I disagree with most comments that the brusque moderation is the cause of SO's problems

Questions asked on SO that got downvoted by the heavy handed moderation would have been answered by LLMs without any of the flak whatsoever.

Those who had downvoted other's questions on SO for not being good enough, must be asking a lot of such not good enough questions to an LLM today.

Sure, the SO system worked, but it was user hostile and I'm glad we all don't have to deal with it anymore.

I've seen every new OS update leading to M1 Air performance degrade, at this point I'm pretty convinced Apple is doing this intentionally.

Edit: Same experience with iPhone X

Edit2: I still remember the feeling when I got them initially - that Apple is on customer's side, but now I feel totally helpless and i'm being forced to upgrade

Let me direct you to the reddit AMA where people were literally begging to bring back 4o.

A weekly 1 hour call, where pair programming/ exploration of an on-going issue, technical idea would be enough to replace face to face time with seniors. This has been working great for us, at a multi billion dollar profitable public company thats been fully remote.

how did the pilot realize it was the cut-off switches?

The answer to this question is explained by a pilot in here https://youtu.be/00ooqCuRoU8?t=731

The pilots can hear engines spool down.

Ever thought about how there's a magnetic quality to mirrors that keeps us looking? I see GPT in a similar light, it functions as a mirror, reflecting aspects of our reality.

The article links to a forum post which kind of explains how engagement is maximised https://community.openai.com/t/uncovering-the-intent-behind-...

I too bought a 2020 MBA M1, it was great initially, but now seems like its getting throttled, same goes with my iPhoneX, I used to love Apple, but its just pathetic that they throttle older devices just to get users to upgrade.

If Adguard is able to work on MV3 why isn't uBlock able to ?

Please open source it.

Correlation is not causation. It feels more like smarter automation to me.

Time accelerates as one gets older is due to relativeness of perceived experience of duration.

1 year for a person who lived 50 years is relatively short(2%) compared to someone who lived for only 20 years (5%)

Instagram uses Python.

In the past, through various practices and substances

If you don't mind, could you mention what practices and substances are you referring to?

Too much weed makes me feel I'm dying.

You should try a strain with less THC and more CBD. More THC will lead to anxiety. The feeling that you're dying is quite common at high THC (for people who smoke rarely), but once you know how to "deal" with it, it opens up some experiences which are quite hard to put in words, but are quite enjoyable. A lot of it depends on the "set" and "setting". Without right setting (or music), I'm sure it would lead to racing thoughts and paranoid feelings.

Logistics companies rely on huge amounts of optimization and problem-solving.

Having worked at the largest tech based Logistics company in India, I can say, we did rely on optimization and problem-solving, but none of them involved AI, they were mathematical models and not black box.

I'd argue, its not impossible. There might be people who are able to manage everything, we just don't know.

If they are able to do this by creating the dataset just by scraping public social media web images, and having a facial recognition algorithm in place, whats stopping anyone else to do that ?

Why do they even do it in the first place?

We’d like to thank Google for sending us a report in which they explore both the ability to detect when web content is treated differently by tracking prevention and the bad things that are possible with such detection.

Its interesting that Google being an ad-tech company is doing something against their own interest.

I keep seeing this way too frequently - Amazon pushing everything towards a dystopian environment. These posts gets highly voted and then its as if we forget and move on let things be the way they were. Amazon has gained too much momentum and now its way too difficult to stop it.

Instagram app is essentially a browser to use IG's private "web" of content google has no access to.

Search engines are meant to index the open web. IG's public profiles are still being indexed by Google. Google is winning the data game from an ad-tech point of view but not loosing it.

installing ADS-B.

Can you tell me a bit more about it?

I wonder if there is a documentary with visual explanations. It would be amazing to watch and understand.

I recently saw a mind-bending documentary[0] titled "Timelapse of the future", there's a brief mention of Voyager, it shows what happens to the universe in the long run and how it ends.

but simply unverifiable or insufficiently notable

I presume the internet archive or wayback machine would have them saved?

Checkout compilerworks.com they work on exactly this problem.

that means that we can calculate your rent there to be between 30% to 48%. But I guess, just because it is in Switzerland, it should not be outrageous?

The article assumes that you would share the flat with others. Sharing with 2 others would mean effective rent is 800-1300 CHF.

the advent of self driving and electric cars will doom them regardless.

Fully autonomous self driving cars are decades away[0] - assuming 15-20 years that about 20% of one's lifetime, developing rail is only a few years effort.

I do not understand how electric cars would doom rail.

It's just fundamentally stupid and doesn't make sense. I give you my services in exchange for something of value of yours.

I never explicitly stated that I'd serve these companies by giving my data. Services cannot be assumed, why do you think there are such long Terms of Service. We as users should also have Terms of Service then.
