And that is exactly how someone like Trump could win (there are worse people than Nigel Farage). I'm amazed people have not thrown out these two parties in the UK already. Yes, the voting system makes it hard, but not impossible. It ha

This is all nice and all, but how can they tell these benefits are from ozempic or actual calorie restriction? Were talking about people that suffer from hiv induced bad fat distribution. I assume this means they have conditions such as fat

People like myself that firmly believe there will come a time, possibly very soon that all these companies (OpenAI, Anthropic etc) will raise their prices substantially. By then no one will be able to do their work to the standard expected

These projects are very cool, especially if you're stuck with a crappy "app only" camera. But lack of even rudimentary AI motion detection and alerting is a bit of a deal breaker.

One good reason for cameras. They promote civil behaviour. Since I installed a visible security camera above my front door I never had couriers throwing packages, they very rarely not show up and claim "no one was home" and so on.

Somehow I have the deja-vu of when Theresa May (as a Home Secretary) tried to ban personal encryption altogether. Let me remind everyone this is in a country that already has a law that says you're legally required to give your encrypt

Not quite, the people making these decisions are all in EU commission and they are there because they were submitted by their national parties. Also there is the EU parliament that contains people that also belong to national parties. If th

My country for sure will veto it. Last time when they tried it there were massive demonstrations. While the current gov is led by someone that for sure has no backbone to stand up to his good friends in the EU People's party(the name s

I like the idea. I haven't used the tool, but what I'd love to (maybe it already does this) is to be able to take a recording and turn it into a text document showing what to run, what output to expect and so on. Something that le

And an interesting side effect I noticed with ChatGPT4o that the quality of output increases it you insult it after prior mistakes. It is as if it tries harder if it perceives the user to be seriously pissed off. The same doesn't work

Try breaking it up into smaller pieces. Give it your existing code and tell it to do it in same style. Or give it examples that do the similar things you wrote. Also don't expect chatgpt to ever be as good as Claude for example . Oh an

You just need to read the code and ask questions about it if you don't understand it, question everything that seems off. Unfortunately people copy/paste without even reading. Let alone understanding. AI is still a great tool, but

Are they doing the post-mortem with another AI agent? AI is a great tool. It also allows people who have no business touching certain systems to go in there unaware of their lack of knowledge messing everything in the process. One particula

So the main claim of the article is people are searching less and they are asking questions of AI instead. Why? Because search has sucked extremely hard for last dozen of years if not longer. I still remember the times when you could put so

So did Bolsonaro have any basis for claiming the vote against him was rigged? If he did, fair enough. There should be an investigation into the rigging. If the vote was fair, then there may be an excuse of bad advice. He should've know

It makes perfect sense... Why spend time and money on building a product in hope of attracting VCs that may like it? Instead present your idea in an intentionally vague way that makes everyone's imagination fill in the blanks in the mo
