I've looked into this extensively in the US, and there are three headaches from my POV: 1. Most states require special device certification by a "nationally recognized authority" that doesn't seem to fully exist yet. The

Right; but THAT idea is consumer hostile by design. So your account is now tied to a physical device; great, but the device is dead, or you own a dozen devices, now what? Each vendor has their own idea about what THIS means. Heck I have a c

Then most of us would never use it. That means either: - Only one specific device can ever login (bad). - It doesn't limit login to one specific device, therefore it does nothing. Linking Passkeys to a physical device was always DoA. A

Less work today or less work tomorrow? The problem with "someone makes a request, code changes happen automatically, and all someone else has to do for that to be committed is mash approve" doesn't strike me as a way to creat

I suspect they're ignoring that debate since they have reason to anticipate a US Government action that allows them to not need to compete in a free market.

That has been my experience too. It will cost you more than it saves to use smaller Chinese models to code; because of the repeated work. That has been slowly changing recently, but with much larger Chinese models, however those models are

That's great, thank you. What's frustrating about that is that Microsoft has also gone out of their way to make it difficult to access the [legacy] System Properties (sysdm.cpl), while not fully reimplementing all the features int

ChatGPT was released in Nov 2022, and frankly wasn't very good originally. The SO decline started occurring almost two years ahead of that, and was already on a sharp decline before ChatGPT shipped, and certainly before ChatGPT actuall

The monitor itself isn't installing anything, Windows detects the device by unique ID, and uses Windows Update to get the driver which itself triggers a Windows Store application (malware) to install. The monitor only sends a unique de

Worth noting that gpedit.msc isn't included in Windows Home editions (although there are unsupported ways of adding it). This is also technically asking a lot for working around issues that shouldn't exist. Microsoft needs to inte

I'd agree it is similar to Anthropic's naming scheme, which I'd argue shares the same problems as this. It improves marketability/googlability, but decreases actual comprehension. You don't actually explain why or h

That isn't what "genuinely asking" looks like, you're criticizing using "questions" as cover. It isn't subtle, nor is it constructive. I agree with them, Sol, Terra, and Luna are confusing names. They mean

I consider reasoning to be a huge quality differentiator particularly for complex questions/medium+ length discussions. Low-Thinking/non-Thinking absolutely has a place, but not in a tool like ChatGPT due to its very nature/d

That edge case is certainly their official excuse. Ultimately to determine the underlying root-cause you'd still need to dig this same information out, and all they've done is moved the starting line behind several walls. In essen

What disappointments me even more than the UK having these authoritarian polices, is that so many people seemingly support this. Anonymity online is of course a double-edged sword, but we've seen the authorities, particularly but not e
