A practice that I find helpful is repeating back what I thought I heard. This gives evidence to the other person you are paying attention and provides an opportunity for immediate corrections if I got something wrong.

I also agree with other people of not depending on your brain. Computers are very good at remembering precisely what you tell them. They also offer reminders for variable amounts of time before. I have had Google calendar events with reminders set for 1 week, 1 day, and 1 hour before a single event.

I think a part of the problem with current AI is that it's trying to be an expert on all things. Humans can have similar issues, were they are legitimately an expert in one field and makes them over confident in other areas. So current AI is a better bit then a newb at lots of things and over confident. Haveing models with more focused training would improve how useful they are.

Like your example, it would be great to have an AI that is focused on how to do good research and doesn't try to be an "expert" on anything else.

I have been using it for documentation a lot recently. I find tweaking/correcting it's 70% correct comments to be less time/effort than writing it myself from nothing. I think part of it is using Cunningham's law on myself.

I don't think it's about anthropomorphizing the tool, it's about expressing appreciation for the tool. Showing appreciation to a wrench may being as simple as making sure that you clean, oil, and properly put it away when your done using it. The tool is not a conscious entity, but the mindset of appreciation will make you more likely to properly care for the object resulting it being useful to you for longer.

Yeah. AI is an interesting tool. I have good success in asking for mostly small specific bits of functionality that I then integrate into a larger script. It also helps with rubber duck programing by requiring me to more clearly specify requirements.

No, he is being attacked because he publicly contradicted Trump. If do anything Trump perceives as "making him look bad", he will attack you.

So was what I said. I was presenting a hypothetical way they justify their ridiculous claims by doing something else ridiculous.

But conveying tone in text is difficult, so I'm not surprised you missed what I was going for.

To be fair. We assume "months" means less than 2 years. But 10 years can also be "months", and is probably a more realistic timeline.

The reason is that it takes a lot of emotional intelligence and strength to admit that you have been scammed. These people will find it less emotionally painful to deny reality then admit their mistakes.

The challenge is that in reality you have to keep making the choice. Nothing changes with one grand proclamation. Maybe it starts there, but it means nothing without backing it up with hundreds of other choices.

I know one personal challenge I am working on is judging myself by my best day. Everyone has variance of capability day to day. Beating myself up because everyday isn't my best day is silly.

I would stay away from kubernets/k3/k8s. Unless you want to learn it for work purposes, it's so overkill you can spend a month before you get things running. I know from experience. My current setup gives you options and has been reliable for me.

NAS Box: Truenas Scale - You can have UnRaid fill this role.

Services Hosting: Proxmox - I can spin up any VMs I need and lots of info online to do things like hardware passthrough to VMs.

Containers: Debian VM - Debian makes a great server environment as it's stable and well supported. I just make this VM a docker swarm host. I managed things with Portainer for a web interface.

I keep data on the NAS and have containers access it over the network. Usually a NFS share.
