Strangely enough, I suspect that if AI truly becomes prevalent, in about 5-10 years there will be a counter culture of those seeking things they strongly believe are human made, tangible, and genuine. I believe folks will yearn for in perso

Citation needed; that Garmin watch cited claims about 30 hours of life unless the screen is mostly off and you severely hamper the features (i.e. "smartwatch mode"). I wont doubt you can get it to last weeks like that. These devic

I recall one series where R. C. Bray had been doing the narration for several books, then for undisclosed reasons they replaced him with another narrator. The drop in quality was so bad I eventually gave up trying to finish the series (thou

I've been using Suno for a relatively short time, and I regret to say this isn't close yet. Maybe beyond v1, but the quality I've become accustomed to, in stereo, and at relatively high fidelity (sounds a bit like over-compre

But has Apple Silicon justified the investment? I don't doubt it's good tech, but the market share hasn't necessarily reflected it. In 2024, total shipped units dropped quite a bit. Judging by the available data, I wouldn&#x2

Meta really, really likes to game their numbers. Take claims of that with a hefty grain of salt.

Great. That's how it always starts when we 'listen' to the AI. First, we make a few adjustments to the menu. Next, we get told there's a dancing floor, and now we have to install that . A few steps later? Automated fact

Ironically, this is exactly the technique for arguing that the blog mentions. Remember the revolutionary, seemingly inevitable tech that was poised to rewrite how humans thought about transportation? The incredible amounts of hype, the secr

This will probably be a new record for enshittification of a useful technology. I wonder how long it will be before we see attempts to use more subtle forms of 'psychological' manipulation on results? We've already got hidden

I've loved this site since I first learned about it. In today's increasingly densified office spaces (in my area at least), this has been an even bigger help to me. The latest app redesign has been fantastic. It's worth a sma

That won't help much unless the LLM model version remains constant, is added, and/or can be invoked again. Not impossible for locally hosted models, but nigh impossible for the ever-changing online ones.

I'll do you one better: WTH is/was Glitch? I think I'm so far out of the loop I've reached lagrange point 2.

In other words, they learn the game, not how to play games .

Probably a reflexive action at this point. Ingrained into what's left of their soul I assume. It literally wouldn't surprise me if when asked, the legal team simply responded "it's standing policy".

C'mon, SteamOS. You're so close to giving gamers and Windows-only application users a seamless experience on virtually any PC.

Not to sound cheeky, but which part?

I admit the general aesthetic was off-putting and was a bit hard to get excited for in the previews. Looking at the producer's prior work, I can see why it wouldn't appeal to me: I wasn't a fan of Coco, The Good Dinosaur, or

Then count the costs. If it is worth more to you to leave such feedback and improve their world, it's always your choice. However, you should also be either convinced that HR gives a crap, or that any potential outcomes are acceptable,

Please don't fall for the clickbait here. Take a look at the history of posts from this site.

And now they've introduced a tight coupling and some serious potential tech debt should the original ever change its internal workings. Also, you seem to assume we're talking about open source here.

It's also not how file formats generally work or get defined. I'm not sure I'd even define a .pickle file that way either, and it's the poster child for a hyper-specific Python format.

Well, that, and deviation from the established practices can make it difficult to get paid by the insurance company and/or open you up to legal risk (particularly if something goes wrong). Or so I understand from those in the system in

You may find the book Careless People a good read. The culture there is...troubling. From the top down.

It's a running joke internally. But not always far from the truth. Translating business level protobufs into solution level protobufs is indeed the job of entire teams sometimes.

Joke's on us; this is going to rapidly drain what little creativity there is in places like Amazon as they rely increasingly more on a tool that at best intelligently regurgitates what it learned/gleaned/stole from the intern

Note we aren't really seeing the price reflect the true costs of using LLMs yet. Everyone is prioritizing adoption over sustainable business models. Time will tell how this pans out.

Step down in terms of LLM performance? I think that is easily explained in the sheer bulk of articles, blogs, and open source projects in Python rather than C#. I actually prefer the latter to the former, but I know it is still not that wid
