I don't use Bing or Edge simply because of how shameless Microsoft has become in trying to shove ads in my face. It's disgusting and deplorable. I don't care if their products are any better, I avoid Microsoft products and se

This first generation of conversational AI clearly shouldn't be trusted, but I think there's huge potential for improvements. I see huge value in such an AI that can cite and quote real sources, and stitch together multiple verifi

I agree with this article, but I feel the author is only scratching the surface of all the harm ChatGPT and other generative AI systems are going to cause. We just have to look at the current state of the internet today, with things like SE

All of these articles against microservices are so annoying because I rarely see a good argument against microservices. Often the arguments are purely anecdotal and without substance. There are only two good arguments I can make against mic

Of course, the problem is people have very different opinions on what constitutes "really really bad" behavior such that it justifies killing someone. Even on a deserted island, I don't think I would advocate for this. It wou

Encourage couples to have fewer children with the intent of reducing the world population. About 100 years ago, the world had about 2 billion people. Today it is 8 billion people. The world population has quadrupled in just 100 years. I bel

I like the philosophy of Rust (and some other languages) of "safe by default". Rust variables are immutable by default, but can be made mutable using "let mut". Rust is memory safe by default, but can be made unsafe usin

Any chance that the FCC might take action against these groups for violating the CAN-SPAM act? Or maybe even turning this into a class action lawsuit? Some of the examples given in the article are not just spam but downright scams.
