Please... Of course, outer look is important and must be appropriate, but if you care so much about these "bangs" and consider them so awful they affect your work so significantly... well... you should find a hobby or something...

  • Just to clarify for the future, what does "MP" abbreviation mean?

  • I see. Thank you! That makes sense. This probably also proves my point of belief highlighting a school as a system mainly not for education but socialization in education. A system to educate in society and learn critical/common skills to socialize while learning together - realizing/educating together.

  • Just in case, homework != homeschooling. Homework is one of the most important/mandatory part of general common school process, I believe, that lets a person some private time to realize and memorize the subject in their own pace, and prepare for following public discussions and development.

  • Wonderful day!

    And again... I am sorry, but... why not just read about it, like... professional researches from both modern and ancient times, existing centuries... Why ask people to invest their priceless finite life time to, again, respond with a yet another set of written messages for the case of multiple expert/professional investigations/analyses around the planet?

    It's an incredibly responsible question for the parents/supervisors, and there are serious researches done for it. The answer affects the whole future of the child/person they will depend on all their ongoing life... and, hopefully, their own children...

    A school is not a home, in general, I believe. And "homeschooling" is not homework.One of main the main reason a school is exists is - socialization.That is, gaining skills of creating social connections, learn to educate yourself and deal with interruptions and distractions in social environments with so different people, worldviews, and beliefs, in attempt to find yourself and your own identity alongside other people.

    Since isn't the most important reason for these to help a person to socialize and get used to crowded or accompanied environments, to respect, care, tolerate, or live and do their research within other ultimately infinitely magnificent unique people?

    It's for the parents/family to decide, since every single child/person is different.I do normally stand against "homeschooling" ("wetdrying") and push towards a socialized organization like University, School, Kindergarten etc.

    The following is an excerpt from earlier discussions I've just found in personal notes (no AI/LLM):

    Socialization process has a significant impact on learning, which is a basic requirement for both the organization and the role performance of the newcomer to the organization. It is considered very important for a new member to socialize organizationally and professionally. This paper focuses on revealing the process of organizational and professional socialization of academicians.

    Friendships can positively impact students' academic performance and grade point average (GPA) by providing emotional support and reducing stress, thereby leading to improved focus and better concentration on studies.

    Peer connections and friendships often result in collaborative learning and the exchange of academic ideas, improving comprehension and retention of course materials, ultimately leading to higher GPAs...

    Academic success is assessed by gauging academic performance in the form of grade point average (GPA), test scores, and overall academic achievement, as well as the measurement of academic motivation and the level of persistence among students in school or college.

    Forming friendships with their peers is an important aspect of adolescents' and young adults' lives, and significant research has been conducted on how friends impact academic performance and motivation. Specifically, academic achievement and motivation have been found to positively correlate with belonging to a peer group.

    Currently, young people's need for a sense of community is particularly high, leading individuals to spend more time with their friends, feel more comfortable around friends than they do with family, and worry about how their friends will perceive them and how the local social milieu will view them.

    Researchers' concerns about how social networking sites affect different aspects of life, including education, are not surprising. Academic achievement has been linked favorably to social connections or peer interactions in the past.

    Of course, in a large population, there are going to be some success stories. But we have zero evidence that, on average, homeschooled students are doing well. There’s actually no way to learn how they do on average because homeschoolers don’t exist as a visible population due to the lack of regulation.

    There are claims being made in what is really junk social science that homeschooled students do just as well as kids in regular schools. But there is no justification for those claims. People making those claims are looking at a subset of the most successful homeschooled students.

    They’re looking at the ones who actually apply to college and go to college, and are assessing how they do in college compared to kids coming from public schools. Those studies tell us nothing about how well homeschoolers do on average.

    Most of the time when I overheard these women talking about their educational choice, and why they were doing it, the reasons seemed to have one thing in common.

    Can you guess what it was? Fear.

  • I am sorry, but what a... trolling and clickbait...

    At the exact same time, coding agents helped me iterate quickly and ship software that worked well (after some dutiful testing, of course). They were also, I found, excellent tutors...

    In the day to day of shipping agents into production...

    Recurse Center (RC) is a self-directed, full-time programming...

