The ability to properly define a research question is more important today than ever before. Describe a vague research question and your data and 10 times out of 10 Claude WONT ask for any clarification before it suggests 19 different things you can *try*.

Made a detailed analysis plan for a client to run. A week later they email me results to review. They don't match our discussed plan at all. What happened? They didn't understand some of my suggestions - did they email me to get clarifications? No - they asked Claude to "fill in the blanks".

A client thought up some BS with Claude and sent me the full report + analysis code, all 100% written and run and interpreted by Claude. I gave a detailed response explaining why it was trash, which my client (for laughs) forwarded to Claude. Claude was not happy being criticized.

#Position 's auto format for @quarto.org files is extremely slow recently, and does *not* work well with rmd files (breaks formatting) - anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions out there?

Me to students: in this course we will not be using the ~ notation in @mc-stan.org for reasons that will be made clear later. Me, later: see when estimating the marginal likelihood we need all the normalizing constants, so be wary of LLMs that like using ~ notation. Students' assignmens: ~~~~~~~~

When you find an #rstats package that does exactly what you need, but it hasn't been updated in 10 years, doesn't allow for parallel processing, and nothing is vectorized... I'm gonna have to ask an LLM agent to re-write this, hu?
