“The reason that tech generally — and coders in particular — see LLMs differently than everyone else is that in the creative disciplines, LLMs take away the most soulful human parts of the work and leave the drudgery to you,” [the author] says. “And in coding, LLMs take away the drudgery and leave the human, soulful parts to you.”

My email uses greylisting which is where the first email received from a server gets a “busy” response - the idea being that spammers just fire and forget whereas real mailers will retry.

Unfortunately, some senders take so long to resend that it’s timed out. The second time will work though. Unless they have multiple servers. Some have so many servers that you have to do this a multitude of times until you lose the will to login or forget what you were going to do anyway.

In my head, Japan is sitting there wearing lederhosen as a disguise.

I’m still deciding how much I agree or disagree with this. It’s true that they do cite books which you often can’t read online, but adding information backed up by a paywalled proof feels a bit “trust me bro”. E.g.

You’re absolutely right, I’ll edit my comment. Thanks for the catch.

Disgraceful, old-fashioned actions from the unnamed diving certifiers insurer - and, as the major diving insurance company (based in Malta) is DAN World Insurance Group SP, it’s clear that DAN puts their reputation above child safety.
