Moncefmd··on OpenAI releases ChatGPT on your desktop for macOS
The product works pretty well and already feels more natural to use than the web UI of ChatGPT.

This landing page is a bit barebones for my taste though. I would've loved to know about what data gets locally processed, privacy assurance, and what gets sent to OpenAI. A lot of bad things can be implied from the two three sentences like: "Chat about email, screenshots, files, and anything on your screen."

For me (and the vast majority of people I know that did it) it was just to avoid going to a real barbershop.

Moncefmd··on Advice to read before buying a course from Udemy
I don't have the source, but I remember reading on Reddit that someone had his free programming YouTube tutorials series uploaded to udemy and behind a paywall.
Moncefmd··on Lyft says its revenue is growing nearly 3x faster than Uber’s
My experience is with the other end, I have been querying Uber drivers about their feelings about a possible upcoming entry of Lyft in my province's market. So far, on my small sample 10<n<15, it has been unanimous that they would adopt Lyft since they have a reputation among drivers of taking a smaller margin. Some of the drivers also told me that they plan to serve as drivers for both at the same time.
Moncefmd··on Bezos Says He’ll Spend ‘Amazon Lottery Winnings’ on Space Travel
From a technology point of view, one of the collateral benefits of space exploration is that the technology and science that will come from that effort can be used elsewhere.
Moncefmd··on Spotify Form F-1
The problem is that, according to your documentation, local music has to be on a desktop (the only way to listen to local music on mobile is to be connected to the same WiFi of a desktop that serves that music (!)). Which I think defeats the purpose of having your music on the go.
Moncefmd··on Russian photographer identifies strangers by using facial recognition app (2016)
One of the only reasonable defenses I know of (assuming that your picture is already stored in the attacker's db) is this https://cvdazzle.com/.

Except that it is just a showcase that a microservices in a microservices architecture can be language agnostic.
Moncefmd··on Artificial Intelligence, Poker, and Regret
Well written and very interesting. There is a small typo in your article (there is both positive regret and positive regret).
Moncefmd··on Scribble – Convert handwriting into digital text
Can you elaborate on how does it improve on traditional OCR? Other than that, pretty neat that it keeps (or even improves) on the existing formatting on the note.
