As impressive as this might seem let's think about fundamentals. Statistical models will output a compressed mishmash of what they were trained on. No matter how hard they try to cover that inherent basic reality, it is still there. No

"And what I think makes ChromeOS really powerful is Crostini, a full Linux VM that you can run inside ChromeOS".... This is akin to the person that uses their left hand to touch their right ear.... Both MacOS and Windows offer tha

This looks interesting but 4.2k stars for a js app that shows readily available LLMs is fishy..... I mean it's nothing ground breaking. I guess the AI bubble is real :)

Good stuff! As a c/c++ coder maintaining his game engine (for commercial and hobby purposes), this is always good to see!

That's not weird, that is just CNN. It's ironic that they posted this story as they're a huge contributor to the polarization of American citizens. For profit "news" media is just glorified gossiping channels.

I mean all the rainbow stuff is crippling our society from an objective perspective. If a war broke out, historically tried philosophies and objectively useful skills will take precedence. If you see how fragmented the younger generations

Hey! Same here! Moved teams in same company and I feel so alone it's crazy! Many engineers are introverted and/or already have relationships they've built before covid hit. No matter how hard a i try to connect through the c

It's a sad state of affairs indeed. It is is annoying that tax companies will be taxed so aggressively. There's a middle ground in a lot of things but it seems like Europe is becoming very antagonistic with aggressively taxing US

It baffles me how much the alcohol industry keeps pushing fake studies about the "benefits" of alcohol. As if ANY of those benefits can be obtained without the poison of alcohol. Oh well, people drinking.... social darwinism. Drin

These studies are annoying and just smell like envy by the most average parasites in this industry. How about you focus on adding value and setting the right price for yourself. Some are grateful with 100k and others 500k. You can negotiat

If this isn't fluff, then I don't know what is. The usual run of the mill, new byte sized words and overcomplicating simple concepts that most of us inherently do. Of course, the author is a consultant in corporate "well bein
