I heard a story of an American student in Beijing asking for "paigu mien" (pork rib noodles), but he rather confused the waitress by asking for "pigu mien", bottom (arse) noodles!
Pour a cup of java and write it down in javascript.
"We noticed you're good at solutions when things are mixed up - so we'd like to offer you a job in a warehouse."
Of course not. Sysadmin skills are good for pouring the drinks, not managing the restaurant.
I see people's comments that it's technically a fact derived from your date of birth, and doesn't require superstition. But I have no idea of which sign lines up with my birthday, so I propose some different questions:
Which Chinese emperor was born in the same lunar year as you?
According to the office of national statistics, how many people born on your birthday in Northern Europe were called John?
How many days is it from your fourth birthday to the nearest February 29th?
This reminds me of hearing that contestants on some reality show would sing Disney songs in the background whenever they wanted to talk to each other and not have it go on air.
I only dabble, but I really like Julia. Has several language and architecture features I really like compared to python. Also looks like the libraries have been getting really good since last I used it much.
Democracy also means allowing the people to form and discuss their ideas, on their own terms, whether sane or stupid. Not because that's necessarily best, but because that's democracy - authority belongs to the people not to their government.
The responsibility to lead and guide people's ideas, in a democracy, does not lie in the strict control of government, it lies elsewhere. Where that elsewhere is, of course, everyone will argue differently. But not, I think, in governmental control.
That brings up a good point that I think most comments have missed. These days it's well accepted to caricature professional programming as cribbing from Stack Overflow and Google.
Both are great tools, if used as tools, with an understanding of their weaknesses and the ability yourself to make something correct from what you've learnt.
Perhaps we need to think more about how to teach people to get the best use out of LLMs the same way we get use out of Google, Wikipedia and calculators.
"It looks like you're trying to find eternal salvation and the power to live a good life. May I assist you?"
Out goes one kind of naivete, "Gramma said it so it's right," and in comes another: "the LLM has spoken; this is universal truth, not Gramma's small-minded rubbish." But now we can be smug against ol' boomer Gramma, so we lap it up all the more dearly.
DM: The dragon turns on the rest of the party.
Party, who are made up of bards: Wait! I think I know what the dragon wants...
New quest dropped: learn rock and roll, and the dragon will join your band.
