Or they just find another way to show you did it - the idea is very similar to how law enforcement uses illegal spying. They simply find another way to prove what they already caught you doing - it’s called Parallel Reconstruction.

As someone forced to use MacOS Finder regular, and who hates Dolphin/Nautilus/etc, I agree with the OP on this one. I don't need tabs or breadcrumbs in my file explorer. I need clear, well defined data in the windows and a pa

These things were cool! I believe I had some drivers installed via some of them, and a Kubuntu livecd.

And even if a human didn’t catch it in one case, they will frequently. Giving AI access to the same tools humans use without any oversight mechanism just amplifies the harm and carelessness possible by one person.

MacBooks are only expensive when you need performance upgrades, the base models are really not that bad for what you get. But if you want to add a little more to your spec sheet, you might as well go somewhere else.

That’s not a refutation because this problem is not a logical problem, it is a scale problem. We can’t explain it because we distilled so many inputs into matrixes and transformed them over and over again. If we had all the time and computi

You know what, that’s fair. That’s a good solution. If it weren’t for the struggles of getting municipal infrastructure installed, I’d prefer it.

I would be interested in seeing your visual mockups of how such a solution works on one of the article’s examples, like a car.

Gotcha, I think I misunderstood the statement as saying today’s cloud-required will never be local-capable.

> Being a manager of software developers has always been a non-deterministic form of software engineering. Unless the manager is also a principal/architect, I don’t find this to be agreeable. It’s similar to saying that you are a no

Or more likely, if left alone for a while with no correction, it will reward hack by finding ways to satisfy the prompt quanta with hallucinated data.

I think it’s important to know your personal context levels. You noticed it because it’s happened to you occasionally. What about people who’ve been experiencing it most of their lives? To them, they are just tired all the time and don’t kn

> your sandbox performance would be probably be much better than the Wine performance. That’s hard to believe, given that many games run better under WINE than native Windows.

This is how all the big video game conventions do things to prevent it, it’s very effective.

Hey I have the same complaints about us developers adding new features that no one asked for to a product that already serves its purpose. I wish the industry could learn the art of leaving shit alone.

This is how they want you to use AI-powered apps. The more ambiguity there is between you and the end result, the likelier you are to keep paying them to avoid friction. The problem with AI products vs other rent-seeking is that AI is very

Every time I update my JetBrains IDEs, they obliterate my lovely, tool packed UI and replace it with what looks like a minimalistic iPad app. I have to reenable a “Classic UI” plugin to fix it. This is annoying enough, but if they did somet

There was a pretty bad one last summer - their IAM system got a bad update and it broke almost all GCP services for an hour or so, since every authenticated API call reaches out to IAM. It had lasting effects for us for a little over 3 hour

They might be conflating the valuation of these three companies with one of the recent analyses that the presumed valuation of the current “AI Economy” is an order of magnitude over the valuation of the total wealth of the world.

But those skeptics are initially responding to the constant AI hype claims that we are exponentially growing to AGI. So this article is in fact just a (very poorly thought through) attempt at saying “nuh uh, the hype might be true, you can’

"Exponentials all tend to become sigmoids but you can't predict exactly when" is a true statement, but I'm not sure it needed an article. This doesn't say much, and the author fights their own points a couple times,

I don’t even understand the point of making up tasks. Surely there’s some moonshot frustration project in your workday you could have an agent plugging away at, even if it’s unsuccessful.
