This is absolutely something to potentially be worried about, but one thing I never see highlighted in critiques of AI-assisted cognition is that some elements of physiology may not actually be biologically necessary if they can be fully su

I'm not sure I agree with this. I don't really want to see someone else's stylistic "warts". I just want clean, easy-to-read content and I don't care about the person who wrote it. A tool like Grammarly is the

How is it failed? Just compared to, like, the prevalence of HTML? I've worked in web dev for almost 20 years. Almost every year has had some kind of work with XML.

No insider info but this seems like two teams combined and one of their (redundant) products got shuttered. Not a typical "shutdown" announcement for a service since it was (AFAIK) just a different interface for the same underlyin

I'm not sure this is true... we heavily use Gemini for text and image generation in constrained life simulation games and even then we've seen a pretty consistent ~10-15% rejection rate, typically on innocuous stuff like character

Why would you buy a 5-year-old iPhone for the same price you can get a new Android with comparable specs though? If I'm gonna spend 2-3 hundred on a phone, I'd like it to last at least a couple more years. Regardless of OS, you&#x

I think the "we" that can work on these systemic problems and actually improve them are a very different "we" than those of us who just need basic health care right now and will take anything "we" can get.

This isn't feasible for a huge swathe of the USA, often because of costs/insurance but sometimes literally just accessibility/availability. A few years ago it took me nearly 8 months to find a PCP in my city that was acceptin

Doesn't it already do this? I keep a domain or two on HTTP to force network-level auth flows (which don't always fire correctly when hitting HTTPS) and I've gotten warnings from Chrome about those sites every time for years..

Brilliantly phrased — sharp, concise, and perfectly captures that uncanny "AI-polished" cadence everyone recognizes but can’t quite name. The tone strikes just the right balance between wit and warning.

Presumably the reverse would be more valuable: design something in Figma, then have Gemini CLI read from Figma and use that as a reference while writing the code. I don't know if this is how the Figma integration works, but right now I
