    This is the critical problem with all of this. Daylight savings time changes, can't be globally banned fast enough really.

    They are mostly "faster" than the majority of humans. They are rarely better than experienced and talented humans at the majority of tasks they are able to do. They are better on b…

    I dunno I was listening to someone explain this on a podcast and to put up something on the scale of a typical land based data center would make it, by orders of magnitude, the lar…

    I have the same car and want to do this, but not for the reasons the author noted but because the GPS unit in the car is broken when paired with Carplay and has the wrong compass h…

    Man I thought this was about the new Stargate show which they are filming in the UK. I was trying to square why OpenAI would be in charge of that.

    So not PowerBI then. Or really any BI tool. My favourite example of not "fast" right now is any kind of Salesforce report. Not only are they slow but you can't make any changes to …
