I did say "usually" and it was meant in reference to the use case you originally gave. Around 30% to 50% of things I used to google for, I now go to ChatGPT for. Often because the available context is better.

AI is usually a better search engine than a search engine.

Skimming this: https://www.kerismith.net/ and seeing some of the people she proudly mentions - it seems like she's just switched cults.

See my reply to another comment - I don't think the divide is as stark as you claim. (And I don't enjoy the value judgement)

The external display being the EyeSight thing? I agree there. That's an expensive boondoggle that will probably be missing in the next iteration in any case. I don't think you can get rid of cameras without reducing the gesture tr

There's nothing really to "throw away" that would make it slighter and smaller whilst still keeping your desired feature set. The reality is that you're using the VR/AR features in one specific way - not that you&#x

Even if this is the case I might not want my library or application to be copyleft. Or even if I do - I might not want everyone else in perpetuity who uses my code to have to use a copyleft licence. This goes back to the fact that not e

Yes. GPL libraries especially. My app project is Apache for historical reasons and can't be changed. https://github.com/icosa-foundation/open-brush/actions (and I'm not sure if I would move to GPL if I c

I see what you mean but I wasn't making a formal logical argument. Rather I meant something like "These particular quotes are more likely to be regarded as inherently meaningful on their own by someone who believes in a univocal,

Read what you wrote and then compare it to my statement. "Theft" has a clear, legal meaning. You are not talking about theft.

Modern academic scholarship paints a very complex picture: https://www.bartehrman.com/hell-in-the-bible/ I would argue that reading random quotes without context can be misleading. Unless of course you believe in a uni

The bible only has sparse and often contradictory references to hell - so it's very difficult to state "what the Bible says about hell" as if there's a unified picture laid out.

Is there a way to limit the number of exclamation marks in the output? It seems a trifle... overexcited at times.

This is not not the question you originally asked. Indeed it's a much better question.

Do I have to repeat "copyright violation isn't theft" on every post for eternity?

I just cancelled - not because I thought the policy change was real - but simply because this article reminded me I hadn't used it much this month.

I've seen multiple overlapping cycles of sentiment towards Windows from within geek culture. Often contradictory and frequently shifting wildly in hindsight. To say it's "more like slop" would imply there was a generally

Never massively noticed the weight but I guess I'm comparing with the OG Vive and other 1st gen headsets. As for the summer thing - I live in the UK so it's less of an issue...

You're doing a genre with a complex timeline somewhat of a disservice here. Dick's career spanned two or three of the broad "waves" of SF. He was embraced by the New Wave authors probably more than any other writer not o

Not GP but I use Virtual Desktop with decent home Wifi so I can max out the quality settings. (I can even work remotely if both sides have very fast broadband) One caveat - this is an alternative to using a laptop and my eyesight is somewha

I'm over 50 and need reading glasses as well as distance glasses. I actually find working in the Quest 3 better than a laptop in many ways. The balance betweeen (virtual) screen size and focussing distance seems to be easier to balance

It's also the topic that has the least literacy and understanding or even coherent debate. Most developed nations are going to have to choose the lesser of several "evils" very soon and there's almost no serious discussi

This makes a lot of sense. But to be honest it feels more like a story about the pathology of hierarchical organisations than anything about AI. I mostly work solo. I use AI when it's either a) interesting or b); useful. Our experience

So - we are at an impasse. Both suspect the other of motivated reasoning and an internal bias that distorts their ability for rational thinking. It's entirely possible we're both irrational to some degree. But that's irreleva
