I mean you're not wrong, but consider that a lot of high-level developers treat low-level details such as CPU architecture, memory virtualization, and even garbage collection as es…

Appreciation of the arts getting compared with greed of billionaires ..... How the times have changed.

Cybersecurity researchers who let loose worms or ransomware? Car mechanics who break things so you come back for more business? Airline pilots who... hijack their own flight?... Hm…

No, people tried to sell “prompt engineering” services well beyond that — especially for image generating AIs, which where believed to need extra instructions like “professional li…

That depends. Your interpretation is “em+en+em”. But another, potentially wittier interpretation is “em in em”, i.e., you split an em-dash into two en-dashes and put an em-dash ins…

I think we're getting at the heart of your misunderstanding. You seem to feel that we're running out of codepoints in Unicode (the “limited number of shelves” analogy). This could …

That's one way to telling us you don't read professional writing without telling us you don't read professional writing.

The comment about your keyboard is ironic given the nerd forum we're in. The em and en dashes live on my keyboard alongside the hyphen because I'm a techie and I know how to put th…

I'm in my 40s and I also prefer to call people on Discord, Telegram, Signal or (if no other option available) WhatsApp. The phone dialer is just inconvenient, while the above-menti…

I tried on both phone and desktop and couldn't find that alleged setting either.

Apparently not compatible with Android.

Strange thing to be publicly proud of.

> Whilst I agree that addictive things can be bad how far does this ago? We don't need to get bogged down in this question before doing the first obvious thing and banning the most…

I was on LiveJournal a long time ago and I distinctly remember seeing Facebook, when I first tried it after everyone couldn't stop talking about it, as an unviable alternative prec…

I think it should be illegal period. Advertisement is deliberate manipulation by exploiting known psychological vulnerabilities in humans. It's a despicable thing to want to do int…

That sounds sadistic, to be honest. I think it's more fun when I know I'm not being unethical.

That's right, you're all alone in this private chat room.

> When I compare what I’ve seen in my life so far, I don’t think anything comes close (for better and worse) to even one of those things. I dunno, I personally consider the interne…

Your whole argument for not taking someone seriously is that they use a specific word 15 times? That's your standard for insanity?

Not sure how to feel about your implication that unmarried people are neither grown up nor adults.

Did anyone notice how the article goes on and on about making AI accessible to the billions of people in the world, but then in the same article says this: > Your agents need to be…

How do you think humans experience desktop interfaces? “Basically just OCR'ing screenshots” is exactly what humans do.

> Is that specified or does it always just assume it isn’t really being put in charge of things for real? I think it's neither, and it's interesting that those are the only two pos…

The button to place an order should 100% be idempotent. There's one order you're constructing in your shopping cart, perhaps with an internal ID, and the irreversible “commit” butt…

It seems somewhat clear to me. You want it executed twice if and only if the operation isn't idempotent. Can you give an example where you think both behaviors are equally defensib…
