This is a poorly translated article with a sensationalist headline. The only real facts here reflect the general trend seen in the last year where the tech job market is slightly cooling off.

This is not how these models work at all. They’re not just advanced copy-paste machines, just like you wouldn’t need to see a house made out of watermelon to imagine it.

I played Stadia, then Xbox live, then PC and the truth is it really depended on your geographical location and router. Almost all casual fps have some sort of auto aim built in, the ones that did not were unplayable but the ones that did were pretty good

Nothing really but besides it not working with typings too well it’s just quite uncommon. I love it personally but strictly use it on personal projects, this is really not something one should introduce to a project that multiple people are working on.

It’s really surprising how hard it is to customize Firefox considering its image. Wanna change a shortcut, tough luck. Wanna change the UI? Hope you’re a web developer. Wanna build a native app with it? We’re the only browser that no one is working with.

I completely agree with this. If you’re arguing against trickle-down economics you should know where people arguing for it are coming from and be able to phrase it in a manner that its proponents agree with.

This also happens to be one of the most (holistically) effective techniques irl when “debating” with someone.

Fair point that is useful, but the majority of people never steelman anything, a significant amount of people will even refuse to steelman anything on moral grounds. Strawmanning on the other hand…

The whole debate format has been broken forever. Improving people's ability to competitively argue for things they don't believe in seems a hilariously bad idea.

This stage seems like a marginal improvement, with the biggest con being that it's more anti-rationalist. Rationalism isn't a panacea, but one needs to master it in order to effectively argue post-modern critical theories.

Competitive debate has always sucked and apparently still sucks.

Super cool and I love that people are putting effort in this space, in 1-3 years language teachers might be a thing of the past.

I just tried this out (have tried some others as well) but currently the voice to text is just too finicky. My Spanish pronunciation is quite good, not great, but often the input just got completely messed up beyond recognition.

I don't know about you, but Uber has significantly improved ride-sharing for me, along with countless other aspects of life such as government services, interpersonal communication, and education.

It's a miracle I can live in another country than I was born, top income bracket due to a free internet education, effortlessly facetiming my parents whenever I want in amazing quality, learning and talking about all sorts of niche interests without any effort.

I think this is just all so obvious these days that you don't remember how much it used to suck, and that's a real testament to its greatness.

Maybe this is just my experience, but I've almost never seen a recipe book where the recipes are not accompanied by pictures of the result?

I commented[0] the same thing a little while ago here on HN and the comments convinced me that tales like this shouldn't be thrown around so casually.

As usual, news outlets can't help themselves insinuating the model _contains_ these images. I feel like this partially an honest mistake, partially because otherwise the conclusion would be obvious and the article boring.

Like the comment said, if it's cheap (time, effort, etc) to reliably verify the answer the success rate doesn't really matter.

We will disclose the bare minimum amount that we can get away with, plus things that would end up biting us in the ass if we didn’t.

There are university master degrees for UI/UX in the states? Can you get a PhD in something UI/UX related as well?

Apple contributing to an open standard here must mean they've got ambitions to go portless with the iphones.

With wireless-only charging, prevalence and compatibility is more important than exclusivity and using it as an USP which they usually seem to prefer.

I can only imagine most people upvoting this to the #1 spot on HN haven't actually read the article.

It's filled from top to bottom with all sorts of weird arguments and logic that make little sense.

> The problem is we are still under the illusion, as a general principle, that more always adds value. --- He said the pursuit of height made sense in a capitalistic society. “Everything is big,” he said, “the buildings, the businesses,” and went on to explain that parents reflect the mind-set that bigger is better when envisioning their offspring.

The pursuit of height makes sense in any society, being on the taller end of the spectrum (or at least the middle) has enormous advantages for an individual. However, here's the counter-argument from the article:

> “There are some short people who thrive and do phenomenally well and lead fantastic lives, and there are some tall people who are miserable,”

If I had to paste every sketchy paragraph from the article here I'd literally have copy over almost the entire thing, I'm not being hyperbolic here.

Please read the article.

It's not as bad as you'd expect but still a bit bad. Especially around topics that the liberal left is passionate about you'll get very snarky and aggressive responses. Also somehow slang sets it off.

To get more useful answers you can just prefix your questions by: "What is generally regarded as ...".

Overall I'd say they did a pretty good job, the model doesn't have an objective understanding of the world so it can only go by other's observations and opinions. It might be aggressive when it comes to anything that has to do with sex(ism), race(ism), class(ism), etc but it will never tell you that the earth is flat or that the US elections are rigged.

I hope the other Dutch people in this thread are laughing their asses of as well. Otherwise, really cool product!

This is exactly that attitude. It's both awesome that I can facetime my dying grandma in HD and Apple is deliberately non-conforming with it's messages and charging port behavior. Tech isn't bad per se. Some things are super dangerous. Some things are literally awesome.

This is so quintessentially Paypal, were they upfront about their services, they'd put this testimonial on their home page.

These keep popping up again and again but are "generally" a terrible idea. At some point you'll need something that you imagined would for sure have an HTML tag and then the misery begins.

Are they providing the data they use anywhere? Are they just expecting that all Russian nukes will actually make it to the US?

The US has been somewhat open about the immense difficulty of keeping it's nuclear arsenal working reliably and has demonstrated at least some capability to intercept nuclear payloads.

Russian state of it's arsenal is likely going to be worse and the actual ability of the US to intercept is likely going to be better.

I used to love this guy's videos but he has really gone of the rails

It's pretty easy to not "ban you and steal your money" when you're not required/able to prevent people from laundering money/evading taxes.

I never really got this reasoning.

How can you honestly be “best of the best” but be dumb enough to ignore remote work. Something you almost actively have to be doing these days and which, for this hypothetical person, has an insane payoff.

This person is supposedly both super smart but at the same time can’t even see the fruit that’s so low-hanging that it’s literally smacking him in the face.

I'm a Dutch person living in Spain and my British accent can make it super difficult for some Spaniards to understand me. I tend to have a lot of trouble understanding Greek English.

This article lacks so much perspective, Europe is filled with white people having trouble understanding each others English.

It's not that weird that once you start jumping continents this effect simply gets stronger.

I get the craziest recommendations from the YT algo. Some vinyl-only release a dude ripped with 687 views, 2 comments, and impossible to buy anywhere.

I would never be able to find that stuff on my own.

This type of canned response is so repulsive, I imagine the only reason why it might be a good idea to send things like this is because it's less offensive than nothing and just as expensive.
