I've used both and responsiveness to touch at all times is very important to me which iphone does a better job at. I hate how they abuse this iMessage situation though.

This is a great reminder that Microsoft is still the same old company with a similar mindset even under their new management.

Wait, so if you live next to a busy road you must be ok with me posting lawn signs for my desired candidate on your front yard because everyone sees your front yard and not mine.

OpenAI stopped being a non-profit and hasn't published anything on Chatgpt yet

It all sounds good as a consumer but there are a few questions which are by no means clear to me: * How does getting recommendations from a chatbot (what TV to buy) play with websites that produce such content (TV reviews) * How does it pla

With that reasoning, do you also go and reimplement standard libraries just to create enough variance so that if one of them has a security flaw then your code might not inherit it? IMHO, some software (eg. OpenSSL, rendering engines, etc.)

For the GCC and Clang it's a case of a newer/better compiler architecture taking over an older one. At no point in time I see the advantage of keeping several implementations around just for the sake of "diversity".

Can someone explain what's the whole deal with this "diversity" of browser engines? Do people also like "diversity" in C++ compiler implementations with "diverse" quirks and bugs unique to each implementat

There are L9 managers whose sole contributions have been empire building and politics. I know one who in fact had negative contributions but played the politics very well

If you can save $100/yr then why not but I agree all these penny pinching efforts are usually nothing but noise. All those gains will easily be lost if you book your plane tickets two days late and have to pay $200 more.

I use YouTube music and so far so good. For me there hasn't been a song I liked that was on Sporify but not on YT. I watch a lot of yt and ad removal is worth my time. In fact their price used to be $9.99 and I found it surprising peop

I have developed strong opinions about tech companies over the years yet these discussions look more and more like sports fans arguing over whose team is better. People try to find reasons to justify why their team is the goat and why the r

If I were designing flutter I would do exactly the same: bypassing all the legacy baggage of HTML, DOM, etc. and going straight to the pixels. The deal breaker for me is jank however and I do see some in the flutter-forward-demos page when

This would've been wonderful. The stakes are low for a parking ticket. I don't expect it to work well but it would have been the baseline performance. edit: apparently they're in the fake it till you make it mode: https:&#x2

that's still good. The missing piece is taking into account the cost of these "processes" throughout their lifetime when deciding whether or not to add yet another procedure.

People managers in tech are overpaid for what they bring to the table. I've seen many whose whole job is: * 1:1 with members of the team * Judge others (during perf review) based one noisy signals * Play politics with other parts of th

Exactly. I keep reading all this hype and folks don't realize how much compute is spent on each ChatGPT query (I'm sure it'll be optimized over time). There's no free lunch

I have experience with large NLP models and here are my humble thoughts: In a large language model you can refine your original request via conversation. In a search engine you tend to rewrite your query to refine it. LLM conversation is mu

Politics at work. The most infuriating part is when non technical people whose whole day to day work is about expanding their territory win through politics

scaling a large language model to serve thousands of queries per second and be continuously updated is not trivial. I'm sure we'll get there at some point.

I'm one of those who tend not to embellish my written messages with all sorts of euphemisms and fluff. So maybe my coworkers find my written communication a bit dry. First, I don't have very good verbal skills and second, I find c

Exactly. So get behind the wheel and do something (eg. fork Chromium without MV3 or something like that). But if you're not willing to spend your own time and energy then what's the point of constantly complaining about conspiraci
