Ah. These days I just use speech to text, with a combination of swiping sometimes and tapping for punctuation. I also don't to use my phone much anymore (since I reduced social media usage and disabled notifications). FWIW I think the

I'm someone who switched from SwiftKey (paid plan) to GBoard, and never looked back. I much prefer GBoard to SwiftKey. So it might be a matter of preference

I've written C++ for a long time, and I do agree that the language brings certain improvements over C. I think most people will agree with that. However, C++ can be incredibly frustrating to work with depending on the codebase. Overall

Let me preface this with: there's a bit of bro-science in this, but it seems to work for me. I think the main component is that after I wake up, I have a normal warm shower, and after I rinse myself. However, then I turn to cold water.

Don't get me wrong, it's really cool technology, but calling the first example a "game" is... Grossly overstating what it is. However, given it was made by someone who's not a [game] developer, it's pretty cool

You're spot on. It's unfortunate we see crying as a weakness. Even machines need an outlet. Electronics need cooling; cars need an exhaust. So, it should be okay for humans to let it out, too.

I think it's more nuanced than that. I like to simplify these complex topics to myself by gamifying them a little. Imagine every time you make a conscious decision to do something you expend willpower points. You have a only a set numb

I was thinking of doing something similar, but was never sure what to use that many keys for. Can you provide a photo or list a few examples of what you're doing with yours? Thanks!

Some people use Macs for work. I guess you can think of it as a long-ish investment and get it on finance, but considering how quickly hardware becomes outdated in some industries where Macs are are either a technical or social must-have, t

Hmm. To me it seems like you maybe didn't get out of the new character instance. That thing is basically a 20-30 minute (depending on race) racial story instance. Those tend to have linear progression most of the time, and I think you

I think Google has a weird pathological case maybe. So, I'm not sure I would use them as a forecast. I think R&D is good in any company. Sure, the nature of R&D is that most of it is failure; that's just the way it is. AI

I'm a developer and a hobby artist. So I could br a bit off on the art front. For development: it's helped me adopt new libraries a bit quicker. It also helped with generating a first draft of documentation/comments, or to he

I know people like to politicise things since it usually creates a simple sense of unity and to gives people a sense of moral superiority. Simple is good. We humans like simple. If we didn't go and simplify things we don't deal wi

I think you're conflating imagination and creativity with taste. Your example might be cute and funny, but as you yourself alluded: it's completely bland and tasteless. It's maybe good enough for a "meme dump" but t

I've had to do something similar in a much shorter career as well (about 10 years or so). I think the rate of change is much quicker these days too. It was still always within the tech field, but for better or worse my career has been

Could you instead use AI to reduce drudgery in your work, or to iterate faster between ideas until you settle on a final peace? What if you have something in mind that is hard to prompt for, or the tool just refuses to generate what you had

A smart company will realise it's better to be 2x productive for the same money than to be at the same productivity for half the money.

Ah. I think it still requires you to understand what you're doing. I tried to use both copilot and ChatGPT 3.5 and 4. It doesn't get a lot of things right in my interest areas. I think it's great as a crazy-good autocompletio

I find this situation a bit funny. I agree with you on almost everything you said. I think the only part we maybe disagree is on the importance of style as a form of expression. I think style is a big part of it (or mixture of styles). To m

I think this is a futile discussion. I think originality certainly exists, and I've seen it may times in the art world. I could be wrong, but you seem to imply originality is a made up concept? Do original thoughts even exist? Are our

Oh right, sorry. I was talking generally, not specifically to Firefly. Yeah, I think Adobe is a publisher and as such, you give it distribution rights. So, I agree with you on this case. Slightly tangential, but Imagine a singer or actor&#x

I do! If they aren't in some way public domain, then the authors should have a say, or be if the work is purchased. I have a bit of cognitive dissonance on the subject of blog posts or articles in general, since those are kinda public
