I don't think you understand just how insanely difficult it is to break into that market. There's a lot that goes into GPU's that makes it a very difficult industry to get going in. Even with apple money or something like t

I have yet to see someone apply ChatGPT or other LLM in this way and not regret it or ditch it later. Honestly i'm more worried about the ones who will use it this way and assume it's always correct. It is too often incorrect for

Yes. There's still a lot of people who aren't that aware of this stuff, and frankly, its because it still doesn't have much practical use. Its making headlines left and right, and businesses are all trying to figure out what

Only just, and more because of their continued incompetence in that area with IE. They were going to actually break the company apart into different divisions to stop the vertical monopoly, but instead that's just become standard.

I would assume so, but I'm faaaar from an expert. My amateur opinion is there's too much money to be made for this to be stopped forever (we SHOULD rework copyright but we'll probably just make some dumb rule when disney deci

It's a CYA thing. Steam says "we don't allow AI content". Someone shoves AI content on the platform anyways. If it can be proved they violated the TOS, they then have the ability to nuke their game and stop someone from

The cynic in me says it's because this way they can say "we tried" and not actually do anything. Antitrust lawsuits died the day MS got a slap on the wrist, and we've been paying for it as a society ever since. I really

It's become my daily driver for the light amounts of shell use I have (just derping around a filesystem and some data manipulation, not a sysadmin). My only issue is that I haven't done any custom function/aliases/whatev

This all feels like screaming because companies are bad at adapting. I don't think 100% full time remote is going to work for all cases/all positions, but I am pretty sure that the companies that are going to be above the curve th

I mean personally I have almost never used twitter and I wish it'd burn to the ground just on the principle that it creates trash content and arguments by design. Still, for all the fire and brimstone predicted (and I was one of them)

The short argument is so silly. Plenty of people were 100% right about what was coming in 08. 99% of them would've gone broke shorting it. Knowing it's fucked it's the same as knowing WHEN it will fall and having the money

If the digg exodus taught C level's anything, it's that digg's target market isn't worth marketing to. They're too picky. Reddit and everyone else has used that market to get the ball off the ground and then pivot

I used iphones until about the 10 era, and my brother has always been in the android ecosystem. Personally, one of the only things I care about is having a smaller phone. I do not want a brick in my pocket. I do not care about screen size.

If your adoption strategy requires people constantly checking in to see if you've finally got features they want, then it's a bad strategy.

A shopping cart is not a non core feature if you want to have large sales, and it shouldn't take a decade to build. This whole conversation always devolves into straw man nonsense and it gets old. Is steam perfect? No. It has a lot

Unless you've got a magic plan to snap your fingers and get vital infrastructure built overnight, I'd say they're going to be lucky if they can even hit this. I'm glad to see things forcing the issue, but I suspect this

Yep. It's mostly a information to screen usage ratio thing. There's so much useless "noise" on modern reddit, even if your customize it. Res + old reddit is much better at letting you see what you want to see and move

I've been a huge fan of dota since 04/05 and yeah it's a great example, but on the real life side another reason things don't change as fast is just the huge barrier to entry, and to some extent the entertainment value.

Have to say competitive optimization existed long before AI and it kinda feels like the parallels are drawn just because that’s the current buzzword. Real life sports are slightly more resistant to it because of a couple of factors, but vid

This is literally the definition of losing market share. Be it because you have fewer customers or because more customers are in the market but buying other options, your share of the market is now smaller. It doesn’t always mean you’re los
