Their ideas have rarely been about form-factors or product categories (every knew what a tablet was before the iPad).

Or, more charitably, they don't want to be controlled but rather want guidance and wisdom in a difficult and confusing world.

Glad to hear that upper management are keeping up with the times, at least.

I keep hearing that "the average person hates AI", but their revealed preference is different. Any time they need to make anything that takes effort a lot of people immediately turn to ChatGPT. People don't like to consume AI

Being able to make large alterations to ffmpeg even though I'm a 2/10 C programmer. The most impressive was speeding up the drawtext filter by at least 10x.

I am religious, but I think this approach is not the best. It requires that we specifically define what that one thing that separates us from the AI is. Not only is that very hard to do, there is always the chance that the AI can do it afte

The Apple TV app is terrible . I use Infuse instead.

He was, but his instincts didn't lead him astray. He still understood the heart of the show.

Log Lady is weird but not quirky. The back half of season two had Nadine mentally regressing to a high-schooler but with superhuman strength (played for laughs); Dick Tremayne, a pompous menswear salesman wooing Lucy (played for laughs); an

I'm not so sure about that assessment of Twin Peaks. Look at the back half of season 2, where the "weird and wonderful characters" become the focus of the show. It's barely watchable. When Lynch came back for the final e

I'm surprised how restrained the Frink comments were, considering what a mess Points seem to be.

This seems exactly like Sushi Go but with a different skin. Are there any different mechanics? Also note that when I hover over the cards in "The Cards" section I see both the front and back of the card stacked on top of each othe

Even if a manager can just conjure the software they want instantly using AI, they are still going to prefer having a nerd to manage it for them - to know how to prompt engineer or even just organise it all. It might not look much like soft

It's a linguistics thing, it's about word usage more than about colour. You ask someone to get a book off the shelf, and you say "get the blue book" and the person is confused because they see a green book. We are usuall

As a kid I literally sent Apple an email saying "hey, my mum's phone is tiny, surely you could stick a phone in an iPod?".

Built-in 5-point harnesses in the back seats would be safer than car seats and far easier, but there is a whole industry working against that idea.

Really? I fit 3 seats in a Hyundai i30. Not a big or fuel-hungry car.

by magarnicle 7mo ago
Only quite small cars would have this problem - we had to upgrade from a Honda Jazz/Fit for this reason, but only to a Hyundai i30.

They had that with the previous gen mini, but the new ones are too tall now.

LLMs shift you from a software engineer to a management role, with all of the overhead that entails.

Is it because "the news" has changed beyond what we are designed to handle. It used to be just local gossip, and every now and then you'd hear about the king having a son or something. Eventually things progressed to where yo

There are three pillars for the bleeding edge, aren't there? TSMC, ASML, and the Spruce Pine quartz mine.
