It's trained on the Google style I guess. Google code always feels excessively commented, to the point where I delete comments from Google samples so I can read the code.

I planned to do this one. Check with the law, like talk to a lawyer or someone in the consumer ministry. Prices were protected under law in our case. It wasn't legal to crowdsource it; stores had to share it willingly. I'm not sur

What is the alternative though? Do I boycott it? Buy my games from Epic Store, book taxis while I'm on the train, ignore messages from teachers, and do all my banking from ATMs? Apps are still more convenient and cheaper. Admittedly di

Unfortunately, buying basic things requires an app now. Paying off my credit card and house requires an app. Getting a "taxi" needs to be done by app. School updates for tomorrow's homework go through Telegram, telling the te

I do both lol. Flutter is fun to play with and vibes very well with AI. But as a day job, things like dependencies, animations, design systems, and super customized things like Xiaomi are the bane of my day.

Well I have an old laptop that can't upgrade to W11. The battery is dead and bloated. It overheats when playing Roblox. It doesn't even handle Marvel Rivals. The camera and speaker no longer work. Two keys have peeled off. This mi

OpenAI has always been somewhat controlling of their output. They used to require that anything that uses their API go through a verification process to prevent it from being used for fake reviews, astroturfing, etc. This was the main criti

There's projects like Cara which are vehemently the anti-AI Instagram. Steam also blocks AI projects unless you can prove the AI images were ethically trained. Itch.io is a bit softer and requires a declaration of AI use so some groups

How do we detect it? Most of it looks like entropy. You can justify that the phone is unrepairable because it was necessary to pack everything tightly to make it thin. Once there's a way to measure it, we can discuss what if.

Unlikely. We use AI extensively now - it shortens parts of the schedule, but you still need a "programmer" to connect the endpoints. SaaS didn't take jobs. Frameworks didn't take jobs. AI will take quite a few, but that&

Ads worked back in the era where people couldn't make payments online. These days it's just more effective to have them pay, or in some cases, pay to disable the ad.

Strong yes. AI is the ultimate generalist, but it's not a specialist unless the operator is a specialist. It'll output the average of what it's trained on. It may know the new stuff, but unless someone programs it to return

The data isn't there. Most would be out of date, and there's no incentive to train a LLM on this. OpenAI doesn't even do a lot of things well; their RAG, STT, TTS, voice, embeddings is below average, but it's convenient

It's going to be more about engineering . We don't need to know how transistors work to make a website. But moving forward, you do want to know patterns like repositories. You want to know terms like "decompose a conditional

Please don't put too much pressure on it. This is how it turns us into paperclips. Also studies have shown that under a lot of pressure, they actually perform worse.

You need a crowbar. Enter at an angle, then pry it off. Slack is my favorite example. It looked like chat. It had a hash, like IRC channels did. But it was actually email! It cut down back and forth in email. You can just give someone an em

The quoted paper is from 2018. Evolutionary programming is IMO similar to a search algorithm. The biosphere is not. It's not searching; it's removing unfit matches. Which is far less efficient. I'm a big fan of evolutionary p

My general advice is to be aware when you're in the grief cycle and get out of there as fast as possible so that you can think clearly. A lot of people in the comments are in denial and bargaining. You sound like you're at depress

The real news for me is GPT 4.5 being deprecated and the creativity is being brought to "future models" and not 4.1. 4.5 was okay in many ways but it was absolutely a genius in production for creative writing. 4o writes like a ski

One of the major advantages and disadvantages of LLMs is they act a bit more like humans. I feel like most "prompt advice" out there is very similar to how you would teach a person as well. Teachers and parents have some advantage
