Weekend against Bernie

World War z had a good section on why conventional warfare vs zombies fails. (Headshot x volume > ammunition)

I want a quake rated home, which must be wood.

This isn’t true in Japan.

This is a valid athletic technique. Usually achieved by training at altitude.

There were 8, but sorrow got rolled into sloth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins

Not even buying Apple will net you any short term money.

Better to bet on the superbowl (or whatever sports knowledge you possess).

I think authorship of the 7 sins would be given to Pope Gregory I in AD 590.

Probably out of copyright now.

At least you … have job security?

Andrew Kevin Walker must have been a genius to come up with those 7 sins.

There are definitely clubs. Harvard clubs, Mckinsey clubs, Goldman Sachs clubs, masons rotary clubs.

But only people who did MBAs together are in the same club. The qualification means next to nothing, only the specific personal connections made.

This doesn’t ring true. How are you defining this homogenous class?

I’ve witnessed some awful management consultants.

The only thing diferentianting them from Apple now is the pricing, which hasn’t reached outrageous levels ( yet ).

Software is priced at Apple levels.

The MBA class is much more endangered than developers. Power point slides, project plans, strategy reviews are all well within a LLMs capabilities.

Why hire an MBA when chatgpt produces x10 quality & volume at a fraction of the cost.

I have one in my car, but the glovebox is where things get forgotten.

Maybe a small Swiss Army knife would be a good investment.

I understand the logic, but I’ve never been in a situation when I thought “I wish I had a pocket knife”

Thank you. I knew it looked familiar.

Al gebra - ‘the reunion of broken parts’,

It seems to be members only.

‘agents’ just interact with other programs.

If that other program is, say, a python terminal then can’t LLMs be trained to use agents to solve problems outside their area of expertise?

I just tested chatgpt to write a python program to return the frequency of letters in a string, then asked it for the number of L’s in the longest placename in Europe.

‘’‘’

String to analyze

text = “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch”

Convert to lowercase to count both ‘L’ and ‘l’ as the same

text = text.lower()

Dictionary to store character frequencies

frequency = {}

Count characters

for char in text: if char in frequency: frequency[char] += 1 else: frequency[char] = 1

Show the number of 'l’s

print(“Number of 'l’s:”, frequency.get(‘l’, 0))

‘’’

I was impressed until

Output

Number of 'l’s: 16
