Have you considered the possibility that other people have an inner life that is as deep as your own
documentation?
I think those mismatched expectations are a direct result of how Google has designed and promoted the feature, and it's even worse for people with less tech literacy.
> That makes a lot of sense in a world where we’re importing all our software from strangers. It makes less sense in the world we’re heading to, where most of the software we’re carving up fiefdoms for has the same…
What are the "simulated answers" for the public figures based on? They don't seem to be direct quotes, so I assume they're AI-generated in their voice from the sources? I'd make that more clear since you risk…
Not everyone has had such a positive experience... And anyway, whatever value AI provides doesn't put it beyond criticism.

I loved Scratch as a kid and got really deep into it. Not sure if I could call myself a "success story" but it did get me much more comfortable with programming! Before Scratch I think the two biggest barriers in my…
If it can't find an LSP binary, Eglot will prompt you to pick one, and tell you which one it was looking for. That seems reasonable to me. I wouldn't want Emacs to download and install random binaries on my system…
If all that the author was saying was "LLM weights are highly compressed encodings of knowledge", I wouldn't have any complaints. He is making much bolder claims than that. And if he was describing LLMs as "just another…
There's a lot of very strong claims made at the start of this article. (emphasis mine) > A Large Language Model (LLM) is like a small zip file that contains all human knowledge. > In a strange but real way the resulting…
I'm glad the JSDoc type syntax is still getting some focus. It's my favorite way to use typescript in my own projects. Some of the syntax changes will be annoying to update but most of them seem to be for the better.
Very cool. It's not the ideal environment but it's nice to have those tools available when you need it / are bored. Termux saved me on a few homework assignments in university.
Minus the policy restrictions, this has always been true for all LLMs in general.
My life has changed, but not necessarily for the better.
Yep. If it weren't for cheap / freely available tools (and their limitations) I wouldn't be where I am today. I think about this every time I make a tool of my own.
Microsoft has done their part too. Try using a modern Office 365 program and see how many clicks it takes to get to an actual file browser.
They were right about cars, to be fair
No mention in the README either. Sneaky
A lot of basic tweaks to windows behavior require those types of unstable hacks. The point is that developers or users who want to modify their system are forced into sketchy software.
Having spent a few years trying to write Windows utility software, it is really exhausting to be in an antagonistic relationship with Microsoft and have their updates constantly break your work. The article mentions…
The terms of those licenses are still relevant...
You may have turned this feature off (like I did) but by default Gmail sorts your emails into categories like Promotions, Social, Updates...
Does Debian Stable count? The page didn't include a download link, so I found it here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/96.0/linux-x86_... And yes, it runs perfectly fine on Debian 13.
Sounds like the iOS model: your app only exists as long as you are alive and able to pay $99/year. This mentality is a nightmare for software preservation.
