    Honorable mention:
    Vivaldi, ClipDiary, Robocopy, Obsidian, TrueLaunchBar. Using them for years (except Obsidian, switched to it from Evernote year or two ago), and pretty happy with it.

    I read guides and comments and it looks like you just can't lose or miss something. Even grandpa evaluation can be repeated, thats allows me to play game in my own pace.

    As a somewho developer.. I just don't understand. Currently I'm using a bit niche technology (definitely not latest frameworks) and from time to time I do a test by asking different LMs some simple questions about this technology stack. Just to explain: it's not a web based tech, it's specialized financial/procurement oriented tech for non-web applications for windows. (Actually web too, but that's separate tech branch). It's not a popular but also not a hidden knowledge or abandonware.

    So... everytime LMs answer is wrong. And I can't say that my question is hard, it's on the level "how to find records in specialized graphic list control by condition". Nothing fancy or tricky. It looks like LM read first two paragraphs of related documentation (because LM can produce code example that will work like half the time), but LM completely skips meaning of special cases that mentioned at the bottom of documentation page.

    And... How can I trust LM in any other questions? LM that become "historians", "lawyers", "advisors", "helpers", etc?

    Points:

    Points:

    1. AI models memorize their training data
    2. AI models then leak their training data
    3. Ad hoc protections don't work
    4. Robust protections exist, though their mileage may vary
    5. The larger the model, the worse it gets

    Bonus thing: AI companies are overwhelmingly dishonest

    However, I can't find any regarding how effective they are. I imagine it's quite hard to conduct research finding that out.

    After quick reading, can't say I agree with this author. Article contains a lot of broad statement presented as facts without any confirmations or without any mentions of disadvantages.

    For example:

    Russian infantry face similar dangers, but with a few more escape routes. If they joined through volunteer units, they can leave when their contracts end. That's not true for their regular soldiers – mobilization laws keep them locked in indefinitely. Meanwhile, Ukrainian infantry have even fewer options – one year of combat duty stretches into two, then three, with no end in sight.

    How exactly "keep them locked in indefinitely" is different from "one year of combat duty stretches into two, then three"? Also, how did author come up with idea that Ukraine infantry initially mobilized for only one year of duty? And there a lot of similar "a bit skewed" facts presented in article.

    "Ukraine broken system practically impossible to fix", "Russia in a better position", "Ukraine serious command problem", "implemented solution (by Ukraine) creates chaos on the battlefield"... in every part of the article.

    To be honest I only skimmed last part of article with solutions. Very conveniently each presented solution does not have any downsides.
    Each presented solution requires more people, more time and more money. And honestly, I`m not sure that Ukraine have a lot of these resources.

    Upd: I was wrong, disadvantages clearly mentioned in the end of article.
