Google is/was in a somewhat special situation that they could show you ads that were relevant to what you are looking for. In 95% of the websites I visit this is simply not true. As usual just because Google uses it and seems to be suc

With the right context both are pretty good actually. I think the emoji one is most pronounced in bullet point lists. AI loves to add an emoji to bullet points. I guess they got it from lists in hip GitHub projects. The other one is not as

This would still be valuable even if the LLM only finds out about things that are already in the air. It’s probably even more of a problem that different areas of scientific development don’t know about each other. LLMs combining results wo

I’m actively involved in two communities. The first is the NetHack roguelike community, and the second is the fan community of a German internet broadcaster that has existed, in one form or another, for about 25 years. On average, I’d say b

You also got a language easier to use and learn than C/C++. With universities almost immediately jumping to Java as an introductory language you got way more potential employees.

The JVM proved to the mainstream that a virtual machine good be as fast (sometimes even faster) than a compiled binary. Because of that it took a lot of the market share of C/C++ in the 90s. You got a buffer overflow safe language with
