I don’t know very much about business - but having the goal of most new companies being to be bought by a larger company doesn’t really sound healthy to me.

There was a brief period where seeing a Medium article in a search result made me excited. Now, I avoid them, because of too many experiences with shallow, incorrect, or LLM-generated articles.

This assumption would often be false, which is the problem. I already have access to LLMs (that I leverage often), I’m using a search engine because I’m looking for high-quality, detailed info or real-world examples from someone who knows w

It's no wonder people fight the automation - there is no support to help them upskill or retrain. Although they are fighting a force that nobody has successfully stopped, it makes sense why they would do this when the response to &quot

I do the same - if an app is "free" but has In-app purchases, I'll simply avoid it, even if I'd be willing to pay some price for it if it works. I don't have time to download every app, open it, and navigate to its

I'd like to see a study on this, because I think it is completely untrue.

What about the situation where the first players got to scrape, then all the content companies realize what’s going on so they lock their data up behind paywalls?

As you mention, there are already many laws that make sale of certain goods or services or illegal. I believe the majority of the populace is in favor of the majority of those laws. While I am in favor of places trying drug legalization, an

Personally, I foresee legislation restricting AI emotional/sexual companions, which I think I would support (depending on the details). Specifically, I would want to make it illegal to sell access to AI companions, but not criminalize

It is truly shameless - and they are this shameless because they can be, and may even be rewarded for it. AI "companions", if left unchecked, will be as harmful as addictive drugs, enabling companies to suck everything from some p

Probably because of the feeling that you only have so much energy for each bucket. Watching TV isn’t taking energy from the dev bucket, but working on a fun but personal project does take energy from the dev bucket. Of course, this isn’t ho

If there is an emergency, a parent can deal with it the same way they would have 20 years ago: call the school, and they will send someone to grab your kid from the classroom. This was not a particularly rare occurrence when I was in school

The “what makes Arc different from other browsers” section is particularly funny. > Arc is to your ex-browser what the iPhone was to cellphones. Or as one of our members said “like moving from a PC to a Mac.” It’s from the future — and j

I have heard this said by many people: “I don’t look at documentation because it usually is inaccurate/out of date” There’s plenty of people sharing anecdata about bad docs, and I’ve dealt with my fair share. But my anecdata is that en

The issue is not about supporting engineers, this isn’t a pile-on to some poor engineer. It’s about choosing secure software, and avoiding software (particularly critical and vulnerable software like a web browser) from orgs that have built

Attempting to find the relevant docs page via search engines is generally not a good way to go, you should go to the documentation and search from there. Bookmark the landing page of the documentation.

On Amazon, you used to be able to search the reviews and Q&A section via a search box. This was immensely useful. Now, that search box first routes your search to an LLM, which makes you wait 10-15 seconds while it searches for you. The
