Personally, I think dark mode is unnecessary feature creep. But it's also because I never use it and hate it when it's the default and I have to go hunt for the hidden button to switch it off: I need lots of light, otherwise lette

Well a banana is a thing. You can have ten bananas in stock. You don't have ten softwares in stock. Unless you put it on a carrier and sell it one at a time, like a painting. Software is quite unique when you go the subscription route.

With subscription software, or subscription music, you're not paying for a thing, object, device. You're paying for someone's mind. The value isn't you using the app or playing the mp3. The value you pay for is someone e

Same here. My father was a bricklayer. Backbreaking work. On weekends he drove us to the houses he had worked on. We didn't appreciate it as young children, but he was definitely very proud of what he built.

> All AI has done is automated an already terrible process, which has - ironically - broken it so badly that it no longer works. Evil contains within itself the seed of its own destruction ;) Sure, sometimes you should fight the decline.

I agree with you in the sense that I find it helpful for personal topics. I found it very helpful to figure out how to deal with some difficult personal situation I was in. The thing actually helped me reassess the situation when I asked it

Does this really work though? I know nothing about the inner workings of LLMs, but don't you want to break their word associations? Rather than generating "garbage" text based on which words tend to occur together and LLMs

I once read the hypothesis that if you're spamming, scamming and phishing, you're trying to trick people who aren't paying attention, are inexperienced and are curious. For that target group, the exact text doesn't matte

Not the op but to me personally: yes. Facial structure, lips, eyes.. The configuration tilts towards an expression that I interpret differently. A friend of mine is Asian, I've learned to be better at it, but to me he at first looked

Fun game. The collision detection seems to have the same problem as the yin yang game that was posted a while ago: The critters sometimes cross the lines. I wonder if the root cause is similar, having to do with this being a browser game? N

Estimating the cost and performance up front is impossible unless you've deployed something similar before. I'm probably wrong but it seems to me like AWS (Azure / Google Cloud) is a good enough place to start, get a feel for

Im building a Calendar API. After working on a .Net Framework application for a long time, I finally started a .Net Core side project. Holidays, recurring events, timezone support, this thing should keep me busy for quite a while....

One often meets one's destiny on the road one takes to avoid it... Fear is contagious. Warn a kid they shouldn't drop the plate and they will; you signaled that you expected them to.. Sounds like you're anxious about him gett
