I'm making a second pot of coffee, trying to straddle the line between "Caffeine can increase anxiety" and self-medicating my scattered attention span today.
I think LLMs are basically the new generation of code templating engines, except that they are way more context aware and less fiddly to set up, at the cost of some present day output quality issues.

I have done my best to stay informed about $CONTENTIOUS_ISSUE. I read what I can about it, and hope I'm informed enough that my opinions about $CONTENTIOUS_ISSUE are similarly informed.
I've got good friends on both sides of $CONTENTIOUS_ISSUE who are -- for very good reasons! -- not objective about it. I don't think you need to be objective to have a valid opinion, either.

No, Safari isn't an option, nor is Firefox; neither meets my usability bar. Don't recommend them to me.
No, Vivaldi and Edge and Arc arenβt, either, for the same reasons.
I've tried them.

I'm looking for a group to watch the first hour or so of the #debate with in #seattle, up in Greenwood (I'm heading to a 7:30 trivia game but wanted to see how the winds were blowing for the first hour); I'd rather not watch alone, since wincing and heckling in a group is more fun.
