I think this is mostly just a problem of not having good reasons to sell AI products to consumers in the first place. I recently saw some Ray Ban Meta glasses ads. One of them had a guy ask the glasses to describe what was in front of his f

As I understand it, desalination produces brine, and that needs to be disposed of. Where does all of that go?

Thanks. I have a relative who was recently diagnosed and I heard their first treatment was very expensive (an order of magnitude more than 8k). I was curious what medication cost 8k, as finding the true cost for drugs is often quite difficu

You misunderstand how Shazam works. Nothing is “sent in full”.

It's been awhile since I've been in a data center, but fiber cables were usually the ones that seemed to have more staying power even when they started to flake. Maybe because some of them were long runs and they weren't chea

Yes, the answer must be additional processes and procedures. That way, you’ll never make a mistake! /s Also bizarre to frame this as “unacceptable behavior”, as if whoever is involved was in some way aware of their mistake and/or

Parent comment never suggested it was legal. They said it would be bad if this info was in their SalesForce and they leaked the key, which they did.

When did this scrolly website thing come back into fashion? I feel like it was hot about 10 years ago, and recently that daylight computer website and now this one use it. It's an incredibly bad experience that I thought we'd grow

An assumption you're making here that you can even write an adapter layer for the V2 API. There may be things you wish to _remove_ in the V2 API. V2 does not always mean "add more stuff", it can often mean rethinking "wh

I do agree that it is lame. However, money sinks like gambling can be seen as a part of the in-game economy and are a useful tool to take money out of circulation. I don’t necessarily have a problem with judicious use of it, but if the poin

I also find that it's a nice exercise on the way to learning a new language. I spend a lot of time in Clojure, so I'll ask and answer "okay where are the lambda-like things, how do I apply them over collections" and then

Context always matters. I have no trouble imagining scenarios in which I would prefer a chatbot, and scenarios where I would prefer or even require a human. However, one way in which chatbots are often preferred: They cost less to the busin

I noped out at "Rubocop makes things better". It seems I'm not the only one in these comments who has encountered rubocop config gatekeepers. It seems there's always one person who vigorously defends some stylistic choic

This is so familiar it hurts. I worked on something which originally had the goal of giving doctors more time with patients, and it was slowly but surely steered towards being a useful tool for insurance companies. I was too naive to see it

I have a background in expert systems in a medical context, and it is wild to see people reaching for LLMs in this space. Having a clear audit trail for how a decision was reached is a requirement, and these tools don’t provide it.

A variation on this theme is that I frequently run across bios full of buzzword nonsense, and then the phrase "learning to code" in it.
