Exactly, I think a lot of people aren't thinking about it this way, they're imagining a faster version of ChatGPT. In reality if it was a frontier model running a these speeds it would change so much about how we interact with computers. It would be custom hyper specific software on demand.

Looking for a lamp in a specific style?

"Make a VR application set inside my apartment (based on all the photos of my apartment from my photos directory) with all lamps under $100 that fit Scandinavian interiors and could be delivered to my house before Friday. Place the lamp on the dining room table, allow us to: cycle through lamps, change time of day, and interact with all the lamps and furniture".

Five seconds later and bam you have this new piece of software that you'll use once and then dispose of.

An exact opposite way around version would be more useful in my opinion, where the actual text content was garbled but displayed correctly for humans, eg: "JLKKP" is readable as "HELLO" for humans but the actual string is "JLKKP"

Surely there is a bigger use case of AI processing text rather than OCR? Yes it would be a pain to type, but that's easy enough to fix with a little application transposing typed characters to garbled

Same for me. Messing with browser scrolling is such a cardinal sin in web development

Why only focus on youngsters? Many of the older generations that I see online seem to have been impacted massively by social media in a negative way. Yes in theory adults should have freedom to choose, but when your app is the digital version of crack cocaine I think there should be some rules.

I think it's mostly due to mobile phones. Most people seem to spend a substantial amount of their free time staring at their phone screen rather than engaging with books or other forms of entertainment. Phones being bite sized entertainment orientated is probably changing the way people feel about longer forms.

I suspect this is just one of many checks like this

"I'm uncomfortable"

Should have read the terms and conditions

Why has this become a meme? Sure aircon is nice but there are also reasons why it's not common in some parts of Europe. Here in central Prague a lot of the buildings are historic and protected, so you can't just gouge out a section of the building to install an aircon. Also it's generally only hot enough for aircon maybe 2-4 weeks a year. I'm seeing more and more American's yapping about not having aircon in Europe. I assume they're mostly the kind that has never been to Europe

What about allowing people to synthesize dangerous virus protection?

It's a novel and fun idea! I also wonder how it would be represented correctly as a digital image, could be as an actual png or maybe the white/grey checker pattern from PhotoShop? Realistically probably just with a white background

My girlfriend and I were staying at her sisters apartment one Christmas (while the sister and her partner were away). They made homemade kombucha which gave the apartment an overpowering smell. You couldn't escape it anywhere in the apartment, particularly the kitchen. On the first night of arriving while lying in bed my girlfriend wanted to connect to the wifi but we didn't know the password. I guessed it first attempt, and yes it was kombucha

This reminds me of something similar I did as a teenager in the 90s. Also some shareware game, can't remember exactly what it was about (I think a submarine game?). The shareware version only gave access to the first map. After digging around the files I found that it included all the maps and simply renaming map n to map 1's file name allowed you to play it

Czech Republic didn't become Czechia, it's still called Czech Republic. Czechia is just the official English short name.

But why block the ui until then? Surely you can just not make any requests until the checks are complete?

eval is the major red flag here

How much impact does it realistically have on climate change? I would expect it to be relatively small compared to things like owning a car?

In a perfect world we would want to reduce emissions as much as possible in every facet of life, but in the real world I think we should pick battles that have the biggest impact.

Why do you quote only the end, the full sentence is: We cannot discard, for example, than an ant has a greater qualia level than

They're saying that since we don't know how to "measure consciousness" we can't be certain that an ant doesn't have more "consciousness" than us. Obviously it seems very unlikely, but we can't be certain

If the compound words all have single word entries in the dictionary that when combined mean the same thing what is the point?

Water: transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid

Boiling: having reached the boiling point

Boiling Water: transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid which has reached the boiling point

If Boiling Water had some other completely different meaning that has nothing to do with the individual words then sure, maybe, otherwise this is completely redundant and opinionated.

Here's an interesting post linked elsewhere in this thread https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horri...

Agree, this kind of complexity is there for a reason. I would rather have a complex component that handles all the cases within its usage in the codebase over having a bunch of little hacks/changes in the usage. It's far easier to maintain one complex component than many different usages of that component.

And you don't have to use such a complex component library if you don't need it. For small codebases it often is overkill. But for large codebases it's a massively worthwhile investment.

Love the presets! The Broucke one is my favourite

I like the idea of this, but why not just have some time per week/sprint for bugs? At my company we prioritise features, but we also take some bug tickets every sprint (sometimes loads of bug tickets if there aren't many new features ready for dev), and generally one engineer is on "prod support" which means tackling bugs as they get reported

What if the fall-back also never comes back up?

Public transport is often the fastest way to get around in some cities for some locations. I live in Prague and it's generally faster to take the metro or tram than drive. Obviously not in all cases, but the majority.

Walkable city doesn't mean you can't have a car, it means there are other (often faster) transport options and amenities within easy travel distance without a car. Children and elderly can still be transported by car.

I've been using it for many years, super simple way to have many email addresses deliver to a single gmail. The effort I'll spend migrating will be better spent setting up a non-Google alternative

Why would you think that? Leaving the EU was not a geographical event

I don't really see the point of making phones so thin when the camera sticks out as much as much as the phone is thick. I would rather have a flat phone that is thicker

I recently launched one of my small side projects. It's quick online multiple choice code tests aimed at recruiters to evaluate applicants: https://hashtagcode.io

The goal was to make a simple way for recruiters to create coding tests to screen people applying for jobs, and to make the process quick and easy for applicants. The default is a 15 minute multiple choice test across a few different domains.

I will eventually monetise it (when I have more free time) but for now it's free (1000 invites) so I can get feedback and improve it

The "MechaHitler" things is particularly obvious in my opinion, it aligns so closely to Musk's weird trying-to-be-funny thing that he does.

There's basically no way an LLM would come up with a name for itself that it consistently uses unless it's extensively referred to by that name in the training data (which is almost definitely not the case here for public data since I doubt anyone on Earth has ever referred to Grok as "MechaHitler" prior to now) or it's added in some kind of extra system prompt. The name seems very obviously intentional.
