  I am in the computer science field, so the answer is a bunch, us nd people accel in fields that interest us. Plus my personal friends and family members.

  I know two neurodivergent people that love trains, one is into models and the other trainspotting. They are correct too, trains are awesome.

  You are correct, useEffect can be dangerous if you don’t know exactly what you are doing. I would go so far as to say that most people use it incorrectly. This includes myself, I am not great at using React and end up using it in the wrong places, which according to a colleague, it should just be avoided if possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's *your* favorite way to play old games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mainly use my retroid pocket pro 4. I occasionally pull out the actual consoles to play on them. I have a USB hub with HDMI out and usb-c power pass through to play my RP pro 4 on my TV, which I like to do because I have an 8BitDo wireless N64 controller mod kit and an 8BitDo SN30 Pro for everything else.

  It is a system that outputs an answer that is the most probably correct one from what it processes from the inputs. It does not have the concept of creating a lie. It is just a probability machine.

  Fix the way multi-player works and people will actually want to play the game.

  The biggest point is that you must be an expert in the field you are using it in. I rarely get fooled by hallucinations and stupid bugs because they are glaringly obvious to me. The best use case is having the llm write code for using a library that has poor documentation, that am going to use once, and I am too lazy to learn. These tools are scary when used by juniors, they are creating more work for everyone by using llms to code. I just imagine myself using this when I was a fresh grad, it is terrifying. It would have only been one step up from vibe coding.
