I was surprised to not see it on the Guardian's front page. It's prominent on the World News sub-page though.

A solid group were unsure. Just reading Hacker News will show you that there are significant numbers here very enthusiastic about AI and others (probably with overlap) very concerned about where it's going. Just read any Sam Altman thr

I absolutely would be. At least a grounding in understanding pitfalls, and using good prompts. My kids have been watching me make a browser game where the design decisions are all mine/ours, but the programming is augmented by GPT-4o.

Hardwood floors take a toll on knees, for one thing. My brother had a 15+ year professional career and can't sit for very long (plane, cinema, etc) without needing to extend his leg. And that's after missing almost no games in-sea

And Australian houses are, as I understand it, bigger again. There was a thread somewhere about where to put your washing machine: bathroom or kitchen. And every Australian was in there getting completely confused because the vast majority

What would you say differentiates a tiny house from a trailer set up in a trailer park? And from a tiny house estate to a trailer park?

Which distant problems? How many? It would be endless. Maybe at college level there is a bit of 'If you aren't vocal about issue x, you're an uncaring person'? I don't see it amongst peers at 40-50yo that you would

The app (at least when I used it decades ago) didn’t recommend accounts to follow or insert junk in your list. That’s the key reason I resent all social media I use today.

I hear you. I looked at fixing the machine myself and we considered just replacing it when we thought the warranty was too far gone, but it seriously irks me to throw out an entire machine. It feels incredibly wasteful. We must shop the sam

We had a Samsung washing machine that failed (leak killed control board, something that isn't uncommon with that model) and we were a few months out of warranty. They said the warranty period wasn't a problem and offered a hefty d

Presumably the software could have terms of use that put any onus of use on the individual, assuming their marketing didn't promote being able to do this with random celebrities' voices.

Especially considering that the advantage gained by having an AI sound like this one individual is absolutely minimal. It's not as though any significant portion of a target market is going to throw a tantrum, saying "No, no, I re

Something like this happened to me - I'd rented one of their cars with no return date because I hadn't fully planned out a multi-week trip in the eastern USA. The staff member said this was fine; they'd put in a return date o

Duck probably isn't eaten here all that much, but at my local supermarket there'd be breasts, Peking Duck flavoured breasts, confit legs, and another Peking Duck kit. In that not-overly-large shopping complex, there are two superm

That was my reaction (as an Australian) too. The AI is so verbose and chirpy by default. There was even a bit in one video where he started talking over the top of the AI because it was rabbiting on. But I find the text version similar. Del

I have looked a few times in Walmarts and not found duck breast, which is something I eat in Australia once every 2-4 weeks. And also noticed particular cuts of beef that I'd expect are missing. I have been to the US 10+ times, usually
