I think they lost their direction and at the same time customer appeal. When OpnePlus started it was something new, now I have no reason to choose OnePlus for some time already.

I clone some repo from github, open it with default code editor which happens to be Cursor. I am cooked. That is it. It is the same as autorun.exe on some CD - I put some CD in my CD-ROM and my Windows are compromised. You can argue that I

But doesn't things like that happen with people? Take academy where some professor implicitly states "facts" or military or software development where some highly praised senior always has his last word...

I think it was just cancer overall. One kills you lings, another kills you gut, heart and etc. We know that smoke itself is really really bad for you. Open fire is bad for you. Sitting around campfire with a glass in your hand and a guitar

Statistics and other lies. One interesting point the article touches - there was a study concluding that if you quit smoking at 40 your life expectancy basically equalizes with people who did not smoke in their life. It is an encouraging me

Coding, programming and engineering are all a bit different concepts. Coding as in typing in the code might be solved. Engineering? Doubt. What is definitely not solved is knowing what you want and what user wants and what the end result is

Exactly. Is it LLMs fault or yours to believing in it so much.

If you gave some junior dev a large codebase and just told to "refactor it" you would get a terrible result. If you gave junior dev exact tasks what to do where you will get better results. Just like with LLM.

"It is not LLMs fault but you not knowing how to write a prompt". I know I know. But just giving all codebase and saying "rewrite it" is a no go. If e.g. going one class after class LLM will be exceptionally good at keep

And I personally get a lot of news from Facebook and Insta, never used Twitter. So who is to choose what social media is good and what should be banned.

If you look at dog breeds the difference between longest living (~15 years) and shortest (~10 years) is ~5years or 50% of the lifetime. However we still struggle to appoint the very same to humans. In popular sciences and general understand

I believe the "theater" is needed precisely for this - to catch bad actors. There could just be a long queue with some blind dog and scary looking guy at the end. What it still does is makes a bad guy sweat, plan against it and et

If you take any ancient or not so ancient civilization or kingdom, all the wealth including land and people's lives belonged to king/imperator which was appointed by god or something like that. Isn't is exactly the same with

I had to go back to the page to check that it actually uses pixel font. To each its own I guess. For me the font was barely noticeable.

It is like discussing zombie apocalypse. People who are invested in bunkers will hardly understand those who are just choosing death over living in those bunkers for a month longer.

Anecdotal story. Once I stumbled into Korean restaurant in China Town in NYC. I just ordered something like lunch. I was alone. They kept bringing plates after plates of various dishes. I was ashamed to leave so much food. Paid like 11 doll

Then again what if showing some funky hallucinogenic images/movies would have the same effect on some people? We surely know that people can go crazy (so have psychological effects) in cults and similar settings. What if intense visual

Looks like some kind of a gatekeeping ritual to rationalize why upper management salaries are in millions. I think we can also see in other industries too. You hire hundreds of interns and entry level workers to let them fight in the bloodb

I feel conflicted about this. On one hand canvas being client side will always lead to cat and mouse game where fraudsters can always generate required "answer". On the other hand innocent users will always be fingerprinted by ad

RTOS does not improve playback of music but is crucial if you e.g. want to produce music. Imagine a situation where you connect some MIDI keyboard and play some music - you want OS to produce the sound "real time" instead of &quot
