We like to pretend that this is something new. Before free porn on the internet, what did people do? - They bought porn from stores (no anonymity) - They rented porn from hotel rooms - They paid for it on pay per view channels (how many kid

As a sibling poster has said, I don't know how much on-device AI is going to matter. I have pretty strong views on privacy, and I've generally thrown them all out in light of using AIs, because the value I get out of them is just

Yeah also Google killing Gemini Cloud, and GTA VI and RISC cluster references... This is really good stuff.

This has been my view too... all these years, all these organizations with collective billions, and didn't anyone have the vision to say, let's all pool some money together and actually get these open source alternatives to shed s

I’ve used ACA plans off and on for about a decade. They’ve mostly been as good (of not better) than the employer plans we had once or twice. So my guess is this is heavily state dependent. Maryland as a state isn’t hostile to ACA so I think

Rhino 3d was the first 3d modeling app I had ever used. I was in high school. It was so hard :-) but very cool. Used to take an hour to render a simple teapot. I could probably render that in realtime now.

For my CMS I’d love to get an AI to nicely frame a picture in certain aspect ratios. Like of I provide an image, give me coordinates for a widescreen, square, portrait, and 4x3 using a photographers eye. Any model that can do that? I tried

I’m sorry but I have no idea what you’re even saying. I’m talking about ratings like we have in movies, tv shows, games, music, apps. Many facets of our lives. Or nutrition labels.
309.
by atonse 11mo ago
I strongly disagree. Having ratings on content isn’t censorship. It’s providing additional information. Like a nutrition label. It’s your choice (as an adult) what you want to do with that information.

Hmmm then I bet it was a flaw. Or maybe modern scales have microcontrollers that adjust for this? This was a scale in a jeweler in India. It might have been in the late 80s or mid-90s. I might be misremembering too. So take my anecdote with

by atonse 11mo ago
This reminds me of making a trip to a jeweler when I was < 10 years old, and noticing that they had a weighing scale that seemed to be down to decimal points of a gram (which I guess counts when you're weighing gold, etc). And the n

I pay $100/month for Claude Max, and I've already said it, I would go up to $500 a month and wouldn't hesitate for a second. I'd probably start to hesitate for $1,000 maybe, only cuz I know I wouldn't be able to use

One more thing I hope doesn't change, is the fun Release videos :-) I really enjoy them. They're very apple-y, and for just a programming tool.

I will start by saying I haven't used Windows as my full time desktop in 20 years. I did use VS/Windows for 2 years while I did a C# project in 2013-2014, managed a bunch of windows servers, used (and liked) powershell, everything

Yeah we ended up doing that, thanks. And it took a good 2 hours of fiddling to be able to access the files in windows.

Yeah and the fact that this basically hasn’t improved in a decade tells me that it’s likely that nobody actually works on Siri. Not to mention the iOS keyboard has gotten so bad in the last year that it took me 3x longer to type this commen

I am advising a dev team that's used to using windows to use WSL for the new NextJS app we're building. But the filesystem performance really put a huge spoke in this. I thought everything was better with WSL2, but I was surprised

I think the parent was asking you for evidence of articles with bias, though. Not evidence of Musk making fun of Wikipedia. I’m also curious to see any egregious violations where grok also dug its heels in a biased way when presented with a

by atonse 11mo ago
Yeah I’ve seen the ability to suggest edits to grok and you can provide supporting evidence. I haven’t done it myself though. But I’ve seen screenshots on X showing grok responding to the edits.

by atonse 11mo ago
But is there any reason to not treat this as Wikipedia? As in, just suggest a correction?

That’s crazy small. So is it fair to say that words are actually the best compression algorithm we have? You can explain complex ideas in just a few hundred words. Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words, but imagine how much information i

Sooo does this mean that pregnant women definitely should not be doing roofing work or riding motorcycles? Would that make them the humans most likely to go to a hospital?

Interesting that their website ( https://iceberg.mit.edu ) looks quite obviously vibe coded. Products like v0.dev (and gemini-3 with nano banana in general) continue to get better at building website designs that don't look o

While that video looks cool from a "Red Bull Video of crazy people doing crazy things" type angle, that looks extremely dangerous for day to day use. You're one pothole or bad road debris away from a year in the hospital at b

Good point. Then it's actually an active attempt, right? Also I realized my statement was a bit harsh, I know someone probably worked hard on this, but I just feel it's easily circumvented, as opposed to some of the watermarks in

Let me clarify, when I perform interviews, I tell my candidates they can do _everything_ you would do in a normal job, including using AI and googling for answers. But just to humor you (since I did make that strong statement), without goog

I can't tell if this is a joke app or seriously some snake oil (like AI detectors). Isn't it trivially easy to just detect these unicode characters and filter them out? This is the sort of thing a junior programmer can probably do

Geez lord I can’t believe this ever made it out of testing. Even all the text selection stuff stinks. Honestly I’m about to disable Apple Intelligence. I don’t know what’s going on there. What is everyone working on over at apple? Anyone ch
