Reading that article was a wild ride because internally I was like 'haha, stupid AI can't even find the light blue colored sea horse emoji' but then the author casually revealed that there is no seahorse emoji.
In a few years as image generation consistency improves, any video game artist can go from just creating characters for some other game dev to creating full-on animated sprites directly. Instead of having to depend on someone else to code their ideas, they can directly create that game. And the inverse will also be true, game devs can use AI to create generic arts for their game and work faster, create games that depends more on tech than art. Both flavors of games will bring something unique and doesn't invalidate the work of the other as useless.
The point isn't about comparing teaching and training. The point is about how humans use tool to improve and advance. It is more about comparing AI to books as an aggregate of knowledge. Just like how humans uses recorded writing in the form of books to analyze and adapt better ways of communication, humans can also use AI to be productive in fields that was previous out of their reach.
Imagine if writers complained that stuff they wrote were being used in literature classes that teaches people how to read and write because how sentences they once toiled over for hours would now be used in mundane letters.
AI can't take away an artists creativity, just like how photography didn't kill painting. Yes, it closes up certain avenues on how artists make money but it will most probably make up for that by making them more productive.
From their LTT video, it looked like they chose to do Desktop because of the AMD platform (and not the either way around, where they planned a desktop product and then chose AMD strix halo). Apparently setting up the manufacturing pipeline for laptops built on strix halo is expensive as of now and there are only two laptops in the whole market using it. So Frame.work choose to go the desktop route to save on cost while still making the platform available for everyone.
Yeah I was going to comment the same thing. A very big reason why we are even having this conversation about a browser engine powering native apps is because electron exists. Yes it's sub-optimal but that hasn't impeded its conquest in the slightest.
I am more surprised at how the general notion has shifted towards the idea that Next.js is the default starting option now. It just feels like such a drastic change to me, compared to even 2 or 3 years back (last when I paid enough attention to frontend stuff).
and who is funding them? how are they paying for their servers? a product can't be free, someone somewhere is paying for it. the main question is why are they paying for it.
So what's the AI part in this? (And I am not being snarky or condescending here, everyone assumes that's the default on internet. I have more or less missed the AI wave and just playing catchup.) Are you indexing LinkedIn API and feeding it to an algorithm? Or are you converting a natural language query to a database query using an LLM?
There are two things. First, a distributed exchange can be built around an AMM, so match making is essentially lazy because you are selling into and buying from an automated liquidity pool, instead of depending on market makers and matching orders. Second, there are order book based protocols that implement order matching as a decentralized consensus mechanism. So the blockchain itself can be a matching engine, provided that's what it's execution environment is built to do.
Underlying all the buzzwords, blockchains are about distributed communications with economic incentives attached to them and a more complex leader election mechanism. So there can be many things that can have the term blockchain slapped on them with a bit of tweaking.
A truly distributed exchange is a protocol and a protocol doesn't really need to make money though. Atleast not in the same way as an exchange needs to. It's only cost is R&D. The users of the protocol pays the fee for both execution and storage, so there is no cost on the exchange side. Ofcourse there is the cost of running a frontend or providing your powerusers easy access to trading data, but that could be a paid service.
yep pretty much. you will call someone but they won't solve the issue, rather just keep you pointing to someone else. ultimately they will just follow their own timeline. they are being built and managed by similar faceless corporations. their scale may not be massive in the same way of Meta/FB but their profit driven structure is not much different.
edit: not saying your point is wrong and people should ask these questions. just pointing that large corporations are treating their customers pretty much the same.
> how many people would knowingly buy a house if it came with an expectation that only one specific megacompany with pretty much nonexistant support could ever do repairs/rework/updates/changes to their house?
a solid chunk, most people that are buying any condos in bigger cities
I am in a similar age range and I am drifting towards this aesthetic. I think it's the counterculture of the increasingly sleek websites, with their overcomplicated 3D animations. Not saying either is better than the other, just it is the opposite end of the spectrum and way of still having fun when creating a website while making it feel personal.
Is there any co-relation between heat waves and the temperature during the winter months? Anecdotally, it just seems like we are caught between an ever-lengthening gap of higher temperatures during summer and lower temperatures during winter.
This provides a very narrow view of India. Anecdotally, I don't know anyone who has any Echo devices in their home. Nobody cares about Fire TV stick, everybody is doing fine with their setup box. Amazon lagging behind Flipkart is very real in numbers, for each of their big sales, Flipkart almost always outsells Amazon. And Flipkart for electronics is almost always better than Amazon. Amazon is miles ahead when it comes to price, but flipkart has them beat where it matters - price and serviceability.
Hmm I wonder if my buying habits are different but I have never browsed Amazon to check products. Anytime I want to buy something, I always have the exact brand/product in mind. Never felt the spam issue or Prime delivery issues either. Maybe it has become mostly concentrated in the cities? Agree on Flipkart customer support.
That's exactly engineering. A complex system seldom has a 100% success on first launch, all engineering products are incremental success. There are thousands of small factors that can deviate a live test from their theoretical assumptions. The fact that they have got past the first hurdle for a completely untested product is worthy of appreciation. Just a few years back, everyone would have unanimously applauded the launch. But now, people are letting their personal bias about the CEO cloud their judgement about the achievements of the engineers working on the product.
Is there nothing on 70% of the page with contents only on the left side? Just making sure, wondering if it is supposed to load some web editor with code examples because without it, it is a bit confusing what am I supposed to do.
While it's most probably true, I think putting all the blame on the greedy VCs seems to be ignoring an elephant in the room. When SVB made those investments in treasury bonds, everyone were busy pretending that inflation was 'transitory', from lowest to highest. The few voices warning about were considered to be overtly cautious. SVB's fall, while most probably just exposed existing faults in it's management, is also partly due to volatile policies. Ignoring that just makes it more likely we will see the same things happen again and again.
Calling something tulip mania is the lazy way out. Tulip Mania was very limited in scale and didn't really affect much. Comparing each and every new trend, either legitimate or not, to tulips is nothing more than buzzword pattern matching.
