The worst part is that Liquid Glass isn't even good on iOS.

This is the modern day "I can tell that's photoshopped because I've seen some 'shops in my day." The sooner we stop glorifying the people who think they're magical LLM detectors, the better, frankly.

Or you're writing for the people who haven't deluded themselves into thinking that they're magical LLM detectors, which definitely does seem like a win.

As others have said, this is very wrong. I live in Vermont an Duse "all season" tires as my summer tires on both my Subaru and my 4wd truck. I absolutely change to winter tires on both vehicles (studded, on the truck), and the dif

It's definitely that publishers don't want it. This is actually the trajectory of both Apple News and iAd before it, which is what started out providing the ad service for Apple News. Apple would like to do a high quality solution

If you had a device that indiscriminately shut down cars around you, because people used to do fine with their horse and buggy, would that be okay? He's imposing upon a common in a way that is taking that from everyone else - and, as n

There are places that care. My organization has a management-backed, engineer-led mentorship program. I'm among the most senior engineers in the org, and a significant portion of my time is spent on mentoring, with general acknowledgem

They used to, but I wouldn't want to go back to that. Believe me, compilers that continue and try their best are a massive improvement in many cases, allowing you to fix more issues between compilation attempts.

Confirm/Cancel (like Yes/No) for dialog buttons has been known to be confusing and detrimental for decades now. The button names should always describe action to be taken, not a response to the text above. My point is that the

That's a challenging claim to justify when their output is the Cybertruck. Honestly, none of Tesla's lineup is currently impressive - it's mostly gimmicky with less than stellar build quality. I strongly considered a Model S

I wonder if a combination would be useful. Use an actual GA to do the mutation, and then let an LLM "fix" each mutated child.

Depends on the niche, really. I despise ads, but I can also admit to having learned about products from them that I have subsequently purchased and been pleased with. Sometimes the ad lets me know about an entire type of product that I di

Using a tool to help you study isn't cheating. Using a tool to take the test for you, without regard to your own skills or knowledge of the subject under test, is.

I would not agree. There are plenty of times I've written and used functions that have informational return values that are beneficial in certain cases and unnecessary in most. This is why most languages have chosen annotations to allo

My advice to engineer is always: Your job is to make sure that the decision makers, when they're not you, have the information needed to make competent decisions. You should keep arguing when (a) there is credible reason to believe tha

Interestingly, I live in rural Vermont, and there are a surprising number of Rivians around me - including those set up for contractors, complete with scaffolding in the bed with tools and ladders on them. That said, we have an F250. I'

If you wanted to reference the saying about people living in glass houses throwing stones, you should have referenced that one rather than a different quote about stones. They're not equivalent.

I'm sorry, but "calling out apparent injustice" is not comparable to "literally throwing the first rock to stone someone to death". That quote gets bent very far out of context. You could use it to justify any inact

The restriction to a polytree might be useful -- but only with quite a few more caveats. In the general case, this is absurd; having dependencies that are common to modules that are themselves dependencies of some single thing is not inher

Mort might mean short-term efficiency, but those solutions are where technical debt and unmaintainable organically-grown complexity come from. That has its time and place, but it must be balanced to not doom anything but short-lived projec
