While I agree with this, and I'm not defending skirting regulations, before rideshare apps, taking taxis was an awful experience. At least half the time, if you try to pay with a credit card, the machine was "broken", if you wanted to get a ride at a specific time you had to call ahead and hope that a taxi would show up.
Rideshsre apps forced regular taxis to up their game and provide better service, some did and now have their own apps.
Agreed. They have steadily added new features that don't bloat the experience. It's just a little too constrained for my tastes, but the rest of the Polish makes up for it.
Same here. It's very smooth. I wish there were a few other customization points, I'd rather use my own weather app than the built in one, and I do, but then end up with different forecasts as they use different sources.
Minor complaints, but still a little friction that could be solved.
I mostly agree. It won't replace people directly, but it might let companies do more with fewer developers.
Not to say they don't need anyone, but maybe they get by with 75 instead of 100 developers? Hard to say where that falls because the outcomes if ai usage are so variable based on skill of operator and the target codebase.
To be fair, they did build a customised rig to aim, using real mirrors to simulate a perfect case scenario, and still failed. While they did mention those issues, they did try to replicate the results pretty faithfully IMO.
While you are absolutely correct, it's the fact that most people don't make this choice and it has shifted societal expectations.
I encourage everyone to disconnect as much as possible. Enjoy the wonderful things technology offers us, and equally enjoy breaking free from the chains it introduces.
I use this system, as well as shopping the perimeter of the grocery store, in my area the outter edges of the store are either fresh produce or refrigerated meat, eggs, dairy.
Anything that's down one of the many rows in the middle of the store is likely ultra processed to be shelf stable without refrigeration.
Good tip on prepping the drain pipe traps, that should help. I'm sure there are better options if you have the right tools but as a stopgap solution, it would help lower the freezing point and gives you better odds of not coming back to a cracked pipe.
There's value in brevity and clarity, I took two paragraphs and the other was two words. I don't like it either, but it does seem to be the way most people talk.
Let's be generous for a moment and assume good intent, how else would you describe the situation where the llm doesn't consider a negative response to its actions due to its training and context being limited?
Sure it gives the llm a more human like persona, but so far I've yet to read a better way to describing its behaviour, it is designed to emulate human behavior so using human descriptors helps convey the intent.
Non developers and non technical people that are already accustomed to bad software, basically following the broken window problem combined with lack of knowledge to do better.
I'm not saying I agree, and I hope saner heads prevail, but I can definitely see the future trending this direction not because it's best but because it's easier and maybe cheaper (by some measurement).
I have been really enjoying working with Avalonia, it is a .NET library that works across windows, Linux, and Mac and allows you to use C# for desktop app development on those environments. Its what MAUI should have been.
