Normalize checking notifications 1-3 times per day. Once in the morning, once after work, once some time later in the evening if you feel like it. During working hours there’s rarely any reason to touch or check your personal phone (and in

But is there actually an API for that? Last I checked the big providers Video Intelligence APIs even distinguishing cats and dogs was still unreliable.

It’s interesting how you are probably saying you are scrawny for a westerner, but if you were the oppisite - an ’easterner’ - you wouldn’t be considered scrawny. I bet there are people who would consider ’westerners’, however they define th

Which also means spending a lot of time learning AI tools gets wasted as the tooling improves. I still suspect the vast silent majority of professional software devs haven’t integrated any, even Cursor-style, AI tools in to their main gig.

I’ll spend an anti-hype token :) ChatGPT wasn’t the iphone moment, because the iphone wasn’t quickly forgotten. Outside of software, most adult professionals in my network had a play with chatgpt and have long since abandoned their accounts

Is there anything new that’s come out in conversational/voice? Sesame Maya and Miles were kind of impressive demos, but that’s still in ’research preview’. Kyutai presented really a cool low latency open model, but I feel like we’re st

I meant what I said: chat bots, not models or APIs. Give it a try if you don’t believe me. Try using the leading chat interfaces logged out, from a clean browser and new IP.

Over the past year the chat bots have improved in many ways, but their written output has regressed to the mean: the average RLHF-driven preference. It is word salad, unless you’re a young, underpaid contractor from a country previously col

Seems very backwards for markets where wired/wifi connections at home are nonexistant, 4g/5g is already unmetered and phones are the wifi you connect your devices to.

So, out of interest, what are good TLDR sources for following the gooner scene? Like some highlights newsletter, subreddit, podcast, youtube channel or something? I’m interested in keeping up with their methods, not their results and output

How can it come up with a logo? Is it able to output vector graphics now? Chatgpt and Genini choked on trying to generate even the simplest of 2d shapes, like a 5-pointed star, as svg.

Could you point to a source, please? I’m not super well versed in the history and lore of cloud and AWS, but interested in and invested in arguing for and supporting adoption of (real) sovereign European computing.

Implementation depends on the country and the broadcasters. I know nothing about US and Canadian broadcasting standards. In Europe TV is in most countries sent over DVB-T2 (DVB-C2 in urban areas) which supports SD, HD and FullHD. The older

I’m sceptical this could ever work politically. There are still people watching television on 1980’s hardware. Full HD televisions have been essentially feature complete for over 20 years and should remain relevant for another 20 years, sin

What kind of design work is AI even capable of? I’m not saying the output isn’t occasionally very impressive (as a toy), I’m saying it’s utterly useless in practice. Coming up with a spec or design system? I’m not sure what an AI-generated

To be fair, word processing is a skill that that a majority of professionals continue to lack. Law, civil service, academia and those who learnt enough LaTeX and HTML to understand text documents are in the minority.
