i would say it's the beginning of a new generation of true social networks. Aka : keep in touch with people you actually know. And not meet strangers or use it like a media.

i really feel like metaverse is only a dream to people with extreme social anxiety. Which may represent a large share of software developers, but only a minority of the general population.

Fully disagree with windows phone. It never reached enough maturity to be a true competitor to ios, but it absolutely could have won over android. the gui was truely innovative (with the « tiles » system), and the general feeling and smooth

although this comment doesn't add anything to the conversation, i find the downvote a bit harsh. I think anybody experience this surprise of seeing someone else have the exact same idea as ours at some point. Then after a bit of time o

Anyone else find this announcement totally pathetic ? In what world does anyone care about meta impersonation anymore ? Does anyone make public announcement on meta beside meta employees ?

Not sure about the article itself, but from an epistemological point of view, i believe this debate will remain one of the most famous of the 21st century (provided NN still keep giving new fantastic results, and doesn’t stop there). Never

Yet their structure being generic for all kind of problems, it doesn’t tell much in itself about the things it managed to « understand ». Much like studying einstein’s brain biology can’t teach you much about general relativity.

i don't think a majority is "silent or opposed". Otherwise those rewrites wouldn't happen. I think there's a strong push from the most extreme part (as always), but the rest is majoritarely complacent (it probably m

i can't understand how the educated left don't see the atrocity of what they're initiating with this trend of rewriting classic literature. We've had so many examples of ideology rewriting the past...

i don't think fat in the past ( like budda statues) has anything to do with fat like today's america. The people in america we're talking about can barely walk. They are not just fat, they're morbidly obese.

Come on. This is just a new form of puritanism, typical from the US. Except this version isn't pushed forward by the right, but by the left.

If you're willing to go a bit further, i recommend adding a "groove" cursor, that slightly shift each box within the beat, at random (then you can have more complex algorithm to make the randomisation move the beat toward a t

You sound like someone who has either never tried chatgpt, or someone who’s so scared of the consequences that it prefers to put its head in the sand. «just a text generator on steroid » is meaningless unless you define what « on steroid» m

ms isn't nearly as intrusive as google. I'm using a mac, browse on firefox, but since i'm using google and because of adsense's everywhere they know everything about me. MS only knows the things i'm typing in vscode
