  1. If upvoting doesn’t require justification neither should downvoting.

    But let me try to express why people disagree. Change is software compared to physical systems is comparatively incredibly cheap. Unlike in building something known, design at the start of a software project is unlikely to be the one the client actually wanted nor would be the one that is one going to be build. Or at least it shouldn’t be.

    The “brick-laying” part of software isn’t the hard part. Depending on want to analogise as “brick-laying” in software, that part could automated. Push to main and the deployment pipeline runs tests, makes sure things are working and voila! You have a new “house”. If its ugly or falls apart in software, easy , just revert to the previous version and its like nothing happened. Client wants a try different layout, it can be done affordably.

    Most of the time in software engineering you don’t know exactly how to do something, there is always a degree of discovery, experimentation and learning involved. Heck the client probably isn’t expressing what they want clearly enough, and probably will at some point change their mind. Thus interacting with clients and customers is valuable.

  2. No the people who decided that usb 3.2 gen 2x2 and usb 4 version 2.0 gen 4x2 were acceptable names are the ones who should be sanctioned
  3. Use the playback speed settings, tough hitting pause every once in a while is also a good idea
  4. Its that time of the year again huh. The times for unfilled news years aspirations.
  5. Oh its AI that makes not indie, not the huge funding.
  6. Very interesting! A little awkward on mobile , but that’s might be me not being used to it
  7. Oh no, something always irked me about udemy, especially those fomo sales
  8. I’m disappointed this wasn’t about felines
  9. “Google shuts down Gemini cloud services” lol, is amazing
  10. It’s not about learning programming, more about learning how to solve leet code problems quickly as I understand it
  11. Nah, people especially younger ones associate the floppy disk with the save button
  12. Heck most people won’t be upgrading every few years, the m1 Macs are still plenty good today, it sounds like this guy just wants a MacBook Pro that runs highly tuned Unix based OS that is not macOS
  13. oh no, this is going to cause abomninations,
  14. I think the removal of standard manual doors is the actual crime
  15. As a phone user, I hate you, I hate how good this is. That counter is just mocking me.
  16. I have the exact same, Unique to 1 in 17,179,869,184+ devices. actually slightly different. hmmm... ,'s vs .'s
  17. Looks like a fun inclusion
  18. But this is more fun, and decently harmless
  19. or just wear a t-shirt with the poem on it in plain text
  20. It’s not that people are unimpressed with ai, it’s that they are unimpressed with what it can even on windows and forcing us to interact with it. Like I can’t even change basic settings with it. If it were good, you don’t need to tell me to used it!
  21. woah its incredible how quickly i can spot the fuzzy spot around where i can clearly see the rotation, and when i unfocus can see fuzzy movement all around. This is really cool. So this is the theory beind foveated rendering/streaming
  22. the last few % that make a a-list actor an a-list actor is the hardest part, i would bet you that its going to take longer than 12 months
  23. even if its slightly better, they might still have released the benchmarks and called it a incremental improvement. I think that its falls behind one some compared to chat gpt5
  24. Most people don't at 150wpm, the typically speaking speed, even agmonst technical people. For regular questions without that don't invovle precise syntax like in maths and programming, speech would be faster. Though reading the output would be faster than hearing it spoken
  25. is it that bad? I have a robot vacuum, i put googley eyes on it gave it a name, and now everyone in the house uses the name an uses he/him to refer to it.
  26. I would of though the hacker news type would be dreaming about having something like javis from iron man, not Data.
  27. And unfortunately chatgpt 5.1 would be a step backwards in that regard. From reading responses on the linked article, 5.1 just seems to be worse, it doesn't even output that nice latex/mathsjax equation
  28. They already do hide alot from you when thinking, this person wants them to hide more instead of doing their 'thinking' 'out loud' in the response.
  29. repeating what is being asked is fine i think, sometimes is thinks you want something different to what you actually want. what is annoying is "that's and incredibly insightul question that delves into a fundamental..." type responses at the start.
  30. I'm glad to not have seen a r/MyBabyIsAI yet
