Most obviously AI-written post I think I’ve seen. Have some personal pride, dude. This is literally a post written by AI hyping up AI and posted to a personal blog as if it were somebody’s personal musings. More slop is just what we need.

Nadella and Microsoft are both clowns. His enduring legacy will be fumbling the window Microsoft had two years ago to catapult itself into AI-assisted search and Microsoft was primed to be at the front. Today? All anybody except for Microso

What’s so bad about the paid iOS client? I remember it being expensive when I got it but it works fine for my use case (mix of getting me through part of med school, all of law school, and the just general shit I’d like to remember and lear

ChatGPT can’t even write me a simple working AutoHotKey script so I’m not sure why I’d trust it with any actual coding. As I’ve done for about the past year with OpenAI showcases like this, this elicited an ‘Oh, that’s kinda neat, I’ll just

You think the developer/publisher/maintainer of software as ubiquitous as Notepad++ is some 'random person on the internet'? Or are you referring to the commenter I was replying to? I definitely am not upset at the comme

Yeah, that refers to the MITM attack on the update server. We have no fucking clue what they actually did while they were in the middle - whatever exploit code was running may very well be running right now on compromised machines. Nobody k

What does whether they’d go bankrupt or not have to do with whether they’re an ad company? They sell third party ads: companies unaffiliated with Apple pay Apple to advertise on Apple platforms. They’re an ad company. Just because it’s curr

The Russian government isn’t reasonable (nor is it particularly competent), but neither is blaming the Russians for every bad thing that happens in the world. Sometimes trains derail. A track buckling due to shit maintenance is the Occam’s

I never said Russia isn’t the problem. But intentionally flying your 777 over an active war zone is asinine regardless, is it not?

Are you suggesting this leads to more inspections or better inspections or better build quality or what?

Out of all the EU countries Russia would be likely to sabotage (Germany and the UK come immediately to mind), you think the Russians would do this in… Spain which, to my knowledge, doesn’t seem to have much of an opinion on anything and is

That’s not the point, though. Don’t fly a commercial passenger jet over an active known war zone. Then you don’t even really have to think about whether the separatists below you know whether your signature looks like a fighter jet or not l

Weird hill to die on bud. If somebody bought something from Walmart you wouldn’t insinuate he’s at fault because he bought it from a ‘sketchy retailer’. Just stop it lol. There is literally no way to defend Apple on that one.

I mean, I'm the exact opposite. Ask ChatGPT to write a simple (but novel) script for AutoHotKey, for example, and it can't do it. Gemini can do it perfectly on the first try. ChatGPT has been atrocious for me over the past year, a

Maybe not for crypto, but they did spend a year or two surreptitiously installing their own VPN service on your Widows machine without any opt-out ability, and then failed to remove it, its Windows service, or multiple scheduled tasks once

LLMs are dogshit in many ways but when it comes to programming they are faster than people, respond instantaneously to further information, and can iterate until they understand the problem fully. Bonus is that you don’t get some dipshit be

You clearly don’t play competitive shooters and thus aren’t qualified to opine on the matter. Competition vs other human beings is the entire point of that genre, and the intensity when you’re in the top .1% of the playerbase in Overwatch&#

Thanks for the thought but from what I’ve heard from friends I’ll be keeping the final season unwatched just like I did with the last 2 episodes of GoT.

Skimming and being able to quickly decide if something is worth actually reading is itself a valuable skill.
