I think the bigger point is that it’s like a guy in the room. ChatGPT shows that the industry is graduating from Turing test territory to IQ test territory, and a lot of people are…

I’ve been in car crashes before but that doesn’t mean I’m ok with increasing their frequency and severity.

That article only says it’s the first this century.

Perhaps if they try to force you to arbitration you can push back and demand proof that you agreed to their terms, which is conveniently achieved by creating an account.

I’ve been using iPhone 6S since it was the flagship and I still don’t know any 3D Touch operations or shortcuts. I actually had to look up just now to double-check that this phone …

It doesn’t matter what it’s about though - if they were first at something then barring time travel they will always be the first, no matter how many more do it.

This makes me wonder if there might be a project out there that can compile Verilog to a schematic or netlist for 74-series logic. Edit: unsurprisingly, the answer is yes - http://…

I hear this a lot, but what jurisdictions and why? On the face of it, it seems batshit insane to me that there would be a place where I can’t waive my property rights on something.…

They have way more patience than I do. I’d have pointed out pretty quickly that this “customer” is not a customer of the gfortran team and is therefore irrelevant to the discussion…

I feel it’s even more accurate to say they are human behaviors that take advantage of religion (or any other available power structure). In a world dominated by religion they take …

> This really, really angers me. Even with people i kind of agree with. When lazy or dishonest or weak arguments are used, I get more upset if it’s in support of things I agree wit…

This article repeats “安谋科技” so many times but as far as I can tell, doesn’t mention even once how I might attempt to pronounce it or recognize when anyone else mentions it in the f…

The “nudge” can also come up even with exact starting information. When you calculate the next step and round it to the nearest nanometer, you’ve just nudged the system by enough t…

How do we know we aren’t the colonists?

Personally, I just want to know the cost of services before committing to pay. I have been unable to get that in many situations, even for non-emergency care.

The “exact” version they wanted was full of approximations too. They just didn’t have enough numerical literacy to understand how to say how much approximation they are ok with. I …

This is a bit of a tangent, but that makes me wonder… are there any languages where this particular collation would be correct?

Thinking you can buy a business relationship with millions of people on a network run mostly by volunteers and expect everyone to start operating it and using it for your benefit i…

A mechanic is in a good position to notice that when a car fails, it tends to fail in certain ways. Far too often, though, they then generalize to claims that the car is likely to …

Absolutely agree, but that’s a whole new can of worms and outside the point I was making (which was that it is not obvious that they made this change for the SOLE purpose of preven…

I understand about the frustration of not being able to source the part, but a change in a single IC or connector’s pin mapping absolutely can be a performance improvement alone. I…

It still doesn’t suck?

Saleae Logic. Their USB3 “pro” analyzers are fantastic and the software is clean, fast and user-friendly. Using host RAM for capture buffer is great and completely changed my workf…

The entire model many large web companies use of automating moderation and support to extreme degrees is, I feel, fundamentally wrong. I wonder what the ratios of customers to supp…

Did any one person say both of those things?
