I've never worked there, but it never really seemed like anything more than R&D/experiments for Apple. They seem to try stuff internally that other big players seem to jump into wildly. They had a self-driving project when Goo

Scam generally implies some form of deception, and I think selling a product that claims to have proprietary AI and not just wrap ChatGPT when it does not have proprietary AI and in fact wraps ChatGPT certainly qualifies as deceptive.

Yeah, as a distiller of collective knowledge as captured over the first 30 years of commercial internet, it does exactly what it should. That's not always "right" but it still provides huge value even if all it does is practi

I'm not sure why you want a uniqueness index then in this case. If it's not publicly visible (effectively a secondary index / reference), then you can't use it as an identifier. This means you need something else (a slug

Huberman isn't a medical doctor and most of the things he talks about are non drug supplements. He's probably getting a lot of cash and affiliate money.

When Youtube was in the midst of screwing with adblockers any way possible I used the platform basically not at all. I also applaud more apps going around ad avoidances as their primary mode of monetization.

Bad code is obviously very subjective, but I would wager that GH places a much higher value on feedback mechanisms like stars, issues, PRs, velocity, etc. Their ubiquity likely allows them to automatically cherry-pick less "bad code.&q

Maybe. They're very smart animals, though, I don't think it would take much positive reinforcement to become engrained behavior.

Agree with sibling comments I'm almost always hearing a voice describing what I'm looking at, trying to pull the whole thing together.

Most code is interpreted as declarative regardless of how it's written. I've always interpreted a chunk of functionality as a block of logic. Which is why syntax structures like if/else feel do natural. But we don't real

You can just query for all the image elements and then read any svg using the document model. This is trivial to overcome for most basic scrapers and not much harder even if you try to obfuscate with paths for more sophisticated ones.

My biggest worry is the idea of generating data as training data. We're obviously already unwittingly doing this, but once someone decides to augment low-volume segments of the dataset with generative input, we're going to start g

I find that heating cold brew reintroduces some of the flavor of hot brewed coffee, though I've never been able to pinpoint a mechanism for it.
