One of the problems with using AI currently is getting the right prompting to get the results close to what you want. Hell, there’s AI for writing prompting. So you either learn some programming by doing it yourself like the AI did, trial and error, or maybe look at the code as the AI builds it and fixes bugs…or learn how to prompt well enough to get results faster. I can’t say which is easier, faster, or better, things are changing rapidly.

I will add that having the right LLM for coding helps. One that is trained specifically on programming rather than a general LLM.

I think the first episode of SNW will hook you. So good.

Wages not keeping in step with inflation is exactly why everything seems so expensive. $30k of today’s money is the equivalent of less than $10k in the 80’s, and cars were more than $10K then except for a few that ended up being examples of “you get what you pay for”.

I should probably state that as “wage increases being suppressed”.

Guess no one at Microsoft realized people use computers differently and more options is always better than one. Or they intended to have the option and either forgot to include it or it was buggy. Either way it was #2 on my “how do you disable this” list, and I had to deal with it for a while. I get how grouping can be good for some things, but when you want to be able to bounce between various windows and some happen to use the same app, it was a pain.

Even the small things. When work upgraded to Win11 overnight and I logged into the Start being in the middle, I almost lost it. Yes, I could fix it, and a few other things, but I had a moment.

There’s an entry in Memory Alpha with a few other references, one being Peter David novels where it is an actual creature.

I can’t head canon the TNG images as there’s a lot of “hidden” filler stuff that’s been found that doesn’t make sense and are inside jokes. But I could rationalize Sulu’s statement based on some of the background created in novels with his family history, cranes and such, and maybe he’s extrapolating it. The early episodes were not the best to use for canon stuff anyway, as they hadn’t figured lots of things out yet. Have we ever seen sentient plants since this?
