A thinker might say "LLMs are inevitable, here's why" and then make specific arguments that either convince me to change my mind, or that I can refute. A tech executive making an inevitablist argument won't back it up wi

I’m at a roughly A2 - B1 level at the language I’m learning and I picked up a whole lot of pretty basic grammar errors in the first conversation. The app also used a bunch of constructions I’m not familiar with even though I specified I’m a

Right - I think it would be appreciated by your users if you at the very least made it clear from the outset how well different languages are supported and what degree of testing you have done. Certainly if your product were to mis-teach me

This actually looks pretty neat. How have you been able to achieve such broad language support so quickly? How widely have you tested your supported languages on native-speakers and learners?

If I have to be a self-hater to be able to read an article that's critical of me and the industry I'm in, and not be offended by it, then I guess that makes me a self-hater.

Sponsorblock has a Safari extension in the iOS app store and it works quite well. Doesn't block ads though.

That was an attack targeting an optional dependency that receives significantly less scrutiny than OpenSSH proper. Which to be fair, is probably also the most plausible path if you wanted to attack Signal. I would quibble with calling it &q

There are already permissions dialogs for using the camera/microphone. I don't think it'd be absurd to implicitly grant WebRTC permissions alongside that.

Further, Cursor might cost $20/month today, but to what degree is that subsidized by VC investment? All the information we have points to frontier models just not being profitable to run at those types of prices, and those investors ar

This was something that surprised me traveling in Spain a few years back - that I had to ask a pharmacist to buy paracetamol. This wasn't the case anywhere else I've been in Europe (Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Sweden).

YC has definitely backed some shady shit in the past, but I suspect these guys might just be straight-up fraudsters. They claim to be backed by several major investors, but I can't find them in YC's startup directory [1] or Antler

This will definitely get you to run with a higher priority than the user's time machine backup, but it's not guaranteed to get your code onto a p-core if the machine is on battery and your app doesn't have focus.

I have an Xbox 360 wired controller that I purchased circa 2008. I use it at least 1-2 times a week - these days for gaming on PC mostly, although I still pull the 360 out of the closet from time to time. The thumbstick rubber is definitely

This is exactly my point - it successfully accomplishes a very specific task, in a way that is fragile and context dependent, and completely fails to handle any errors or edge cases, or reckon with any complexity at all.
