LLMs aren’t reasoning. They can do some stuff okay, but they aren’t thinking

and the more people realize it, the better. which is why it’s good that a research like that from a reputable company makes headlines.

Windows games on Linux software and Apple hardware. what a time to be alive!

it’s the opposite, actually: she got harassed because she didn’t talk about it when talking about creating a bootable drive.

also, a few months ago, Veronica from the Veronica Explains Youtube channel got harassed by people in comments over not mentioning Ventoy when talking about creating a bootable ISO. freaking weird.

not very different from DuckDuckGo, SearXNG, or Kagi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_map#History

The mapping of transit systems was at first generally geographically accurate, but abstract route-maps of individual lines (usually displayed inside the carriages) can be traced back as early as 1908 (London’s District line), and certainly there are examples from European and American railroad cartography as early as the 1890s where geographical features have been removed and the routes of lines have been artificially straightened out. But it was George Dow of the London and North Eastern Railway who was the first to launch a diagrammatic representation of an entire rail transport network (in 1929); his work is seen by historians of the subject as being part of the inspiration for Harry Beck when he launched his iconic London Underground map in 1933.

After this pioneering work, many transit authorities worldwide imitated the diagrammatic look for their own networks, some while continuing to also publish hybrid versions that were geographically accurate.

that’s gonna brick it. it’s right there in its name.

people on the internet and their advice sometimes, ffs.

friendly reminder that LLMs don’t actually summarise anything https://ea.rna.nl/2024/05/27/when-chatgpt-summarises-it-actually-does-nothing-of-the-kind/

apparently so far the research disagrees with the productivity claims https://www.cio.com/article/3540579/devs-gaining-little-if-anything-from-ai-coding-assistants.html

Dan has mentioned some time ago that he was thinking about making the videos delete themselves after some time, but I’m not sure if he ever followed up with that.

the app in question was

1. on Apple App Store
2. for Vision Pro

so your alternatives might not be the best fit here.

reminded me of this one:

they haven’t owned it for that long yet

they acquired it in 2012.

not invisible, but the Surface Duo line was pretty much that.
