On mobile it doesn't seem to be possible to decrease power?

Yep, something happens immediately. Something different happens later.

I get that there are people who are into this stuff, but honestly, I can't think of a single use for myself, unless the movie watching experience is really, really good.

I'm never going to wear a thing like this in public, and at home, I have my laptop and TV. The TV I'm usually watching with someone else, and this is worse than the laptop...so what's my use case?

IMHO it should be long hold. Click to jump by a page towards the click location. Hold down to jump all the way there.

It's a super common writing and speech pattern.

Yes, I don't want to know what the tools are. What...is it? What's the goal? How is one meant to interact with it?

How does this work? I couldn't find an about page?

There's nothing AI about that sentence.

So many security breaches involve Linux in one way or another. Your argument doesn't really work.

Suing is not what you do when someone commits a crime against you. You're confusing civil law and criminal law.

You mean paleontologist. Finding new fossils is a tiny part of their work. Mostly it's analysing existing fossils, general research and teaching.

Well, it says you only get one prediction per week.

Why do you keep reporting them, when clearly that does nothing?

And since, as this article points out, Google does not need reports if they actually wanted to block such ads, it seems completely pointless.

There is no way to know if this has any substance behind it or not or is just some sort of marketing sign-up page

Yeah and for those of us who can't afford the "upscale" experiences, this sucks: our pleasantly diverse and human-crafted middle class lives replaced by the machine.

Yeah, and yet for a lot of people apparently this "garbage" is...good enough...so the human-crafted stuff can hardly compete.

I recently heard an anecdote about a family that finally found a podcast that they all enjoyed listening to on road trips...and only realised when they tried to find out more about the hosts that the whole thing was AI generated. Bam, another field of creative expression (and income!) destroyed.

It is devaluing it. Just like you can still paint, and you can still play a musical instrument, but these aren't skills the average person cares about very much anymore. But instead of a couple of skills like that being slowly displaced over decades or centuries, we're seeing dozens and dozens of occupations being rendered completely almost worthless within just a couple of years.

> The world is being handed an infinite creation machine that conjures entire worlds into existence, radically reshaping the future of the species and what our descendants will be able to do, and your reply is ~"they took our jobs!"

I didn't even mention anything about economic impacts, jobs, money. It's truer to say my reply is "they destroyed what it is to be human".

Does this really not bother you at all?

It's really depressing that I have gotten into music composition right when this is happening.

All of these projects are basically just destroying entire fields of human creativity.

It doesn't seem so bad at first when the quality is mediocre, but as soon as they get good, then any human composition will be completely devalued, despite the enormous amount of knowledge, skill and effort that goes into producing one.

A composer who writes a piece of music themselves, instead of being recognised and admired basically becomes the equivalent of someone who bakes their own sourdough instead of going to the supermarket: a curiosity, someone who does things the hard way for their own amusement.

Graphic artists and bloggers were the first to suffer this, but it feels like it's just going to happen to basically every type of creative expression that can be represented digitally. It's just a question of how many months until that happens.

But taxis already existed?

> tangential, but I don't understand why keeping your shoes on in your house is a thing.

I suspect it depends a lot on the climate, predominant style of housing etc. If you live in a nice climate and everyone has houses with backyards, you expect to be going in and out a lot all day. Very annoying to be constantly putting shoes on/off.

Personally, I just really don't care if the floor of my house is dirty. A thin smear of dog shit? If I can't smell it, I don't care. I'm not licking that floor. I'm not eating food off it. It's floor, it's basically in the same category as the ground outside: dirty.

I think of feet as dirty, so feet that go on the floor make the floor dirty.

The problem is it's kind of a question without a well defined answer. If it was just drawing a picture of a pelican, we can compare against real pelicans for accuracy. But what exactly is a pelican riding a bike supposed to look like? It's impossible, so liberties have to be taken somewhere.

Jesus. It's not the world's greatest game, but still. What a world we live in now.

Not sure if it's a rendering artefact, but the wheels are spinning backwards for me?

Also, 10 tooth sprocket with 22 tooth chainring? Not impossible, but so small!

Firefox has been my main browser for at least 10 years now.

Occasionally something doesn't work right and I use Chrome for that one thing.

It's nice to slightly reduce the totally overbearing presence of Google in my life.

I don't really see the Blender connection here? This just seems to be a component library leaning heavily on 3D effects and lighting?

The part that horrifies me about this is the disincentive to revise any part of the text due to the flow-on effects.

> GitHub has had 1125 incidents since March 2016. Over the last 3 months, they've averaged 24 incidents per month (↓ 5% vs prev 3mo).

Looks like they fixed it already

A lot like humans, really. People regularly cite something they read, or quote a stat that turns out to be just completely inaccurate. But if you look up the thing, then you have facts again.

Wow, that's a great write up.

I used to feel so smug about using Dvorak. Now it feels so outdated.
