It is. They are also enshittifying Komoot and EventBrite. Also by default they acquire a company and fire all staff within the week. Fuck Bending Spoons.

Elon Musk, that talentless neonazi, is your hero?

Doesn't seem to work very well with flat strings it seems (or I suck at knotting).

I'd say it's just moved from books to influencers on social media. Still plenty of money in misleading vulnerable people.

C'mon, it's the oldest trick in MBA book: make a much-used service paid, make the free version of it terrible and you force people to get the paid service.

Ah yes, sustainable progress, like we're doing now?

Environmental analysis for operations? Not a fan of thinking in such terms.

Why not? It's about 60 000 London - New York City flights by the way (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2019/...). And what's the benefit again?

Why does a robot vacuum have a microphone? Voice control?

a hierarchical graph layout algorithm based on the Sugiyama framework, using Brandes-Köpf for node positioning.

I am sorry for being direct but you could have just kept it to the first part of that sentence. Everything after that just sounds like pretentious name dropping and adds nothing to your point.

But I fully agree, for complex problems that require insight, LLMs can waste your time with their sycophancy.

Sources dude...

How will people without Python knowledge know that the script is 100% correct? You can say "Well they shouldn't use it for mission critical stuff" or "Yeah that's not a use case, it could be useful for qualitative analysis" etc., but you bet they will use it for everything. People use ChatGPT as a search engine and a therapist, which tells us enough

It's humbling how well-rounded Brian (and other Youtubers such as Applied Science and StuffMadeHere, HuygensOptics) is on top of clearly being a skillful physicist: electronics, coding, manufacturing, ... and the guy is _young_ compared to the seasoned professionals I mentioned in the parentheses.

Also prison!!!

When did Zuck start caring about society?

Fucking Starlink.

I hate a lot of things about LaTeX (also wrote several theses in it, as well as research articles), but the math syntax definitely wasn't one of them. Why on earth would they change it?

write code

Doesn't that come down to allowing it to directly regurgitate training data? Surely it's seen dozens of such solutions.

Densely populated areas shouldn't have surface-area-inefficient cars as a main mode of transportation at all! Good public transport and the other 2-wheel modes should do just fine, but of course those aren't as profitable.

The thing needs a teacher, terrible technique! /s

This one's ruining the planet though. Most advertisements serve to make people buy stuff they don't need.

Moloco ads is a DSP network

A digital signal processing network? A bit annoying to introduce an acronym without defining it. Great article otherwise.

Windows in public areas (subway cars, elevators) that display advertisements or animations.

I would say this is even more distressing, they are literally trying to invade every damn steradian of your field of view. Soon you won't be able to look out of a train window without ads.

Nice that the author provides some context...

If only there were some other cheaper and more efficient mode of transportation that basically solves every single issue you mentioned. If only...

"Yeah okay Béla I get it you got absolute pitch, sheesh..."

There's an article under there? Couldn't see it due to a paywall and the cookie pop-ups...

IIUC - International Islamic University Chittagong?

"I'm a blacksmith and I expect every chef to be at least able to forge their own knife."

Uh, no? You are completely out of touch on other (non-programmer) people's backgrounds. They don't know what a kernel or even a terminal is. It's more than just copy-pasting commands from SE.

Oh those silly ground-based astronomers. Just give 'em a JWST so they stop yapping! Maybe you should tag along with the next Starship so I don't have to read garbage comments like this anymore.

Okay but here it still seems like it's just taking over snippets. It did not come up with the progression.
