Just because you do not use a piece of technology or see no use in a particular use-case does not make it useless. If you want your Java code repaired, more power to you, but do not cripple the tool for people like me who use ChatGPT for

Alright, as someone who is currently suffering from burnout (which is classified as a form of depression in my country, making me swear the holy oath to my doctor once a month that I do not think, believe, or plan to end it): This is probab

I was specifically talking about accidental shootdowns of civilian airliners. Leave your politics out of this. Unless you have tangible evidence that MH17 was deliberately downed. In which case I am sure people would just love to see that

The major difference being that the US crew got medals for 'meritorious service', including a Navy Commendation Medal and a Legion of Merit. Russia is not quite that ballsy over accidentally butchering civilians.

Oh, it is my responsibility to work around YOUR preferred way of doing things, when I have zero benefit from it? Maybe I just get your scraper's IP range and start poisoning it with junk instead?

Hm, I have the opposite setup - I operate a dehumidifier. The building I live in gets humid quickly, and that causes mould quickly. My tank fills. When the tank is full (and, depending on outside conditions and number of humans present, tha

I'm all for KISS. But in a rare instance, xkcd is missing the point here. People do not live in their rooms 24/7, but they do want to be able to, e.g., turn stuff on or off remotely, or based on environmental conditions (turn on&#

There's no pride in not having diacritics, it's a sign of an insufficient script. It's the reason why English writing gives no hint of pronunciation.

"Decorum" and Times New Roman. That's the equivalent of pointlessly plastering everything with marble and gold, you think you are doing Roman Empire meets Versailles, but ultimately, you're just being tacky.

There is a qualitative distinction between 'I filter for myself what I don't want to see' and 'The State decides what everyone is allowed to see.' Not too sure about those zit-popping videos. But in my time, we had

You know, I am in a country that allows alcohol for children (in different intensities, e.g. beer at age 14 with parents present, age 16 in the supermarket, age 18 for the hard stuff). As it turns out, our kids are alright. Tobacco and porn

Which means they also do no longer benefit from family-grouped Youtube Premium, which means MORE ADS ... which is exactly what we tried to prevent, right?

So, considering there is a clear health issue with fast food and television, shall we ban them from having anything other than fruit and books (but not too complicated ones, we don't want them to get potentially suicidal ideas)?

Do you not remember the good old days when people who focussed on graphics design rather than content put 'Best used with Netscape/IE5.5' on their pages?

Hm, Claude is a common male surname, especially in Europe. That plays into it. Also many people - including me - have personalised their AI chats, have given it names, even something resembling a personality (it's easy with prefix prom

Which would also render differently on every machine, based on browser settings, screen sizes, and available fonts. Like the web was meant to be. An interpreted hypertext format, not a pixel-perfect brochure for marketing execs.

I keep wondering ... is this a good benchmark? What is a practical use-case for the skills Claude is supposed to present here? And if the author needs that particular website re-created with pixel-perfect accuracy, woulnd't it me simpl

I feel we have a RAM price surge every four years. The excuses change, but it's always when we see a generation switch to the next gen of DDR. Which makes me believe it's not AI, or graphics cards, or crypto, or gaming, or one of

See, there is no such thing as a 'democracy'. There's only autocratic systems that pretend better, and those who pretend worse.

I'm not shocked at all. It's the nature of things for people - on average - to not want to learn. How many of your peers have shouted 'no more school' or something similar during their graduation? How many people do you

Any movie with this kind of premise needs to make clear how it is not "The Birds" (which does, in fact, include a murder by a murder of crows) of Hitchcock fame.

I think it is a managerial failure to have rockstar-type employees work the menial, process-managed stuff. Those should work on the unusual, the new, the moonshots. Stuff that has not yet been formalized in BPMN 2.0
