I would like to maybe be able to say: Set two timers, one for 20 minutes, and another for 50 minutes. or Turn off the lights in my living room, and my office. That's about as advanced as I want my home assistants to be though.

How about moving away from the unicorn model into creating small, sustainable and focused companies that don't explode, but provide sustainable income.

I made a little toy compiler for a university project many years back, and I agree with the article - it's quite a nice way to get hands on with syntax and helps you think a bit more deeply about what is actually happening. https:&#x2

Well, maybe, but I think the huge thing missing from this assumption is that Apple are not paying OpenAI anything, and are developing their own in-house and on-device models. And a lot of what those on-model devices can do are what the aver

I don't know how fully I agree with this, to be honest. Or, yes, I do - but we obviously outsource a lot to the tools we use. Rightly or wrongly we expect our search engines to source good sources and high quality information. And that

There are literal ads for Meta Ai on television. The idea they’re not selling something is absurd.

Gosh, my first job was writing HTML emails. Those heady days of lamenting the fact that some companies STILL use Lotus Notes not dead, I see.

It jumped out to me that I had to highlight and ask it to check my grammar, rather than have it be an automatic process. I don't use Grammarly, really, but I think at least that one is more automatic?

I think there's still a myriad of concerns around the ethics of using others uncredited images to power models that aim to disenfranchise artists. but my biggest concern is that I think they look tacky, and putting it right in the mess

It is funny to think about how many Apps have probably built text-generation into their product, just to get it enabled on Apple Devices for free.

Few thoughts: It seems like this is what Rabbit's LAM was supposed to be. It is interesting to see it work, and I wonder how it will work in practice. I'm not sold on using voice for interacting with things still. Image Generation

I mean, it is a bit of a scam though right? I can pay for an NFT, 'own' the NFT, and still have been scammed. In the case of this device, it told users it has functionality that, plainly, it does not have. It marketed itself based

I’m conflicted on this. I pay for YouTube premium - for background playing on my phone and for Ad-less on my TV. I pay more for Netflix, and I use it a lot less. So I’m airing on the side of agreeing, but I also think Googles tactics have b

I get that feeling of feeling like everyone is faking being happy, and I'm glad that you've found a way to overcome it. For me, I've always struggled with being overly cynical. I can't let nice moments be, and I can&#x27

I used to do this on Windows XP to make my desktop look cleaner, all the files were ALT+255 repeated N times, or, more accurately, repeated a random number of times.

Odd, because I actually worry about this. I don't see why you'd want your books read by the author. Trained Voice Actors do a much better job, and can modulate their voices based on tone. Autobiographies? Fine, but most of the tim

I think Software Engineering attracts neurodivergent people. I am an adhd software engineer, and know a disproportionate amount of adhd software engineers. I think that level of executive dysfunction and “catchup” is problematic

Albert Heijn does this in the Netherlands, tied to your loyalty card. You can even import your shopping list and show it on the little hand scanners. At the end, you scan your loyalty card and it shows up on the self checkout. I think it’s

I actually completely agree with you on this. I work as a Solutions Architect, one of the salesy kind. The presentations I care about, that I put time into, I will use high quality stock images. One of my recently presentations about GenAI

I opened a support ticket with my Bank, BUNQ, recently. It was 'resolved' by an AI Agent. It simply spat out what I said to it, and said "We can now proceed with this request." It took about 5 more days to receive any an

AI images seem to all have this sort of shimmer too them, that make them quite easy to identify - even without having to dig into the imperfections.

Wow Hippocratic AI. You can tell it's safe, because they named it as safe.

The only place I've found a use for AI art is in powerpoints, where the general vibe of an image is often sufficient. Anything requiring specificity is.. out.

I’d argue you’re vastly over complicating it. There’s already mechanisms to side load, and install IPAs.. Why would it be more complicated?

I live in a nice little city in the Netherlands, Leiden. I am from the U.K. I cannot believe people would want to live any other way than with accessible bike paths and walkable streets. It is mad.

I didn't say it was the same, I compared non-agentic Claude to this. This used HumanEval.

Yeah, I do not buy the idea that Photography replaced painting. Especially since capturing abstract forms, and less realistic interpretations is still something hard to accomplish in photos. It did absolutely replace the need to commission

I guess I'd be interested to see how this performs against the same benchmark Devin was using. It's hard to deny that this isn't impressive. But I think there's two interesting parts to it. Claude 3 Opus already scored a
