Surely if these tools were so magical, anyone could just pick them up and get out of the dust? If anything, they're probably better off cause they haven't wasted all the time, effort and mon…

Wow only took them a decade, and not even all the execs involved have been punished. Plus the terms are pitiful, 4.5 years max in cozy German jails. This should've happened a long time ago, and w…

I was allowed to use calculators during my A-level Math/Physics/Chem exams, but knowing what to punch in was half the battle. Hell, they even give you most of the formulae on the very first …

My problem is that I want to avoid surgery at all costs, and the inspire only has a 10 year battery life after which they have to open you up again. Also the idea of having something implanted in me t…

CPAPs have a bad rep? I love mine (wearing it as I type this actually), and I'd say my girlfriend loves it more than I do since I no longer sound like I'm dying in my sleep and gasping for a…

This is just dotcom 2.0, except now people are throwing Billions into every single idiotic idea out there. There's fucking toothbrushes with "AI" functionality now.

It's a massive hype bubble unrivaled in scale by anything that has ever come before it, so all the AI providers have huge vested interests in making it seem like these systems are "sentien…

I feel that 3.7 is still the best. With 4, it keeps writing hundreds upon hundreds of lines, it'll invoke search for everything, it starts refactoring random lines unrelated to my question, it&#x…

The default "voice" (for lack of a better word) compared to 3.7 is infuriating. It reads like the biggest ass licker on the planet, and it also does crap like the below > So, `implements`…

And we also have a showcase from a day ago [1] of these magical autonomous AI agents failing miserably in the PRs unleashed on the dotnet codebase, where it kept reiterating it fixed tests it wrote th…
