What I don't understand is that on one hand we read 'what they charge is much less than it costs them' and on the other hand this thread seems to suggest that 'what they charge is more than it would cost me'.

Wouldn't be surprised if a dollar per entry already made a whole lot of difference.

I think that's the problem, or at least a problem, and a growing one.

Yeah I think this basically answers this entire sub-thread

And I bet the impact of your review work on their development into medior/senior goes towards 0. I recognize this discrepancy where review effort becomes more than the coding itself. I don't think I could sustain that for long.

I picked up miniature painting as a hobby around Christmas icm 3D printing with the idea of building a Christmas village from scratch. It's always fascinating what long and winded funnels every new hobby brings. In this case brushes, s

Especially given how fast things progress, timeline and performance are a tradeoff where I'd say swaying things in favour of the latter is not per definition net positive.

Totally agree if the AI or search results are a (relatively) direct answer to the question. But what if the AI is used to build up a(n otherwise) genuine human response, like: 'Perhaps the reason behind this is such-and-such, (a quick

What may be added is that some people have a hard time reading words by their 'total shape'. I can imagine that for them, the difference between pattern matching symbols and strings of letters is even more profound.

Comparable to what I read someone say about AI the other day: we're living in the small sliver of history where smart-glasses with cameras are technically feasible yet are still (kind of) detectable.

My mom has hearing aids, I only get all the technical info through her, so it's a bit blurry, but she complained about very unpleasant scratchy noises, for instance when my dad was watching videos on his iPad (for himself) elsewhere in

It's not just you. The generated stuff - in my opinion - doesn't make any sense at all, with regard to structure or meaning. Unless, perhaps, the aim was to generate some kind of badly designed Ikea store.

I used to be in (molecular biology) research. At some point my supervisors were already working towards a paper in their mind, while I was still doubting (the statistical significance of) my findings. In the end I left my Phd track before a

This reminds me of my interactions lately with ChatGPT where I gave into its repeated offer to draw me an electronics diagram. The result was absolute garbage. During the subsequent conversation it kept offering to include any new insights

I can understand how/that this works, but it still feels like a 'hack' to me. It still feels like the LLM's themselves are plateauing but the applications get better by running the LLM's deeper, longer, wider (and b

So Long, and Thanks for All the Krill

This nicely describes where we're at with LLM's as I see it: they are 'fancy' enough to be able to write code yet at the same time they can't be trusted to do stuff which can be solved with a simple hook. I feel tha

What inactions? Apart from creating safe conditions beforehand (but perhaps that is your point), once my kid is asleep there's not much more I can do? Most of that time I'm sleeping myself.

Theoretically that should swiftly be reflected in their trust level. But maybe I'm too optimistic. I have nothing intrinsically against people that 'will click absolutely anything for a free iPad' but I wouldn't mind rem

Interestingly, as I've begun to realise the ease by which a State's trust can sway has actually increased my believe that this should come from 'below'. I think a trust network between people (of different countries) can

Yeah building something like this is not a weekend project, getting enough traction for it to make sense is another orders of magnitude beyond that. I like the idea of one's trust to leverage that of those around them. This may make it

I'm sometimes thinking about account verification that requires work/effort over time, could be something fun even, so that it becomes a lot harder to verify a whole army of them. We don't need identification per se, just bei

I'm more and more convinced of an old idea that seems to become more relevant over time: to somehow form a network of trust between humans so that I know that your account is trusted by a person (you) that is trusted by a person (I don

The IDFV already supports tracking user across apps, as long as they are from the same vendor. It resets when apps from a vendor are removed from a device. Not sure if the user can reset it by themselves, but the vendor could then always ti

As a Western Europe based, peace loving, tolerant, introvert software dev I'm highly worried by what's happening in the world but at the same time feel totally powerless (I admit to be - for now - selfish enough to not be willing
