Definitely interesting. My guess it has to do with the level of hand-holding the users are doing. Ie. Full on vibing vs pair programming.

People should stop using these simplified high level programming languages with low cognitive weight, like Go. I only write assembly. ;)

'Engineer' is also a legally protected title in Canada, so 'developer' is the common term.

This is not really an 'email service' the average person can be expected to use..

Employees should not be able to sell their stock if their company decides to do layoffs? What is the rationale?

Agree. I use both windows and mac daily, and I don't think Mac is much better in terms of annoyances and bugs.

Failing with GCP? GCP has had accelerating growth the past few years, larger than the other two, and widening profit. I've used all three major clouds and overall I would choose GCP, particularly these days for their data/AI stack

Yea, and the scale of impact on the economy of those micro seconds is probably huge

I think a simpler explanation the some of the others is.. why care? Phones these days, even cheaper ones, have oodles of GB available. They're not losing customers from the size. And I don't think making it smaller is going to dra

Because it shows some thoughtfulness. 'I know you like x so here's money to spend on that'. Cash looks like you didn't bother.

learnxinyminutes.com is a good resource that tries to cover the key syntax/paradigms for each language, I find it a helpful starting point to skim.

I've been in ride shares where the driver has crossed a curb road divider or squeezed through tiny gaps in front of trucks. Going too slow sounds like a better 'bad' experience to me.

I'm not able to reproduce something like this. What prompt were you using? Asking it for today's top news gets it to use Google search and provide valid links.

You would go back to an old vulnerability infested OS that nobody builds for anymore instead of dealing with a UI change every few years? I have elderly parents on windows 11 and they've been fine, as long as the browser works, outloo

What issues do you face on windows? I use both Mac and windows daily and I can't say I entirely prefer one over the other, and in recent years I've run into more noticeable bugs on macOS (although it does look better)

Please share an example. Your 'almost completely useless' claim runs counter to any model benchmark you could choose.

> Ugh, google In my experience most authenticators cloud sync automatically, at least on iOS. For most people, this is a benefit. Otherwise, lose your phone and you're stuck, I doubt most people secure recovery codes properly either

What was the process for getting your account back?

Everyone was dumping on google when OpenAI first launched ChatGPT for playing it too safe and falling behind on cool new tech. Now everyone's upset LLMs are hallucinating and say they shouldn't launch things until proven safe.

by thebytefairy 1y ago
I think it depends what kind of system and attack we're talking about. For corporate environments this approach absolutely makes sense. But say in a user's personal pc where the LLM can act as them, they have permission to do many

Yes, in addition to the fact that big tech pays equity, and more senior people probably end up on green cards, so it skews junior.

They already deployed half-baked models (eg needing to disable news summaries because they were so bad), and haven't delivered on other aspects of apple intelligence. This is hard to call being cautious, this is them not being able to

The inability to export, as well as the lack of anything more than the bare basic formatting options (at least at the time a few years ago) pushed me off apple notes.

Google documentation states in multiple places that passkeys are supported in chrome Linux via google password manager. I haven't tried myself, are you saying that is incorrect?

A team taking the opportunity to engage directly with their users to understand their feedback so they can improve the product? So cringe.

Can you not use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to identify steps that had the highest compute time? I think most databases have some form of this.

Creating new standards is not easy, largely because everyone has to agree that they will use this particular one. Plastering it with endorsements attempts to show that there is consensus and give confidence in adoption. If they didn't

For what reasons? I've used both and never seen such a thing. In fact I'd argue the simplicity and collaboration features of Google Docs gives it an edge.
