Iterations are the missing link. With ChatGPT, you can iteratively improve text (e.g., "make it shorter," "mention xyz"). However, for pictures (and video), this functionality is not yet available. If you could prompt it

I took to long to write my comment so I didn't see yours - you are exactly describing the feeling I also have when using AI to create things.

For me, it’s quite the opposite—it brought back the joy of programming. There are thousands of weather apps in the App Store, but none display rain data exactly the way I’d like to see it. That’s why I’ve long considered writing my own home

Some good advice here, but sometimes writing a connector that pumps data from one REST interface to another one is way simpler than using software B (which has the connector, but is buggy and requires paid upgrades for every integration) in

They are both blurry. One is just a bit bolder. Nothing beats HiDPI displays for crisp font displaying imho.

I just don't see a compelling argument here. So either a) The company that is ordering workers back to office owns the property - then they get absolutely no financial gains from it, because they need to pay for the office space in any

Cookie banners are a great reason for expirations dates on new policies. If it works: Great, renew it! If it does not work, is not required anymore or was just plain stupid: Never talk about it again and it will run out. But who will active

Exactly what I mean - car freaks (if they are not "combustion engine freaks") with enough disposable income surely love this. But it's not a feasible way to transform the individual transport sector to a greener footprint.

I doubt this is economically feasible in high-wage countries (like Germany). Yes, EVs are expensive, but having a car completely transformed (plus certifcations and the cost of the transformation kit itself) will be even more expensive.

Maybe that was misleading. The statistics I’m talking about are from the article, and the sentence before was just my guess - but I really think this is common sense, isn’t it?

Yes, this is exactly as I see it - but as you can see in the downvotes many people very strongly think just one of these is true and very aggressively disagree with the other one.

It doesn’t even have to be genetic. Parents which are able to raise their children to be functioning adults probably were raised by functioning adults and were able to find a job that leads to higher household income. We‘re talking about st

If you are talking about interactive ChatGPT sessions, if you suspect that it hallucinated, just tell it to "confirm that via a web search".

The problem is that this is not an AI chatbot, at least not in the sense the term AI is thrown around right now. Chatbots like this have been wasting people's time for a few years now. A modern LLM should not have any problem to dete

Text selection and editing on iOS is broken in general. Trying to replace just a part of a URL in the Safari address bar with the clipboard contents is nearly impossible, even if you know that long pressing space moves the cursor.

When do you have a password in plain sight? On the other hand, a key logger that extracts the passphrase for my password manager and steals the database file of it would be a disaster. I’d rather have an attacker browse through years of scr
