I love the background sounds feature. You can add a shortcut in the control center to turn it on and off. I used it a ton when I lived in an apartment with particularly noisy neighbors

What would be a better entry point? I honestly thought there would some hook for saving history specifically

I thought the extendable robot legs were the most interesting use with how compact the legs are when retracted

Is OpenAI truly behind? Just anecdotally I recently fully switched to using Codex at work because it feels a lot more competent

Your best chance would probably be mailed statements

Well when you don't even have a product to sell yet the website is the second most important part, right after actually making the thing. The website is there to sell preorders

I genuinely think you have to be trying to not pick up git after 20 years. Have a little more faith in yourself, it's not super complicated

Vibecoding your whole website is an indication of how seriously you’re taking a project. With how new this company is and how clearly this whole website was made with AI, how can you trust a single thing this website says about a product that barely exists? The AI probably just invented half of it

A city I used to live in did the same thing when they refurbished all the major bus stops. I always wondered why

Shelters also ban lots of normal things that make them harder to use, or have onerous rules around your schedule that make working impossible. There are a lot more reasons people don’t use shelters

I would love to be able to add one of these bots to my Minecraft server! I’ve got a family server and we’ve been talking about how to get an AI in there for a while. I tried out some open source harnesses to allow a generic LLM to join, but none of theme were particularly good.

If the goal is simply money, take the job now and play the corporate game. There’s a lot of money to be made being cut throat.

If you have a genuine love for computer science and the craft of programming then steer clear from the corporate world. It will suck the life out of you.

The supply of software has already gone up, and most of the new stuff is close to useless

Page count is not a measure of how seriously something is being taken when you can easily generate pages and pages of slop

If your contributions are genuinely indistinguishable from AI code, then this shouldn’t affect you. There would be no way to enforce it

Well you still ignore those things, just not with a committed .gitignore. Now your repo and your gitignore are pristine

Fascinating! I’d be very interested in further research on people with trauma/PTSD

There’s the obvious harm that some people are just not equipped to see these graphic images, especially with no warning. Like people who have trauma from being in or around the acts being depicted

I would guess patents. If you don’t get the rights for an for an existing design, you need to build your own from the ground up
