Reading that article was a wild ride because internally I was like 'haha, stupid AI can't even find the light blue colored sea horse emoji' but then the author casually revealed that there is no seahorse emoji.

In a few years as image generation consistency improves, any video game artist can go from just creating characters for some other game dev to creating full-on animated sprites directly. Instead of having to depend on someone else to code t

The point isn't about comparing teaching and training. The point is about how humans use tool to improve and advance. It is more about comparing AI to books as an aggregate of knowledge. Just like how humans uses recorded writing in th

Is this using OpenAI's GPT-image or something different?

Imagine if writers complained that stuff they wrote were being used in literature classes that teaches people how to read and write because how sentences they once toiled over for hours would now be used in mundane letters. AI can't ta

From their LTT video, it looked like they chose to do Desktop because of the AMD platform (and not the either way around, where they planned a desktop product and then chose AMD strix halo). Apparently setting up the manufacturing pipeline

To be honest, a distributed logic execution engine is an interesting tech, it just isn't something to build any high value economy on top of.

Yeah I was going to comment the same thing. A very big reason why we are even having this conversation about a browser engine powering native apps is because electron exists. Yes it's sub-optimal but that hasn't impeded its conque

I am more surprised at how the general notion has shifted towards the idea that Next.js is the default starting option now. It just feels like such a drastic change to me, compared to even 2 or 3 years back (last when I paid enough attentio

and who is funding them? how are they paying for their servers? a product can't be free, someone somewhere is paying for it. the main question is why are they paying for it.

So what's the AI part in this? (And I am not being snarky or condescending here, everyone assumes that's the default on internet. I have more or less missed the AI wave and just playing catchup.) Are you indexing LinkedIn API and

You could already use functional components before. The main issue with React now is all these hooks and effects.

That also begs the question how much of that value is substantial and how much of that is just narrative froth from speculation.

Didn't they cancel Counterpart? I watched the first season but never watched the second one when I learnt that it was canceled.

There are two things. First, a distributed exchange can be built around an AMM, so match making is essentially lazy because you are selling into and buying from an automated liquidity pool, instead of depending on market makers and matching

A truly distributed exchange is a protocol and a protocol doesn't really need to make money though. Atleast not in the same way as an exchange needs to. It's only cost is R&D. The users of the protocol pays the fee for both ex

yep pretty much. you will call someone but they won't solve the issue, rather just keep you pointing to someone else. ultimately they will just follow their own timeline. they are being built and managed by similar faceless corporation

I thought c2.com was in the middle of a redesign. Is it actually gone or just a technical glitch?

I am in a similar age range and I am drifting towards this aesthetic. I think it's the counterculture of the increasingly sleek websites, with their overcomplicated 3D animations. Not saying either is better than the other, just it is

Is there any co-relation between heat waves and the temperature during the winter months? Anecdotally, it just seems like we are caught between an ever-lengthening gap of higher temperatures during summer and lower temperatures during winte

This provides a very narrow view of India. Anecdotally, I don't know anyone who has any Echo devices in their home. Nobody cares about Fire TV stick, everybody is doing fine with their setup box. Amazon lagging behind Flipkart is very

Hmm I wonder if my buying habits are different but I have never browsed Amazon to check products. Anytime I want to buy something, I always have the exact brand/product in mind. Never felt the spam issue or Prime delivery issues either

That's exactly engineering. A complex system seldom has a 100% success on first launch, all engineering products are incremental success. There are thousands of small factors that can deviate a live test from their theoretical assumpti

Is there nothing on 70% of the page with contents only on the left side? Just making sure, wondering if it is supposed to load some web editor with code examples because without it, it is a bit confusing what am I supposed to do.

While it's most probably true, I think putting all the blame on the greedy VCs seems to be ignoring an elephant in the room. When SVB made those investments in treasury bonds, everyone were busy pretending that inflation was 'tran

Calling something tulip mania is the lazy way out. Tulip Mania was very limited in scale and didn't really affect much. Comparing each and every new trend, either legitimate or not, to tulips is nothing more than buzzword pattern match

Quite a few poets also need to re-examine their works. Robert Frost especially comes to mind.
