> the standards we have for every other kind of automation go out the window for AI I think this sums up what I find most frustrating about all of this from the executive level. It feels like everything that was important just a few ye

> it's not as if they were going to hire anyone to do it So many of the comments here seem to be glancing over this point entirely!

Speaking of MS and source control, I have to shout out this incredibly niche channel [1] that recently covered "Microsoft Delta", a precursor and home grown effort that was eventually abandoned in favour of buying in what would be

Some of this has been mentioned so far but from my side I'd say the 5 minute timer yet very complex scenario is something that sets the "candidate" up to fail immediately, certainly if they're typing all this out. You&#x

This could actually be a useful tool - I regularly do loops of "critique this design" via AI and find it immensely useful, but you're being disingenuous if you're serious that you built this to address getting "hone

In these situations I will frame my contributions directly without the "we" part, speaking to how I contributed to a particular team output, or if it was 100%, I'll just say as much. My comment was in terms of general talk to

I've always used "we" when describing and presenting work done as part of a team, even if solo. There's a certain skill in knowing when to promote yourself, and how you do so. These days I tend to be positive in a group

It's not an answer to this, but tangentially related as we had a similar conversation at work very recently. Not many people know about Google and Apple's inactive account manager setup ( https://support.google.com/

I really loved how easy MacOS made these (option+hypen for en, with shift for em), so I used to use them all the time. I'm a bit miffed by good typography now being an AI smell.

That whole last section read like the constant dross I see posted on Linkedin. I find it hard to take anyone seriously that writes like that.

I really love the "Swiss Cheese model" for showing this in a very explicit way, it's easy to see how the most improbably thing could happen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model

> 2 hours commute daily? This seems crazy. This is the norm in many places of the world. I live in London and am lucky to only need to take one tube train into the office. It's still 1 hour each way - 10 mins to station, 5 mins wait

It's a very different world when you are a single person operation versus a multi-thousand consultancy though. I was being billed out at crazy rates that the same client wouldn't dream of paying me direct.

I had to laugh, these are literally the only three things my wife and I use ours for. At a stretch, I'll count the multi-room speaker sync as a great value add to the OOTB audio playback. Anything else, forget it.

This drives me absolutely nuts on Netflix too, perhaps more so.

The older I get the more this kind of commentary (the OP, not you!) is a total turn off. Systems evolve and there's usually, not always, a reason for why "things are the way they are" . It's typically arrogance to have

I originally read this as "No, code is dead..." and thought here we go. I agree with the sentiment in this, and seems to line up with my experience with friends and colleagues of various persuasions. Certainly for anything React

I'm relieved to know from reading this thread I'm not completely crazy. I have the same thing, a very, very short snippet just repeatedly "playing". I become very conscious of it at various moments and try to "chang

If you're interested in this sort of stuff I highly recommend Stillwell's "Mathematics and it's History" ( https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4419-6053-5 ) - it's a wonderful

This sounded a strange abstract way to define it, but you're right, in as much as Open AI and MS deciding this between them. I don't think they mean it in a general sense though, it's framed to me as a way of deciding if OAI

I had very similar sounding issues to the OP and thought it's probably something to do with a suboptimal SD card and/or overheating or memory. I also ended up using NextDNS and tbf really like it. Does a great job at a decent pric

This is such a great answer. You've given me flashbacks to many zoom meetings that started with "Can't we just...".

There's been weights on Civit.ai [1] for months, and I just assumed this was already done and a lost cause. When I asked ChatGPT/Dall-E for an image "... in the style of Herge" it didn't do a half bad job enough for

I was massively into Tintin as a kid in Ireland and when I met my Belgian wife she introduced me to this and I loved it. I was hoping I'd find it mentioned in here already!

Did something change with how the locations are managed? I tried to add myself and used the lookup for London, which then gave a lat/long as part of the address, like your examples. But then I noticed that I was all alone and the &quot

Obligatory shout out for the Techmoan Youtube channel, he loves these things and has had a bit of quest over the years [1] for new and interesting ones (and lesser alternatives). All of his latest ones come via a Ukrainian company, Millcloc

Mentions the $650mln they'll pay Just Eat for it, neglects the fact Just Eat paid $7.3bln. Quite the write down. And in just 4 years.
