I just tried it on several of my repos and I was rather impressed. This is another one of those bizarre situations that keeps happening in AI coding related matters where people can look at the same thing and reach diametrically opposed con

The mismatch between what people not on it think TikTok is like and what it's actually like (once you get the algo tuned to your taste) is pretty crazy. But then the "new user" experience is so horrific in terms of the tack

He didn't want to (and didn't use for core functionality) - this was a an integration specifically to help customers who already used GCP.

I'm actually working on something moderately hard but I am admittedly slightly incompetent.

"Use" != "reliance" (There's actually a nuanced conversation to be had on this - but from your tone, I'm not sure that's what you intended)

Quite nice to be called a "kid" at my age. Thanks!

What a weird top comment. It opens with some subtle name calling ("adherents"?), an unwarranted conclusion and then a statement about what LLMs lack (which is no surprise) that we're meant to draw a conclusion from? I find th

Don't push at all until I authorize it. That's what Codex does.

I will never understand why people tolerate the US healthcare system. If anything points to complete ideological capture of the general population then it's this. (I live in the UK if that's relevant)

I use it (and Codex web) specifically when I'm not at my desk (or I am but in the middle of something else) and I want to do something fairly speculative. Kinda either exploratory or investigative. I may or may not use the results but

I wish it didn't make public PRs to public repos. I sometimes fire off really speculative and sometimes silly requests and I really don't want a permanent record of these on an open source Github project. I could work on a fork bu

If AI code is non-copyrightable, does this not achieve the aims of copyleft by different means? I'm playing a bit fast and loose here but there's a solid idea at the heart of this statement - I'm just on the cusp of going to

Exactly this. You can build and ship headsets and make a profit if you're not also running a moonshot R&D division off the same balance sheet.

Cardboard still exists. Daydream was shelved. I might boot up my Lenovo Mirage to see if it still has any functionality that works. (I bought and never finished Virtual Virtual Reality which is actually well regarded)

The promise is "it's just OpenXR on Android" but I wasn't granted access to a dev kit so I have no idea.

I discovered this when I needed an easy way to get stuff to and from a Steam Deck. I now use it on my Windows and Linux PCs, Macbook, Android phone, Meta Quest and the Steam Deck!

The 2 minutes thing feels out by one or two orders of magnitude. But then - I'm constantly amazed by how everyone's subjective and presumably honest accounts of their experiences with AI differ so wildly.

I love how few comments on this and similar posts give much context along with their advice. Are you hosting a church newsletter in your spare time or a resource intensive web app with millions of paying enterprise customers and a dedicated

Except you'd never say that. You'd say "The Netflix app is available on [...]" Because the app is the service. Which isn't the case with Apple TV hence the potential confusion.

The Schleswig-Holstein email migration is so complicated, only three men in Europe have ever understood it. One was Prince Albert, who is dead. The second was a German professor who became mad. I am the third and I have forgotten all about

I code in the sun a fair amount just with a Macbook. Not direct direct sun - but outdoors on an English summer's day. Main things are: 1. Use light mode not dark mode 2. Max out screen brightness (obvs) - there are hacks for HDR displa

Well we know it's a gaussian splat, we know what the inputs are (RGB and 6dof pose) and we know how gaussian splat training is usually done...

"Logically equivalent" is a very limited subset of "equivalent (in meaning)". Language is funny like that.

Zuck said from the beginning this was a long term bet. We can debate the wisdom of that call and its timescale but let's assume he thinks of it as a 20 year thing. Until that time period is up then surely it's "spent" ra

Ironically this is currently very ill suited to gaming. (However, I personally think there's plenty of use cases beyond gaming. Including "it's just intrinsically cool to be somewhere that no longer exists")
