As someone who made websites in the geocities days, it's amusing to me that one of the tell-tale signs of a Gemini-built website is a MARQUEE! I genuinely love that the marquee tag is making a come-back due to what I can only imagine w

This is basically the same as the previous version, the "food plate" that Michelle Obama rolled out in 2011: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/03/business/03plate.html It's amusing how outra

Yeah my first thought was to view what changed, if anything, during peak COVID or the later issues. This is still wonderful.

I expected that others would have opposing experiences and tried to reflect that in my comment. People are different sizes, flying different class, frequenting different airports, traveling with families or solo, for longer or shorter perio

Being on the actual plane is the most uncomfortable part of the entire experience, for me at least. Others may disagree, but I'd rather cut an hour from the flight than the entire commute/parking/security/airport waiting

When I created my chess variant and had to create an engine, I used ChatGPT and was surprised that it worked, too. But it was fun learning its flaws.

I think theoretically, it's okay for LLMs to write legal briefs, to replace attorneys. Write the best argument you can with whatever tools you want. What worries me is the idea of them replacing JUDGES.

I think there some jobs where community acknowledgment of "oh wow you do THAT job, thank you" can make up for lower pay. I think in states that have low teacher pay, for example, many think it's worth it so long as it comes w

I think it's a bit more complicated. More people can sometimes slow things down. You may need to simplify processes, instead. I agree with the original quote, though.
