I feel like the statement is fundamentally contradictory, seeing as how humans have invented and trained the AI systems. By definition, that is something that humans are doing. On the other hand, it may be more insightful to say that if hum

I went through the first several weeks of course 1, and you are spot on. The quiz in week 2 is absolutely wrong (did anyone audit this?). I skimmed through the first 6 weeks and even for a beginner course, this is way too dumbed down. I che

It's hard to find anything about working at Google that isn't geared towards SWE. What job title(s) would someone working for Google in IT support hold? Is the interview process as grueling as the SWE positions, or is Google looki

You can change the default meeting time to 15 minutes under settings. Once you have done that, just clicking defaults to a 15 minute meeting. You can already drag a 30 minute meeting to a 45 minute meeting pretty easily. This is close to wh

This looks great. I've been learning ASP.NET Core with scattered resources around the web, and your book seems to explain everything in a simple way. Adding to my list of resources...

This seems aimed squarely at VSCode. VSCode does a lot of this now out of the box (or with a few extensions). I think Atom is really just trying to keep up. I personally do not believe they have the horsepower to compete with Microsoft here

I noticed this as well. If you poke around, you can see that only 53 cities are currently available. I tried "Portland" and received "Orlando" as a suggestion. Looks like it uses some sort of half-baked search algorithm

This drives me crazy in my mathematics courses. Sometimes I just do not recognize the pattern, and tools like Mathway or Wolfram Alpha can say "right here dummy" and give me the first step. It is not always about cheating, but see

Any site with an instant search, similar to Google's, is sending a steady stream of your keystrokes to the server. Even the Omnibar inside of Chrome has to send your keystrokes over to receive suggestions that aren't local.

When I click a details link, it sends me to the Canadian Amazon link. Any way to fix that? Looks neat otherwise.

What does an alternative look like that does not eventually lead to another Facebook? I've seen decentralized platforms, platforms that do not sell your data or target you with ads - how are they sustainable?

I think what the author (and most of the piece in general) is implying is that because this is the way these interactions with technology occur, it is forcing us to be less focused overall.

I'm off of it and I could not be happier about the decision. Concerns about privacy aside, I realized how much time I was wasting scrolling through ads and news stories instead of photos and thoughts from friends and relatives. I didn&

Same here. I feel like in the early days of the web, I was able to find this kind of content on forums specific to a particular topic. Now it seems like forums are on the way out in favor of social media or social sharing sites like Reddit

Google simply does not do this. They are very transparent about their security and privacy policies and I encourage you to read through the policies. Google uses the data internally to improve your experience - they are not in the business

That's great. Is this site more of a resource for Googlers, and for outsiders to understand the process? A lot of the information I'm reading seems to suggest that.

It looks like some of these projects repos link to GitHub, while others are hosted on this new platform. Is this a signal that Google is moving away from GitHub, or something else entirely? Edit: Ah, here's the relevant blog post: htt

This is cool. Seems a little slow to react though, and I wonder if this could throw some people off.

You cannot bend the rules in this way and still equate it to the question at hand - you're introducing characters outside of base2 in your example. If you stuck within the realm of base2, '2' in its binary form certainly appe

What is the deal with 16 PCIe lanes? With the move to PCIe storage, this is disappointing. I am happy to see the price/performance is good (which is surely going to force Intel to be competitive again), but if this is targeting the hig

Yes - and there's also the fact that you have to get everyone on the same page with tags. It isn't as simple as just moving something where it belongs.

I would really just love to be able to group my repositories. Either logically in folders, or in another structure that cleans everything up. Tags help, but it is not enough. I am happy that they continue to add features like this, but I fe
