This is obviously a death march project. Just delay it indefinitely until the Google Gemini based Siri chatbot is ready. Why ship something half-assed?

It's turned from SimCity into SimSimCity. It's like playing a simulation where you manage a person who's playing SimCity.

Once you have a kid, it's obvious why even besides the costs involved. There's not much sense of community, particularly in the white middle class. People are very individualistic and distrusting of others. There's a good rea

It's tough convincing people that Google AI overviews are often very wrong. People think that if it's displayed so prominently on Google, it must be factually accurate right? "AI responses may include mistakes. Learn more&quo

I loved Dilbert in the 90s, and had no idea that Scott Adams got himself embroiled in controversy towards the end. Another funny guy that let his right leaning views become his entire personality.

I really wish Lyft invested in maintenance. I used Citibike this week for the first time in about a year, and the Hudson River Greenway dock by NY Waterway had 1/3 of its empty docks broken with flashing red lights, then about 5 ebikes

As a a developer, you're not only responsible for contributing code. But verifying that it works . I've seen this practice be put in place on other teams, not just with LLM's, but with devs who contribute bugfixes without un

The way Git took over wasn't Git vs Mercurial (although that was a small part of it), but much more Git vs SVN, CVS, and people that never used source control before. It's similar to how Chrome became the dominant browser over Fir

Gamers are overwhelmingly negative of using Gen AI to replace what artists and designers would normally do. It feels artificial. What they could try doing instead is to use Gen AI for dynamic content generation during gameplay, like how Min

Takes for fucking ever. I worked with my girlfriend -> fiancee -> wife through her transition between student visa, H1B, green card, citizenship. The whole process took about 7 years.

We shouldn't be having critical internet-wide outages on a monthly basis. Something is systematically wrong with the way we're architecting our systems.

Alexa is super buggy now anyway. I switched my Echo Dot to Alexa+, and it fails turning on and off my Samsung TV all the time now. You usually have to do it twice.

This is just a marketing post for a different VPN company trying to sell you a "truly private" VPN. Take everything you're reading with a grain of salt.
