Why are you so confident that nobody will use this in real life? I know OpenAI showed only a few demos, but I can see huge potential.

Twitter user @mr_james_c opined about this: 1984 ad: Monochome, conformist, industrial world exploded by colourful, vibrant human 2024 ad: Colourful, vibrant humanity is crushed by…

> 0.2 or less I find that questionable. What does "software engineering in a business environment" require that a competent competitive programmer couldn't also learn?

Another worrisome development: https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2024/3/12/boeing-whistlebl... Al-Jazeera has really been on fire digging into Boeing. This video (though from 2014)…

Certainly a bit disappointing that Lottie or SVG format export doesn't exist. Hopefully a work in progress?

Personally, in my locale March is usually when the crocuses start peeking out and the robins return... first signs of spring. But just 100 miles east the landscape might still be a…

Some studies/analyses are surely laundered opinions. I have a habit these days of checking if the authors have a product to sell or funding to raise. If so, pinch of salt.

Wise decision as far as I'm concerned. Unfettered AI experiments on production systems are an IP and (depending on your field) regulatory nightmare waiting to happen. Unless you ha…

The problem with your suggested approach is the resulting lack of holistic context. The problem of OP's approach (direct parsing) is cost and context-window-limits. There has to be…

The usual caution applies here. The danger of data isn't in the data itself, but in how it's used and interpreted. In this particular case, a relatable comparison would be a book -…

I'm genuinely curious: What about push notifications (at least on desktop browsers) bothers you that much? I give permission to a few (like Gmail, etc.) and that's that; it makes m…
