But isn't this what Firefox containers achieve? My understanding is that cookies etc aren't shared between containers, so I can stay logged in, and not be tracked across websites. If it's achievable, why compromise?

As opposed to manually trawling through thousands of documents, based on a keyword that may, or may not, appear in the context of the case file? It's a huge boon, but nothing is perfect. If it's that important that absolutely noth

For me that's the biggest takeaway.. whilst chatGPT seems to be stuck at a specific date, Bard is updating extremely quickly. That has huge implications, both good and bad (a lot of code that chatGPT produced when I was playing with it

The parallels are there for DevOps too - think of the wholesale move to AWS, GCP, and Azure, and the move to things like IaC. Sure one class of job has taken a huge hit (sys admins, supposedly ops), but it's been replaced by another th

For reference, I enjoyed playing sumplete. Master level passed the time nicely (not the full 20 hours, but I did come back to it!). Mechanics work well for an AI generated game. No idea if it's novel or not, but it's a good take.

Why does it have to be so binary? Natural Language is great for loosely defining what you want, whilst literal searches are great for finding the exact occurrence of something you know you are looking for. I can imagine something like: Sear

But that came in a nice metal tin :) I can remember having to go halves on it for my Xmas present, as I think it was well outside the norm price wise. Never regretted that purchase though! Unlike a lot of the overpriced half finished pre-or

How much of that is due to salary expectations? I think there's plenty of people that have got used to an inflated salary, so offering "local market rate" won't cut it. Time will tell if the global downturn will lead to

The barber one always gets me. That's a direct 1-1 transaction. You are getting a hair cut, so if it's good, you'll come back. If it's bad you won't. Charge what it costs and give the best service possible. Granted

Does that count for cable internet too? We were one of the first to get cable in the area, so our ping was generally about 5ms.. This was when many others were still on bonded ISDN for a (nice stable) ping of about 120ms or dial up (150+ pi
