Such a typical example of someone completely rational, forgetting humans aren’t only about logic. People have emotions, doubts, suspicions, trust issues, affect, all of which aren’t easily quantifiable. The reason people don’t want telemetr

i don't think joelonsoftware points apply here. - Their product is still relatively new (7 months of coding isn't that much) and not even released, - they picked a technology specifically designed for the problems they've i

Wonder how long it'll take until SF switches side to either republicans or independent. Maybe once even the super rich leave, and all is left to vote is the crackheads.

This is a bit sad that someone like woz who was at the heart of the computer revolution, on the engineering side, was unable to anticipate how self driving wasn’t anywhere near the corner at the musk sold it. It’s a bit scary as well for an

My experience was more 50% bullshit 50% fact. I did however explicitly forbid members of my team at work to use its code answers for subjects they weren't already experts in. However I'm not advocating using its answers directly,

The fact that i can use this tool as a source of inspiration, or a first opinion on any kind of problem on earth is totally incredible. Now whenever i'm stuck on a problem, chatgpt has become an option . And this happens in the arti

I think this time is the good one. ChatGPT has reached a level where we finally can think of building actually useful products on top of "AI". Note that nobody is pretending that ChatGPT is "true" intelligence (whatever

With this kind of reasoning there would be no way to disrupt a first actor in a new field.

except it would be perfectly acceptable for a comedian on stage to say fuck or cunt, provided the context makes it funny.

« AI doesn’t get an n-word pass » Even a black AI ? See how the situation is turning ridiculous ? Of course an AI should be able to say any word as long as the context makes it clear that it’s not actually insulting anyone. Racism, phobia o

As many people here noticed, the bit has actually nothing to do with transphobia, or gay, but it's about a comedian bombing a show with horrible jokes. What's interesting in this case, is that there can be no "background chec

i know the "pass sync.mutex by value" error was diagnosed by my linter, but are there any plan to fix all those issues in the go compiler itself ? Thoses are really bad footguns.

my point was that analytics on the web is already quite known. Everyone tracks your every move, tiktok won't be able to do much worse.

it's going to be way harder to explain how tiktok is able to collect more personnal data than the regular ecommerce website.

You're confounding the problem of feeding a system with incorrect inputs ( calculator ), with a system that, provided the input are correct, will throw garbage totally at random. This is a very different kind of system with very differ

Continuously learning chatgpt would probably be absolutely insane indeed. Yet it remains that chatgpt has no notion of « truth » or information quality. Whereas google has built a whole system of ranking reliable source of truth for every p

From an aestethic pov, swift is taking the exact opposite direction than go: it keeps piling on more language features, with much less concerns on keeping the language simple. As a developer currently working in both, it feels like jumping

this post makes me realize why swift is starting to look more and more bloated from an end-user pov. It was designed to be right from the beginning. instead of carefully backing off complex problems and slashing features to keep the design
