That's a decent article. My only issue is it seems heavily biased at the end, or at least he seems to misunderstand what the 'A.I. types in Silicon Valley' are doing. > Computers should adapt to people. Asking people to ma

They're talking about before it's configured by the user. It defaults to 'free' models so that the user can ask a question immediately on startup. Once you configure a provider, the default models aren't used.

Yeah, that's the point. Why did you think you needed to say it? It's a GUI that works over SSH. There is a very valid use case for that.

There's a reason for people to hate it... it's a tool used for something similar to genocide, only instead of killing the individuals (like they did in the past) it is used to reduce the population out of existence over time. To g

HN is so anti-Apple it's not funny. I've noticed if an argument makes Apple better, no matter how reasonable you are, you tend to get downvotes. Anyway, I agree with you. (There are two of us!) Apple's stuff is built to be ea

And? He also didn't say the camera on iPhones stays off when you're not using them. That must mean they're taking pictures of us and uploading them to Tim Cook's personal sex grotto for him to ogle us, right? I mean, he

As an aside, it's funny that both articles use the same stock image.

Granted, it's anecdotal, but I've personally seen university graduates that seemingly aren't capable of reading basic instructions or submitting a useful CV. Conversely, I've seen applicants with zero university who wowe

Ok... So, why would Apple receive the benefit of only exposing iMessage data in secret courts when Google, Facebook, and Microsoft all have to do it in open court documents?

I grew up saying it in Oklahoma. My wife (from Virginia) would always say, "It's BY accident, ON purpose." So just to mess with her I started saying, "ON accident, BY purpose", which sounds just as strange to my ear

https://www.reddit.com/gold I've paid for it, personally, and I know others who do. Yes, the ads are probably a larger portion of their income right now, but there's certainly an easy way to support them directly.

I 99% agree. The 1% is for sites that advertise other things on the same site, which means they aren't using an ad service, but instead building their own advertising. The BBC is particularly good at this. When I'm reading an art

I still think of the scene in Zoolander where he takes the flip phone out of his pocket and it is about as big around as thumb. It was comedic at the time because manufacturers were trying to make smaller and smaller phones to differentiate

Do Android TV, Fire TV, etc., have a multi-axis, touch remote with Siri (or any spoken) interface built in, and also include an SDK for building apps (including full-blown games) that are universal between the TV and phone/tablet? I me

Not totally... They only say you'll see 'fewer' ads. I'm in a similar boat... I'd like to set my monthly amount and that amount be split up among my most used sites, because I do want to support them, but I'm g

Actually, Austin has the per-bag fee as well. Source: I'm in Austin. I don't remember if it's $.25 or $.99, but I can honestly say that I tend not to notice it when I forget my bags... adding a few cents to a grocery bill of

Given that we still haven't achieved the paperless offices that many want, sometimes I start feeling like not much has changed over the last couple decades, but this album really illustrates the difference. It is rather humorous to loo
