SO responses were peer-reviewed code snippets or fixes. If something had 800 upvotes and comments outlining pros and cons, that is useful information. The bot gives you whatever it wants to give you, it could be information from a scientific paper or late night TV infomercial.

On the plus side, super low network latency to the people in the Philippines actually driving these driverless vehicles, it's a win!

A marketing company? ;)

> i struggle to find an equivalent industry that has been so all over the place and obtuse

No surprises, it's fundamentally built on promises and lies

Wow, you nailed it. "Government waste" and "red tape" are meaningless terms that people make up their own definition for.

It's the eating your own dog food.

The Open AI guy said it's now better than doctors (he said it, not me lol). He's replaced his doctor, right?

What about when it just flat out lies to you, how do you sort the right info from the wrong?

> recipes when cooking

I used it for a recipe, gave it a brilliant and detailed prompt, it told me to put 10x a particular spice and it ruined the dish.

> seek medical advice and results interpretation for my family

good luck

> repair electrical equipment

what can go wrong, really

Then you're testing how good someone is at exams as much as anything

You can sponsor a promotion; sales on a bunch of games - but it's not "Brought to you by the cool refreshing taste of Pepsi" it's like "Berlin Game Developers".

AI on top of crypto, <slaps roof> that ain't going nowhere.

GitHub lost me when Microsoft used my shitty code to train shitty AI without my permission.

Long time Linux user, but I got lazy into the Windows ecosystem for too many years. My son convinced me to move over and I haven't looked back. I haven't found a game that hasn't run, the worst I have to do is change Proton version. Ubuntu was good, but Nobara is amazing (ndivia 5000 series drivers out of the box).

Modern street lighting provides a way clearer view of the scene imo than the old sodium lighting. Maybe it's just brighter now.

A 29 minute 5K is not trivial

> high quality medical advice

I'll replace my doctor with AI immediately after the tech bros do

lol

Don't buy the shit. You don't need a smart doorbell or robot vacuum at a minimum.

It just means the phone is massively overpowered :)

I had wondered about the same for nicotine, being a neurostimulant.

> instead of feeling animated, these people feel drowsy, and they say that coffee makes them sleep

Sounds like ADHD to me

It's flipped, so you now get a little petrol 4 stroke engine powering the game console in your electric car.

>Why is everyone using Vercel and the likes anyway?

Because you literally connect to a git repo and your site is deployed, and scales with load. Compared to managing a VM, system and application packages, config, backups and then how do you scale that?

I have what is basically a demo running on Vercel free tier, there's no way I'm maintaining a VM for that lol.

If I had a serious site, same. If I had a team, then the equation would be different.

Why? Not everything is pure mathematics.

> I really don’t get the sense of urgency

Mind-boggling amount of investment needing a return or the promise of a return

Linux is insanely easy to use these days. So mature. Even for gaming, I haven't encountered a single game that hasn't run, and most of the time I don't even have to think of setting any compatibility stuff like wine version, it just runs like it was native.

Everyone thought boomers were bad. Gen Xers, tech bros: hold my beer

We only need a few minutes sun exposure in the Australian sun at a UV Index of 14 for vitamin D. 20 minutes to start burning. Maybe there's a happy medium between a bit of sun exposure and no sun exposure.

Vercel is both a SaSS for code hosting but extends the React ecosystem to solve some problems. For example, you can easily add an API in your frontend project, the API gets deployed to the backend and can securely use environment variables.

Actual backend -> vercel backend with api key -> front-end calls vercel backend

There are probably heaps of other benefits but that's the big one for me

100% agree. No direct developer job losses from AI. But if it makes you more efficient, there are indirect job losses. Still borderline as to how much nett efficiency it provides. I needed unit-tests pronto, it saved my bacon in crunch time. But then in scaffolding some code in a system I don't know, it's been nothing but trial and error, mostly error.

Show me a good Unreal Engine game? Supposedly it can be optimised to be decent but so many of these games don't even run properly on top end hardware.

Isn't this pretty much the main reason AI is being pushed so hard?
