How do you feel about chess?

You might as well play "who can memorize the most openings and lines"

Seems dismissive at first, but I interviewed a chess team captain once and he told me they prepared for upcoming matches by learning new lines they wanted to play and studying the lines the opposing school was deemed likely to play.

It is a memory game yes! But still you can choose what to memorise.

I read some of the article and skimmed the rest, and didn't see anything about old-fashioned search no longer being an option.

Is the idea that by making the new AI chat UX the default, that's how they're forcing people into it and making them not able to search? Or is there something I'm missing?

Second paragraph:

> Instead of returning a simple list of links, Google Search will drop users into AI-powered interactive experiences at times.

So basically you'd get redirect into a chatbot interface, rather than letting you browse search results as normal, "AI-powered interactive experience" tends to be euphemism for chatbot UIs, is my experience at least.

>at times

Yes, that is what every user ever wanted! A UI that just randomly changes!

I think that was the idea, that MAGAs would see "price discrimination" as a good thing, but "diverse pricing" as a bad thing.

Exhaustive brute force prompting is completely unfeasible. The number of potential prompts is impossibly large.

Psychologists and therapists have different specialties too, for mental differences. This is generally considered a good thing.

Hopefully he would be using the LLM as an enhanced search engine that can point him to relevant authoritative sources that he can use to fact-check its output. I have done that in the past to some effect.

People don’t understand they need to do that.

With that diversity of preferences, some organizations might also be willing and able to do rigorous testing of the updates that are most important to them.

It seems like a helpful efficiency to spread out the testing burden (both deliberate testing and just updating and running into unexpected issues). If everyone updated everything immediately, everyone would be impacted by the same problems at the same time, which seems suboptimal.

If you like Catholicism but struggle with the papacy, have you considered Eastern Orthodoxy?

Within Eastern Orthodoxy, I struggle with 2+ hour long services. :)

Jokes aside, there are only a couple in my area and they are ripe with tribalism and hard to approach. Appreciate your recommendation, though.

Do you even use two hands for shortcuts like copy and paste?

I use ctrl-c and ctrl-v for those. Right hand presses right control with palm of hand (just below pinky). Left hand types the letter like normal.

I just kind of roll my hand to the ctrl key, I don't use a finger to press it.

Same thing with right-ctrl.

Yes. And even considering the locations of C, X, and V on the QWERTY layout, I wouldn't type Control with any of those with one hand.

Yes.
