    Honest opinion: Really charming on first look, but nothing where you can get lost in the details, because once you look closer, the soullessness of the generated imagery comes thro…

    The issue with Whisper is that it messes up both names of both products and guests. What we aim to do is make new subs, but including all the product names and guest names as hints…

    It's so refreshing to see a proper website these days, no js, no cookie banners, just hypertext. Your part about still enjoying programming really resonated with me. I still get so…

    This really makes clear how boring web design has become. 99% of websites use the same standard layout, there's almost nothing distinct or exciting about any of the designs. I reme…

    In Eindhoven, NL, there is a similar system without app. At night traffic lights are red by default, if sensors in the pavement detect an approaching car they turn green in time. I…

    To be honest: not a fan. It creates a completely new image based on a photo, rather than fix it. The Einstein photo shows particularity well how pretty obvious facial features just…

    I recently tried looking up something about local tax law in ChatGPT. It confidently told me a completely wrong rule. There are lots of sources for this, but since some probably un…

    I would say a big difference of the Internet around 2000 and the internet now is that most people shared information in good faith back then, which is not the case anymore. Maybe b…

    My take: While AI tools can help with learning, the vast majority of students use it to avoid learning

    I never really trusted dentists, and I was validated when I went to a new dentist my brother recommended. It turned out that dentist had an accident and had a temporary substitute.…

    Quality writing and sloppy ML-genrated thumbnails really don't fit together, but I saw you already announced that you will replace them with proper images, so this will be a nice r…

    I say go for it. Most websites are bland and forgettable. Every startup site looks the same these days. I'm not saying we need to go back to the absolutely wild early 2000s designs…
