I wouldn't want to burden my family with the debt. Especially if it might not ultimately work. That said, I appreciate that costs will go down over time--even if only somewhat, if the author is correct.

Thrilled. Of course, I want to see Bard for myself. I pay for OpenAI to use unlimited GPT4 right now. Maybe I end up not having to do that, we'll see, it depends on how it performs. I wasn't impressed previously but with each upda

I think you're referring largely to women's beauty/fashion products, not mens; I haven't noticed this type of logo with the products I use or on clothes I buy. And to whatever degree the logo might be feminine, I certain

It's like dating apps. Letting people buy reach, rather than relying on "merit," can make people's feeds worse. And yet you have to make money. It's a balancing act. You want to turn the ads spigot on just enough th

This is entirely unrelated to Krita, but on the "free beer" mention: I had heard free as in beer, and also free as in puppies. But two that I heard recently and loved that make different points: Free as in mattress, and free as in

To your first question, I am. And higher quality, not just quantity. As far as code, it's admittedly not the main part of my job and not my biggest strength, so yeah I need the help. I ask it to solve small problems, not write the enti

I should clarify. Since I was at the airport, I compared it to Best Buy's ONLINE price, not the store price. My mistake, it didn't occur to me that those might be different, but it does speak well for the vending machines!

Apple/Google should allow people to answer phone calls from strangers with a voice changer. It's way too easy to clone someone's voice and cause harm. Alternatively, they could notify you if they detect a faked voice, but may
