I'll preface this by saying the articles are of excellent quality, obviously well researched and to me an exemplary piece of research and journalism. With that being said, are we really supposed …

But a human reading !== A computer "reading". Why do people so easily and readily conflate the two? Is it just because it makes the AI hype sound more real, if you compare it 1:1 with a huma…

How do you expect anyone to help you if you don't know what to ask? You have to at least have a starting point, and that's usually more than enough on SO. stackoverflow.com/users/8…

I've literally never had a SO question deleted/downvoted/any of the other stuff. Just think of a genuinely good question and show you've done a modicum of research and people will …

Wow the Micro$oft backed megacorp whose entire business model relies on having unfettered access to infinite data says they should get that data for free and shouldn't have to credit the people t…

I think most of the people hyping it up are just thinking about the pure money-saving/generating side of it. You can automate away entire teams of people, imagine all the savings! You can generat…

> Any UI is worse than a good AI assistant that I can chat/talk to. Good lord no. Never. Not in a trillion years will I be okay with interacting with these data hoovering blackboxes rather tha…

Why do people keep using hello world as good examples of anything? I'm not a TS zealot at all, but my work project which is around 2000 TS/Vue files (some of them hundreds of lines long and …

At least on my Pixel 7, it doesn't actually charge it all the way if I plug it in at night. It will charge until 80%, then very slowly over the course of the night until my first alarm (of many, …

When it comes to something like drugs, there's no chance in hell I'm trusting what an AI is hallucinating (heh) back at me. If you're looking for reliable information and trying to prac…

Is it unfair if they're both scummy companies with infinitely deep pockets? Micro$oft just doesn't pay as much as Google does to make Google the default search, but knowing M$, they'd…

The only point of RTO is to make the C-suite and managers happy to be back in control, since the only thing that gets them going is the thought of their underlings being miserable. These sociopaths do…

> I basically work 20-30 hours a week! More like 15-20 for me personally, and it's usually around 5-10 hours of actual work if I'm forced to come to the office on the other hand! Also why…

My anecdotal experience is that whenever I'm in the office, 90% of the people there do nothing but chit-chat with each other, half the time with screens turned off. And no, it's not one of t…

Not willingly? Too many, I unfortunately have to work with Meta's horrifically terrible APIs and every time an issue crops up related to their APIs (nearly daily) I say a silent prayer for that c…

And we should feel bad for the largest corporations on earth... Why, exactly? These companies would sell you oxygen if the market was there for it, why on earth shouldn't we target these megalith…

So for the off chance that once in 6 months you have a conversation in person that "sparks something" everyone has to suffer commutes and all the other crap that comes with WFO? Yeah I'…

If my manager/boss told me I had to use some shitty headset from the cancerous entity that is Meta (ignoring that this also means that Meta will now have full body scans of people, as if that…

And once again the money hungry sociopaths are going to ruin a perfect platform that does exactly what it's supposed to and not an iota more on chase of that elusive "infinite" growth, …

Most people from What migrated over to what is now called REDacted. Unfortunately your window for account renewal is long passed, but the large majority of What is on there at this point, so worth goi…

Sounds like Apple, with their trillions of dollars and apparent focus on quality, should invest into figuring out an OS-level permissions system then, which I presume they already do have. The OS sh…

I've literally never had an infected Android device, and neither has any member of my family despite the existence of sideloading. Also, when's the last time anyone's installed a virus …

How would that be a bad thing? All that would mean is users get the best of both worlds, so yes please.

> It's not the government's role to step in and prevent those voluntary transactions IMO I'm a EU citizen and I'm more than happy that they're taking on Apple for this. Aft…

Yeah it's hell on android having to install all of these separate app stores.... Oh, except it isn't, 99.9% of these apps just exist on the Play Store. If you don't like them, just do…

I tend to drop the bot/shill-detector part of my brain when I'm on HN, but whenever this topic crops up it's always a deluge of people with the same exact arguments saying "ohh my …

I sadly have to use a Macbook for my dev job and I've literally never come across anything you're mentioning here, I can't see how any regular user would be coerced into disabling SIP

They should be given no options. The public has a right to know what these parasitic megacorps are doing, and kf revealing those things is damaging, well, good, let them rot and collapse in that case.

Some languages do make a distinction between the patrilineal and matrilineal grandparents, though I suppose having 2 of the same gender parent means you just use the pat/matrilineal of whatever …

I'd rather chew gravel every day for the rest of my life than be forced into the hell of wearing a headset so that I can have my useless morning standups in a virtual room rather than on a 2D scr…
