Card payments are done through a middleman (Visa, MasterCard) and therefore require a surcharge that's going to a private company. They charge much more than it actually costs them, even including chargebacks etc, which is how they&#x2

Tangentially related but what's the name of the style that this website uses? I see it a lot recently. It's kind of retro-Y2K, it's got icons with big thick lines, lots of movement (spinning elements, tickers), a wide title f

I think the thing that makes AI images (from Midjourney especially) look a bit off is that they're too shiny and professional. All the people have suspiciously flawless skin, like they've been edited in Photoshop, there's no

The latency's about 30-50ms, I really don't think that anyone is complaining that's too much for whatever they're doing

"Similar to" in what way? If you mean that it's an episode of a new show with new characters that uses similar plot points to another show then you're all good. But if it's straight up using the same characters, fic

If Bethesda were to use UE you can’t forget that they wouldn’t be using the Unreal Engine 5 of 2023, they’d be using (at least to begin with) the Unreal Engine 4 of 2015 when they started developing it. Since a game like that is so big they

Could you just have a single field for name and allow anything in that field? The only downside is you can't do something like "Hi ${FIRST_NAME}" in your emails, but the upside is that it basically handles any name or name or

This seems like a bad change - if you want to make article cards smaller why not simply move the image to the left of the headline/extract, or get rid of the image entirely? After all the image is often entirely useless (say for instan

Sure, we shouldn't discount the opinions of a 15-year-old, they've probably got a novel perspective on things and there are issues that affect them that they can articulate an opinion on. But five? They've only just learned t

I very much doubt it. I think it’s a lot more likely that it’s just hallucinating due to its tendency to avoid repetition and simply choose something else. After all, why would it be programmed to return someone else’s response when given c

"small, starting at $0.001 per word generated by AI" - this isn't small. GPT3.5 is $0.0015 for 1000 tokens. You're basically making gen AI 750x more expensive. If you write a 1000 word explanation of something that&#x2

Also: software (at least the kind of software that results from hype-driven development) is much less dangerous, and there's a lot less that can go wrong if it fails. If you're working on a new kind of process for making some food

How do you install Node packages? Do you use Deno, or go to each one's Github and copy it manually? Or just implement the entire feature yourself?

I notice that a lot of ancap arguments are based around how immoral it is that the government does X or Y without the consent of the individual, rather than whether it's efficient or leads to better outcomes. In a society with no cop

What does no-code actually mean in this context? Isn’t it GUI stuff that GPT can’t use?

I think this will make people less likely to tip. I hate the imposition of it in Australia, so fingers crossed this will only result in becoming something that people are embarrassed of due to lacking willpower. After all, you've alrea

Is it though? The homes themselves do depreciate (nobody wants a 1970s house with no aircon that hasn't been repaired or renovated), it's just that the price of the land which the house is situated on increases faster, because it&

That seems incredibly advanced - how does the military already have AI that can reason that a comms tower should be destroyed to prevent it from receiving instructions like that?

I doubt that people would be paying for Disney+ or Netflix if there was an free alternative that had slightly worse UX, that was officially sanctioned and available at the top of the app store if you searched for them. The appeal of those t

I think the bug here is Bard describing using a pen to draw image etc, which implies that it was generated by Bard rather than crawled from the web.

That would have to be a bug - GPT3 was terrible in comparison even to 3.5. It would definitely be very noticeable if it was.

There are a lot of paywalls that are done server-side - for instance the Herald Sun, which is one of the biggest newspapers in Australia, does it like this. Even if you check the responses there's nothing in them but links to subscribe

This should be coupled with a massive increase in salaries for politicians - a lot of people think they should be paid less because they do a poor job. I think it's the other way around - they do a poor job because they aren't pai

It's ridiculous because names are mostly for the benefit of other people, and unfortunately society isn't so tolerant that everyone will accept it. If you call your daughter Titan Invictus you're going to have her go through
