Before I became an engineer and I was doing odd jobs, I got hired by some rich guy (whose name was basically Donald Duck) as an assistant to do some data entry, but really the first task he gave me was to photoshop some photos he took of hi

You're getting downvoted because you're just regurgitating the Elon Musk fanboy "journalists hate X because they're threatened by it!" and "journalists are biased and not trustworthy!" party line nonsense

It is interesting that despite the overwhelming success of Minecraft, Microsoft/the team building it still felt that it needed to have a full tutorial system and overarching story objectives tacked on it to further encourage players to

I think it's showing actual live pointers on the site which is kind of cool but yes it is not... necessarily pleasant.

I think this movement around 'debunking AI' is entirely the fault of marketing and company CEOs inflating the potential around generative AI to such ridiculous amounts. Of course after CEOs toured the country shouting about the da

Worse, I feel like Discord's threading feature feels incomplete without the ability to do this. It feels like it implies it can do this when you use the feature, that you'll be shoving associated replies into a thread, but it does

I am optimistic but I feel sad when I remember when went through all this with sampling 30 years ago and now the music industry is more insular and controls every scrap of music they can find so no one can sample anything and even if your s

Private Cloud Compute servers have no persistent storage so there would be nothing to see upon opening the kimono. You'd need some sort of government requested live wire tap thing to harvest the data out of the incoming requests, which

It doesn't help her case that I think most people doing the work in the trenches think that the C-suite people just sit around drinking and laughing together all day (which is my impression of C-suite people, they just had the money al

Kind of weird, because Mint has always been using T-Mobile's network, and cuts costs by having terrible support. Mint is just a middle-man, a reseller of T-Mobile's network. For the record, I have been a Mint customer for going on

I've been working on the same product for 6 years now, on a team of people who have been working on it for 8 years. It is ridiculous how hard it is for us to design a new feature for the product that doesn't end up requiring the e

I find that the level of hype is very correlated to how much the author is involved in making his own LLM chatbot based products, which is not surprising. Interesting idea with ragdoll, but I'd hate to try to compete with Tavern/P

I think some commenters are missing the point of this post by pointing out an LLM is the wrong tool for the Harry Potter task, because that's literally the point of the post, that people are actively trying to use LLMs in this way, rig

I'm really into AI stuff but both the AI Pin and Rabbit R1 underwhelm. They are products that don't need to exist if the problem they're solving was truly solvable right now, because the best place for that problem to be solv

In a sense I think this prompt is a good example of the assumable issues that exist with the doom scenario that company CEOs will be able to simply tell an LLM what they want and the whole program will be generated flawlessly for them. What

Does it seem obvious? Do you communicate with normal every day people? Because a lot of people have bought VC hype that AI is here to replace every job and they live in fear of the progression of AI.

There's also a news article every few months talking about how the FBI or some other government agency wants to make encryption illegal and how iMessage is a boon to pedophiles all over the world and protects criminals. So, not sure ho

They're using emotional arguments, not rationale ones. Like calling Apple's cut of app sales a "tax", as it is literally not a tax but a normal part of doing business. Similarly the lawsuit claims that iPhone users someh

I know that we all work on what we want to work on for reasons even we do not understand sometimes, but I do wish people motivated to work on projects like this would dedicate that time elsewhere, somewhere they are wanted. Why not make a g

Yeah all this "gotcha" stuff around AI is pretty ridiculous. But it's because there is a massive cognitive dissonance happening in society and technology right now. We want maximum freedom for ourselves to say, do, build, and
