Surprised this comment is so low, was searching for it. Many fruits that you commonly peel can even contain both waxes and pesticides to keep insects out. You aren’t even able to wash it effectively. Things like cantaloupes, oranges, etc ar

I know someone who pasted all their six sigma certification questions directly into an AI tool and they got a 98% on their exam. Seems like it would help their exam score too if they were allowed to use it on both the homework and exams &#x

Facebook marketplace driving me crazy lately. A lot of people post photos of antiques and other furniture with obvious AI staging. It’s hard to tell what is real and what isn’t. At least there I can just demand the normal photos. I know tha

A few thousands of years of skin bags dragging ourselves around a rock is practically nothing in the scope of the universe.

Or another take, life isn't all that special if we can make it this easily. We have always theorized the start of life but this could actively show that life could have started on a rock floating in space given enough time. No sky dadd

My name is Roman (father was Italian born in Rome and identifies as a Roman) and I always find it interesting that people try to speak something that sounds like Russian to me. Never thought about the fact they might think I’m Romanian and

I say it’s a simple value proposition. A few examples Audio book narration. Human narrators are paid a seemingly ridiculous amount of money to literally read a book out loud. We have the tech to replace them, it’s actually pretty dang good

I wonder if this will cannibalize their other more expensive product lines. I know some people and have recommended this to folks that would have purchased more expensive laptops otherwise. My grandpa never needed the macbook air he has con

The past 2 years in CA have been brutal for these invasive mosquitos. They bite all day and literally swarm around my house. It'll be 1pm on a hot day and they are all over. I know this isn't attainable for most of the world but s

Hey careful, I actually didn't say I do or have worked with React :) I think you get me now but I'm just merely stating the stickiness and trendiness of these architecture decisions. Some other people mention this but just because

I have never been able to pick the framework and libraries for my day job. I’m almost always working on something someone started years prior or bound to an organization that has strict choices. Personally I wouldn’t pick react :) React win

I'm not sure that's the lesson to learn from this outage. Hell Google resolved the problem in 7 minutes which is as good as you could hope for. The resulting action should be you have proper disaster recovery, failover, etc. Not s

Used to drive me insane living in NYC. Funny that Google Maps even highlights both Gold street in Brooklyn and the Gold street in the financial district if you do a search and zoom out. I wonder if that’s intentional or not.

I'm not sure what I believe is right but one thing I can think of is there could be a bias for a certain type of people to join branches of the military and therefore our capabilities are held back by that bias. The same goes for compa

Yea I'd argue even less. You can get a used android phone w/ shipping for $15 on ebay. A new android phone for $30! That's the price of one meal at a restaurant...

To be fair, Google does it too. I just had the product I work on renamed to Gemini Enterprise. Sure we use Gemini but it’s confusing because it’s not really an “enterprise” version of Gemini. It’s just a way to name drop what it uses under

I can't quite relate. Over the past few years I have been using facebook more and more. I use it almost solely for Marketplace and Groups. You can buy literally anything on marketplace for a fraction of the price new. You can sell thin

I’m not sure everyone would agree with that statement. As a more senior engineer at a big tech company, our execs still believe more code output is expected by level. Hell they even measure and rate you on lines of code deltas. I don’t agre

No clue but don’t some states require that you prove your age to view content? That would force you to share private information that could be leaked like this which is even more worrisome.

Yea I do think you make a lot of valid points about the tradeoffs of the advances. I think anything we do to progress humanity technologically will have negative outcomes on everything else. I think as humans make things better for ourselve

I'm mostly saying the hype is real on a lot of things today. Is it working perfectly for everything? Definitely not, but I'm of the opinion giving it another 10 years and it just might be. I'm amongst the many working to make

I feel like there is an absurd amount of negative rhetoric about how AI doesn't have any real world use cases in this comment thread. I do believe that the product leadership is shoehorning it into every nook and cranny of the world ri

I work for a big tech company that was already hiring a ton in Canada, I have to imagine this is going to add massive amounts of fuel to the flames. Are they just going to accept that offshoring is the next best alternative? And by offshori

Yea and if you look at all of the job openings they have right now, they are mostly in the “applied AI” space which is a very different thing from what they have been doing altogether. This is mostly generic enterprise development which is

I think it’s more like Open AI has the name to throw around and a lot of credibility but not products that are profitable. They are burning cash and need to show a curve that they can reach profitability. Getting 15 people with 15 ideas the

No, I donate a lot of money on top of the time I volunteer for free. Someone has to spend maybe an hour every few months to deposit a single check for $50. You got me on the rejection part because there are some benefits the members get (be
