Yes! And all the splash screens! Or even just the computer taking 5 minutes to start up.

Nice idea and appreciate it's a prototype - appears very glitchy for me in Chrome where bus routes appear/disappear when zooming in/out, i.e. it can show no routes at all, but then if you either zoom in or out they appear (so

I've just tested it and it works - you have to disable touch though to get the full 'lock down to one event ticket'

100% - I would have assumed the author would have searched first as it's trivial to find this feature if you look on Google or ask ChatGPT. I do wonder if part of the issue though is that we have thousands of these 'great' fe

Depends how much you are using it - for a casual user the $20 tier gives you just about enough use for hobby projects etc. Or if you are doing full time development then you just need to pony up for the 20x tier if you want to use it. Runni

I mean it was just an example, but I get AI to do things like this all the time... ChatGPT planned my latest work trip by looking through flights, hotels and pulled together 3 options of itineraries for me, and wrote an email I could send t

You can change the prompt, and give the agent tools, and that keeps the agent up to date. The agent doesn't know the date, or know what hotels there are in Montreal, it sees: > System: You are an AI agent. The date is 11th August 20

Maybe...? I mean not anyone I know but i'm in the UK to be fair. It's like if you put four boxes in a box, it's not too confusing that the outer box is still a box.

Scaling is definetly hard - but there is no absolute requirement to put huge flagship models into this technology (although it might be possible over time). A fairly dumb but FAST model has it's own totally distinct use-cases even if i

Quantity of shelves stacked isn't a typical measure of value in an organisation. If a CEO can help lead the team to make shelf stacking easier (e.g. pre-sortation, introduce self ready packaging, lower delivery quantities to reduce nee

Disturbing? In what sense? Other news sources are paywalled and UK citizens have to pay in tax.

This analysis doesn't actually prove the title, as it only considers founders that have gone to OpenAI or Anthropic, however even if it did it isn't particularly suprising. Sam Altman was the president of YC, so it's not part

State where the value is then, without just stating features that cause lock-in. You can't blindly just call me an idiot and say there's loads of value without stating what it is (I mean you technically can, but it's not a br

The reason the 30% rate is sustained though IS the abuse of market power with the PMFN clause, which ensures that competitors cannot price lower. Everything else is an attempt to stay the primary shopfront. Sure you can sell your game and g

I'm not sure on that: 1) Lots of people think they are partly complicit in all the skins trading/gambling that children do, which is basically skirting gambling laws. This has culminated in a current lawsuit in New York which clai

It's 100% about control - it's the same in the UK. Last year it was about having to scan your face to verify your age to access porn (to protect the children). They said: It's not about control, it's about protecting chi

I don't see why you can't do that? There's plenty of things that cost money that legislation forces companies to do anyway, regardless of if there is a 'funding source' or not. Although this particular one is from t
