Programming on a phone is a tough sell for many since typing is slower and you have less screen real estate to view/debug the code. Using an AI agent and typing only prompts makes it more compelling. You input less, and only occasional

Perhaps; but I would argue talking to many AI evangelists is a form of selection bias. Which makes the false dichotomy conclusion reasonable given the inputs, but still inaccurate given reality. True, it's a form of false dichotomy, bu

There have been such a large number of OCR tools pop up over the past ~year; sorely in need for some benchmarks to compare them. Would love to see support for normal OCR tools like tesseract, EasyOCR, Microsoft Azure, etc. I'm using th

Neat idea! Not sure if I'm willing to register just try it, though. Having the main feed public would be nice! Or even a sample feed.

What an interesting use case! And interesting composition. One thing that's interesting about the AI violin cover is that I'm not sure those runs would be physically possible at that speed on a real violin. So that composition can

Not OP, but on the off chance you haven't seen this, I found the suno explorer thing quite nice. Hitting random a few times, I'll usually stumble onto something interesting. This was the first demo I heard where some of the AI tun

I would say too soon to tell. There has been an uptick in ebook slop, but I'm not sure if it's impacted the homogeneity of literature, because I don't think anyone is reading ai ebooks. It's not enough for it to exist to

by cdrini 1y ago
It's unclear to me whether it will result in more homogeneity, as a result of prompts being a coarse medium that results in the AI choosing what it's seen to fill in the rest, or less homogeneity, as a result of more people with n

I think for me my main gripe with air travel is how hard it is to predict the price and how high the prices are. It takes me like a day of research to book a flight due to how careful I have to be to confirm what luggage I'm allowed&#x

I see they offer free cancellations and refunds for their two top-tier tickets, but can't find a reference for them offering it for all tickets. Do you have a link? https://mobile.southwest.com/fare-information/

That would be reasonable, but I think I could take it or leave it. Planes fill up more than hotels would be my guess, so they'd need a buffer window of like a month? At which point the difference between having and not having cancellat

I think charging a fee for passenger cancellation insurance is reasonable; the airline takes on a decent amount of risk if a consumer can cancel at any time.

The best research I've seen on this is: - Threatening or tipping a model generally has no significant effect on benchmark performance. - Prompt variations can significantly affect performance on a per-question level. However, it is har

The way I like to describe it is that you can't go from 1 developer to 0 thanks to AI, but you might be able to go from 10 to 9. Although not sure what the exact numbers are.

I sometimes feel like we throw around the word fact too often. If I misspell a wrd, does that mean I have committed a factual inaccuracy? Since the wrd is explicitly spelled a certain way in the dictionary?

TLDR: That article is pretty low quality, and the "caused millions of people absolutely unrelated to it to have to ration water" doesn't seem like a reasonable conclusion. It's not mentioned at all in the source article.

We are in agreement; I just think saying "lying" implies a level malintent that isn't present -- it's rather overly ungenerous. The poster is at worst incorrect. And their misconception is understandable given the compan

I think lying is a bit strong, I think they're potentially incorrect at worst. The Cloudflare blog post where they announced this a few weeks ago stated "Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, today
