Just revert the code back to pre-26! This is ridiculous, it can't possibly be this hard and if it is, it just points to the degradation in the quality of Apple software! This is maddening!

How is it not pathetic that Apple can't fix this and bring it back to normal behavior? Who is fighting for this stupid behavior? It's driving me crazy as well.

If you're finding their a bad tool for most jobs you're using them for, you're probably being closed minded and using it wrong. The trick with AI these days is to ask it to do something that you think is impossible and it wil

I had the opposite reaction to you. I read the Handmaid's Tale and my first thought after finishing it was "Oh wow, this might actually happen here!"

On one hand, the DOJ gets shit because it was taking too long to produce the documents, and then on another, they get shit because there are mistakes in the redacting because there are 3 million pages of documents.

You should consider medication. I used to be against medication, but after talking with a few of my friends who have gifted children, things like ADHD are extremely common. Avoiding medication and letting them spin in the wind is not a good

You, my friend, are profoundly gifted, especially if you scored that high as an adult. That said, it only describes how your brain works, it doesn't describe how high achieving you will be. That is an amalgamation of all your life expe

They understand things the first time. I remember taking calculus in university and hitting my head against the wall because I couldn't understand the concepts. This kid and his cohorts, they hear a concept for the first time, and they

No. My friend's child is profoundly gifted (160+ IQ). He is 12 years old and finishing Calculus and next year will be taking college math courses. His friends are a year younger than him and have qualified for AIME since they were 8 ye

> LLMs hallucinate and make all kinds of hard-to-predict and sometimes hard-to-detect errors. AutoGPT had a tendency to report that it had completed tasks that it hadn’t really, and we can expect OpenClaw to do the same. Ah, so a bit mor

The entire article talks about how almost no one can tell the difference and it's not worth the money. If practically no one can tell the difference between 8k and 4k then no one can tell the difference between 6k and 4k. The effort to

Why would 6K be better if no one can tell the difference between 4K and 8K? For sure no one would be able to tell the difference between 4K and 6K.

There is different pacing throughout film history but that's not what the original article is about. The original article is talking about how film students can't sit through movies and that's because of attention spans and p

No you're wrong. It's not about the era. Matt Damon talked about this on the Joe Rogan podcast recently. He was asked by Netflix to create a big action sequence in the first 5 mins so that people on their phones would get hooked i

As someone who has been actively trading silver for the past year, the real reason that silver plummeted is because: 1) the market was looking for an excuse and the new Fed chain nominee was as good a reason as anything. 2) The margin requi

The banks are not getting wiped out by the silver rally. JP Morgan has not been engaged in shorting the silver markets for years. This is a baseless conspiracy theory, and JPM has also been accused of shorting BTC as well. The entire narrat

All the investors before 2019 got multiples of their investment. So series B is worth about 250M and series C is worth about 625M. Series C-2 is worth about 1.5B. Series D is worth 425M and Series D2 is worth 300M because of LP. That's

The first thing prisoners will do is destroy the tablet. I'm okay with both restricting prisoners' abilities to get direct mail, and I'm okay with allowing subscriptions go directly to the prison library. I am not inclined to

I believe that criminals should have a terrible experience in jail, so that they don't want to return again. I don't think it should be comfortable at all.

No. The last two investment tranches will get back their money, based on 1X liquidation preference. Employees who joined in the last 5 years if they got options are fucked. If they have RSUs then they will take a fraction of their equity. I

The investors all have liquidity preferences so the ones that invested at higher valuations didn't lose any money. But all employees after 2021 are underwater. I wonder if they got any relief from management or if they got screwed.

Every single open source model I've used is nowhere close to as good as the big AI companies. They are about 2 years behind or more and unreliable. I'm using the large parameters ones on a 512GB Mac Studio and the results are stil

There needs to be a law that prevents companies from simply banning you, especially when it's an important company. There should be an explanation and they shouldn't be allowed to hide behind some veil. There should be a real proc

None of those customers can afford to cancel their orders. OpenAI, Google and Meta cannot afford to get cheap on GPUs when presumably they believe GAI is around the corner. The first company to achieve GAI will win because at that point all
