My opinion is that most of the real uses of AI (like ML has always been) will be largely hidden things that are LLM based but not screaming at your face "AI". Particularly once the bubble pops and money stops being shoved into thi

Maybe it is too soon, but I would love it if they included a section of "security research discussion" or something. A place linking to those who talk about the system (good and bad) that understand this far better than I do. I ha

I keep wondering about this an no one is giving a clean answer on this. I have no doubt that Uber and Lyft are in some ways doing this to game the system and I really don't want to defend how they treat their drivers. But at the same t

I think the better option is... why not both? Update the first example to something like: For additional order details, go to your account by clicking here. and `go to your account by clicking here` is the link.

The argument around this that drives me the most insane, someone tried to argue with me that "how is this different than how we think" or "how do we know its different than us" or some variation of that. As if because we

Not defending the use of the FAQ to clarify the clearly misleading marketing. But part of this article implies that the FAQ was not there at the time of signing up. First I am curious if this is actually true? If it is, does tmobile have an

I really hate all of the talk about how this has been received. It was clear to anyone that was not trying to push clickbait headlines that this was never meant to be a mainstream device. Apple may charge a premium for their devices but the

We still really should not be confident. We have seen this time and time again that the output cannot be relied on. People keep trying to downplay the problem as "not a big deal" or that it happens rarely, but that is kinda the pr

I despise sites that disallow pasting into fields. Banks seem to really like to now allow you to paste direct deposit information, which is insane. I get that they likely are thinking, well we don't want you type it into the first fiel

I think you are missing my point here. Is there a requirement that a signup flow is a single process that you do all at once? What if they just moved the last contract you had to sign to something that you clicked on the technicians phone a

I bought an xreal pro hoping for a cheaper vision pro while technology catches up. Honestly xreal's marketing is generous at best. They seem to really try to push it as being an AR device when its really nothing more than a monitor stu

I think for most 'general' computing, yeah Arm is fine. It has been that way for a while with smart phones and tablets being the primary device many people use now. Either you can run it through a compatibility layer like Rosetta

That is the point of the article but I am failing to see that point fully made. I am not seeing that it has nothing to do with customer demand but instead the quote you said to meis saying it leads to problems with responding to an increase

There are only 2 parts of this I agree with. First the naming convention for all of the iPhone models needs a cleanup. "iPhone 16 Pro Max" is weird. But not fully sure of an alternative. and "iOS". It no longer makes sen

Correct me if I am wrong, but both Uber and Lyft have almost no barrier to entry beyond a background check and maybe some hardware right (and obviously having a car)? Like no interview, no hoping to get it, you just get it? That was always

There is something strange about asking "what ads" and then saying you are using ublock origin. Thats your answer to "what ads" right there... I don't run ublock origin on my work computer (which maybe I should) whi

Even as a developer, I have started to think that almost any time a developer complains about something they can't do or a safety net on my device. It is likely a good thing that it exists. We saw this with app tracking (just yesterday

Thank you I will check that out, I am a bit annoyed I have a shelf of cookbooks but most are kinda crap. But happy to spend money on a good book that quickly pays for itself after a meal or 2.

Unless I am looking for something very specific from a specific country, I found I have to avoid online recipes now. I rarely have good results and it feels like they were done once and then "we make this recipe all the time" or s

TBH I think the problem with Clippy was more a problem with its implementation than the core idea. It just wasn't helpful and we lacked the tech at the time to really make it helpful. My impression was that it was basically a glorified

Acknowledge the problem? Build in functionality so it only recognizes your voice and everything else is removed? Don't hide behind "privacy" promises or "your data is secure" when that doesn't fix the issue. Ju
