Never attribute malice as mistakes when it comes to Microsoft.

OSS-120 is too old to be relevant, and four times the size.

The few times I've switched over to chatGPT I've been dumbfounded by lines like "...since you already are using SQLite...", referring to projects from months ago.

I know the "memory" function can be disabled, but I have a hard time seeing that it would ever really be useful.

Unless I am completely blind this article doesn't even say how the scam was perpetrated?

I understand that that is not the focus of this article but it would be nice to know at least a little bit. Like, did they skim a card? Perform some kind of online system hijacking?

It really makes a difference of who would be at fault here.

It's 99% the interface, cluttered with useless garbage over the video, that I hate.

I hate it so much that I couldn't even see the content hiding behind it, and don't really know what the recommendation is like.

7734128 — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 19:28:04 +0000

I'm sure this is impressive, but it's probably not the best test case given how many C compilers there are out there and how they presumably have been featured in the training data.

This is almost like asking me to invent a path finding algorithm when I've been thought Dijkstra's and A*.

"www.punkt.ch wants to send you notifications"

Why do websites still do this? It's an immediate red flag that the underlying company have no respect for their customers.

I don't understand why people are not more upset at that attempt.

Finally a way to perhaps remove laugh tracks in the near future.

No reason to try to avoid semantic search. Dead easy to implement, works across languages to some extent and the fuzziness is worth quite alot.

You're realistically going to need chunks of some kind anyway to feed the LLM, and once you got those it's just a few lines of code to get a basic persistant ChromaDB going.

If you touch the image when scrolling on mobile then it opens when you lift your finger. Then when you press the cross in the corner to close the image, the search button behind it is activated.

How can a serious company not notice these glaring issues in their websites?

Who tolerates a website which immediately pushes three overlapping pop-ups in free user's face?

Why would anyone subject themselves to so much hatred? Have some standards.

It's almost like NY Times has a massive bias against generative AI, for some reason.

Extremely common misconception. NASA even has a website about how it's incorrect

Would you want a translator to somehow jam that context into the story? Otherwise, I fail to see how it's an issue of translation.

If I had learned Russian and read the story in the original language, I would be in the same position regardless.

I've never seen a 32 bit model. There's bound to be a few of them, but it's hardly a normal precision.

A tree grows a leaf slightly more efficiently than we create a solar panel though.

It's quite hazardous to your health to all of a sudden lack any DNA. Your cells won't know how to replicate for one.
