I just don't see how any of these examples from Udio or ElevenLabs could be considered good. To me they sound just bland enough that I may be fooled by them if I weren't paying close attention. If I do pay attention it sounds like a song accidentally came about. It sounds like music might in a dream. Eerie.
This looks like the perfect tool for rapid prototyping. I am not yet sold on this being a viable method to produce commercial games, but I do think you guys are on to something. Very cool!
This is a mixed bag to me, some of the features sound very cool. I like automatic pulling, doing away with stashing, splitting commits into checkpoints and merges, optional locking and supporting large binary files makes it super adaptable to non-programming workloads.
I don't think uploading on save is a wonderful idea for many reasons mentioned here. I don't agree with replacing forking with branching because forking is not only done to contribute to the mainline project. I'm against stuffing AI where solves no problem.
I also get the feeling that if Grace goes anywhere it's going to be commercialized. It's practically screaming paid service.
I'm not sure how that makes sense today, to me it's more of a novel idea than a solution to a problem. I use AI every day in my workflow and I honestly don't believe it's capable of reliably solving merge conflicts. GPT-4 can write a really nice method but can't integrate it into my code-base. If half of the proposed solutions are incorrect, I need to scrutinize all proposed solutions equally. Would I rather review likely inaccurate conflict resolutions, only to solve it myself afterwards, or resolve it myself from the get-go in a way that I know makes sense? Do I want to give my teammates the ability to click a button and introduce subtle merge bugs?
Honestly it's so poorly written it's ambiguous as to whether the article refers to "notepad" the program or a physical notepad. The earlier sections talk about compiling often, notepad lacking fancy IDE features, etc. This whole article reads like an AI generated attempt to advertise the Amazon links at the bottom of the page.
Phones seem to have peaked some years ago, but they're dead set on keeping with the yearly release model. Modern phones have absolutely ridiculous specs. I do not need a $1000+ super phone that folds in half, has an 8 core processor and 16 gigs of memory, with a professional camera built into it (maybe 2 or 4).
It blows my mind. What are people actually doing with their phones? I doubt most people even know why they're upgrading unless: carrier offers upgrade, old phone broke, or must have the biggest number
Am I the only one who isn't super off-put by interruptions? I don't forget what I was thinking about so quickly, and if I'm thinking through something complex I work it out on paper.
You seem hyper focused on comparing all that you hear to what you already know you like. If you really want to appreciate new music, cut it out. You're introducing bias at the outset. If you approach a new artist as if their work is isolated, and give it some time to settle in, I think you'll be surprised.
I find that I learn more from books than any other medium. I think it's because of the process of writing a book. It takes extreme dedication, passion, and a deep knowledge of the subject. Most books I've read have been reviewed by multiple experts and their content is presented in a structured and comprehensive way. Authors spend a significant chunk of their life writing a handful of books, many books you read are someone's greatest life achievement.
If the same amount of time and care were put into, say a YouTube video, I'd prefer the video. But that's very rare. My reading is 100% informational however, so I am biased in that regard.
I disagree with everything the author has to say. That being said the user here did something rude in a public place and deserves any backlash they get for doing so. If a little bit of internet condemnation causes someone to have a suicidal meltdown they shouldn't be online at all. We shouldn't all conform our behavior to be accommodating
I don't think it was implied that Ford's entire customer base was his own employees, just that he paid them enough to afford the cars the company manufactured. I agree with the rest of this though.
This has the side effect of incentivizing bullshit submissions. This may work better for something that is rigid, like answering some multiple choice questions.
I was going to say you should do a write-up, then I checked your profile! Very cool. Your debug symbol viewing idea sounds like it'd make for a good standalone tool.
I did not know all of this about the org. The t-shirt situation is just unfathomably stupid, that last line about anonymity might convince me to cancel.
I still do like the product they offer, though. It'll be difficult to give up their bullshit result filtering. I also cancelled my ChatGPT plan because I could use GPT4 through Kagi. They also provide access to Gemeni, Mistral, and Claude. Probably actually an unsustainable value.
