I was about to say how this thing is lame because it sounds so forced and robotic and fake, and even though the intonations do make it sound more human-like, it's very clear that they made a big effort to make it sound like natural spe

I've felt pretty productive using ChatGPT to generate snippets for either an API/SDK/language I'm not too familiar with, or moderately simple things that I'm too lazy to do myself. Sometimes that can be a huge time

Wow, awesome work! It's crazy to think about how the FDA itself probably can't answer a question like "how many predicates does device X have", but I guess also on brand with the idea that government is incompetent more

I don't think you're in the minority at all. Just look at the massive number of comments any time some new iToy gets announced. But putting aside the tech jihad for a moment, I'm curious: > It would be 100% in line with th

Gears 5 came out around 5 years ago. Considering the series has consistently rated very well, I doubt they killed it. They're probably just doing the modern AAA thing of spending a decade and a half working on a bloated game with unlim

That's not true. Hardware gives them the ability to create a monopoly on game publishing/distribution, which is why console games have always been so expensive. The platform holder can charge high fees to developers and demand hig

This seems cool and I'm always open to new ways of working, but I am hesitant to trust a third party with my code, especially in this AI gold rush we're living in.

Konsole's default scroll-back is 1000 lines. I wonder what is the simplest, most realistic error a beginner would encounter that exceeds that?

Facebook (and all the other big tech companies) are entrenched monopolists that engage in illegal business practices to maintain their position. This is a net negative for society overall, and a huge detriment to innovation. They're ab

I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories, but I do like crime thrillers so I'll add that one potential reason could be that one or more people at the company are worried about prison time for something they did. That kind of thing cou

That doesn't make sense to me. Why wouldn't maximizing denials always be the priority for an insurance company? If you make denials slower, it will just slow down all cases. Insurance is fundamentally incentivized to scam its own
