Fantastic, how long have you had it for out of curiosity since you said you got it recently? I'm also wondering as to the longevity of these laptops

Does the same apply for hibernation? My current behavior is to hibernate my machine manually before shutting the lid anyway so I don't think that would bother me too much (though it would be nice to have a machine that will suspend properly)

I can live with that, my thinkpad won't sleep properly at the moment anyway (I've taken to just running systemctl hibernate before closing the lid, I should probably set that to the default behaviour instead of suspend at some point)

Putting things out of your mind doesn't mean you can't take action though

If the only reasonable thing I can do to make a change to a situation is to cast a vote there's no point worrying about it until I actually have the opportunity to do that

Is the intelligent thing not to be to recognise when things are out of your control and put them out of your mind

Exactly. It's good at generating anything you know well enough that you'll instantly spot the errors, but it shouldn't be used for anything you aren't fully comfortable with doing by hand

I think things like helix and neovim are more about the dopamine hit from hitting the exact right sequence of buttons to make the change you want

Definitely feel faster using helix than vscode though, even just stuff like m+i+" (select all within quotes, brackets etc)

Personally I think it's useful for pretty much anything you already understand

If you only use it to generate code to do things you already understand it saves you a lot of time and mental stamina by only having to proofread rather than write from scratch

Exactly, it's so rare to actually see anyone using it who knows how to use it as a tool rather than a magic do everything machine

If people aren't getting anything out of llms they're using them wrong.

If you blindly copy paste code you don't understand from chatgpt there's obviously a problem

Get it to generate single functions at a time with the requirements clearly defined and then actually read over the code and it's an amazing tool

Yep that I imagine is one of the main intended use cases, in my case would probably be overkill though

Got adblock and yt premium, that way the creators I watch still benefit

Also especially if you get a family plan and split the cost it's really not too bad, £5 a month seems pretty reasonable to me for yt plus music
