No, I don't know. Maybe this exact reply is why you get the interactions you do though. You perceive opposing viewpoints or poking holes in logic as "hating on you", which is playing the victim, followed by alluding to conspi

Mostly because perverts tend not to press charges when they're confronted, not because they wouldn't have legal standing. Also your scenario is clearly not what I was replying to about civil disobedience.

I don't think you could plausibly do this and only catch a property crime charge. If you're caught, forcefully removing worn objects from another person will almost certainly catch you a misdemeanor battery charge in most US juris

I think we are approaching that now, with correct expectations. With frontier large models you can often one-shot tasks with vague prompts for stuff like creating CRUD APIs and dashboards around a simple data model since it's such a so

Poke looks like a startup with a 2 month head start that's also unvetted in the market, not a case study of permitted behavior and success at subverting iMessage with agents. Does anyone know if Apple even knows Poke exists yet? Likewi

How are your financial incentives aligned against sending spam? From this side, your words seem hollow and the typical viability of these businesses relies on sending spam.

The tourist portions of the city are created and supported by the surrounding population; they generate the parade, music, and celebratory culture year round. We can't just abandon or move the residential areas and keep the rest intact

Wow, someone mentions fan speeds on their Thinkpad and you go into an unprompted dog whistle rant mode. A certain OEM lives rent free in a blighted mind.

Some people are on the bottom 5th percentile of the intelligence bell curve. Some people also enjoy having their balls being smashed in by high heels. Some people... blah blah blah. What a weasel statement. You are describing a straw man sc

You entirely missed the point in the article: Everybody has access to AI. Nobody needs another person proxying it slowly and poorly in a worse medium than direct access. Replying with AI responses is equal to saying that you're no long

I'm baffled how you think syntax doesn't matter. Syntax affects how hard something is to understand when you read it, how hard it is to physically input, how hard it is to make mistakes, how hard it is to parse, interpret or compi

Like most MS vs. Apple differences, it comes down to a matter of taste. They've added quite a few AI enhancements across their apps and operating system, but they are mostly feature enhancements and not major AI branded efforts. Ha

How many people from that era still exist at Apple to be holding a grudge like that? Genuinely curious, since it's been a very long time since he was last involved at Apple.

Living with laptops with touchpads for a couple of decades as a righty, I can use a touchpad perfectly fine with either hand, but a mouse is still right handed for me.

Divitis was a thing long before React came along. It was a common solution to styling problems even in the jQuery/Dojo days. Getting stuff to look similar across IE6 and FF before CSS3 relied heavily on divs.

Hubris. I don't mean this as a snarky jab. It's coming for anything software. I've used AI to accomplish front end development and reverse engineer proprietary USB hardware dongles in C, then rewriting the C into Rust to get

The Switch also followed a poor WiiU cycle that caused some pent up demand and launched with Zelda BotW which was an epic title. People bought Switches just to play that game and then stuck around to buy other titles on the platform. The Sw

I don't expect absolute perfection from Apple but I think they are putting in good faith effort towards these improvements and are just proud of their accomplishments. If it was strictly a feel-good PR effort then that would have the c
