Not sure what Googlebook is, but in general: I want to be able to move my pointer to the top right corner and click to close the window. And before you make some claim like "use keyboard", the UI includes these window elements for

You are responding to a "money != happiness" comment with "people kiss asses to get more money because they're unhappy". Just saying.

Build caching is nice until you have to disable it because it broke something somewhere. At which point it becomes very hard to turn it back on. In other words, one needs to have absolute trust in such tools to be able to rely on them.

I do understand the core message but I don't get why the author seems upset about it. Sounds like people complaining that instagram models show fake "fake" life. LinkedIn is a social network. Professionals show off how succes

People of the earth, remember: unnecessary arm and leg movements increase the entropy! Fear of the heat death of the universe! Lie down when possible!

Thankfully in this case it's a curl vulnerability that doesn't use curl in the reproducer. That's a fairly safe call.

I see your point and I think it is a valid opinion, I just wanted to point out that if you are cosplaying as rsync, you are doing it right :-)

I'd argue we don't need a 10 star system. The single bit we have now is enough. And the question is also pretty clear: did $company steal other peoples work? The answer is also known. So the reason one would want an open source mo

This is actually a very good point. Although it's indeed not hard to imagine AI being far better at estimating the complexity of a potential solution and warning the user about it. For example in chess AI is already far better than hum

As someone who tried to be good at tetris but has failed miserably, this has potential to be a good tool to practice lookahead. Of course for that one'd need to have an option to see next N pieces in the queue. But it's indeed a n

Very interesting. For me the key point in such projects is always handling of distributed queries. It's exciting that pgDog tries to stay transparent/compatible while operating on the network layer. Of course the limitations that

Yeah and it feels Germany more than other EU states is dragging behind in everything IT related. Perhaps the problem isn't as much the lack of political will, but rather lack of competence.

What do you base your certainty on? Were there any significant enough breakthroughs in the AGI?

While I admire your optimism regarding those errors getting fixed, I myself am sceptical about the idea of that happening in my lifetime (I'm in my mid 30s). It would definitely be nice to be wrong though. That'd make life so much

Exactly. What I find surprising in this story though is not the OpenAI. It's investors not seeing through these blatant.. lets call them exaggerations of the reality and still trusting the company with their money. I know I wouldn&#x27

Just like OpenAI early on promised us an AGI and showed us how it "solved" Dota 2. They also claimed it "learned" to play by playing itself only however it was clear that most of the advanced techniques were borrowed fr

I agree, but when working with code written by your teammate you have a rough idea what kind of errors to expect. AI however is far more creative than any given single person. That's my gut feeling anyway. I don't have numbers or

After having used i3 and Sway, Windows is surprisingly bad at handling windows for an OS called Windows. It requires a bit of work to setup to your liking of course, but hey, at least you have an option to set it up to your liking
