I still have a Surface Book 1 that I occasionaly use and I never encountered any of those issues. I even used it for some sketching and there was no lag or spurious touching from the pen. In fact, sketching was why I was "drawn" t

I think that is a neat idea and it sucks this happened, but how long before somebody simply saw that feature and replicated it? I'm curious, had you considered a deeper moat than that? This is especially relevant given AI is making thi

If anyone is taking feature requests, could you add an option to return the snapshot as an MHTML with all static assets embedded? (I know this could get inefficient from a storage perspective, but if it really matters you could dedupe asset

I had a great literature teacher who took pains to point out all the wordplay in Shakespeare's plays in the context of the culture his time. I recall a surprising amount of them being pretty naughty double-entendres! Some of our slang

Something I have not seen discussed is the highly dynamic semantics of the annoying Gen Alpha variant of BrainRot. It has this fascinating aspect of slang with meanings that can shift in combination with other terms: Skibidi, Sigma, 6-7, Oh

A large part of our industry is experiencing significant cognitive dissonance and articles like this are a symptom of that. AI is not really changing things, it's simply forcing us to question a lot of things we took for granted. One o

Generally my concern is copyright was an imperfect but reasonable way of protecting the value provided by code, but that is being undermined. > I can't agree with this observation, unfortunately. Interesting, I don't mean to

But that's the thing... I don't YOLO it, I review all the code it generates, yet I personally am doing something -- using computer vision, a field I had negligible prior background in -- that would have taken a team of 2 - 3, AND

That's what I meant, but as the root comment implied, regulation is needed, so the solution is not laissez-faire. These companies are not going to regulate themselves. Capitalism is going to drive them to relentlessly compete for growt

Where do I submit a bug report? AMZN is down 2% today but that number still go up. To be clear, wealth inequality is absolutely one of the most critical social problems today, just that simplistic numbers like this stifle useful discourse.

My bad, I messed up by being lazy while switching from decreases in time taken (that they report) to increased in throughput. (Yes, it's not just flipping the sign, but as I said, I was being lazy!) The broad point still holds, their i

Could you point me to a comment where anyone said regulation should only apply to their competition? Any talk has been for the entire AI industry. If you claim regulation favors the incumbents, well take it up with parent commenter whose co

It depends on the "shape" of the company. Larger companies have a lot more of what I call "Conway Overhead", basically a mix of legit coordination overhead and bureaucracy. Startups by necessity have a lot less of that,
