While I agree that this is scary, these responses show that ChatGPT can't yet see past its own training data. I find it more unsettling that it seems limited by ideas/philosophies/ideologies that humans have already thought o

This is in “I want to believe” territory for people that don’t like Musk. You, me and everyone in this thread knows this but Musk doesn’t?

I've subscribed to this line of thinking my whole life, and mostly still do, but I've had to reassess after watching/listening to the case of Andres Iniesta, a professional footballer who sought professional help in the Summe

Great timing with this post—I was literally just looking at general aviation airplanes from the 70s and noticed that they had ashtrays for the passengers! That is almost as bad as ashtrays at the doctors office.

Its funny how much having kids changes the equation. Back when I was single I borderline welcomed the apocalypse. Now thinking of a breakdown in civil society concerns me greatly.

Very nice site. I was clicking around trying to find a sample of your date-picker and noticed that the "Free Courses" link is not working properly. I believe it is treated as a relative link as it takes me to: https://w

This is like a sociological experiment where they show different people the same picture and ask "what do you see"? The results are heavily influenced by your previous perception of Elon. The results vary from "abuse and mode

Wow, this summarizes my natural sleep requirements too! I feel blessed that as a dev my job is flexible enough to accommodate it. This is stating the obvious, but this sleep requirement has become more critical with age. I remember being ab

Even after learning how to use hooks the concept never fully clicked. The concept of functional components (smart components and dumb components) clicked for me right away and I've always preferred this approach. I guess the React team

This was discussed shortly in: A Study of History by Arnold Toynbee Another anecdote that speaks to the sentiment of the beginning of the war is Britain’s initial deployment of troops. The troops were literally marching towards Germany with

There is a thought provoking book about how terrible the repercussions of WWI really were. The author claims the world was on the verge of a renaissance in technology, medicine, energy, music, trade, etc. The thought of a world war was inco

If keeping the "how to" videos off the internet is their survival strategy, they've already lost. IMO this is not a threat to Nintendo, and those who want to emulate will figure it out no matter how many YouTube videos get ta

I initially thought part of the appeal was offloading the workload to the front end, where your processing power scales infinitely with each user's device. Maybe the benefit turned out to be negligible, I'm not really sure. Can se

Nice thing about IMF is that you can keep your "nightowl" schedule. Using the more lax version of 16/8 (8 hour feeding window), you could use a feeding window of 2pm-10pm. I had a similar schedule back when I was a night owl

No, Unfortunately HBO MAX is not available on Gen3 Apple TV.

I mostly agree, but recently I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Apple TV app became available on my 2017 50" LG. I was able to remove my Gen 3 Apple TV box. The only app I use that is still not available is HBO Max. For that I

Once my family and I are vaccinated I assume we are protected and don't have much to worry about. Why should I care if someone else is not vaccinated? If everyone that wants the vaccine can get it, why does it matter if some people don

Thank you for this response. As a first generation immigrant from a third world country, I don't understand this phenomenon of lightly chastising anyone who doesn't attribute their success to privilege, as if afraid someone might

I've found this is to be a common sentiment from people who've lived in 3rd world countries especially during times of conflict. Anyone born in America, or any peaceful first world country would have a hard time understanding how

I agree that sometimes its okay to give another lib control of the DOM (D3 probably falls in this category). However in the context of the parent comment where haberman is wondering if Bootstrap could work directly with Vue (which it could)

by polished85 6y ago
While it’s possible to use direct DOM manipulation via refs, IMO this defeats the purpose of using a reactive lib like Vue or React. If you are using a lib like jQuery/D3 with Vue/React, you are basically just using Vue/React

I didn’t take the parent comment as “handwaving” anything. The comment was exploring the possibility that higher level company execs were involved, but there doesn’t seem to be any evidence to support this.

The freezing could be a heating issue. My 2015 MBP was doing the same, and the fans seemed to always be in high gear. I took the back plate off, cleaned the fans, and it performs like new again.
