This doesn’t surprise me. I work for a company that hires a substantial headcount from TCS, probably one of their biggest clients, and the quality of the work is astonishingly bad. I’d recommend avoiding at all costs but we all know these c

100% this. As some who’s regularly derided by his colleagues for “hating meetings”: I don’t “keep meetings to a minimum”, I “keep meetings to a benefit”. If I’ve called a meeting it’s because there’s a benefit to the instant vocal communica

I can already see how this plays out, it falls flat, the increasing decline in search coincides with industry wide realisation LLMs still can’t achieve AGI, this sets alarm bells ringing, they offer a new system for advertisers to promote c

The key delineation here is the work is voluntary. I was uneasy reading the article and weighing it up, realised that the author could choose not to work whilst he serves time. If he was being coerced into labour however, which the for-prof

I don’t understand how a company that has effectively defined modern interfaces, which has the clout to hire the best of the best, has resulted in this. I fear the apple is starting to rot on the inside.

Anyone using that exercise in melodramatics as their basis for probability of nuclear war deserves to be laughed it and subsequently ignored.

I had same issue and it’s ultimately what killed the Moonlander for me - I dedicated time to get better at touch typing (I already do it from years of chatting in games) and dialling in a layout that worked for how I use computers. Only to

I have this issue with Devin. Given my limited knowledge of how these work, I believe there is simply too much context for it to take a holistic view of the task and finish accordingly. If both OpenAI and Devin are falling into the same pat

Something irked me about this post as a long term EM, and then reading the final part actually provided the clarity: The author is a sociopath. Stalking your superiors is insane. Most of the behaviour here is insane. Decoy cup size? Present

Overly nihilistic view. As someone who was a working nightclub DJ for 5 years, these kind of tools lower the barrier for entry into the hobby and trade and also serve as a great backup plan. It’s not intended as a replacement to a curated c

Because the wealth is unequal, sure, but look at how much better the human quality of life is compared to even 50 years ago. What is wealth when everyone is fed, watered and entertained? Only stating this as an explanation to why there has

I’m full in on Apple and hoped they nuked iCloud in the UK for this rather than compromise the product. This is still better than a back door but it sets an awful precedent.

They’ve got the weird shit covered still, apparently the joy cons in this gen can be used as mice. Was heavily rumoured/leaked and this teaser video literally shows them gliding along a surface. How Nintendo will leverage that function

It does make you wonder, Safari recently had a burst in features where they modernised and even overtook Chromium/FF in some features, and then in the past year or so it’s languishing again. I do wonder if the metrics show the average
