I'm curious to know how this will work in practice. I have tried multiple times for Gemini to take a look at what's on my screen on my Android device and create a Google Calendar event from it. A few times it works, but fails in t

The first time I soldered, it was for a job interview to work for a professor building gastric pacemakers after university graduation. My eyes were still sharp so it was actually kind of fun.

As I'm typing on mine right now, I wonder why they made these so sharp. It hasn't cut me yet, but they are decidedly uncomfortable.

This reminds me. Google Reader had comments enabled from your friends on posts you shared. This was the best form of social media I have ever experienced.

This reminds me of the Hacktoberfest situation where maintainers were getting flooded with low-quality PRs. This could be that, but on steroids and constantly, not just one month.

If they said yes, would you blindly trust them? They told you to "do your own research" effectively and you punted. That would arguably be a more reassuring path for you I assume.

It makes me sad that there are so many of these heavily-upvoted posts now that are hand-wavey about AI and is itself AI-generated. It benefits everyone involved except people like me who are trying to cut through the noise.

Everything now has to be fully vetted before trying it as opposed to making something weird and quirky. Sad! I miss those days.

I hope he's right! I'm terrified that like 4 companies own my entire life now. I do love the movement back to analog single-purpose devices. Would be neat if they had just enough tech to make them useful but not weaponized against

> Stuff like this reads to me like someone wants the internet to be happy fun time that only ever gives me an endless supply of good things to consume and filters out all the bad. Would someone want the opposite of that?

When I let my kids have freedom in the various stores we go into, I get nearly instant looks of disgust from people. It's like everybody has forgotten what it's like to be a kid and why that kind of independence is necessary. Soci

This is interesting. I've been away from the high-code world for a while and instead of going back to Java, I might try out c#. Thanks for the writeup.

I remember talking about this with a friend a long time ago. Basically, you'd write up tests and there was a magic engine that would generate code that would self-assemble and pass tests. There was no guarantee that the code would look

This is random, but if you're ever in the Corning area, do check out the Corning Museum of Glass. They did a really great job of blending an experience of history, art, creation, and science in there. The history of glass areas in part

These guys are something else. I remember seeing them on Scooby Doo when I was a kid growing up. Their Vegas show is great. I’ve seen several magic shows and specials on TV, but the way they ran the whole thing and let you inspect the stage

I've been away from the Java world for the past 4 years, and I really miss it. I hope I can get back to it soon. This is cool: https://openjdk.org/jeps/512 (JEP 512: Compact Source Files and Instance Main Methods)

It's been so long. Can someone refresh my memory about the exodus from Digg a long time ago? I remember a lot of Ron Paul spam but that's about it.
