Accidentally migrating the wrong domain name is incompetence. Doing so without any of the required documentation is negligent. This is bad on multiple levels

I don’t think you read the article. GoDaddy transferred the domain to someone in a local chapter of the same organization. When that person realized what happened, they called the original owner and got everything fixed. There’s no way this

The author of the post is known for some pretty fancy CSS wizardry. I’m guessing AI is not great on some very specific, advanced CSS use cases where there isn’t much prior work. But again this is an edge case compared to what the vast major

Everything is nuanced and generalizations help no one. There are absolutely frontend apps where AI straight up crushes. Sure these much be less novel apps but most of what people work on is a CRUD-esque interface.

How do they differentiate AI job loss from normal layoffs that companies are pretending are due to AI to get brownie points from shareholders?

Is this market research?

I agree with this. I don’t even this Sean says anything controversial in the article so I’m not sure what the negativity is about.

I remember reading somewhere else that there was a psychological benefit for kids as well. Not having the constant pressure to check the device. Just seems like a big win all around.

Having struggled with hard to diagnose health issues before, I can’t emphasize enough how much of a relief it is to put a name on the disease that is causing you so much harm. It is frankly shocking to think disease diagnosis would be a use

All the disclosure and legal issues aside, it’s sobering to think of how many of these types of trivial bugs exist on random websites that collect sensitive user information. It seems hopeless to try to safeguard one’s own information.

Sometimes I get an "uncanny valley" vibe when reading AI-generated text. It can be pretty unnerving.

I just pasted the first paragraph in an "AI detector" app and it indeed came back as 100% AI. But I heard those things are unreliable. How did you determine this was LLM-generated? The same way?

I agree this is a result of monopolization or more specifically "lock-in." I spent some time at Microsoft making products in their 365 suite and it was frankly known that enterprise contracts with us were a form of lock-in--the id

We are on the darkest of paths. It’s like the current US administration is using our collective greatest fears about data privacy as a playbook.

This is usually a smart crowd. I’m utterly mystified at the number of comments in this thread confidently stating that the US must go back to paper ballots when 99% of the country already uses them. It just takes a quick google search to kn

Drives me nuts how many people don’t understand we are already using paper ballots. Electronically tabulated using risk-limiting audits. Why are so many people convinced we don’t use paper ballots? Disinformation?
