Have you missed all the people who are quite vocal about this being shit? It’s not the death of human progress, it’s the well deserved death of corporate progress.

for small devices half the appeal is that you don’t need a big fucking rectangle taking up space on the device.

Personally i think a GOOD trackpoint (one that isn’t miserably stiff, and is well-calibrated) plus a touchscreen is perfection for something like a laptop. The trackpoint lets you do most things without taking your hands off the keyboard, and the touchscreen is a touchpad but… Borderline objectively superior in every way.
Like… There’s a reason phones have touchscreens, the idea of using a phone with a touchpad is insane.

assuming we’re not talking about sparkling water, which some people call mineral water: Is it really that common outside of america for tap water to not taste fine?
I’ve never had bottled water where the taste was in any way remarkable, except from some brands that just taste like stale water where the plastic bottle leeched into it…

i don’t think it’s out there to say that flatpaks can be a bit fucky wucky, but yeah it’s not some massive issue, they just need to make packaging harder to fuck up

astounds me that people still don’t make that priority #1

only reason i turn my computer off is power draw and noise

The funny thing is that this is the ONE usecase where LLMs can’t themselves make anything worse, because if used sensibly it’s basically just a black box that pokes at your software until something breaks, the whole point is to break things!

But of course AI-users can’t even fucking handle that, they’re so utterly incapable of doing any work themselves that “look at the thing and write down things that go wrong and why it went wrong, and check if it has already been reported before submitting your own report” is too much for them to handle.

It is, because these days it’s incredibly easy to find information about you unless you fundamentally change all your habits related to technology.

there’s no requirement at all to check edits, but some people like to do so.
I think really the only thing you should avoid is editing large areas in one go, and make sure you include a useful summary of the changes.

While this is true, there’s still a very consciously visible “style” to these images. It’s too obvious for me to call it subconscious.
Like the weird focus, the text on the whiteboard looking like a digital font… The individual things that are weird are quite easy to point out.

Amazing that moderate-effort generated images look this good now, and yet i immediately twigged that it’s not a real photo.
Lo and behold i look closer and indeed the text is garbled nonsense.

Are they intentionally priming the models to have this weird aura of surreality? Or is it just something inherent to AI-generated images that’s somehow really difficult to avoid?

let’s not pretend like this is worse than the situation with reddit, this is like switching from pants filled with shit to pants that periodically piss themselves a bit

Yeah it’s not good, but good lord it’s so much better
