    Never considered that Europeans don’t know the wonderful sensation of 110v. It can vary from a slight tingle (it’s not even tingle, but I can’t describe it) to a “holy shit” moment that throws you back, depending on how and where you touched it and how much current flows. The great thing about A/C is the cycle, unlike a DC current which can lock your muscles and keep you from letting go.










  • Different inputs, but same brain. Sometimes you need to focus better and having other unrelated distractions around will make that hard to do.

    This is also why talking on even a hands-free phone is more dangerous than talking to someone in the car. If something sudden occurs, the person with you usually will stop talking, while on the phone they probably won’t know and keep going, adding to the background noise and maybe being a factor in your ability to handle the situation.





  • Yes, and no. It’s not all fake, there’s stuff going on, it’s just not what they’re selling it to be, and highly pushed into places it needs to stay away from, for safety and for inability. My takeaway on him being surprised as how people aren’t impressed isn’t the LLM factor of what it can do (well or not), it’s that HE isn’t aware that other LLMs are doing better than Microsoft’s version. He really is deep if he doesn’t know what the competition has. That’s why there’s a lackluster interest (as well as burnout of AI “solutions” for every damn thing, often worse than just doing it like before).

    My coworkers use Co-Pilot. When they have downtime, just for amusement, just to see how badly it mangles things it ought to be good at doing. Never mind the fringes where an LLM isn’t suited at all.
