I’m a computer scientist and software engineer. I’m only a few years out of college but judging by the trajectory of the current AI models, looking like my job won’t be replaced soon. I think the next year or two will solidify whether the gains in AI are tapering off or if it’s still possible for meaningful yearly improvements to AI.

Do we think Trump could put the monopoly lawsuits against google at risk?

New business idea: AI executives for your company as a service

OK, but wow, even barely pop-up windows are still infuriating

I had a linear algebra professor that taught on PowerPoint, would go so fast you couldn’t keep up with notes, and if you used your phone to take a picture of the board, she would stop the class to explain to you how the slides are her intellectual property and you couldn’t take photos.

For me, there are just a few communities that are missing (or too inactive) here. For example, r/homekit. That being said, I haven’t made much of an effort to post, so I’m part of the problem.

Matter has been pretty good to me lately. Had to solve an Apple Home Hub issue, but it’s pretty rock solid now. My only complaint is switches could have less latency (I want near instant), but at least they are working consistently. I’m using Matter over Thread, not Matter over WiFi.

Chegg wasn’t much better from what I remember. Right before my Discrete Structures II Final, my professor found most of our assignments posted and answered on Chegg. Instead of getting angry, he explained problem by problem everything the “Chegg experts” got wrong.

And that doesn’t even get into planted incorrect answers. I’m pretty sure our computer science department would deliberately answer relevant chegg questions incorrectly. If you use that specific incorrect answer and work they know you cheated.

ChatGPT solves all of this and I bet it does so with about the same quality as Chegg. I’m not saying I don’t think AI dumb. I’m saying Chegg was also kinda dumb.

SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN

I’m not an airport or ubiquity user, but from what I’ve seen I would be surprised if there is anything airport can do that ubiquity can’t.

I’m predicting it now. There will be either an app or a bot that collects all the photos taken at a wedding by guests and generates “professional” photos of the event. So you won’t need to frame the photos anymore. You will only need enough perspectives to predict what a framed photo would look like.

I’m against AI replacing human creativity. This is just a prediction. Not saying I want it to happen.

Lol they put the guy who ran Yahoo into the ground in charge of Google search.

Ahhhh nothing like some good enshitification

Isn’t the constitution the New New Testament.

I think what you just described is the electoral college

Wouldn’t the YouTube creator need to see views for ad revenue? Are they removing them for viewers or creators too?

USB-C has been out for years. The only issue IMO is that since USB-C negotiates power delivery, it might not be as easy to split out a USB-C port into multiple USB-C ports. Spitting USB-A ports is easy since they only do 5V, and spitting USB-C into multiple USB-A ports should be fine. But if your peripherals all become USB-C, you might find yourself running out of ports fast.

I am not an expert. I probably got something wrong there, but that’s my understanding.
