If Apple can build an ad system within the app store, I don't see why OpenAI can't do that for ChatGPT.

Why would OpenAI want to use and pay for any of Microsoft's products unless mandated by a contract? OpenAI has the talent to roll out and run their own ad product that is better and more efficient. Why pay Microsoft for a core part o

SCOTUS ruling: 213 page PDF. News article: 500 words that provide everything I need to know. Unless I am actually very interested in the ruling, this seems an easy choice. Because I just wouldn't open that PDF file at all.

Realtime API is a very small use case that most products don't touch.

It is not the reader's fault if the article is unreadable in the first place. Not to mention that asking help to explain a text is extremely common. I can read English, but I have never read a US supreme court ruling. There are much be

Yeah, many people don't see "this phone costs $1099" but "I need to pay $60 a month". Which is not how I spend my money -- I have always purchased unlocked phones when they are on sale -- but there are too few of us

Given my own experience working on compiler stuff with LLM, I'd say it's a very good decision. LLMs jump at the first opportunity to use regex for EVERYTHING instead of doing proper lexing/parsing, for example. You need to re

I would use the word "exception" rather than "example". I doubt the next generation of programmers will have any idea what it means to contribute code "by mailing list".

Should have made some popcorn before clicking the link. The drama in the open source community is no less fun than YouTubers or celebrities. Great way to begin Thanksgiving.

I don't remember ever seeing a website that has a loading screen with words "Initializing React" on it. It's almost comical. Like that information is of any value to site visitors.

The point is that many of Linux's system settings are almost as complex as that. You want some examples?

Just imagine configuring nginx or apache with UI.

by rs186 10mo ago
Based on my experience using DeX, no. Most never considered "desktop" as a use case, so their UI is terrible on a 27 inch screen, and keyboard navigation is either non-existent or very awkward. Oh, maybe the browser, so we are bac

Exactly. If the author says "parts of the article was written by AI", that's probably it, nobody will waste any more time on this because this is what the author has decided to do. But instead the author seems to hide the fac

Terrible analogy. btw analogy is not a good way to win arguments.

So tired of the argument. Not everything is measured in "economic output", not to mention that metric itself doesn't make any sense when comparing countries of vastly different size, population etc.

Your phone likely records videos in HEVC format (if purchased in the last few years). If you want to watch your own videos on a PC, you'll have to deal with the codec. That's something to begin with.

BASIC and Pascal are real general-purpose programming languages as well, but I don't know anyone who uses them for anything serious.
