@Richboy50 mistakes are part of being human, but twice in a row just feels ... there was no effort to actually improve, no mindset to apologise other than the minimum effort "try again".

When driving, teach your kids to count cyclists, so it becomes second nature to them to look for cyclists, once they start driving.

@spacepupsilver.com software has the same six fingers issues other forms of generative AI has. It's harder to spot because it is very good at looking right on the surface. Even before this, I think verifying code was always a bigger problem than generating it. A lot of software is about to get a […]
