I was more thinking of Github Copilot, but ChatGPT is similarly good at programming. Programming is arguably even less error-forgiving than providing a written answer to math problems (I was more thinking of problems that ask for an analyti

I like using KVM switches for connecting multiple sources - if you are using multiple laptops/PCs, it has the benefit that you can use the same keyboard/mouse for all of them.

I guess it's my problem, but having been blown away by AI so often recently, I was sort of expecting more here. I suppose an AI that could generate full text problem statements together with sample solutions for basic university level

TikTok used to be called musical.ly and was a platform for publishing short playback lip-sync and dance videos. If you're dead-set on naming an intellectual relative among 'western' apps/sites, Vine would be the closest

I for one am quite glad that modern AI-powered cameras have increasingly less blur on their images. I know that focusing on one depth is how physical lenses (including our eyes) work, I know that it can be an artistic tool. But for most of

Exactly, shameful framing. But it should be noted that he veered onto the clearly wrong path even sooner than you suggest: by taking user deposits and putting them into anything other than what the users had instructed them to hold with i

Not sure what you mean. I was fascinated by the idea of telling a machine what to do before I got started. That's what got me started. I tried it out with the first programmable machine I could get my hands on, which turned out to be a

It's a good question what exactly they meant by 'at cost', but it's at least going to be the plain hardware cost (plus maybe shipping), I suppose. And the point of the parent and GP was that the overheads shouldn't
