Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if Messenger had more LOC than an early OS... Software today has gotten too complex and bloated in a lot of cases.

Yeah, I was going to say this too. I write code in my spare time for fun and hobby and personal skill development and I don't use AI at all. AI isn't ruining anything for me.

Like anything I am sure there are good and bad experiences. I mean both my pay and rent go up by about 3% each year, barring some position change, but 3% of a 100K salary is $3000 more a year. 3% of a 650/mo rent like I pay is $230 mor

I really only need a small apartment, anything more would be a waste for me. I just need a place to cook/eat and sleep, and keep my things.

I suppose you do say family. For me I don't really plan on having a family, so it semes like renting will always be a better option. Perhaps mainly because they don't really make houses small enough to match the cost of renting, o

Why shouldn't I compare though? I have looked at buying a house multiple times and I can't make it make sense personally. It's so much more expensive and more work. I just need a place to cook and sleep and keep my things.

I mean my heat is included in my rent, it doesn't change no matter how much I use it. I pay 650/mo in rent including heat and water and I have it like 75F in the winter...

I'm just a single guy, why do I need more than a small apartment which is like 1/4 the monthly cost of a home mortgage payment. I put the other 3/4 of that cost into index funds. Also saves me time not having to do things lik

I have been renting the same unit for 15 years now. It was 400/mo when I moved in 15 years ago, and it's 650/mo now, 15 years later. I have paid about 90K in rent now over the last 15 years and this also includes water and he

I have been renting 15 years and have never once even really thought about my landlord... I pay them on the portal and if something needs fixing I put in a maintenance request and they get it fixed. That's all i've ever thought ab

I live in an apartment owned by a larger company, the rent raises really slowly in my experience, Like 3% per year. I have been at my unit for 15 years now, never had any problem or regret anything about it.

I pay only 650/mo for rent though. My friends with homes around me pay about what I pay in rent in their home property taxes alone... Or especially once you add in some utilities, like my heat is included in my rent and I can have my

In what world do students need to use it for coursework to "keep up"? I see no positive outcome for using it as a student where your whole existence is to learn the material yourself.

That's what I'd be curious to know. Are they the same people who are booing it who are also using it?
75.
by SirMaster 5mo ago
I am trying to understand how many of the students are complaining about AI when they themselves may have been using it a great deal. Because that seems hypocritical.
76.
by SirMaster 5mo ago
How many of those booing used AI to do some of their homework?

So do an exercise that you actually enjoy and want to be doing. I play pickleball 10h a week and absolutely love the time spent playing. So there is no wasted time here. I spend all my exercise time doing something fun that I love doing, an

But does this act like a debit account? What I like about a credit card are things like you are buying on credit, not using money in your account directly. So in the case of fraud or issue a chargeback it's been much easier to get cred

I like writing my passion projects without AI. Is this so strange? Using AI to write my software just takes all the fun out of it for me. It feels like just reading a summary or recap instead of reading the actual full novel myself. Like it

But are you saying that social media causes irreversible and permanent depression that neuroplasticity cannot ever reverse? There is also a healthy side to social media, but not really a healthy side to smoking. Social media helps me make a

Neuroplasticity. Seems better than the damage caused to your lungs and cells from smoking. I mean, do you have any evidence that the brain is irreversibly damaged by social media? I have not seen any, but I have seen evidence that there is

Don't show any video. Make the user search for what they want to see. Rank them by best keyword match from their search query, if match is equal, order them newest posted to oldest posted. Done.

But if you stop using social media, you don't still have a risk of lung cancer in the future. The effects of social media usage are surely reversible by stopping using it and then some retraining of the brain. The effects of years of s

Definitely not universally true. I was a big introvert in high school and college, but now as an adult I am way more extraverted and have more friends than ever.

I just put a donate button in my free apps and make a little every now and again from the kind souls who decide to send money. I was always afraid of some sort of implied level of support or quality from something that I charge money for, b

Huh, my iPhones have never come close to this. They are always under 80% capacity before 1000 charge cycles.

But even if I don't drink? Seems like a bar is not a place I would want to go. I know there can be other things to do there than drink, but still. I find camaraderie is excellent through sports leagues and board game events, stuff lik

It's not necessary to give it to every website. Verification to the website can be a true/false from the OS. In fact that's how it already works now. I would say it's not really an ID no, which is the point. The post is

"But age verification requires identity verification. Identity verification requires digital IDs." Um, no? iOS is doing age verification just by your credit card. I never saw people all that upset about giving their credit card in
