ChatGPT has a whole host of weird words that it uses about coding - anything changed is a “pass” done over the code, it loves talking about “chrome” in the UI, it’s always saying “I’m going to do X, not [something stupid that nobody would e

They’d probably get some good results if they spent $100 billion on coming up with more fuel-efficient ways of flying and still have enough left over for 200 years of flights

$39 of credits at API costs is useless too, what are you going to do there, a single hour of coding? One half of a feature per month?

I suppose could implement it by requiring a deletion token that is returned when making a deletion request which doesn't have its own deletion token, but why would you? That's something for the frontend to handle.

Who can blame these poor, oppressed proletarian cultural critics, chafing under the yoke of the wealthy, with nothing to their name but their millions of dollars?

AI definitely does seem to want to add coloured left borders, tags and superfluous numbers all over the place from my experience, you have to tell it specifically not to

The western left-wing in general seems to have become quite a conservative (not Conservative as in right-wing) movement over the past few decades. A hundred years ago it was definitely extremely utopian - the communists were very much focus

SpaceX is just going to be the Musk Company minus Tesla. X Corp, the X parent, is a subsidiary of xAI which is a subsidiary of SpaceX. This seems back to front, but I suppose SpaceX has the better reputation for investors whereas if X owned

You shouldn't have believed photos since Stalin had Yezhov airbrushed out of them. The only thing that makes a photo more trustworthy than a painting is that it "looks" more real, and passes itself off as true. But there have

The quality of the text is really impressive and I can’t seem to see any artefacts at all. The fake desktop is particularly good: Nano Banana would definitely slip up with at least a few bits of the background.

They're not banning smoking in general (which would be impossible anyway, what are they going to do, make it illegal to set something on fire and breathe it in?), they're banning nicotine products. I also really doubt that they wi

Nobody was ever attacked on the street by a tobacco-addled stranger at 3 in the morning though. Besides, they're not banning indoor smoking, they're banning it entirely - including vaping and other nicotine products.

Drinking has been decided to be totally fine though, no need to ban that - probably because it's unfashionable to smoke, and the kind of people who come up with these laws find it uncouth. It will also be ridiculous in a few years when

Major numbers are just for marketing, if it's not good enough that it feels like a similar jump as from 3.7 to 4 they're not going to give it a new number.

I haven't seen any improvement on Opus 4.6 from it (on xhigh) and it seems to often suggest and do things that just make no sense at all. For instance today I asked it to sketch out a UI mockup for for a new frontend feature and it ask

They used to use regular XML but they've switched to using curly braces instead of angle brackets. Why would this be?

How many projects get to the point where they're at 50 or 100 people online at the same time but fail due to technical issues before they reach 50k? I would say very few. 99% of the time the problem is that they never reach that simult

"What if the AI goes away" seems to be a common argument but it's just not ever going to happen without, say, a solar flare wiping out all electronics, which will be an issue which skilled programmers can't help anyway.

But why were they running unpaid ads for third party services? It makes no sense

But why run free advertising in the first place?

It's not that subsidised, this is just wishful thinking. You can run a local model like Qwen for equivalent prices. You might see it go up to $0.50/hr but you're definitely not going to see it at $22

I disagree, I think things are getting better. Apart from house prices I think almost everything here (Australia) is better than it used to be. The trains run on a better schedule. You get more varied, better food, more people can eat out,

That's just how wars are named, it's not some grand conspiracy. It was the War in Iraq, the War in Afghanistan, the Vietnam War, the Crimean War. They don't call it the War on Ukraine either.

Two hours of housework? How big is the average person's house? I definitely don't spend more than half an hour (even including cooking).

I used to think UIs would be better for agents, but I changed my mind: UIs suit traditional software very well because there are only X actions that can be performed - it makes sense that if you have an image converter that can take X, Y an

“What Gotham Greens can grow in about one acre of our greenhouse we believe would require about 30 acres out in the field” but what's the price of an acre in Brooklyn vs 30 acres in rural Indiana? How do you go up against free sunlight

Freespace 2 was widely regarded as the best space sim ever made and killed the genre when it didn’t do as well as expected. It ended on a cliffhanger. About 10 years ago the rights to the IP were sold for only $10,000.
