yeah, I knew about kurzweil reading machines for years before I connected them with ray kurzweil, and I don't know how much of his tech ended up in speech rec during the scansoft / dragon systems / nuance / lernout and hauspie katamari years, but that tech has enabled me to be an independent working adult for more than 20 years. So I owe him a debt of gratitude, but also, he needs to not be on his bullshit.

This is so cathartic to read.
I have worked with multiple static sites delivered with React, because somebody built an enterprise design system which is so tightly tied into React that it can't be applied any other way.

No, all you lawyers explaining to me how the practice of law works in the U.S., you would totally benefit from GPT. Complete with bonus:
- Everyone explaining to me that lawyers actually read all the documents in discovery is really trying to explain to me, a computer scientist with 20 years of experience[1], how GPT works!
- [1] Does OP have actual tech expertise? The answer may (not) surprise you!
- You lawyers admit that sometimes you use google translate and database search engines, and those use machine learning components, and all ML is basically LLMs, so I'm right, Q.E.D.!
- Lawyers couldn't possibly read everything in discovery, right?
- Lawyers couldn't possibly pay for professional translation for everything, right?
- Even when it's mandated by the court?
- Really?
- and many, many more
I use it, but at least on my browser the next button is disabled so I can only see the most recent page of updates. I treat that as a the jank is a feature moment, though; if there's more than one page of new comments, I'm forced to stop reading.
Pour one out for opera presto, which I will always mourn.
One last hurrah for the EPA and the clean air act before the scotus shanks the administrative state in a day or two.
oh lord I cannot imagine how they would torment nexus the tao te ching.
...wait yes I can. they'd decide that LLMs are the tao. "What's perfectly whole seems flawed, but you can use it forever." "To know without knowing is best." "If those in power could hold to the Way, the ten thousand things would look after themselves."
