The issue is AI doesn't state it doesn't know. It tries to come up with a credible sounding answer no matter the topic like that insufferable guy at a party. You need to know when you don't know something to be trustworthy, c

Tech only spreads when the average user can get use with their average interactions. Having to tailor prompts to be so specific is a flaw. Even then it is at times absolutely useless. AI to be genuinely useful needs to accept when it doesn&

Shhhhhh! Are you saying that not every app or platform needs to have AI shoehorned in for the purposes of appealing to non-technical funders who are lured by any buzzword?

Fairphone and a Framework is just fine. What exactly do you do that suggests there is no alternative? I can see absolutely nothing Apple does that no other laptop can.

I will keep an ear out and let you know. I primarily hear of engineering positions on software where stability is key due to the industry I focus on (Science, Engineering, Research). They are the industries where you have to plan long-term

It greatly depends on what I am doing. If I am using common libraries especially when using JS it is particularly handy, similar with Python. When you branch out into the more obscure it's accuracy and knowledge ends up being unsurpris

There are plenty of alternative software needs that do not need to be AI based nor do they need to change tactics due to the current obsession with AI.

If you are using the most commonly available AI and have an average ability of perfecting a search term, right now AI is not a particularly useful tool in learning anything. It is far too inaccurate to learn anything challenging. The key te

As much as I love the idea of these secure messaging apps, until I see how a company responds to government intimidation I am always wary of being too invested and trustworthy of the marketing.

I can understand the comp being a motivator, but stress. L24 and N24 has always seemed ludicrous. That's insane micromanaging. Is it really unacceptable for something to take more than a work day? Not every task can be broken down that

I think the key thing here is, it's highly unlikely you need meetings every single day with staff overseas and if you do there is usually a crossover hour. You don't need to both be in constant contact to do good work. You can eas

I mean this much is clear within the physics community that we haven't found a complete understanding of quantum physics. We can explain what we can test and view but that is it. Wrong is such a strong term but I am sure some aspects w

They allow companies a legal right to attack those who host for archival purposes. This makes it hard for people such as the internet archive to carry on. Archiving and collecting digital works of art and therefore the code behind it, shoul

I think all art and media should be preserved. It's been clear for decades current copyright laws aren't fit for purpose. Fair use within books is for collection so it should be for digital.

I would disagree. They maybe don't teach in the way that would be ideal for each individual student (because that isn't possible when classes are in the 10's of students), and some of course are fundamentally terrible as is t

Everyone can provide value to the world if we accept them for who they are, and what they love and can offer. The issue lies when we, as a society, decides what is valuable and what isn't.

Wikipedia is useful up to a point for sure. I feel whether it could be a expansion of Wikipedia in it's current use case, but for emerging research and niche topics it can sometimes be less useful.

I haven't personally used the mentioned services as they aren't in my field, however what is the accuracy of their results? Are they double checked? I don't find LLMs particularly accurate in my field (that's being kind)
