Working in the events broadcasting space, this opens up OBS to being a viable alternative to professional software like vMix. Especially the P2P support and support for broadcasting multiple scenes seem extremely valuable to have.

Maybe I'm just extremely fast but I can't imagine it taking that long because like I mentioned, it's just those 3 steps for most taxpayers. It's hard to explain unless you've actually filed taxes in the US which mos

just want to chime in to say that it's around that fast in the US as well Most people will just have to enter their W2, choose the standard deduction, and then click submit. There are free tools that do this already like FreeTaxUSA. Th

I guess the question is if I create something that's extremely derivative and standard/boring but I say that it's uniquely myself then is that true? I suppose it could be if I'm calling myself boring.

By that same logic you could also say that language is math. In fact I think your quote kind of disproves your point because the content/state of a program is super important in coding more than the form. Coding used to be very close t

The whole point is that I don't want to run other people's code on my machine so I use an LLM to generate code (that I verify) which does the job I need it to. For small, well contained requirements, it works quite well.

What I've been doing is using high audience extensions (like Tampermonkey) and getting ChatGPT to write a script for it which does what I need it to. Much more effective and trustworthy than relying on another extension developer. If T

If it's true now then it means it was false before. Unless the claim is that every few months there's a noticeable spike in capabilities however the grandparent commenter seems to claim otherwise (ie, that only recently did it imp

Don't forget that this is also a PRELIMINARY agreement. So it's not clear what the terms even are.

I would love to say the same of India but unfortunately India has all of those problems and even the best parts of India don't hold a candle to even tier 2 cities in China.

I think what you're referring to is the same as strong code ownership. Each repository/directory has an owners file which specifies who can accept changes. If someone makes a change in my repo, I still own that change because I ac

Superhuman is an interesting term because it's very vague. In some sense, computers have always been superhuman. I don't know anyone who could do a 10 by 10 digit multiplication in a fraction of a second yet even the earliest comp

I agree with the parent commenter. I think it's fair to be concerned with backdoors but this is a distributed file system which can be completely isolated from the outside world. If you're so worried, you could run it in an airgap

The letter of the law is the same for rich and poor people but the implications are very different. Neither rich nor poor people can steal or sleep under a bridge but rich people have money and homes so those laws essentially don't app

Developers know that AI will replace some of their coworkers. But only the "bad" ones who can't code as well as them. AI will learn from all of their good code and be used to generate similar code that's better than the

Perhaps Google does well for their publishers but do they do well for advertisers? Inherently it seems like it's impossible to do both because what's good for one group is bad for another. Fortunately with healthy competition we s

I wonder if it's a bit of a vicious cycle. For example, if you only ever listen to new music that Spotify gives you then at a certain point, the algorithm only knows how to output the things that it has already outputted. If you don&#x

I used to think like this but after seeing the amount of money invested into crypto companies which most average people could have quickly dismissed as irrelevant, I'm not sure VCs are a good judge of value.

While the PS3 has a soft spot in my heart (free online multiplayer!) I can't help but wonder if the subpar launch gave Microsoft Xbox a leg in the race where otherwise the Xbox 360 might have been the last console in their lineup.
