Which could fill a niche I suppose, but I doubt it'll ever have market appeal. Not in the current iteration, at best it'll be used as part of a production, e.g. to recreate or de-age older / dead actors, as a replacement or a

Choosing to not consume the endless deluge of shit is not denial, it's self-care. If AI will take their (or my) job, doomscrolling isn't going to change that. That may be defeatist, but the forces at play are bigger than myself or

I think it's amazing they can basically hold a rocket down and let it launch like that without things exploding or shearing apart from the forces. Are those the same bolts as the exploding ones they would use for a normal launch? (on t

I think that if companies want to scale up rocket launches (and let's disregard the cost / environmental impact / etc for now), they also need to scale up launch sites, at the moment they seem like single points of failure. I

Imagine is a good word to use. Before offering a solution, understand the problem first - is "debugging speed" a problem that needs solving, in this case?

I think this is the Big Thing when it comes to making things - underestimating the market. Mechanical keyboards is a multi-billion industry, and building them yourself is a percentage of that. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if this

Reminds me of the guy (Mitch Altman) that invented the tv-b-gone, a universal remote that turns every TV off. He made a small fortune off of that and now goes around teaching people IoT and the like. I'm sure he's on here, if so,

What hurdles would those be? I'm sure that as long as you do your administration properly, selling electronics from your proverbial bedroom isn't a major issue. This comments sounds more like generalised anti-EU sentiment than a r

There are some companies working on that and / or there have been some experiments with it, but there's two factors there; the one is of course how much weight an aircraft can carry. The other one is the altitude and / or ang

Depends on whether you or your ancestors demanded some worker protection rights so they can't just fire you.

The only ones getting a paycheck off of this is those that work for the hardware manufacturers, unfortunately. Mainly because in software development (at least for what I do), productivity does not translate into significant company gains.

Modern Macbooks have this issue, the other day I realised I had never heard the fans of it run, so I was wondering if they actually worked. Found a web based benchmark tool that will run your CPU and GPU at 100% each. While temperatures wen

AI is trained on but more importantly prompted to write in that style. It's not just annoying⸻it's a choice.

I love how he went back and updated some of his older but still relevant writings, like https://randsinrepose.com/archives/nadd/ .

It's the writing of someone who has been writing articles like this for decades now, instead of your average blogger or journalist. Just enjoy the difference.

I don't mind it, because there already was a lot of slop before AI, which a lot of people seem to forget. But that's also because they weren't the consumers / target audience so it's off their radar.

Thing is, did it take effort and creativity to make it? I suppose you could argue that fine-tuning a prompt takes effort, creativity and knowledge, but I argue against that that it's only a fraction of what it takes to make real music.

It can be, but you'll need to look up the human made / curated playlists; definitely avoid Spotify's own (as they've been seeding them with their own songs for a while now, even before AI), and don't enable the auto

What about the long tail of romance novels, fanfiction, etc though? 50 shades was an outlier in that it was popular but it's absolute drivel, and there is a lot of that kind of low quality writing out there.

Yeah people seem to forget that before AI music, there was already a huge amount of "slop" music out there - background music, muzak, mood music. Hell, Spotify was put in the spotlight not that long ago for commissioning music to

It only died if you actually applied it in your own codebase - as with any feature, using it is optional.

Where did "they" say "we" didn't need generics? That sounds like a bad faith / misinterpretation / straw man; as someone else pointed out, they postponed generics until they figured out the use cases and w

If you are old and haven't played it yet too though. There's a few games that are a pretty unique experience like that, Bloodborne is another, but also consider Journey and probably a list of others.

But one where death is permanent / seriously bad; in Battlefield you just respawn so dying is not a major issue.

I think the article is intentionally focused, if it were to mention every game that is related we'd be here for a while. That said, this is a common thing in articles about e.g. video games - "I wish they mentioned X". I too

That segment of the game does take a bit of suspension of disbelief though - it's like Atreus was born yesterday, instead of growing up there. I may have missed or forgotten the explanation behind that though. I suppose he was always s

At least the internet is not one single place, and while I can't speak for anyone I think I've managed to avoid most of the AI generated internet.

This is good information, but a bit superficial - before AI, what percentage of online articles were generated from templates? What was written by content generation farms? Fiverrr and co pay-per-word writers? I suspect that market has been
