Generating code that's functionally correct is one thing, but is the code maintainable? Well-factored? Efficient? Does it use coding best practices so others on the team can work with it?

I'm one of the rare individuals who gets dizzy from smooth scrolling. If I watch other people's screens (mobile or desktop) while they're scrolling, it becomes unbearable within seconds. There's no way I'll be able to use VR.
Bring back jump scrolling! It's so much faster & easier on the eyes.
This is poor science reporting. Dogs' eyes may water when their owners approach, but any conclusions about emotion are just guesses by the experimenters. Physical signals (watery eyes, rapid heartbeat, or whatever) do not have inherent psychological meaning.
My eyes water when it's windy outside, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about the weather.
The old internet was about "we" -- sharing passions with others. Today's internet is "me, me, me."
This seems like the perfect strategy to keep your employees for exactly 91 days.
...tech giants call to abolish gravity, saying "It makes our data centers heavier."
In a study like this, you should never ask questions like 'do you feel sick?' or 'are your eyes starting to hurt?' These sorts of leading questions prime the participants to experience these symptoms when they otherwise might not. A more valid and neutral question to ask is, "How do you feel?" Experts should know better.
You all owe me big-time.
MediaWiki, the software behind Wikipedia and thousands of other sites, seems like a great example of complex, robust software that's been well maintained for ~20 years. Kudos to Wikimedia Foundation.
...how many participants were dropped from the study while it was running, and for what reasons?
The report says interest in Bitcoin is up 166%. I hear that it dropped by 281% the next day.
>...a language model with 280 billion parameters named Gopher.
How do they tell all those parameters apart if they're all named "Gopher"?
I still use Windows XP to run an old (but very good) version of Quicken whose data is too old to migrate to newer Quicken. The computer running XP has no internet connection so I'm not worried about security.
Any fridge that can track the 167 little Tupperware containers in my fridge, some of which date back to the Pleistocene Era, gets my vote.
All seems condemned in the long run to approximate a state akin to Gaussian noise. -- James Martin
