All enablers also enable mediocrity. That's not new. At least when the non-mediocre engineer has to work with someone, they can have a tireless responsive partner. I find this vari…

I'm not American or ever worked in the USA. It's not a judgement of human value. It's a judgement of work output.

When you criticize AI, always remember that the alternative is the average employee. Today's models are pretty good.

For example in the UK the police did a sting simply by wearing expensive watches, and caught 31 robbers in a 12 month period. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-68003783 I agree that a…

They actually do though. First thing to learn when swiping is what's worth swiping, and if no one will buy an iphone paper weight then it's not worth the risk.

It's disabled geographically, not based on band compatibility or carrier or anything. Not sure about New Zealand because I heard it's not consistent. It'd be 5G, VoLTE/Wifi, VPN, c…

Translated tweet text from Japanese gaming Youtuber Shinjisan: "I checked out the reviews on Steam now that you can see them by country, and I noticed that for almost every game, t…

It's hard to recommend games when you don't have a baseline taste. The past couple of years having a demo became very common on Steam, so I suggest trying some demos. You've played…

We just got a tool to circumvent advertisement and malicious diversion and influence.

The weights that are public today are already good enough for this. The cat is fully out of the bag.

I had to accept cookies once, not each time I look up a recipe or a new piece of information. That's comparable to having to install a browser. I also didn't have to scan a hostile…
