> It's incredible how badly Microsoft mismanaged it. It's incredible how badly Microsoft mismanaged a lot of products. It genuinely makes me think they're aware of it at this point.

I and many others have said this before, but I'll say it again. Programming is the easy part. It really isn't hard and has never been hard to write software that generates code and other software. We've been doing that sinc

Honestly, the most astounding part of this announcement is their comparison to o3-mini with QA prompts. EIGHTY PERCENT hallucination rate? Are you kidding me? I get that the model is meant to be used for logic and reasoning, but nowhere do

Maybe this will help a bit. I'm a drummer. Drums are literally all about doing the exact same thing for hours and hours on end, but with the goal of perfection. What's perfection? That's all in the eyes of the player. Be

AI models are trained on the data from the internet, so sure, they couldn't do their search feature to scour the internet, but I doubt the material is much different than what the models were already trained on. Additionally, before th

I'm particularly talking about in the context of teaching someone what electrons are and how they behave at the subatomic level. High level overview? Sure, use analogies or models that aren't 100% accurate. But if we're ta

Ugh, this is one thing I really hate about academia. There's this weird fixation on trying to make things intuitive or tangible at every step along the way. The result is that you get five hundred very wrong/sort of wrong/o

I did a cursory search of this, but it looks like you might be able to get Notepad++ to do what you're looking for. It's certainly not an out of the box experience, but it might be something. https://unix.stackexchange

Nah it's definitely AI generated. I used to like Medium a lot, but ever since AI Models became mainstream, it's just been a cesspool of horribly written articles.

Not OP, but it's nice to be kept up to date on what companies are doing, who is hiring, stuff like that. I frequently see managers announcing positions on LinkedIn, but I couldn't care less about the borderline sociopathic postin

There's a book series called Balance Benders. It is purely just shapes and logic. The books have lots of puzzles in which they put different shapes on scales and your goal is to identify how many on each side results in a balanced sca

You worked on AC: Bloodlines?! I absolutely loved that game. I remember playing it on my white Star Wars PSP with a decal of Darth Vader on the back. I spent so many hours sitting on my bean bag chair playing it. Thank you for making my c

I could see this as an adult, but as a kid, this thing was killer. I remember thinking: "Whoa, burnout 3 is something I play on the big screen in the living room, and now it looks the same and I can play it on a handheld device?"

Okay genuinely, what stops billionaires from cashing out their assets? At some point, I really wouldn't care about getting another few billion from holding onto some asset, so I wouldn't mind just having that in liquid cash. Gra

Oh that's totally fair, and I'm happy to hear that audio books have been such a huge help for you! But just to clarify, do you listen to dense material on commutes or while on walks or are you listening and taking notes at a table

The video shows scenarios of people listening to pdfs of pretty dense material (e.g., computer science, bio mechanics). Does anyone here actually have positive results doing this? It seems to me listening to anything that's even remot

You're in luck: if you just append "fuck" to any search, google doesn't generate the ai model response.

Isn't the reason why so many other languages have reflection due to the fact that they essentially have the information there from the get-go? For example, C# and Java have their intermediate language that has a bunch of meta informati

Interesting idea. With the web scraping utility, do I need to specify which websites I wish for the api to scrape from or do I essentially just say, "hey I want this data, go get it"? If it's the latter, how do you go about

What was the extent of your web apps? Were they just simple todo type apps or were they decently complex? Did you modify the code yourself or was it just copy and paste mainly?

Very glad I bought a new PC when I did back in December. I saw this coming from a mile away, especially with tariffs on the way. I'll be holding onto my 4080 Super for a while.

I'm interested to know how they're achieving this on iPhone. My impression was that Apple was pretty closed off about this stuff. Maybe it's just going over the network through an app to emulate the UX of jumping from devic

Answering this directly to you based on what you've said: I would say no. Not even because of the AI consideration (which btw, we're going to be fine), but because you literally said you don't like it anymore. I would say as
