I'm not claiming it was intentional on their part. My point was solely one of language, so how the sentence came to be written that way is out of scope. And given the word swap I suggested, I don't think it is awkward at all (unli

I'm a native English speaker, and I partially disagree with your claims of awkwardness. "when our servers are under high traffic pressure" - this is a bit awkward I agree, but only the last three words. If we rearrange it to

So many pronouncements on people's inner lives. The temptation to caricature the wedding guests in her paintings must be formidable.

Not if the process of trying to become one is itself enjoyable. I am a habitual setter of improbable goals. I decided I would become a world class acrobat (if you knew me, you would laugh at that idea). Did I do it, of course not. But did I

I would dispute that what is happening with AI music is well described by the phrase "expand and grow". In my view "democratzation" s a weasel word, meaning the removal of skill and effort from the process of production.

"Also couldn’t they just retrofit a battery somewhere instead of a new steam generator?" Kindly hand in your tail coat, stovepipe hat and brass head-up-display monocle on your way out, sir!

Data modelling, especially in high dimensions can be non-obvious to a human, yet a tractably small program can do well.

UX includes the possibility that the software will be actively influencing the user, rather than merely acting as a tool to be used. (websites selling you stuff versus a utilitarian desktop app).

"So you would say, if someone has a talent for cooking, specializes himself, becomes a professional," - do you typically know all that about the people who staff the restaurants you visit? And do you think it is the case?

"these tools have democratized creativity.". For sure! After all, what could be more democratic than a monthly subscription that could get snatched away at any moment - and clearly there's nothing more creative than pressing

I don't think there's any stopping it, unfortunately. The internet is too good at "optimising" content. The future is Mr Beast, Instagram hotties and 6 pack guys, tiktok morons and onlyfans. Be happy, the market has spok

It's very good, really impressive demo. My feedback would be, Maya needs to keep quiet a little longer after asking a question. She would ask something, then as I thought about my reply, already be on to the next thing. It left me with

A catchy title is all you need (to get attention).

I agree - programming is it's own medium for creation - not just a tool to produce other media.

Am I right to think that OwlEars is supposed to summarize a user's typed comment? Anyway, here's a datapoint - I added this user comment. "Spindeliver dropped my food on the road several times,as I watched the delivery cyclis

All UK internal phone numbers start with a zero. However when you dial the UK from abroad, you omit the leading zero, so the UK version of the number in question would be 01831, which sounds a lot like an area code (though apparently is not

"I don't know if they are just lesser musicians, but it definitely feels forced" I think the art with that sort of stuff is making a rhythm and melody for the vocal, or lead instrument that feels natural, yet fits over the od

Plenty of people have definitely said they can't. But the lesson is - just don't listen to anyone, because nobody knows the future, and you can do whatever you want and let the chips fall where they may!

Forgive me, but your last sentence seems like a platitude. What would such institutions look like, and how might they reduce the suffering of someone with, say, advanced dementia? I'm not trying to have a go btw - it genuinely seems an
