Re:Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @12:28PM (#50355079)
I'm guessing it's less about the AI in search and more about making sure kids are exposed to the larger Gemini ecosystem

why don't they have a focused writing model along with their coding focused models?

I've had multiple keyboard cases for iPads from Apple that didn't have trackpads built-in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Re:MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @02:21PM (#50278509)
Jobs died 15 years ago, and since then, Apple has been successfully selling iPads in vertical/laptop like configuration for nearly a decade.
There are prod issues, then there are issues that cost me money as a customer.

Then why are they hiring people?
Re:Why is AI generated language so hard to understand? on Saturday October 24, 2026 @03:43PM (#50224427)
Sometimes it doesn't, but it's tough to see because of the volume of what you have to wade through
So would it be better to not get one of these implants?
There's obviously some kind of quality floor, it's odd that folks are pretending otherwise.

Define soon? I'd put a lot of money on the current crop of OS's still being dominant in 10 years. Most folks don't care enough to switch let alone "vibe" their own replacement software.
> We can talk for ages about the quality of the robot's work, the maintainability of the resulting home

All of this stuff is so new, and we're supposed to hand wave away quality and maintainability?

We're on a forum filled with a lot of software engineers, and we might be too ready to believe this is coming for everyone's job, not only generating code.
Re:Redesigning Source Control at Anthropic on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @02:31PM (#50076385)
I’m personally more interested in their Antique review tool. Does anyone have any details on how it works and what it does?
Re:Redesigning Source Control at Anthropic on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @02:29PM (#50076353)
Anthropic says they don’t think Scion is worth a wide release.

> Practically speaking, it’s difficult to offer Scion in a form that would be broadly useful to other organizations. It diverges significantly from git, meaning companies would need to migrate every piece of the development lifecycle, and it requires its own code review, code search, and CI. Our internal versions of these components are highly bespoke, so they would be difficult for other organizations to adopt, and we worry that attempting to build a public version that tries to please everyone wouldn’t actually be very useful.

Re:AI is a tool and using it well takes skill on Monday October 12, 2026 @08:01PM (#50064767)
Silicon Valley tech, including LLM based AI, is extraordinary at manipulating the digital world. I don’t think we have the evidence that it can cross into and manipulate the physical world in the same way.
Re:Model Collapse Isn't New, nor Is It Specific to AI on Thursday October 08, 2026 @11:14PM (#50015550)
Pangram told me 89%.

In any event, I thought it was pretty readable, unlike most AI slop posts we’re subjected to these days.

It’s more humble
Re:Reasons to Dislike AI Coding on Thursday October 08, 2026 @09:58AM (#50005886)
What does practical mean to you?
Re:Reasons to Dislike AI Coding on Thursday October 08, 2026 @09:56AM (#50005856)
Yeah, but if you’re specifying things at that level, you’re probably not saving any time over just typing it yourself.

It says that memory is supply constrained?

Re:Will Open Source Survive the Agents That Replaced It? on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @08:45AM (#49800347)
Developers don’t even like to pay for their own code editors. Something they used to work in all day.
Re:AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible on Saturday September 19, 2026 @09:13AM (#49766337)
Yikes. The old posters had an austere beauty
a filling in of gaps in memory through the creation of false memories by an individual who is affected with a memory disorder (as Korsakoff syndrome) and is unaware that the fabricated memories are inaccurate and false

vs.

a sensory perception (such as a visual image or a sound) that occurs in the absence of an actual external stimulus and usually arises from neurological disturbance (such as that associated with delirium tremens, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, or narcolepsy) or in response to drugs (such as LSD or phencyclidine)

Re:AI is an elite crime spree on Friday September 18, 2026 @03:36PM (#49759115)
And the other two?
Re:AI is an elite crime spree on Friday September 18, 2026 @01:49PM (#49757807)
There are degrees. Bernie Madoff died in prison. AT&T was broken up. Microsoft was strictly regulated.
Re:AI is an elite crime spree on Friday September 18, 2026 @11:47AM (#49756117)
The law, as practiced in the United States, protects but does not bind elites, whereas the law binds but does not protect the lower classes.
Re:Everybody's Lost Their Minds on Thursday September 17, 2026 @07:21PM (#49748098)
In the U.S. we hardly had what you’d call “lockdowns”, more like government suggestions that you shouldn’t expose yourself or your loved ones to a potentially deadly virus. Restaurant goers, teachers, commuters, and others wanted to avoid sickness and death, so many organically avoided activities that would leave them exposed.
Re:De-Brainrot Vacations on Monday September 07, 2026 @12:36PM (#49600198)
Forties isn’t old. You might not have the energy reserves of a younger person, but you shouldn’t feel like your brain is mush.
Re:I Feel about AI on Sunday September 06, 2026 @01:34PM (#49588829)
Yeah, that conclusion was nonsense. Perhaps hedging so he doesn’t sound like a crank?
