In the US, Apple has done an all time great job marketing their products. I don't think there is much more too it. "If I didn't buy Apple it would hurt my career". Obviously, compl…

I feel exactly the same way about this "I'm using AI as a cognitive amplifier. I'm learning at a much faster rate than I would without AI." I just don't know how much is actually b…

I can feel this already with my own use of language models. All the questions I had before language models, I have answered with language models. That doesn't mean I have no more q…

I love data visualization but it very much reminds me of shred guitar playing, something I also use to very much love. What non-guitar players are complaining about the lack of inn…

I notice I have been using the Google AI summary more and more for quick things. I had subscribed to Perplexity for a month to use their deep research. I think it ran out earlier t…

Prompting is not a myth. The words of the prompt matter huge. The problem with this prompt to me is not that it is not in a full sentence but that it isn't exact enough. Probabilis…

I always thought the same until I got one. It is a really good product. It especially stands out if on a diet and going to eat a lot of chicken breast. Steak I wouldn't cook in it …

It is also a problem that the projects are not realistic. What are you going to rebuild a banking mainframe system from the 1970s at home in your bedroom for fun? I don't think it …

No, you just live in a bubble of smart and really driven people. The vast majority of people's passions are partying, sex, alcohol/drugs, watching sports, gossiping, generally wast…

I am reading a great book right now. The Tao of Deception: Unorthodox Warfare in Historic and Modern China by Ralph Sawyer. I am not sure I would listen to anyone but Ralph Sawyer …

For $0.015 a minute it has to be. The books I am listening to now wouldn't even be $10. Any future price drops then will really make this a no-brainer. The Elevenlabs pricing to me…

I was on usenet in 1995 but I have heard that was too late and usenet already sucked then. In all fairness too, my 17 year old self who knew basically nothing about the world ,real…

I am always listening to audio books but they are no good anymore after playing with this for 2 minutes. I am never really in the mood for a different voice. I am going to dial in …

I think we know we can't solve the problem so we are just more interested in the optics. If the soccer mom switches from a gas guzzling SUV to another ridiculous size and weight el…

I think using your last name, counter intuitively makes discussion less civil. In a form like this, if someone is insulted, it is just the idea and words that have been insulted. W…

This is actually the complete opposite of what I want. I would love to go back to people not using their real name and an internet that is wild, free and maybe even a little bit da…

Thank you. That sounds perfectly sensible.

Krita is vastly better if you come to it from photoshop. I doubt there is anything that couldn't be done in either and it is simply a matter of time spent in the UI and personal pr…

I would think the health care system really needs something like this though to avoid disaster. The worst thing I have read about nursing is someone online saying the lucky people …

To me, it is the easiest trade in the world right now. Long NVDA on a market volatility spike. "AI is dead", "the high is in". It is obvious to me we are going to get to "AGI" in t…

My strangest memory were these videos from China of people just falling over dead in the street in early 2020. A guy just standing there and then does a face plant on the street. I…
