Sounds like a great way to get robbed

I ride a cargo bike through the city, probably 100 miles of commuting through a downtown corridor every week. Pedestrians are basically zero worry relative to cars and people on those rental scooters.

I have an e-assist on mine, so I can absolutely outrun anyone menacing, and biking so much gets you in healthy enough shape that most folks think, "Nah, I'll wait for an easier target." And if that didn't do the trick, pepper spray is a reasonable option.

People on foot are really, really not the worry. Mindless drivers who think they are invincible so they don't pay attention to their environment are FAR more dangerous.

Think of it this way - if it's stated in your contract that you shouldn't and you do it, there may be companies that are more lax, but will use it as ammunition if they need to get rid of you for whatever reason. If there are specific things that limit your typical workflow, maybe worth taking it up with the relevant department first.

I think a lot of group courses/recorded courses don't work/lead people to give up because the context provided is not intuitive to everyone's mind and requires significant googling (or ChatGPT chats) for a concept to click before moving on.

Having that ability to pause and clarify with for as long as needed (and have it dumbed down as much as needed) seems like a step in the right direction.

Yes. I was really happy, when I discovered GPT3, because I could ask infinit „but why“s without being worried about annoying the tutor. Would be great, if the LLMs wouldn’t be such push-overs. I’d like to hear more „you’re wrong!“.

Question to those who post about work they've done while employed at a large company - how much do you take into account employer confidentiality clauses? Is there a good 'rule of thumb' checklist of rules to tick away ahead of posting?

Guys don't worry just set every seventh letter to Times New Roman!

I'm trying to imagine what a possible use case would be for this. Any simple examples?

Almost any integration with computer systems would need some structured format, let’s say you want to write an intelligent file manager where you could prompt to “find a file that ends in Final”, and with enough instructions the LLM might give you back something like:

  {
    “command”: “find”,
    “param”: { “type”: “regex”,     “value”: “[^.]*Final\.[^.]*” }
  }

which you can actually interpret and execute for the user. But I’m absolutely a novice at anything ML, so take my comments with a grain of salts.

Some 'neobanks' like Revolut help deal with this type of thing - you can create a temporary card to sign up and scramble it whenever you please. Great for trials or indeed annoying subscriptions.

This is a threat to English learning book publishers. It literally generates a reading comprehension test.
