I still don't understand why people are building things on top of OpenAI's APIs. It's obvious that in the early days, they'll operate at a loss, with many free features and cheap premium features. It's a good time t

This is amazing that it's possible and works, but I wonder if the electricity cost is sustainable in the long run. For handicapped people who depend on tools like this for accessibility, it's justified, but I wouldn't use it

Yes, this was my thoughts too, since this is pushed by politicians, they should roll out the end of encryption to their phones first, and if in 10 years we uncover no new sex scandals or other big scandals about them, it means that having n

When learning Git, you have to forget the English definition of every word you use, then there's some pain, then you are born anew, and you can do in 3 keywords what it would take 14 words, 8 brackets, and some combination of dollar si

Or decrease, because who would go to the casino if everyone knew the outcome? Only the owners and staff. "Useless" companies are part of the total market value. If they never get any funding, that's less value overall. Even i

It's so wierd how I expected the article to be about something linked to the io TLD, but it's completely unrelated to computers, in fact the article would be way more relevant if it dropped the title and conclusion, because I lear

I miss the old Youtube when it was so hard to get money from ads that inauthentic channels were actually rare. Most people just wanted to share stuff likes video games or memes, some dreamed of fame and money of course, but they had no idea

I've kept Windows only for gaming and specific software, today most software is multiplatform or has a web version, and Steam uses WINE/Proton which makes probably over 90% of my game library playable, and for the rest there has m

I'm in France, I work 100% (35 hrs/week, 5 days), and there are more and more part-time workers among my colleagues. I think it's a nice option and that it should be a thing almost everywhere, and I might consider it myself i

When I feel that I have to upgrade because the phone slows down or that newer apps aren't available on my OS version anymore, I move over to the opposing team so as to avoid incentivizing short-lived phones too much. So far, I only own

I work as a web developer, and rarely use exotic paradigms like Prolog's logic programming or OCaml's functional programming, so I do not know many alternatives, but I like the value of showing all of these to students, so I'

As a student, I learned Prolog and Caml in a master's in CS in France, in 2015, though the languages we were most likely to use like Java and C had much more hours of class. I think the teachers, who are also researchers, rarely update
