It was all personal use, just me, doing stuff for my business, I have no employees. If it's for your business, it's not personal...

I think the biggest difference is that children don't have mental barriers about those things. They just explore and learn, without any thoughts wasted about the usefulness, pressure or excuses not to learn.

I switched to linux a year ago and in that year had less problems than on Windows. I had some minor problems after updates once or twice. On Windows i had to boot into restore mode multiple times due to Windows Update screwing something up.

The reason it's free is not because they want you to have it for free. It's heavily subsidized limited trial period. The limits are still generous enough to be useful, but that might change when the need for profit gets bigger.

It has all the signs of LLM-generated text.

The problem is that it's too expensive. It can technically do parts of my job for me, but at a variable cost that's higher than mine right now.

Ah, that's interesting, i had no idea. Thanks. :D

On World 6-3, if i use i.e. d3j to delete the 3 lines it deletes the current line + the 3 below. Vim generally treats commands like that as "do this X times including the current line", so it should delete the current line and the

I think the reason to use and teach those keys first, is that they can be used in all the motions aswell. The arrow keys can´t and thus do not really make much sense in a vi context.

But those are obvious errors. What if the AI tells you to up your intake of X and it seems plausible? So you up your intake of X by taking some supplement, but upping the intake of X makes your body deplete more of Y and now you have a new

But for obvious cases like this, you don't need a second or first opinion. This case is about handing a 3D imaging result to a text predictor and hoping for a valid second opinion.

Nightmare because the AI is just generating a random text that fits the question.

Gamepass was never popular enough to justify the expenses and investments on the level they did. They just thought growth will forever be exponential until they have a billion subscribers.

I personally don't really understand the uproar here. Console games have been $80 for a while now. Most of them don't even let you play on release if you dare to just buy the "pleb-Edition" and want you to pay $120 to be

It will, but with the usual delay of 1+ year.

Those are the dark patterns. Give a player that is hesitant a good opportunity to place a pretty much guaranteed winning bet and try to get them to cross their threshold. Once crossed, it’s much harder not to cross it again for most people.

I think it's a valid analogy in some contexts. Like when talking to a person that is not aware of non-determinism and hallucinations. Which happens on this website very frequently. Many people here tell you to use AI like you use a cal

I worked for some large corps and they all had one thing in common. Tons of middle management that makes no decisions what so ever. Everytime you ask a question, they delegate, until you end up at person 1 again and they just can't dec

Would it be a human issue, if you type something into a calculator and the calculated result is wrong? Would anyone use a calculator confidently, if the result was randomly generated?

Because you can spend your 100 billion dollars spread over 10 years. If you build datacenters, you have to spend that money now. They're also not paying amazon to order GPUs, they're paying for compute usage of whatever hardware t

I don't think it is more desirable, the iPhone Air has reportedly sold way below expectations.

That's a bit like asking 'Why is Harry Potter not a middle aged white woman?'. Because writers of fiction don't have to write about themselves and readers of fiction don't always have to read about a depiction of th

It's not. This is how the free version of Outlook that comes with Windows displays ads.

I'd argue that this is much worse in a different way. Imagine the website the ad points to is malicious and manages to install or exploit something. Outlook happily displays and opens this without confirmation, as long as you pay them

Even worse is the back button. Scroll any store and click on an item on page 10 of infinity and then use the back button. Back to page 1 you go. That’s why I open everything in a new tab pretty much by default.

I just think there are far too many. Sometimes I just want to add a happy face and there are 500 variations. Then I find one which I think looks happy and hover over it for a second and the tooltip says “shivering anxious constipated”.

Since there is FinalCut and Logic Pro on iPad now, larger projects absolutely benefit from this.

Nice ChatGPT answer. Put some real thought and data in it too.

That's the point. It now gets rendered in Notepad. Before these changes Notepad was just able to edit plain text and not rendered markdown etc.
