These kinds of features are like solutions looking for problems. Is this a real problem people have, that they are getting everything done but they can't figure out what to do enough that they'll write out the whole thing to get suggested tasks?
it’s enough to just say that catchphrase and not even bother looking into it. The argument wins itself.
And that is why it's thought suppression.
People think this kind of logic is an example of thinking, but it's actually thought suppression.
Lol, when I read remote jobs, I was thinking this was going to email me queued sidekiq tasks as they were picked up. I need to take a break from the keyboard.
Similarly, the problem of calculating "Trending" https://smosa.com/adam/code-and-technology
I want to like ideas like this but it's been done before and rarely gains traction for most users.
We've seen this with smart notebooks that let you write with either a smart pen or a smart pad and immediately digitize and OCR. We also already have most of this today on our phones via built-in text scanning with OCR and the ability to easily copy and paste into any blogging application of your choosing.
I don't know if there's really enough efficiencies to be gained here, especially any that overcome the lock in required to use this product.
Yes, if you use copilot irresponsibly, you will end up with irresponsible code.
In other words they didn't roll their own.
Most of the arguments here boil down to the same belabored point, that you shouldn't expect Copilot to actually write the code for you at the end of the day.
My take is it's what you make of it. Copilot is only equivalent to copy-and-pasting from stack overflow if that's how you choose to field its suggestions.
As an example, I've enjoyed typing "const one_day_in_ms" and letting it finish it out with "1000 * 24 * 60 * 60". I already knew how to do that, but having GCP finish it for me and verifying on my own didn't make me feel stupider, it made me more efficient. I have more interesting problems to tackle.
On the other hand, another coder could have not known this calculation and thrown their trust into GCP. That's bad practice and it's on them, not on the tool.
Sometimes GCP gives me code that it learned from bad coding patterns. I know how GCP works and I know to look out for that, so I ignore those suggestions.
Of course, sometimes I don't know if what looks like a good idea from GCP is actually not. I take that on as my responsibility to trust but verify. If it's writing some function to slugify a string for a URL, I check it against what people are discussing online. Does it defeat the purpose of GCP in this case if I have to check it on my own? Probably, but it's only in these specific instances when I'm doing something I'm not familiar with.
Put another way, 2 of the 36 AI systems evaluated were more/as accurate than a single radiologist.
There's also https://www.kiwix.org/en/ which is great to take on long offline flights, browsing through wikipedia.
Why is this on HN?
Reminder that McAfee was a rapist and murderer who was never brought to answer to his crimes.
Well, It is an interactive GUI for one...
I was thinking of creating this very thing on several occasions being in an elevator. The logic of elevators is very intriguing and more complicated than people realize.
Is it just me or is this feature not showing up? When I put in my address, the little place card on the side doesn't show any controls to move through time.
Came here to recommend this approach. Lots of FE devs don't know about this.
Nice overview here too http://tutorials.jenkov.com/svg/use-element.html

Neat page but pages are not universally better than apps. Each serves a different use case. When done well, an app can enrich possibilities in ways a page simply cannot.
I was just thinking of this the other day, and how I wanted to try doing this without a database. Bravo!
What is improved by adding Git to PG?
Looks like a great tool, but $50/month is pretty steep especially when I'm the provider of the computing power. Can you explain the rationale behind this price?
"Free during open beta"
It's really quite simple. It's a reminder to be respectful to the individuals taking part in this on Google's side. Are you following now?
I agree that we're not getting the full story.
On the other hand, completely shutting down all their services without a quick conversation...
Agreed. It's a great design.
It is jQuery compatible.
Looks cool, but I'm not sure what the +/- buttons do, they seem to only move the globe sometimes and zoom in and out other times.
Currently zoomed too far in and can't zoom out.
