Your assumptions seems to be that there is a limit to what is knowable. Picture a spotlight shining down on an infinite field. The surface which is lit up by the spotlight represents our collective knowledge about reality, and the further u

The quarterly earnings statement says something about, well, earnings. And earnings need not be directly linked to search traffic since Google has several revenue streams, also from other products and from selling data "wholesale.&quot

I think it's safe to say that Google has had a prominent position, and that they have indeed abused that position to gain an unfair market advantage over other companies due to ad placement and strategic cooperations. I'm sure Goo

Got Tinnitus from working as a concert photographer. It's not so bad. I've learned to live with it. But yeah... It's permanent. So, to not make it worse, I've bought protection that I carry with me when I go to loud club

Part of this is the ever increasing amount of tags and elements in HTML files. Instead of being a document markup, it's a page markup, and it's difficult to discern where one stops and the other begins, although the W3C has tried

EVE Online has the nickname "Spreadsheets in Space" for a reason, though. There are many aspects of the game where you don't need a spreadsheet, so you're not forced to play this part of the game. However, if you want to

Plan 9? Is this a reference to the cult movie Plan 9 From Outer Space? Edit: Oh, it looks like it is indeed!^[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs

That's a big “depends.” We can assume that Google employs ML too, and that it will tailor its output to the particular user. Thus, your output might not be the same as mine. With that said, I think it's a positive development that

The mere mention of its name sends chills down my spine. We must tread carefully, for the path to understanding R'lyeh is paved with peril and unimaginable horrors.

> Can you give some examples of how ChatGPT “does better” than a human searching for something and then using their own cognition to make sense of it? Certainly! ChatGPT outperforms human search and cognitive processing in several ways.

AFAIK you have to be 18 years old to apply to Apple's iOS developer program. This is a huge problem within teaching. Please do tell me if there are legal ways around this.

In a lot of applications, there is no need to signal readiness. You can simply start processing the input at once, and display it continuously, from the first character or number that is entered. This is true for most applications that run

You certainly should because you're building the company that way.

Sorry, I can't remember. They suddenly lowered the amount of clients a few years ago. This locked me out of my e-mail client. Since 2FA updates were sent to my e-mail it lead to a bit of tail-biting. Pretty much the same problem can ha

Perhaps this is tangential, but I'm always amazed with input forms have a "Go" or "Send" button when it's supposed to do some on-the-fly or local computation or treatment of the input. So, why wait? Why force t

When I was headhunted for my current job, I asked him how he found me. The agent then told me that they had an AI system for finding and comparing candidates. He then reassured me that I was well qualified for the job he was pitching to me.

Here in Norway, we call the moose for “elg.” Same in Sweden. Well, almost the same. They call it “älg”. It's very similar to the English word elk, but it means moose, though elk is of course also in the deer family. While the Norther

Do you honestly think two honeypot agents would ever admit that they gained anything from the case? It's like saying that politicians don't gain anything from doing politics, and then they're suddenly offered cushy jobs after
