  • My company forced us to use only Chrome on our PC’s and one of the things I was worried about was the ads. I put youtube in the background while I work.

    And I was surprised by how… My experience was exactly the same as Firefox and Brave. Ok, actually, one or two ads managed to slip through and appeared in the front page - albeit rarely and randomly - but I never got those ads at the beginning of the video. On other websites, I never got ads.

    I was wondering, then, if there was some catch. Maybe the trackers would still get through or something. But according to that link, not even that? lol


  • I would love to read an independent study on this, but this is from Anthropic (the guys that make Claude) so it’s definitely biased.

    Speaking for myself, I’ve been using LLM’s to help out with jumps in small gaps of knowledge. Like for example, I know what I need to do, I just don’t know/remember the specific functions or libraries that I need to do that in Python. LLM is extremely useful for these moments; and it’s faster than searching and asking on forums. And to be transparent, I did learn a few tricks here and there.

    But if someone lets the LLM do most of the work - like vibe coders - I doubt they will learn anything.
