ChatGPT is the last thing I would use for recipe help (0). Instead I'd go with a reliable source like SeriousEats, NYTimes, or as you suggested, Cooking for Engineers. (0) - https://i.redd.it/8xvhkhxc495a1.png

Does it not? 12m / 20,000 = 600. So Amazon's real estate is displacing 20,000 households of a size of 600 square feet. And they've created 20,000 houses to offset that, which are probably larger than 600 square feet. Seems li

The problem is almost certainly that your profile is bad. I'm happy to provide feedback, or you can check out some of the subreddits where people provide tips.

I just ran a few experiments with data science workflows comparing Codeium to Copilot. For my tasks, Copilot performed noticeably better.

Who says it's a small tile? It's common for me to have meetings where nobody is sharing screen. In a one-on-one meeting, someone's face might be taking up my entire screen as we talk.

Maybe I'm being a bit sensitive to price, but $400 seems pretty expensive. Do you know of any cheaper alternatives?

This one is brutal because there's a huge amount of evidence that that man (Cameron Willingham) was falsely convicted on the basis of a dodgy arson investigation. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/innocenc

And then you have last words from those that were likely (or at least plausibly) innocent: "Yeah. The only statement I want to make is that I am an innocent man — convicted of a crime I did not commit. I have been persecuted for 12 yea

I loaned a close college friend $7000 last year. Due to life circumstances and lack of family resources, he was stuck in a rural area with no developer jobs. He was having trouble landing a remote job and I ignorantly asked why he wasn’t ap

Collection and processing of audio/video data has become much cheaper, especially with advances in deep learning. Hopefully we can see some larger sample-size studies taking advantage of newer tech.

Interesting question. I think reducing electricity cost (with technology improvements in solar/wind) will definitely increase total energy demand. But that will translate only in a limited capacity to decreased fossil fuel cost. Fossil

Yep. We're going to see an explosion of development due to Jevons Paradox. As writing custom code becomes cheaper, more and more niches will open up for custom development work. Every small business will be able to afford to hire someo

The outputs from voice and photo generation are extremely task specific and are driven by the human user. Whereas LLMs seem to exhibit a lot more "general" intelligence, which can be scarier.

For me something more appropriate might be: "Hey, I heard about the news. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, big or small." Or for someone I'm close to: "Heard you got laid off. That fucking sucks. Ho

This must have been such an exciting feature to develop. It's great to be able to work on something very likely to save lives in the near future. And clearly a lot of love was put into the UX of the product.
