I had to settle for a phone with no headphone jack. I thought it can't be that bad, I got a usbc adapter. It's a strictly worse experience: - It disconnects easily - It's much more unco…

>(And that's not even discussing penal slavery allowed under the 13th Amendment.) To expand on this, knowingbetter did an in-depth video on this topic[0]. The salient bit is that penal slavery…

hah, when I read that part, I immediately thought of C++. But I guess all the bigcorp languages suffer from that same issue.

Some nasal sprays have salt in them in addition to whatever drug they have, which unblocks the nose immediately but is extremely addictive. The ones that have just the drug don't have this issu…

Incomplete. The article also discusses the new AI search feature (not the AI box), which eschews links to the web completely

But a priori you don't know if the code you find on Github is "good", plus it doesn't come with a handy explanation. The quality of the data is much, much worse.

My point is that there won't even be any data to steal! The novel human-written and human-rated answers just won't exist anymore. Where will it get its answers on C++26 features from? Not th…

> But now ChatGPT does that in minutes But it's trained on stackoverflow data? What happens in a few years when the data gets more and more outdated? Where will it get its knowledge then?

Can the rest of the world just absorb the ridiculously high levels of consumption of the US market?

That's why I said it's an argument by induction. Where's the limit for it to be different? 10 images? 100? 10000? Where does it stop being copyright infringement and why? Many people ha…
