Will someone _please_ make a decent linux phone already so we can stop this nonsense.

Does one ever still need to learn new languages or coding skills if an AI will be able to do it?

I find myself even for small work, telling CC to fix it for me is better as it usually belongs to a thread of work, and then it understands the big picture better.

This was proven to be false on the WAN show. Only 20% of transactions were low confidence and handled by mechanical turk. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=433kipkEERY&t=8479s

I’m sad that people are spending time on this when they should be building a Linux phone.

The iPhone 17 delivers significant display, battery, camera, and memory improvements. The aluminum switch does enhance thermal performance, but calling it the "only tangible" upgrade requires ignoring ProMotion displays, 36% longe

Is anyone else annoyed by Finder's terrible search box? Everytime I try to search something, it seems to insert random results in the list that have nothing to do with the term. I have to always explicitly click Filename so it only sea

Why are you comparing the latest Google flagship phone with a previous generation iPhone? The iPhone 17 is better than a Pixel 10 on most if not all fronts.

My instructor and I were launched using a powered winch launch. As we were ascending, another glider passed over us and barely missed us. They later claimed they didn't see us, though they were later found to be at fault.

I love gliding but had a near-miss experience and am scared to fly a glider plane ever since. Statistically it's about 40x times more dangerous than driving.

Lots of negative comments here. OpenAI has to make a move, they are not profitable and have massive costs and debt. I think this one of the least bad moves, given all data that they have on users. They could have monetized their data so m

Nothing in particular, but apps in general take slightly longer to open and close. The UI sometimes freezes for a second when doing certain actions.

Might as well get the iPhone 17. It's bigger, but not that much. Also a lot of apps aren't designed with iPhone minis in mind. I have been using a iPhone mini 12 for 3 years now and love it, but I won't keep it simply becaus

After reading Nadella's Hit Refresh on how he revived Microsoft, what's happening now is a 180 degree turn from that. I have no idea what's going on.

Agreed, it's never been a better time to start a startup with a very small team.

What’s with the negativity? Deepmind is one of the lesser evil companies. Remember Alphafold? If there’s someone that can do something useful for humanity, it’s Demis.

APIs are too unreliable + they throttle/429 and may ask for KYC. In contrast, HTML works everywhere and scraping code barely needs to be changed. An API is only useful when content is behind a login paywall, and only needed for legal r

This is great. Even if it doesn’t actually keep teens off, it sends the message that social media is bad for you. Just like smoking and drinking.

RCT was great. My favorite RCT successor is Planet Coaster, it's basically a modern 3D version of RCT with great graphics, ride cam, and the same general vibe.

Modern CPUs do billions of floating point operations per second. Calculating and projecting thousands of vectors is pocket change. On a GPU it’s even more laughably small.