    Coming into RC, my goals were the following:- Train an LLM from scratch. This includes pre- and post-training, and I want to do this mostly from scratch; not just fork a premade codebase but write a Transformer myself....

    For example, a nice thing I picked up from someone I pair programmed with: when this guy was writing code and didn’t quite remember the syntax or operations, he would often just quickly open up a terminal and type a super simple example to rapidly iterate. He was usually able to work it out and verify if it worked correctly in less than a minute, and he didn’t have to google anything and comb through search results or ask an LLM.This technique might seem obvious to some, but making this process muscle memory has helped me become unstuck much faster....

    Soon I’ll be shipping agents to prod and running evals with a whole new bag of tricks and skills. But for now I’ve got 6 more weeks left at RC

  • I am sorry, but I never use LLM for my words, and I try omitting LLM-generated/formatted articles myself when noticed, since I do also have heartache whenever I see anything such.

    Meanwhile, it's also painful to constantly recently receive these "you act like AI", "you are a bot", "you use AI/LLM" etc. just because I've been trying to format my messages since at least 2010 keeping references with human finite priceless time invested into...These recent comments devalue, defame, and basically disrespect you a human who just tries to keep it organized for others.

    It's a dear sorrow since nowadays your attempts to stay accountable are getting ridiculed and devalued to void.

    I am sorry... for my formatting that cause you any trouble... but what can I do? The world won't care, but some do still try formatting their words in public at least somehow, without these "lol", "kek"... and some hopefully proper punctuation.

    Not to mention:- LLM-looking "em-dashes" I removed from the source (e.g. origin's "...explicit content — including inappropriate...");- Escaped list prefixes (i.e. \- instead of -) so to not cause Markdown render it with huge spaces between list items;- Created a web-archived version and noted in the source reference line between "[]", just in case.

    Yet, who cares, right? You likely didn't even notice.

    These comments... make you feel empty, regretful, and sometimes cause a headache I got when I read your comment with 2 other people calling me a bot today. Such an awesome time to live, indeed.

    Related:- https://lemmy.world/comment/21429322 (Nor will use any LLM in my work, art, or research… I prefer people, communication, discoveries, effort, creativity, and human art…)- https://lemmy.world/post/45344022 ("Unpolished human websites" ~ I want to read your words, your mistakes, your opinions, what's on your mind...)

  • Thank you! Hurray! A yet another brand new credentials "local-first" cloud with very transparent and intuitive brand name, that is going to be "responsible" for "decades" (hopefully years) of storing and maintaining someone's credentials with undisclosed infrastructure, legal terms in cases of the credentials leaked during a bug (e.g. at E2EE/secure channel session), and no actual comparison stated between the current competitors, including DotEnv cloud service, BitWarden, 1Password, KeePass-based etc.!

    No, sorry, I, nor anyone I know, would trust credentials to any organization with so little transparency and lack of guarantees, also considering audited alternatives.

    Oh, and indeed, where is the key card? Is it in an ASCII art somewhere in documentation?

    The design is nice, however, but... may I ask, how much non-AI work was done, if any?

  • Wonderful day! Looks not bad, but doesn't look perfect, sorry. Yet, there's progress it seems!Generally:

    1. Clean both platforms for the join, and the soldering iron;
    2. If the solder does not come with flux, apply a proper flux to the both ends (flux must be compatible with the metal);
    3. Heat and apply a solder to the first fluxed end;
    4. Heat and apply a solder to the second fluxed end;
    5. Heat and join to ends together;

    I've been into electronics for almost two decades, and I relatively recently noticed the following video that you may find interesting. It is more modern than books and quickly summarizes the principles to be researched manually further if required (e.g. in books):- Do This Before You Solder Anything

    I believe it mostly comes with practicing, and experiments with an iron that has a temperature indicator should support it.

  • I am sorry, but isn't it 99% not about "children protection" but general surveillance for everyone wrapped up in a "pretty" package that plays, again, on fears as the parenting and unforeseen future backed up with the "time-saving" features for those who are in a hurry within the same system?

  • Is there a historical/educational reference regarding the recycle logo side/design change decision in 2001, and its returned in 2006?

  • Freaking awesome work! I'm not into Windows myself much since decades, but I do see a great effort and experience in the many author's blog articles... Thank you... for the miracles and great art you do, dear @oxfemale...
