1. Generate unit tests beyond the best-case scenario. Analogy: Netflix's Chaos Monkey 2. Incremental cleanup: I also use it as a fancier upgrade of Visual Studio's Code Analysis fe…

> Choosing not to pirate is just an objectively wrong choice. It's a worse experience, with worse quality, worse availability, and at a higher price tag. Choosing not to pirate and…

I'm tired, boss. The winning move is not to play. The HDMI Forum (and other orgs that behave similarly) prey on our desire for the most/best/(insert superlative here). I get that t…

From what I remember, in past bubbles that burst, everyone thought stocks will go up forever. So, if people are wondering out loud (with widespread traction) if there's a bubble, t…

Changed from Windows 10 to an Ubuntu with beefy specs. When I saw firsthand the improvement of the user experience, I felt the year of the Linux desktop is nigh.

"You" could range from being a scapegoat in a family/school class, to you being a member of an undesirable minority.

Such a mindset is ripe for selective enforcement and discrimination if society or someone powerful does not like you.

It's a symptom of a service problem.

EA... good?

I mean it's similar to banning Monegasque locals from gambling in Monte Carlo

A good stainless steel pan. I cook eggs there. It needs a certain technique to pull off, but once you learn it, the food tastes a lot better.

Seconding steps 1-2. I don't do step 3 because I want to whisk the eggs. It takes some practice, but the end result is worth it. The eggs taste better when cooked on a stainless pa…

ChatGPT's style is like an academic writer's. It's tone and word choice are same-ish across various subjects, but it's coherent and easy to understand. In retrospect, I've seen pap…

One step closer to me listening to public domain-only music if I could help it.

It's disheartening to think that the virtues you are told to have as a kid are considered "weak sauce" once you are an adult.

It should be treated as a natural monopoly (i.e. digital utility) along with all that it entails.

I can tell technical papers influenced ChatGPT's outputs the most. Most of the articles generated using it may be regurgitated, but I can't deny how easily digestable the info is w…

The authorities requested the delay of the disclosure: https://cbs58.com/news/nearly-all-at-t-cell-customers-call-a...

I use Feedly, switched to it from my previous platform because it can support atom feeds

As someone who dabbles in creating fiction as a pasttime, it's revolutionary. I can use AI to come up with details for minutiae that I don't have the time nor energy to conceptuali…

Anecdotally, this worked on for me. It's not a great improvement, but it was noticeable.

It's used as research. How valid is this usage as fair use?

This is why I'm wary of any talk of AI regulation. I understand the theory that unfettered AI is very powerful and dangerous. It's only my concern of the actual policies being as a…

The issue is that at its purest, programming does not sustain itself financially, or it does but not in the short term. The programming industry is designed to be financially profi…
