It's absolutely annoying and makes me think less of businesses that ask. However, I just say "no" and they drop the issue. It's not that big of a deal, it's just another in the growing list of annoying things about…
If that's the price of a crime-free society, then I don't want a crime-free society. Although I don't think that's the choice anyway. A crime-free society will simply not happen.
I never give donations at checkout. I do my charitable giving directly, I don't want a middleman. What makes me less likely to return is the number of questions I get when I'm just trying to engage in a simple exchange…
Since "justice" doesn't appear to be the priority anymore and Trump loves to rename stuff, he should rename it to the "Department of Retribution".
Saying that people who don't share your opinion are "selfish" is a personal attack. You're attacking the person's character rather than their position. You aren't even actually making a case (or bothering to explain)…
How many of those postings are real, though?
Wool is indispensable, in my opinion. But you still want some sort of shell to maximize water shedding. What I've settled on after years of experimentation (not saying it's the best, but the best for me so far) is wool…
I didn't start, and wasn't, debating the future of the tech at all. My point is simple: nobody can know with certainty what the future of the tech will look like or how it will end up being used. Everybody is…
Different level of "liable". Yes, you are, in the end, responsible for your own taxes the filings. If a mistake was made and you owe additional taxes, you have to pay them as well as any penalties, etc. But if you used…
Huh? Who said anything about LLMs going away?
I know several people who live doing things like this. There are some things they all have in common that are interesting. The main thing they all have in common is that none of them have a single source of income.…

Hmm. If that's the reason, that's very disconcerting. I moved all of my websites behind a login prompt because I couldn't find any realistic way to defend them from genAI bots. I keep hoping that some solution will come…
This isn't software. I needed to develop a mechanism to handle playing cards in an accurate and detailed way. After some testing of the minimum implementation, it became clear that the mechanism I had imagined was…
I have abandoned ideas during the investigatory phase because it turned out they weren't feasible, but I don't think that counts. The whole purpose of the investigatory phase is to determine if the idea is feasible.…
> Maybe they are using the prompts and responses for training doesn't want these to influence future model behavior? This is my assumption. I can't think of any other sensible explanation.
For me, personally, yes genAI absolutely removes most of what makes software development fun and satisfying. It automates the fun stuff and increases the amount of work that is the opposite of fun. It makes the job suck.
That would be awesome. To this day, every time I have to use an on-screen keyboard, I dearly miss the days when phones had physical ones.
I wouldn't trust any genAI system (that is available to me, anyway) to go anywhere near critical things, or anywhere near very personal information such as finances or health. I know I'm far from the only one who feels…
This could be great for people like me. I won't buy a car that's too new because I don't want a "connected car". But if the cell deprecation means that there's a bunch of cars that are physically unable to connect, and…
Technically true, but unlikely to be a real issue unless you're presenting the ID to a police officer or other official that legally requires it. If it's a sticker, then it's easy to remove it prior to presenting the…
If you're in the US, you can skip the registration. The warranty applies even if you don't register it. They try to convince you to "register" so they can fill out their marketing database.
They could just print out their own menus instead of having them professionally printed. Then they can cheaply change the menus any time they like. I've seen a number of restaurants (including high-end ones) do this,…
You don't have to use Google Messages. There are several other options available. I use and like Textra, but don't know if it's the best option.
> I always find it funny how people insist Google is getting worse despite no evidence that this is the case. I suspect that, like me, people claiming Google has become worse have the only evidence that really counts:…
