Except those bombs and a gun to the face.

What have millennials put effort into except complain about how much things are worse for them? At Least Gen X had the fortitude to say ‘huck it, I just don’t care and won’t participate’.

Shhh, chronically online white youth don’t want to talk about that. Hell if you were a woman you couldn’t even have a bank account on your own until 1974.

No, they couldn’t afford groceries then either. Goodness. Like do people forget the oil crisis in the 70’s? Wonder why so many receipes came out about Jello and microwaves?

Unfortunately that isn’t even true either.

May want to look into those states… In my 16 year olds can easily drive without an adult. They are limited (can’t drive at night) but are allowed to drive. This the case in a ton of states.

Meh, knowing people that have been t-boned and are permanently disabled because they drove too small of cars, the unfortunate reality is newer cars are safer, larger, and you are more likely to survive. They are also more expensive. But hey, when your teenage daughter ends up a paraplegic in your 10 year old hatch back, maybe you will feel something about not buying a safer vehicle. At least you saved a few bucks.

That’s exactly it. Wiping ‘evidence’ in front of law enforcement means instant jail. In certain areas of the world it’s far worse punishment. I have a feeling a lot of people here have never visited Russia, even in the most ‘friendly’ of times.

I don’t think the Chinese will lose anything. They are investing knowing AI will be the future and making it cheap and accessible. Same thing they are doing with EVs and green technology.

Perhaps. Every senior dev I have talked to absolutely is using AI right now. Slop code is relative.

AI tools are now common practice in the hospital and are approved by the FDA. Might want to keep up with how rapid the space is changing. COmpnaies are now literally using Claude to accelerate drug development.

Even in the US many states allow kids to start driving as early as 15 under learning permits. It’s funny we don’t want social media companies putting controls in due to freedom of speech, but then tell parents they are responsible to control their kids. Seems like there is a middle ground, and when a person abuses that control, they go to jail.

Basically all modern vehicles unfortunately.

Funny, so never would your brain be wrong? You never ever have to reference a book or wiki or anything for your knowledge? You must be a special kind of person then, and one who quickly wouldn’t have new information.

Since you know what 2 x 2 is because you know how to multiply, it’s pretty easy to go ‘hmm, that doesn’t seem correct, let me try something else here’.

But you do not have domain level knowledge of all subjects, and can’t memorize everything. Perhaps you know there are resources for that, and it’s more important to know how to access and synthesize information rather than stuff it into a squishy brain that more often than not get’s ‘memories’ incorrect.

Absolutely agree. But the car certainly made horses overall obsolete when it comes to standard transportation.

I disagree. For me it’s helped with curiosity as it lets me explore topics and problem solving I haven’t been able to because I don’t know how to fully finish something. Oh there is this great github project I would like to run, but it’s linux only, is it possible to integrate this on my mac and add the following to it. Sure enough, LLM helps get you through it, you document the process, and boom now you have learned something new.

You may be a chef and use your recipe book to make recipes, especially ones you haven’t make much, your experience tells you what substitutions you can make, what tweaks you can make, and how to create new recipes. All without memorization.

the analogy at the end doesn’t really make sense. the goal of wriiting cursive was to speed up the ability to record information via text. typing and the ubiquity of computers has basically made cursive vestigial

Damn, almost the perfect analogy. Technology and tools make humans able to do things faster, more effectively and often more accurately.

but would you trust a mechanic to fix your car after a crash, or properly diagnose if it was totaled, if he had to ask you where the manual is for your car first?

You recognize that most mechanics would literally have Hayes manuals to do exactly that right?

I swear, it’s like folks don’t think before they type. Everyone uses reference information to pull from. Law books, medical books, scientific papers. No way do you memorize all or even the majority of it. You use these materials because you know how to look up information quickly, and the information is accurate, so you synthesize ideas and thoughts around it.

You can? That’s impressive. Because you multiplication tables do nothing for you when you start getting into multi digit calculations. The important part is learning how to conduct multiplication, then after that you often will let a tool do it for you.

Funny, they literally already are doing that. Projections in surgery to help surgeons find target tissues and help them you know, remove the tissues they are supposed to.
