I give it about 5 minutes before the first child figures out how to jailbreak the tutor into helping it bypass the screen time controls preventing them from playing fortnite.

Claim verification is currently an open problem, as OpenAI admits to in their own promotional docs for ChatGPT. Issue number 1 here seems fairly thorny. And the second statement reveals the real problem: Even if the model was only trained

She's just saying Ackman is throwing good money after bad. Don't see how that's arrogant, it's just a good analysis. Based on his history, Sabatini will most likely end up costing Ackman time/money/trouble. T

Where I agree with you is that _policy_ is a much more direct and effective method of achieving similar ends. However I don't think eating less meat is comparable to carbon credits. The IPCC specifically lists it as a tried and true s

I think this demonstrates how _insidious_ influencer marketing is. We feel like we're privvy to the behind the scenes decision making about this influencer or that one. But we aren't. We don't really know if they are reall

I'm definitely a bit of a curmudgeon when it comes to email. Email is about communication and html gives people tools that they mostly use to make communication harder, not easier. For me, I prefer plain text email when I can get it.

I strongly agree with the heart of what you are saying. One of the worst bugs you can have in a product is to have built the wrong product. A good channel of communication between people who understand the customer and people who are buil

I wonder if videos are a little overused as tutorials. Videos aren't very searchable (yet), and they are unreliable to scan through (in most scrubbing implementations I've seen), so while they are nice to get started, they are ha

I'm not saying the writer's workplace has a meeting problem, but there's a thing that happens at orgs that do have a meeting problem. It becomes normal to double book people, because you can never find a timeslot where someo

Not the OP, but from my perspective, encryption is helpful, but a good portion of security is anonymity, and Signal requires that you use and leak personally identifiable information to even start using it. It also informs you when people i

There's also a lot less genetic information in a typical virus than in a human, so each mutation represents a much larger percentage change. For context: The entire SARS-COV-2 genome is 29,811 nucleotides long. The human genome is aro

It's really true that once you get probability, you see the world, read the news, and solve problems differently. If everyone had a good basis in stats, Vegas would be a Ghost town. But if you spend time thinking about it, trig likely

I disagree with the impulse to discard calculus + trig. You need more statistics than calculus to understand the current state of neural nets in Machine Learning, but you if you don't at least know the chain-rule, you're just usin

I don't believe it is using computer vision to read the pixels and translate that into data, no. It will still get the information about what's on its screen from the API. So presumably it will get the same info you or I could ge

Thank you to you and your colleagues! I bounce back and forth between web and apple front end dev, and at first glance, this hits a lot of the highlights from both worlds.

Storyboard references made composing complex UI possible, but IMX there's almost always some breakpoint where it's just less complex to do it with code.

The funny thing is that while you are driving along a route, Apple Maps is actually pretty good at giving you exactly the info you need on cross streets, calling them out well ahead of time even when you don't need to make a turn there

I think they are just using the Ctrl-Shift-Tab and Ctrl-Tab shortcuts to browse through tabs. Those work in Chrome and Safari, so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard. I haven't found a way to use Contexts to introspect tabs (I

I'm really similar. I hit a point with multiple monitors where I realized that the extra space was more of a distraction than a help. I now use a single monitor/full screen 90% of the time. I use Contexts.app to search through al

And this is the relatively easy case of an app built using Apple technologies. It can be much more difficult if you built a game using a cross platform game engine filled with binary 32bit libraries. If the engine is still around, you migh

Anything that can help make safer/more comfortable cycle routing is great step forward. Cycle routing is definitely more complex that driving because of the issue the article mentions. I tried this out. My city is pretty notorious fo

Heh, that's awesome. I think it illustrates how confused people are in general about where bikes are supposed to be, which I think is a complicated cross of law, culture, cycling ability, and infrastructure. The police have never hass

Have you seen the 2hour+ looping video phenomenon? My friends children introduced me to this. Their favourite videos are extended looping videos of the same 1-minute content. Songs, or funny moments, whatever. Their favourite YouTube act

This is brilliant. DNS + API is a really smart way to build this. If you haven't done it already, it would be pretty straightforward to post a notification to the child's device (via a companion app on selected platforms) as an

From my experience you need three things: 0) You need a goal. * I want to give tech talks is good. I want to talk about X at Y is better. * Keep it realistic. When you achieve it, set the next goal. * Commit to the goal by signing

I live in Calgary. This thread is spot on. I used to visit Edmonton often, and for the warm half of the year, it's just a more livable city than Calgary. Edmonton has actually walkable communities, a sense of genuine hospitality and

We have a flexible WFH system, in that we can work one or two days from home a week as desired/required. It's a 20-25 minute commute to work, and I really notice the difference in the quality of my day when I work from home. I ca

A number of my colleagues print to paper for code review. They find it easier to read and markup in that format. I personally can't stand the idea of using that much paper, but I dig the future-y idea of printing to a read/markup
