Software doesn’t get confused - it fails. Referring to your software as autonomous when you have to staff a 24/7 response center of humans to control it is not just misleading, it’s a lie.

Wow, interesting timing for this PR blast considering the admission in the Senate Commerce Committee hearing. Not transparent at all!

Sometimes, I feel like this is indicative of the incredible waste present in IT and development. Granted the cost of this kind of infrastructure upheaval is orders of magnitude cheaper than something like manufacturing - but still, it feels

I must follow this up with today’s anecdote - heading home far later than usual from Midtown, stuck behind a Waymo in light traffic, inexplicably going 20 in a 35 with no one in front of it for nearly a mile. I loathe these things, they’re

Being "Just a Developer" was never a thing for anyone above Junior level, AI code generation hasn't changed anything about that. In fact, AI code generation hasn't changed much at all for anyone with a significant amount

As someone who lives in a city with a lot of Waymos (Atlanta), I do not understand why anyone considers these things more than an early test or a novelty. From an outside perspective, they're constantly obstructing traffic and driving

> It cuts both ways. The app store payment disincents consuming content from iPhones (indirectly, as the iPhone-heavy creators raise their prices). That is not remotely a balanced comparison. An iPhone has more than the purpose of consum

Creators on Patreon are already loosely bound to the market of other creators. Not all creators are affected by this change. The app store payment cut harms only creators who have disproportionately high percentages of patrons that primaril

Many types of brain stimulation require electrodes placed inside the skull. The term was likely chosen to differentiate this technique from those.

This is really interesting to me because I don’t think I fall into either category, but I can easily place a majority of people in my life into these two categories pretty solidly.

I am just so utterly tired of AI companies lying about everything, constantly without end. The things that modern machine learning can do are absolutely incredible, mindblowing and have myriad uses. But this culture of startup scams to siph

I understand the urge to call it a coverup (I am very suspicious of this as well), but it is entirely possible that this is also just good old fashioned incompetence. Professionals in some fields, especially medical, often do not like to be

That's the problem, though. There was an in-depth investigation planned, thanks in part to that doctor. It was then cancelled by the officials in charge, with the excuse that the doctor's work was improperly conducted. That acti

This is such a frustrating situation to read about, because it is clear that Dr. Marrero is out of his depth, but it’s also clear that whatever this cluster is - real or imagined - was horribly mismanaged by the health officials in charge.

For other people you may have a good point - I chose laziness for this person specifically because they mentioned not having to do it for so long that they didn’t know where to start. I do think of laziness a lot less negatively than other

I’ve really had a similar experience as well. I’m just entering the double digits in number of printers owned, but I’ve resold both of my resin printers. They are capable of incredibly impressive detail but the labor and safety investment r

Those things exist because of eachother. If you’re not using a reactive framework, you probably have no need for a bundler and if you’re not using a bundler, you probably have no need for a build pipeline.

You were never able to stop using the techniques you learned, and you were always able to keep up with minimal effort - you didn’t need to learn any frameworks. I’m glad you’re having fun, but you didn’t need AI to overcome some laborious h

I think you'd get a lot more people interested in trying your project out if you included steps on how to generate vectors for the search as a document. I love PHP, but I will realistically admit that most people interested in using PH

This is a pretty funny project, you've outsourced the neurotic developers that keep their task manager open and kill off processes they don't like. I wouldn't call it replacing the scheduler though - more that you've mad

I made one example for you when you suggested that the original author made a strawman, and you went on an unhinged rant in response with no bearing on the subject. No goalposts have been moved - you are simply rambling on unrelated nonsens

If we’re talking about AI as a concept - sure. But there are tools made specifically for this purpose, to the point that some artist’s names are preprogrammed into them for use. That’s a bit beyond what you’re saying, that’s a tool you can

Conflating a machine that uses the works of a living, working artist to mimic their style with a watercolor filter is so disingenuous it doesn’t deserve a response. Don’t waste my time with this run-on drivel when you wont engage with the t

It certainly does, that's why it's been a common dev tool for a bit over 20 years. I'm not really sure what the point of OP making it a web app is, though.
