I mean it’s gotten bad already, but I think people’s hope is that they fixed it that if I type in a file name I work with all the time it’ll be the first result. At least that’s what I’m hoping for.

I'm sure I'm missing something but does direct indexing really solve anything for you in this instance? If you're in any of the main ETFs or index funds you're getting really cheap access to what's basically the s

I wouldn’t be surprised if 95% of companies knew this was a money pit but felt obligated to burn a pile of money on it so as not to hurt the stock price.

I get that Kevin Smith's films are for a very specific audience that's now in their 40's, but this scene from the Jay and Silent Bob reboot really hammers your point home hard for me: https://www.youtube.com/w

I never have ideas in the shower. My best ideas always come to me when I'm almost asleep and I have no idea why that is, which is really frustrating because I know I'm never going to remember them. Sometimes I'll get up and

This. Even if LLM’s ultimately hit some hard ceiling as substantially-better-Googling-automatons they would already accelerate all thought-based work across the board, and that’s the level they’re already at now (arguably they’re beyond t

Nice that they’ve got it working so well with copilot, the only thing keeping me from buying a premium sub is that they don’t bundle GitHub copilot with office copilot. It seems like all their copilots are seperate subs, which seems like
