ChatGPT already has over 20 million paying subscribers, even in its early state. But asking if average people will pay for AI is the wrong question. It's like asking if average people will pay for Salesforce or Oracle. Even if consumer

This is a perfectly reasonable distribution once you consider that only a small fraction of people who really care about something are motivated enough to comment about it. There's a small group who complain loudly about Pocket, a smal

It's great... except that it turns out to be a performance pitfall if the state needs to be frequently updated. The React Three Fiber docs mention this here: https://r3f.docs.pmnd.rs/advanced/pitfalls#avoid-setstat

Even under ideal circumstances, the priority of a government is to serve the needs of its citizens. Sometimes, these happen to align with global needs, and sometimes not. In order to improve global health or address other issues that impact

I'm having trouble understanding what the problem is -- as in, what are the actual symptoms that users are seeing? How much latency can the app tolerate and how much are you seeing in practice? It would be helpful (to me at least) in t

Or... perhaps they typed it in one of the many editors (Word, Google Docs, Notion, etc) which also substitute "—" for "--" and use smart quotes?

Presumably they're dancing because it's in the prompt. You could change the prompt to have them do something else (but that would be less fun!)

A lot of the negativity toward Google stems from the fact that they're the big, dominant player in search, ads, browsers, etc., rather than anything that they've done or any particular attribute of the company. In AI, they're
