I think that educators go to the bank account example, because it is easy to explain + (I suspect) non-modifyable bank ledger with add-only transactions is the source of this pattern. In real world I've applied event sourcing to following domains: insurance policy, anniversary process (your policy ends, new one begins, emails are sent, payment subscriptions restart etc = both replayable / non-replayable operations), different payment flows, can answer questions (am not OP) :)
>that was repeated until all involved parties stoped misbehaving.
The canning would vastly shorten the time span on which all parties stop misbehaving while the bullying continues. I was bullied as a kid and the school didn't do anything. When my father tried to reason with the bully's family he discovered they were just awful, violent people, bullies, all of them. When he came home, frustrated, he sat me and said something like "uhm, well, ok, listen, I went to talk to the boy's parents and... well... the next time he bothers you just beat the shit out of him. I'll deal with the school" and the quoted the motto of my country: "by reason or by force". Some things just works faster than diplomacy and all shit get sorted out without extending the suffering for most parties involved.
Never heard of this before. Is it a real thing? I mean, in the context of psychedelics experiencies. I've tried DMT a few times expecting the legendary all-healing trip everyone talks about but never worked.
It seems here the guard rails at failure were the llm users right? Whatever guard rails you can think may be useless against the superior human stupidity.
>the rate of publishing (according to the linked Twitter account) is very rapid.
I've written almost 50 blog posts in the last 3 years. All in draft, never published mostly because a crippling imposter syndrome and fear of criticism. But every now and then I wake up full of confidence and think "this is it. today I'll click publish I don't give a fuck. All in". Never happens. Maybe this author was in the same boat until a month ago. I know there's a high chance that's just a bot but I can understand if it's not and how devastating has to be to overcome the fear of showing your thoughts to the world and being labeled a bot. If it's not already obvious English is not my first language and I've used LLMs to check my grammar and improve the style. Maybe all my posts smell like chatpgt now and this just adds to the fear of being dismissed as slop.
LLMs do not currently improve the style of typical HN writing. Maybe someday they will; this article is less painfully bad than those of a few months ago.
The main problem with this article is that it appears to have been basically written out of whole cloth by the LLM, there’s no novel insight here about Ada beyond what you could fit in a short prompt + the Wikipedia article.
