Other people no doubt have legitimate complaints, but using Spotify is barely registering as a problem compared to other applications I have to deal with.

He's talking about philosophies in the article, one of which is that "text is the universal interface". LLMs are embracing this, as Unix did decades before.

But FIFA is the governing body of a sport, not a business. Hearing you say this is like hearing someone say that the United Nations is a commercial failure. Its purpose is to regulate and administer international football on behalf of its m

Obviously not everyone will necessarily have the same experience as me, but I can't say I've encountered any problems. I can't actually even think of any bugs. Nor do I have the same patience for tinkering with settings these

Great that it's peaceful. Jellyfin is an amazing project, and works almost exactly how I want it to. By listing and playing my media without autoplaying trailers and other such stuff. I imagine many here who've never tried it will

Maybe it's just me, but exploring the settings without a specific aim used to be a pretty fun. It was like seeing a vista of possibilities opening up. Now I often find it a frustrating experience, because, while I appreciate the attemp

Having learned guitar in a way that's somewhat similar to what's outlined in this article, I will say that someone doing this transcription-based method will likely naturally consolidate their "making tabs" into "ma

It's technically possible that early-life microbiome differences from bypassing the birth canal could influence it, but the fact that the association disappears when siblings who were delivered differently are compared is suggestive. &

I don't feel it's particularly controversial to think that Javascript shouldn't be a requirement to use the internet. This is one step towards making that the case.

'Awful' seems awfully subjective there. Can Skype even reasonably be grouped with Teamspeak? If all you want to do is quickly chat with a group, is Discord not actually far more annoying, all else equal? Windows isn't beating

Not that I'd call myself a buff, but I don't think my knowledge of larger numbers makes 10^24 a small number in any absolute sense. Cryptographic keyspaces are deliberately designed to be unfathomly large, whereas the number of st

I think you're broadly correct, although it's perhaps less applicable to games designed to hook you indefinitely. I often think about film reviewers, and how the sheer volume of film they've watched means that their experienc

Growing up, a close relation of mine was an economist, and certainly not of the Austrian school. As a teenager, I was basically ganged up on by a teacher and some kids when inflation was brought up in class. They seemingly had no concept of

While it may be true that the Austrian school uses it like that, it's certainly not the case that they're the only ones. In fact, I suspect if you speak to anyone economically trained over a certain age, there would be a high chan

That would only be safe if you assumed everyone shuffled well. The likelihood that more than one person used a poor or lazy shuffling technique on a brand new deck of cards seems significant.

Conversely, I feel like Lost is massively in the opposite category. They did get their massive up-front commitment for 6 seasons while in season 2. The character and thematic arcs are probably some of the best I've seen in TV, while ha

Most companies certainly won't be using "commercial grade internet" in the way that term is usually used. That would usually be reserved for large enterprises, which really only covers a small part of the workforce in practic

I think it's clear that solar panels, while working today, clearly haven't been able to solve today's problems, or else this discussion wouldn't be happening. But we should keep investing in them, one way or another. Sim

If you ever get involved in hiring people, you realise that there are people slipping through the cracks. I've come across freelancers or underemployed people making a fraction of what their skills should be earning them, and it seem

A set? Only US customers are unaffected, i.e. 96% of the planet would no longer be able to use AWS (or anything similar based in the US, all the way down to simple web hosting or e-mail services) without going through KYC. There are so many

It's really not benign as far as I can see. There is an implication that its purpose is to allow providers to start writing reports on foreign users training LLMs (which, incidentally, I'm not condoning either), but in the process

I'm not saying your comment is without merit, but regardless of how talented or analytical one is, language use is something of a subconscious process and it takes mental effort to consciously tailor it. Maybe not to the same degree as

I know the evidence is that plenty of people are totally happy with applications running in a browser -- Office Online, Google Sheets, etc. are compelling evidence -- but I strongly prefer dedicated and native applications for something I&#
