Nice, I'm a pluviophile, and really like this one: https://rainbowhunt.com

honestly ive been thinking about this stuff too. a hypothetical forum you could only log on to read if you idled on a certain page for 15 mins or something would probably have a lot higher standard of discussion and be a lot better for peoples lives, for example.

The most minute of barriers requiring you to deliberately and consciously join and leave...

Aw man, this sounded like just my kind of place. But...

Apparently I'm too dull to even have a FB account. I know it's a bit tongue in cheek, but in the name of maximum dullness, something with UX closer to this site seems much more appropriate than a Facebook group.

I find LLMs 100x more productive for greenfield work.

If I want to create a React app with X amount of pages, some Redux stores, Auth, etc. then it can smash that out in minutes. I can say "now add X" and it'll do it. Generally with good results.

But when it comes to maintaining existing systems, or adding more complicated features, or needing to know business domain details, a LLM is usually not that great for me. They're still great as a code suggestion tool, finishing lines and functions. But as far as delivering whole features, they're pretty useless once you get past the easy stuff. And you'll spend as much time directing the LLM to do this kind of this as you would just writing it yourself.

What I tend to do is write stubbed out code in the design I like, then I'll get an LLM to just fill in the gaps.

These people who say LLMs make them 100x more productive probably are only working on greenfield stuff and haven't got to the hard bit yet.

Like everyone says, the first 90% is the easy bit. The last 10% is where you'll spend most of your time, and I don't see LLMs doing the hard bit that well currently.

I think his original sentence was absolutely deserved—even though the charge of hiring a contract killer to assassinate his business competition may have been dropped, I think it's clear he did many things in the same vein. Even if you support his original pursuit of a free and open online marketplace, I think most people would agree he took it a bridge too far in the end.

That said, I do think he absolutely deserved to be released, not because he didn't deserve to be locked up in the first place, but because he's clearly been rehabilitated and has done great work during his time in prison. All that considered, ten years seems like a not unreasonable prison sentence for what he did. I hope he'll continue to do good when he's released.

Typically you both say a greeting then a conversation starts.

> Instead of being polite, you are just making the other person wait for you to phrase your question, which is lost productivity.

Please don't count every second of your life in productivity lost to someone else.

The root of the problem might be frustration with not getting something done, and that needs your reflection.

Or just wake up 3 seconds earlier, and if worried about lost sleep, get to sleep 3 seconds earlier or in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger "sleep faster."
