The more surprising thing with YouTube is how much obvious copyright infringement is in ads. The whole platform seems oriented around copyright enforcement, but ads seem to get a pass.

Most people get quite tired when talking for long periods. You can train that over a long period, but putting on a headset would certainly be more convenient.

Unfortunately, people will truly try to fake the "paper trail". People posted sped up video of them creating art as proof they made it, so people also used AI to try to generate that.

It's not a forthcoming disruption. They've been using "AI" for various visual effects tasks for a long time already. If something is not being done using AI now, it's because the results are poor, not because of som

Not talking specifically to this case, but if you're loud and disruptive, you can prevent others from exercising their free speech. The meetings do need some rules.

My current code base has more tests than runtime code. This sounds far more thorough than that. If you limit the possible productivity improvement to a small portion of total effort, it's inherently also going to be a small improvement

Even ignoring financial issues, people are generally willing to talk to major groups or industries. You tend not to get re-elected if you ignore everyone.

Some companies have failed at hiring someone to write code, using low code solutions, and hiring contractors. They aren't going to succeed at using AI to create code either.

Cloudflare got it's early business from sites being taken down by DDOS attacks. The early users of Anubis were often sites taken down by scrapers. Not a fan of either solution, but the sites simply going offline does not promote an &qu

This mistakes the goal. It's not to block the scrapers, but to discourage excessive (and costly) scraping. The Anubis cookies are bound to particular IP address. The scrapers are often using a large set of IP addresses, so they'll

The marketing people will never care about making sense. All sorts of products labeled "hand made" or "hand crafted", where the good can't logically be made by hand. If it ships more product, the label is going on.
