“Before starting tasks, developers forecast that allowing AI will reduce completion time by 24%. After completing the study, developers estimate that allowing AI reduced completion time by 20%. Surprisingly, we find that allowing AI actually increases completion time by 19%--AI tooling slowed developers down.”

Half of the images on the iOS App Store have the Gemini watermark on them (and the Google Play Store link is busted). I would assume most people would think this was built with AI.

I think the issue here is what you’re defining as automation. I worked at a managed services provider automating any task that could be automated for over a decade, there will always be more work than can be automated. It just changes too fast for that not to be true, especially when dealing with thousands of different line of business applications and edge cases which are constantly updating.

I invested a few thousand dollars just before they hit a dollar each. I hoped they would hit $10. It still amazes me they ever hit $100.

Video was fun with time being 13:37, Linus giving the finger, etc... but the actual UX seems gross and over-sized (albeit not quite as bad as FireFox OS).
I'm sure they will have at least a couple dozen of installs.

Yes, and statements on their website like the following don't help:
"With Tenta Browser, your IP address and location is kept private and discreet."
A clear, published threat model would be great.

I noticed that the user-agent string still reveals my device type and build number. Searching the device type reveals that the device was only sold in the country I am in, defeating a lot of what this browser is supposed to be about.
Where is the privacy aspect when you're leaking my country, device type, and even what build of Android my phone is using to literally every website I visit?
Re:Ways to get motivated when you don’t feel like working
on Monday July 04, 2016 @11:25AM (#12031270)
Personally, I break things down into the tiniest possible steps and then feel guilty for being too lazy to do that and usually end up doing it.
Example with doing the dishes: - Stand up. - Walk towards sink. - etc...
I usually cannot justify being too lazy to stand up... or walk towards a sink... etc... if I leave it as one "large" task, I have a hundred excuses.
