Not a bad idea, though 'too recent' I think would be the only benchmark - for now, until they get faster at training. OpenAI has thrown away most of their safety team so that shouldn't be a reason anymore to delay model relea

This should be a crime and they should be forced to either keep supporting Win10 (at least security updates) and/or let you install Win11 on older hardware without TPM 2.0 modules (which is a total fucking lie that it's necessary,

2 settings menus? We have every version of Windows from 3.1 all the way to 11 styled settings menus, sometimes multiple styles depending on which settings you want to look at. It's a total shitshow.

2nd hand CD players are abundant and cheap. New CD players are also rather abundant and cheap (and also have burning capability + DVD read/write) and are available e.g. on Amazon - some are USB, some are standalone units (like we all b

Assuming RAM and GPU prices come down again so that we can afford to buy our own hardware instead of running everything in the cloud, which forbids "nefarious" software. /s? Edit: Steve from Gamer's Nexus basically agree

I can't find the article now but supposedly it's because "new" (within the last 10ish years) productions are created for multiple devices and audio engineers target the lowest-common denominator, which are smartphones. I

I agree, hence "need a lot of love". On the other hand, the lack of "love" from Unity's side (at least regarding Inspector) allows a thriving ecosystem for devs to build their own version of what an ideal Inspector

Thankfully there are tons of assets you can buy or download from github that will extend the functionality of the inspector windows, which IMO need a LOT of love. The last update I saw was where you can do math inside e.g. transform propert

The biggest problem IMO is that they never finish new features. They start the work on implementing new tech/assets/plugins, then abandon them halfway through just as they are becoming useful for prod. There are tons of would-be-a

Single-clicking is sufficient :) Also there are a lot of special clickable actions (mentioned in the FAQ > About section, or just keep clicking until you find something, there are 20+ special actions).

Why not both? Also I would assume it's a lot more dangerous and expensive to send someone in when you can just put an innocuous robot into a room which has cameras and microphones that can watch + listen 24/7 and auto-recharges wh

Also every model update changes how you have to prompt them to get the answers you want. Setting up pre-prompts can help, but with each new version, you have to figure out through trial and error how to get it to respond to your type of que

"Hunt the verb" can be alleviated to some degree for programs that require parameters by just showing the manpage when invalid or missing parameters are specified. It's highly frustrating when programs require you to go throu

It would be nice if they (or someone) could list ways to mitigate against each of these information leakages. Or even nicer if someone made a plugin that make us unidentifiable. Even nicer would be a way to e.g. disable sharing which fonts,

I totally agree, however, (to wax slightly philosophical) things will change, that's just the nature of tech (and the world at large). To play Devil's Advocate: at least MacOS provides these settings, unlike Windows, which does pr

As alluded to by morkalork, they definitely could if they wanted to, as the (most? of the) rest of the world doesn't seem to have this problem. As long as spammers keep paying telecoms & no law(s) forbidding this exist, it will con

Agreed, but only assuming the summary is accurate and not hallucinating, which the current state of LLMs sadly can not guarantee. Maybe next year?

Sorry I didn't meant to discount your argument. I don't think SERPs are a valid comparison, AI is for me an apples vs. oranges comparison, or rather rocks vs. turtles :) btw your linked article/study doesn't support your

I guess you didn't take up my offer to search for how AI is killing traffic. There are numerous studies that repeatedly prove this to be true, this relatively recent article links to a big pile of them[0]. Why would anyone visit a webs

Hard agree. I was recently at a talk from Jaron Lanier[0], who proposed that AI should, after every query, present on the right-side of the page a list of all clickable sources where AI gathered it's data from, so that we could verify
