- refsab parent@Grok is this true
- I've found the most useful LLM UIs for me are tree-like with lots of branches where you go back and forth between your prompts. You branch off anywhere, edit top or leafs as you go.
If one branch doesn't work out you go back to the last node that gave good results or the top and create another branch with a different prompt from.
Or if you want to ask something in a different direction but don't want all the baggage from recent nodes.

- I'm a counterpoint to this.
Outstanding IC wanting to get into management for job security / ageism. Turned out to be a bad manager too focused on team and unable to effectively manage up and sideways.
I'm now a consultant. Ageism is suddenly on my side in consulting. Coding until I die.
- I'm using Binance P2P. By far the cheapest way to transfer funds from rich to poor countries.
Have used Wise in the past because it's very convenient to use but they are just extremely expensive compared to P2P crypto.
Also they don't support many countries or only support one direction.
Not a crypto bro and very critical of crypto fads normally but this use case actually works for a regular person like me.
Going to try Xoom though and check their rates. Hadn't heard of them.
- Being white farang and having lived in Thailand for 6 years now I immediately got what he was saying.
Maybe you should consider you might not have the full context of the conversation instead of launching into a rant.
The farang only for white people is something that just comes up here sometimes. At one point we tried to get the Thai colleagues to call black expats "farang dam". Didn't catch on haha.
Foreigner tax is the correct way to call it because pricing in national parks is tied to citizenship not race
- I know. It's a nightmare. Several people I used to admire in the space have succumbed to the NFT virus. All they do now is shill for their latest 'drops'.
The demo scene this is not anymore. It used to be about fun, experimentation and showing off mad coding (and lately ml) skills. Now it's a pyramid scheme. I'm unsubscribing.
Or maybe I'm just getting old
- Went freelance at 43. Turns out a bit of white hair and experience is actually considered valuable. Pretty much same dev job, contracts usually renewed every 6 months and three to four times the money. I only accept 100% remote if that's your kind of thing. It's a great time to be an experienced dev. Just don't try to compete with the SV crowd.
- I'm guessing he means something like this

Or any of these

- As someone who has been a part of the demo scene in the 90s I find this offensive.
Generative art can be a wildly creative process on par with anything a painter works through. It's just a different medium.
The way you express yourself through art is not threatened by people choosing other ways using different tools. Painting did not become obsolete because someone invented art photography.
I do agree with the sentiment about NFT 'artists' though. Copy pasting a colab notebook, replacing a string and selling the result as NFT is just idiotic.
I wonder who the bigger fool is. The one who sells or the one who buys.

- A book called The Culture Map goes into this. You basically have low confrontational and high confrontational cultures.
I found that understanding the differences helped a lot when I started work in an extremely culturally diverse company.
