They won’t be able to. Open models exist and run on a Mac you can buy now or in October.

Well I wouldn’t trust Gemini with most things.

They ruined Minecraft in the same way. Microsoft login tied, emails, captchas, losing auth, losing purchases because it can’t tie auth to the system. Microsoft is a joke.

“Better”, maybe or maybe not. But there’s an underlying truth here. If you’ve ever LOOKED at the open source libs you use, some of them are very very rough. Going in to a project hoping to make a change and seeing no tests and spaghetti use

The change is exponential and happening daily. The future is smaller teams spending a lot of money on AI credits.

It’s a new form of development. The thing that the author didn’t state is that to work the code base at all, you must also use these tools and workflows. Manual edits literally aren’t possible. You can’t grok the code growth and the new pat

Is this an AI response?

by geraldwhen 3mo ago
This is so obviously incorrect that I have to wonder if it was an AI response.

There’s an app on the App Store that only has the purpose of YouTube without ads. Can’t get more layman.

There are currently multiple trivial ways for a layman to block all YouTube ads.

Residential proxies won’t get flagged and are easy to obtain, if expensive.

It seems clear that it was a money spending machine, not a money printing machine.

I’ve 100%’d Balatro and wheel of fortune is quite strong. It’s never worth taking before you’re at max interest though.

Business bros will not pay high salaries to maintain software. Software maintenance will always end in India with developers making $20/hr. Or less. AI makes it look like these developers can do the same job the Americans did building

Probably the opposite. Corrections happen quickly and all at once, somewhat similar to growth. It would be more surprising if the 30% drop was spread out over a month.

Expulsions don’t happen. International students have been cheating rampantly for decades. Universities are happy enough to collect their tuition.

Interviews have the same issues. But if you do anything more than read off templated questions like a robot, you can be accused of discrimination. It is a sad world we live in.

In the modern era, you are purchasing a diploma. I witnessed dozens of students blatantly cheat without any consequence. We all got the same degree. Colleges exist to collect tuition, especially from international students who pay more. Tea

Agreed. This is the only context in which I still use Google.

by geraldwhen 9mo ago
Google has no actual content left to find. It’s AI spam website after AI spam website. And if you find any content, it’s on a website riddled with ads. AI search has none of these issues. Google from 15 years ago was wildly superior to toda

I was unaware that my headphone experience as impaired in some way. I exclusively use non Apple headphones and I have no issues. I had AirPods for a while and I don’t remember them being better.

Diet is the food you eat. If you change the food you eat, you’ve changed your diet. Any attempt at a temporary food change is already a failure for long term health.

I suspect that CVE inflation has poisoned the minds of many developers. A db driver may have an issue with unsanitized user input when run against SQLite, but you only use it with oracle and sanitize input anyway, but that shows up as a 9.1

The unintended side effect of this is that HR coaches you to be as vague as possible in responses. I can’t give real feedback because some feedback may seem dissimilar to other feedback and look like discrimination if you blur your eyes. So

Seems to be. There’s little chance this was written by a human.

Many with trade offs. I recommend the pocketbook 4. You can disable recommendations easily, and the unit mounts as a disk so you can read and write books as if it were an SD card. No internet required. No sync software required. It’s quite

Nothing needs to get done. You are not your company. If they want to pay you to stare at the wall for 8 hours a day, that’s your job.

What’s the point of this? If you begin to think about how terrible RTO + sitting in a sea of 200 people is, you’ll drive yourself mad. The people in charge want you to idle chat more and churn out work less. Why fight it.