The two are fundamentally incomparable beyond the surface level fact that "things will be different". Recorded music changed the way we experience music. AI tools may change the way we make music.
From my perspective the implications of this are dire. AI can completely remove the human element. The skill, creativity, and collaboration required to produce music is a big part of my appreciation for it. Once that's gone, when Spotify can generate exactly what I want to hear, Music as we know it loses its value.
Adding my own experience, I take 200MG L-Theanine supplements daily and there is a noticeable calmness. It used in combination with Caffeine a lot to soothe the jitters. There isn't a known LD50 and I've taken up to 600MG, at best I can say it's borderline euphoric. Nowhere comparable to LSD even at the 20MCG level
I also notice that some content like art and music only pull passive engagement. On the opposite end of the spectrum you have platforms like Twitch, where a creator's success is almost entirely dependent on their ability to build an actively engaged following. I think the key to it all is that the creator has to encourage and participate in interactions with their following.
I'd disagree with that. Most people I know that use social media for marketing are just following the eyes, making as many people as possible aware that they exist and have done something. If you don't try to put your work out there nobody will know you've done it. If the economy of attention didn't lead far there would be no advertisements.
Yeah this is my experience as well, gen AI is so well integrated into Photoshop. It's the only software I've used to far where AI integration actually improved the experience. Removing things from pictures used to be a painful process where I'd use the spot heal tool as much as possible then touch up the bad bits manually. Now it's a selection and a sentence, and I have multiple variations I could never have hoped to replicate manually. Same with adding things into photos. Both generating them and blending them in.
Passionless devs exist in droves, but I've never met a dev who didn't enjoy the salary. It's not far fetched at all to say that an individual working on something they care about has different incentives than an employee earning their pay.
I don't know if I'd call the output of modern de-compilers "very good", not for native code anyway. They're just a little better than raw disassembly. Even state of the art de-compilers struggle to reconstruct control flow, distinguish data from code, identify the presence of a variable, let alone its type, and they fundamentally lack context. If a LLM could be used even just to reliably reconstruct symbol information it would be game-changing.
Yes, very much so. I spent a week once just thinking about my alarm clock. It's a $15 Chinese unbranded alarm clock, but it's so complex there are probably no people on Earth who could completely understand it. Analyze its circuit, the code that drives it, the materials and components that compose it, their historical origins, their supply chain origins, etc. You'd always be able to find a new way to observe this alarm clock. This got me really thinking about how interconnected things are, I theorize that you could start at any one thing and with enough effort end up at any other. There must exist a path between toilet paper and rocket science.
Interesting read, from the title I figured the article was going to be about "hackers" breaching accounts and reading past conversations. I don't think reading private chats is the way to put it, more like inferring topics of discussion with some accuracy
Weird. I have more of an external monologue, I have to speak to consolidate my thoughts. I can't read a book silently and retain any information. I have to read each page out loud, but the volume doesn't matter. It's more the act of translating thoughts to words.
Could not agree more, this exactly describes my motivation in publishing my own projects. I have benefited from the open-source ecosystem and I want to it to thrive into the future. My salary provides me with a comfortable life, and I doubt I could sell the kind of things I enjoy making.
No, I don't. I consider presentation logic to be the browser code parsing those configurations. Many people "can't see" HTML, CSS, or SQL as programming languages because they aren't programming languages. When you write markup, database queries, and styles you are factually not programming. This is fine, it does not devalue those skills in any way.
That being said, to my knowledge front-end developers generally are JavaScript programmers. I consider front-end developers to be programmers.
The likening of the percieved "front-end devaluation" to gender and racial inequality completely derailed this article for me. The author, a white man funilly enough, seems to be desperately trying to use these issues to give his own ideas legitimacy. Unfortunately most of his arguments are thinly veiled tantrums thrown in response to his misunderstanding of his own role in software development.
Yes, under appreciation of front-end skills is a real problem. No, that doesn't mean HTML or CSS are programming languages. You aren't "programming the presentation logic", you're configuring the browser.
