I think, they meant the opposite. Extending your workday until 3 AM means you'll be your least productive at that point. Whereas if you're coding on a passion project at 3 AM (and you're reasonably rested), then it's often the most productive time of day, because there's no distractions, nothing else to be doing...

The thing is, your attempts at eliminating boilerplate can be pretty bad and take pretty long before they're worse than writing out the boilerplate in full.
Boilerplate code is by itself a problem. If it's just scaffolding, i.e. you're not duplicating logic, then it still makes code harder to read and annoying to maintain.
If you are duplicating logic, then it's a maintenance nightmare. You fix a bug in one version of it, now you gotta update 14 other versions which the LLM dutifully generated with the same bug.
Or worse, it wasn't dutiful (much like a human typically isn't), so now you've got different bugs in different versions of it, as well as different fixes over time, and you quickly lose track which version is the good one.
The term was coined by an OpenAI co-founder. No idea, if I would call the OpenAI folks "serious", but it's not just a derogatory term, like you might think.
Huh, framed like that, that seems like a wild statement considering he later went on to formulate his ontological "proof", which attempts to prove God's existence without relying on axioms (and in my not-so-humble opinion fails to do so, because it assumes "good" and "evil" to exist).
But what I'm reading about his incompleteness theorems, it does seem to be a rather specific maths thing, so would've been a big leap to then be discouraged in general from trying to do proofs without axioms.
Especially, if you're allergic.
Well, it's not allowed to be sold in countries that have a requirement for crash tests in their laws (and in particular for not obliterating pedestrians in those crash tests)...
Ah yeah, my comment was caveated as such, because I assumed those bacteria to have mostly gotten there via food. Then again, no idea if any even survive going through the stomach acid...
I mean, yeah, but if Proton is doing an absolutely flawless job, then it has 0 performance penalty compared to Windows. All the actual gains still do come from Linux having less overhead. So, both are true, that Proton is killing it and that the gains come from Linux.
I guess, some bacteria might have made it into your body in other ways, but might still be considered part of you in the wider sense...?
Yeah, perhaps the most fitting example here is non-vegetarian diets: Feed plants to livestock. Livestock uses up some energy for its own existence. Then feed livestock to humans.
There is a slight difference in that livestock can ingest leaves, which we cannot, but in industrialized farms, they typically get fed produce anyways, to make them grow more quickly.
