For real. There were people debating online about whether a shot in the trailer was real or not, but it was someone’s arm and a leather harness thing. Why does that even need to be CG? Literally paint someone’s arm blue.

This is definitely true, but I also think it's overused in typical UI components. I often see patterns where some user event triggers a state change, which triggers a useEffect hook. In most cases, you could instead have your event han

It should be compared with other comment sections, not newspapers. I agree though, this is a weird take.

Any idea how much this compares to previous prices?

I think the Wilhelm scream is just annoying. It's an unnatural and goofy scream. I still appreciate it as a tradition though.

It's been many years since I deleted my Facebook, but it was absolutely hidden like you describe. As far as I could tell there was no way to navigate directly to it from the site itself.

I didn't know about ViewComponent until now, it looks more appealing to me than Rux. Dealing with transpilers is a necessary evil in JS land, I really don't want to bring that headache into my Ruby code.

To disagree with my own point a bit, it’s unfortunate that the controls HTML5 added look different in every browser, and can’t be styled with CSS at all.

It would be so great if there were more built-in interactive elements like tabs, modals, and tooltips. How many times have these incredibly basic things been re-created?

I don’t know if you’re trying to make an authoritarian argument but it sounds like one. Yeah I’m worried about government abuses. That’s a pretty fundamental part of democracy

I don’t think this is considering the full picture. It would be great if we could magically eliminate nazi ideology, but is the best way to do that really to hand the government extra censorship powers? Do you think the government is going

I think it may be possible for someone to write an interesting book with the assistance of an LLM, but what this article is warning about is people dumping tons of low-effort AI generated content into the market. Those are just not going to

The challenge is making it fun. I'd compare it to procedural generation. There are some big success stories there, and lots of games where it just generates infinite bland content.

They are taller and heavier. I don't know about the studies or numbers, but just imagine that you are walking, biking, or driving a small car, and you are hit by a small car vs. a truck or SUV. The location and force of impact is very

> I wouldn't blame OpenAI for this They're offering the tool, it's at least partially their responsibility to tell people how it should and should not be used.

There's also no clear motive. They want to attract users to a fake feature their free tier?

Makes sense. Nobody just blindly navigates to a domain name. You either know it for sure or you search.

I can see that, but also being out of the loop on social media is incredibly fleeting. If you haven't seen Star Wars you'll feel left out of some conversations, if you don't know about the long nose dog meme or whatever, just

Then they get to blame the parent. "I want to use social media but my lame parents won't let me." Then they're left out of some things, but they get to deflect that social stigma. I'm willing to accept being the lam

So is artificial light poisoning the planet? I think they made some interesting points but they didn't even really quantify what that means.

This isn’t too different from requiring students to write essays. No one actually needs another essay about Shakespeare or whatever, and ChatGPT could do it for you, but the point of the exercise is to learn to write. It’s the process, not

As an outsider, the ecosystem looks like a mess. The point of the article is to illustrate some of those issues.

Same. I find it pretty invasive and weird, especially if it's a 1 or 2 day stay.

That's true. I'm mostly thinking of chatGPT because that's the one I've used.

I think it's more useful if you're asking it to create something new, similar to the image generation tools. I can tell it write a script to call some public API, write a rough draft of an essay, generate dialog for a video game,
