That's an interesting distinction. You shouldn't be able to call it a "fee" if the cost that it purports to cover does not increase with the cost of a ticket.

What's amusing is that I don't think anyone trusts complex systems less than software developers.

What I mean by "deep" is that I can ask a simple question and it gives thorough and relevant answer. Then I pick a point to drill down on and it's happy to expound, ad nauseam. That's deep. I totally realize that it&#x27

Lol. I will grant you that the LLMs aren't coming up with profound revelations, but let's be honest, who among us is? If I want to talk about various theories around free will or events in the middle ages or the evolution of polit

I feel like I'm experiencing a separate reality from some of you commenters. I had a long, deep conversation with GPT4 yesterday about the concept of free will. I'll be frank, it was a conversation that would have been well out of

For the last 20 years, employment in the software engineering field has basically been a dream scenario for the job seekers. Great wages and every company was always trying to hire. However, that seems to have taken a pause. Higher interest

Lol. If that's where your head is, Google illicitly tracking your location is the least of your problems. I hope you wear a ski mask everywhere, removed your license plates, and rolled your own mobile network...

Neutrinos actually travel at slower than light speed (just barely) but since they make it through the star unimpeded, they get out well before the visible light from the explosion (talking about a regular supernova here).

Except after the scan is complete you are not resurrected. Your digital copy is, while the meat version of you gets turned into a couple pounds of fertilizer.

Right? I don't get it. Do people expect AIs trained on human knowledge to not perpetuate the flaws embedded in that knowledge? If everybody agreed that the Earth was 5,000 years old, would people be surprised to find out that the AIs e

Yeah, this seems like such an incredibly obvious oversight. Like... I know how it goes with fuzzy requirements, but who didn't nail down the acceptance criteria that the user should be able to trigger Find My Phone without 2FA.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this as simple as the camera makers just start digitally signing the photographs and all the news outlets (and anyone else that cares about photo integrity) include that signature in the metadata

I think LLMs would actually do better at this than a human because the whole problem with debunking this stuff is that the anti-facts come at a pace that no human can sustainably refute in real time. It's always "well, my cousin&#

Musk's environmental bonafides never extended farther than milking Uncle Sam for tax credits or lucrative federal contracts. He doesn't give a shit about colonizing Mars or combating global warming, but he sure is interested in th

Being a partisan brand can be decent business, but Elon seems to be chartering a particularly dangerous course as the Venn diagram of right-wing cultural warriors and people interested in buying green technology is exceedingly small.

I recall a similar comment from a TED talk by Scott Galloway where he was lamenting the brain waste of the industrial advertising complex: > Now we have the 700,000 best and brightest, and these are the best and brightest from the four c

That's fascinating. Sadly, based on the quality of software engineering I've witnessed (and produced) over my career, if I were to find myself having to trust my life with any of it, I would be terrified.

I think this is about certainty. We don't object to euthanasia for incurable cancer because we understand that A) it's painful and B) it's terminal. But that's not the case for depression because there are literally mill

Stellantis (Dodge) has an upcoming version of the RAM 1500 that does this. It's an electric truck with a 145 mile range on electric battery; once that is expended the gas engine kicks on to run a 130 kilowatt generator. https:/&#

Why do we prohibit children from buying booze and guns? Isn't it incumbent upon the parents to prevent them from accessing those things?

Good, because Google Home devices fucking suck lately. Especially compared to the answers I get from the ChatGPT voice mode.

Yeah, the same guy that was going to single handedly fix Twitter's search for Elon and resigned after 4 weeks saying there was nothing he could do.

Sweet. Wonder if this opens the door a DeCSS-style hack for open source iMessage clients?

As a Gen X dev, I think it's more nuanced than flat out age discrimination. Young devs are naive and optimistic. They'll fall for "we're one big family here". They'll come to the "hackathon" that&#x27
