I guess because such a tool starts with you having to input a ton of data before being useful. Either people don't do that or if they are willing then the platform would be getting lots of valuable data and wants to keep you feeding it

The original versions were a way to make fun even a boring event such as a 404. If the page stops conveying the type of error to the user then it's just bad UX but also vomiting all the internal jargon to a non-tech user is bad UX. So,

Well, we have 3 main boxes and 1 got mostly rejected (windows). One is a worse version of OSX and the other is basically what would have happened if Linux was initially created by a huge corp. My dream is for a top-notch Ubuntu for mobile.

Same here. Also, I tend to look for obscure and old books (I love old travelogues) and once I find one that really gets me, you'll be sure to receive it as a gift, if I think you'd be someone (or in a place in life) who would enjo

You have no idea what you're talking about. Flatulence is as much voluntary as sneezing, sure you can try to hold it in but 1) it's not always possible and 2) it might actually be bad for you. And for some people it can just sta

Being an ad has nothing to do with whether the claims are true or not (one would assume they are somewhat realistic). It's merely advertising the existence of a product to other people.

Not always, as I wrote in another comment this is because of the Japanese script reform for "modernising" and simplifying the script. So sometimes kanji look similar but are not. More info at: https://en.m.wikipedia.org

Yep and no. That's a common misconception. Like Chinese, old Japanese went through a systematic simplification of its kanji 100 or so years ago. The rules were decided a priori to make the job easier. This meant that several kanjis end

The difference is that for most words you can easily get 90% there in English and, even if you don't read it properly, the listener can somewhat get what you are trying to say. And say you don't know how to read "conscientiou

2 rules of joining a startup: 1. If you can get assured bonuses instead of stock options, pick that unless it's going to be a unicorn. 2. It's not going to be a unicorn.

Don't most binary format must have some specification somewhere (either private or public)? Unless someone just decided to shove random stuff in binary mode and call it a day?

So ChatGPT was advertised as a letter counter? Also, no matter what hype or marketing says: GPT is a statistical word bag with a mostly invisible middleman to give it a bias. A car is a private transportation vehicle but companies still try

Is counting the number of B's vital? Also, I'm pretty sure you can get an LLM to parse text the way you want it, it just doesn't see your text as you do, so that simple operation is not straightforward. Similarly, are you wor

The math doesn't add up: even if the top 10% of US kids ate 0% of ultra-processed foods and the rest have 80+% in their diet, it would still be a larger average than the one reported.

Yeah, I don't remember ever thanking the spellchecker anything in the past. Maybe we are kinder to technology nowadays that we even credit it? Thank you to Android for mobile Internet connectivity, browsing, and typing.

I'd expect a few millions of annual pay, anyone could retire on that. Whether someone wants to, it's different but having anything beyond $1M available is definitely sufficient, especially if you're sub-40.
