I really need supervision.

No, really, I am a danger to myself and others. Please keep an eye on me

About what time should I come over?

See my comment to OP for a recentish publication that shows the same thing all studies previously have shown. You are quite correct.

No one that has looked at this in a serious way agrees with you.

From the abstract:

“These results suggest that the movements involved in handwriting allow a greater memorization of new words. The advantage of handwriting over typing might also be caused by a more positive mood during learning. Finally, our results show that handwriting with a digital pen and tablet can increase the ability to learn compared with keyboard typing once the individuals are accustomed to it.”

Handwriting helps retention better than typing.

Wow, thanks for that. I struggled for decades and also had a difficult time after a breakthrough. I describe it as being released from a long stint in prison, but there is no one to pick you up at the gate. There’s still a long walk ahead of you.

Yeah things are much better now, but my life path is still altered forever, there’s no going back.

True, but such a shame.

What the Hell even is that?

Yeah, that’s the way I write. It’s the other way around though. LLM are trained on a lot of academic writing.

So I guess, LLM sound like me?

Every damn time I speak.

I’m sometimes exhausting…

I agree, and perhaps some deep diving to find an older dot matrix printer? Should be supremely hackable. I only have experience with these:

Next-gen teletypes

They were extremely durable and low maintenance. Also loud and more stress inducing than a modern SMS notification.

Good times

That was a complete rabbit hole. Thanks.

The only thing possibly more epic would be converting a Linotype to a Linux terminal. It uses hot lead to create type for newspapers, etc.

I was trained to use one as there were so many in use they still have some niche applications for specialty printing.

Anyhow, I call them Satan’s Typewriters and still have small scars from hot lead all over my forearms. And I love technology.

A good film:

Linotype: The Film

Isn’t not wanting to work your whole life and still freeze to death under a bridge such an entitled attitude?

My favorite feature of being a lefty is how well we get along with each other.

My favorite lefties work on themselves and seek to genuinely understand the roots of any disagreement.

At the best of times, they cut through the crap by aligning with me on the basic values we all hold. Such as:

• Don’t kill babies to get free real estate.
• People who rape kids need to be stopped.
• Don’t intentionally starve the population of your country because the potatoes they grew fetched a higher price internationally.

Isn’t this everyone’s experience?

Training can be reinforced by opining on said media at work, with friends and online. Feedback from these other models in the form of their own wrong opinions about the media reinforces one’s own model to always be right.

You are absolutely correct that is a major theme, especially in the Foundation books. To be fair, Asimov also buried that point in ponderous prose and scattered it across centuries of book-time.

I think Goyer did the best one could do in adapting Foundation to visual media. He had to invent and re-imagine a lot in order to give continuity and cohesion to a sprawling story. If he had stayed more true to the books, it would have flopped instantly.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

Remember that one time Jesus lost his cool? He made a whip and went H.A.M. on some crypto bros in the temple.

So yeah….

I hope Zelensky goes back to comedy after his political career. So much source material!

Nerdwallet has a recent article on this. One makes less than a minimum wage job once all expenses and time are accounted for. The only benefit to the driver is flexibility. It’s the same story for ridesharing too.

bupkis, that’s what

Doordash has a market cap of ~106 billion, so . . .

How have you found them useful? I have not yet been able to find a practical use.
