The difference is that the stuff you buy “on the spot” is tested by locals in that environment. In my experience, I got my favourite rain gear from a local store in a place where it rains a lot, and the best mountain gear in a town that’s a

Lock screen, start menu, taskbar. It varies between region and between the home/pro versions, so you may have gotten lucky.

A lot of apps are nagware, but I’ve never seen any as blatant and forceful as Duolingo. They diligently A/B test their notifications, constantly looking for the variations that’ll show a higher click rate. They’ll hit you with “[Your f

Transferring patterns only really works when the language you’re learning is similar to ones you already know. I’m learning Chinese, and to my Western mind it feels like an alien language.

Water level in a glass changing between shots is one thing, the protagonist’s face and clothes changing is another.

Sure, then you just pump it through another model that removes watermarks.

Sure there is. It’s called “higher numbers = more investor money”. Any improvement in actual utility is purely coincidental.

That’s exactly what the folks at Amazon thought when they came up with Alexa. Have you ever bought anything online by asking Alexa to do it? Have you ever seen anyone else do it?

What’s the value proposition here, exactly? You could replicate this functionality 1:1 by using a very simple spreadsheet with a couple charts - it wouldn’t take more than half an hour to make, you’d retain full control over your data and y

You could build a solid alternative in Google Sheets in a couple minutes. It’s basically a simple visualisation of a database table with 4 columns.

They’re definitely underrepresented in most contexts where you’d meet other coders - but make no mistake, half the business world runs on Java, and it’s still the main language taught in a lot of CS university programs.

It should be, but the government loves AI - incidentally it’s also the one thing currently propping up the economy.

It also implies that it can only really be done by oneself, not someone (or something) else on one’s behalf.

I do value self expression, that’s why I play multiple instruments, paint, draw, sculpt. I don’t really see how prompting a machine to make music for you is self expression, even if it’s to your exact specifications.

Very true, but there’s still a huge difference between acts of sabotage and missiles hitting cities. We might be at war, but so far it’s a comfortable one.

My laptop isn’t 7” wide because I do my work on it, and that work involves reading long text files and requires a keyboard big enough to comfortably type said long text files, not because “bigger screen = always better”. It’s all about the

It’s important to separate graphics and UX here - I don’t mind if the soldiers and the aliens are blobs of pixels, or even just coloured squares, but the UI of the original UFO/XCOM games is pretty much incomprehensible to a modern pla

Regardless of disclaimer, I’m sure the food cooked on TV going to waste is not the norm - dozens of people are on set when filming any of these shows, and they’re all curious to try the dish.

Okay, sure, but if I realize I should’ve done something differently in commit 1, why wouldn’t I just make a new commit with the fix?

Also players don’t know what they want. Good games aren’t just a result of a good idea that’s then implemented - they come from untold hours of iteration, tinkering, figuring out what’s fun, what isn’t, and why. That’s the hard part, and I

There are large datasets of bird sounds (eBird, Cornell Labs, etc), but the descriptions are usually limited to the species, location, and something like “mating call” or “contact call”. Hugely useful for building models that can recognise

My guess is it’s because CSS is so dependent on context. Especially layout styles only make sense for a specific structure of HTML elements, which might be stored in an entirely different file and directory.

In my experience LLMs are surprisingly bad at CSS beyond a very basic level. They work fine if you need to change the color of a button, but when it comes to actual styling work, even intermediate stuff like position:absolute or CSS grid, C

“Somewhere in the mix”? Sure. I’ve seen TTRPG folks experimenting with LLMs for about as long as LLMs have been around. A couple years later it still can’t really run a session, but you might find it useful for generating some details of
