Exactly this. We went quite a while thinking Eliza was as good as it gets. I'm pretty sure the current LLMs have beaten them by a little bit.

Good writing style, but no, we quite know how muscles get built. And we know why some people find it very difficult to do.

Why doesn't the writer just move on and go back to Vim? I've seen a few things about neovim over the years, but nothing that made me want to switch. I love the look of the prompt for example, but it's just extra fuss that doe

Also tabbed web browsing. I tend to line up the YouTube vids I want to watch while coffee brews, then watch with coffee in hand. Sometimes they get left there for the entire day, minimized while I do something more productive. At least with

A lot of people don't seem to realize polyamory versus open relationship. Polyamory is about holding multiple relationships. Open relationship is more about the physical act, without additional relationships. Multiple loves, versus get

I suspect the drone companies that do larger exhibits must practice somewhere, and at night, to know that their routines are working correctly, and maneuvers are tight.

Uh, you've never been around wealthy kids and young people. My partner works at one of the most exclusive private schools in Canada. We're surrounded by wealthy people. Sometimes even royal reps and the occasional prince. I know e

I think a better idea would be to pick up a few issues of Robb Report, or peruse their website articles for a while. That's how you find out what wealthy people want and are willing to pay for. I've never seen an issue covering ph

I don't get this reply. They don't need a Ferrari or Patek Phillipe collection either. They don't need 10 bedrooms with separate in suite washrooms, and both an indoor and outdoor pool. I live close to Toronto's Bridle P

There was a time that a simple purple diamond image on an iPhone was enough. It is akin to the duct tape banana art that recently sold. What amuses the wealthy people you'd like to target?

Cool. When I was younger, I could never get these. But one night in bed with my tablet, I saw a magic eye image, and I guess because I was really tired, I was able to see the hidden image. Since then, it's been pretty easy for me to se

You may very well get more out of, and put more into the couter-offered position. It would suck to work 5 months knowing you're leaving a company that values you this much, and willing to pay extra to keep you on board and happy again.

"the project shouldn't have shipped." Tell that to the share holders. As a public company, they can very quickly lose enormous amounts of money by being behind or below on just about anything.

I wish they would keep it around as an LKM for legacy hard drives (backups that have been in storage, forensics, etc) instead of just removing it entirely. Yes I know you can use an old kernel. But that comes with its own issues that will i

Heavens Above app is pretty awesome. I use it a lot when I'm outside walking my dogs at night time. It also makes locating comets (past tense now, I know...) easier, along with stars and satellites, etc. from your vantage point. Shazam

I keep seeing various brands of mouth tape at our local Krazy Binz. There are a lot of different brands, so this must have been around for a while. Also chin straps. It occurred to me they probably help bed cohabitants more than the snore

Please consider bringing back some legacy software. When I was learning computers, we learned on QNX (poor kids younger than I started on Windows!) and there were some very interesting software packages that I think don't exist anymore

Some of the watermarking is really obvious. If you write song lyrics in ChatGPT, watch for phrases like "come what may" and "I stand tall." It's not just that they are (somewhat) unusual phrases, it's that Chat

Back in the 90's, (pseudo)science was trying to calculate the odds that a computer virus would self-assemble in memory. That's all fine and dandy, but the reality is that even if it could happen, it still would not be executed. So
