They have an "answer now" button that stops the reasoning and starts the reply. Same with Gemini.

I'm excited about this. The previous generation base model 15" Air was good enough for our company to make it the default computer for everyone. Previously we were giving out base model MBP's. And they're $1000 cheaper.

Same experience here: someone at our company had a bricked Macbook Pro. It was previously MDM-managed with JamF, and it wouldn't boot up. Asked ChatGPT to give me steps to fix it. The first set of steps didn't work, so we iterati

Manual vs. automatic is a better comparison. Driving a manual isn’t a required life experience by any means. But the overwhelming majority of people who know how to drive manual appreciate the knowledge and experience. (And it’s not necessa

You're not wrong, but I hate the idea of an entire generation growing up without ever using a full powered computer. (Full powered is the wrong word, more like fully capable computer) We have an entire generation who only knows how to

It’s funny to think that, like AI, people take actions and use corporations as a shield (legal shield, personal reputation shield, personal liability shield). Adding AI to the mix doesn’t really change anything, other than increasing the la

Devils advocate: I don’t think this would work due to the cash flow uncertainty the models causes. If universities don’t know how much they’re going to bring in over the next few years, they won’t be able to budget effectively. And then th

If that’s true, why isn’t everyone already doing it? Especially if 87% of student loans are forgiven during bankruptcy - maybe people just aren’t aware it’s possible.

Allowing student debt to be canceled during bankruptcy would be a good first step (possibly even better than canceling student debt across the board). To your point, making it easy to cancel debt teaches borrowers that debt isn’t a serious

I think that’s a valid stance to take. IMO it’s (unfortunately) the public’s responsibility to learn the lesson that LLM’s shouldn’t be trusted without double checking the source — same position Wikipedia was in 10 years ago. “Don’t use Wik

I used it for about a year with a small team. It worked well for what it does, but the functionality is definitely stripped down and barebones compared to Slack. I don't remember any performance or reliability issues.

Yikes. So even if I store my wealth in cash, you want it to deflate by 5% annually? How do you handle your neighbor who discovers he has a $2m Pokémon card in his closet? Is he forced to sell it to pay the 5% if he doesn’t have the cash on

The main counterargument: You buy 1 BTC at $60k in 2024. In 2025 it’s valued at $100k, so you pay taxes on $40k gain. Now it’s 2026 and you finally decide to sell the BTC for the original price of $60k. Except you’ve paid taxes on $40k in p
