Yeah, I would say the jury is still out on LaMDA, while GPT-3 is already a massive success with ChatGPT. I would expect GPT-4 to be even better.

Microsoft is clearly ahead of the game when it comes to AI, but Google is ahead of the game when it comes to the platform to put the AI on. It will be interesting to see how this all play out.

With their google home products and android phones, google already has the platform to release Bard to millions of people.

As good as ChatGPT is (and it is fantastic), Microsoft does not really have the same kind of platform.

If they can get their act together, this is google's game to lose.

No, all they claim is that there are 100M accounts.

1) It is entirely possible and likely that there are people with multiple GitHub accounts.
2) If all those 100M accounts were individuals and were still alive, then sure, 1 out of 80, but some of them have already died.
3) I bet the majority of those accounts have never written a line of code in their life. They simply signed up to file a bug report or something.
4) Some accounts are for bots.

So no, nobody claimed that 1 out of 80 people are developers.

This is an honest question. Is it possible for slack to integrate with Office in the same way? as in providing the ability to share office documents and collaborate in editing them? basically, I am asking if slack has access to the same API that Team uses to integrate with Office.

As far as I can see, Office offers WOPI to do that kind of integration. So from my naive perspective, there is nothing that prevents slack from implementing the same functionality. If that is the case, then slack is simply whining that competition is getting tough.

The Linux kernel sees contributions from well over 1000 developers in every release. The user space tools include tens of thousands more. So no, it is not the work of "1 Finnish grad student".

Phase 4 was a complete disaster. Keep making movies like Eternals and shows like She-Hulk, and phase 6 will go straight to DVD.

Say what you want about MS. Maybe you don't like the feature.

But I commend them for this level of innovation. Copilot is fantastic, I use it every day. ChatGPT is incredible, a game-changer when it comes to bots. I applaud Nadella's Microsoft for taking risks and pushing technology forward.

Google was too scared to release LaMDA or use it in their product. Basically they have been sitting on it. They let MS steal their thunder.

It's obvious why...

Apple is willing to host any application for almost nothing in the app store. However, they require applications that sell goods (such as $8 blue checks subscriptions) to be sold through the app store giving Apple 30%.

That by itself is reasonable. But it is questionable when you consider that Apple will not let anyone distribute applications outside the app store.

I agree, laser printers have much superior quality when printing text and documents (what you will do 99% of the time)
Moreover...

Injket printers might be cheaper, but they really get you with the cartridges.
Toner is so much cheaper per page and won't dry out like inkjet cartridges.

Give those cows some Nutella, Cheetos, and cold pizza. You will get a well-balanced meal in every glass of milk.

I am not going to argue which one is better. I am sure one could weigh the pros and cons of each transmission and make an entirely rational decision about what to purchase. People have voted with their money and automatic cars won. I am sure they won for good reasons.

I have not had a manual transmission car in about 20 years, I stopped because I got married and the wife could not drive stick. I am no longer married and I can't wait to go back to manual transmission for my next car. For me, driving a stick is a satisfying experience, it is entirely subjective but I enjoy it more than driving an automatic vehicle.

This is just like light themes vs dark themes. As a software developer with experience in UI design, I can argue technical reasons why light themes are better, but it would not matter, some people will still prefer dark themes and that is the end of it, so it is best to provide the option.

You did not have any of that when firmware came in an EEPROM chip in the device.
If it was not a problem then, why is this a problem now?

Number of search results is an awful and arbitrary method for determining language popularity. For that matter, why not make a poll, ask an ouija board, or put a chicken in front of a keyboard to see what language it types (Perl would win that one)?

How about we look at actual code instead? Github, the most popular source code hosting service, regularly counts how much code is written by looking at pull requests. They publish the results here: https://octoverse.github.com/#...

When we look at actual code, the results are very different:

1) Javascript
2) Python
3) Java
4) Typescript
5) C#
6) PHP
7) C++
8) Shell
9) C
10) Ruby

Granted, plenty of companies use GitLab, Bitbucket, or use other version control systems internally, so GitHub does not account for all developers.
Still, I would argue it is a much better representation of the industry than search results.

You know what else causes you to produce dopamine? exercise, petting your cat/dog, beating the boss in a video game, eating, looking at art, songs, etc... Should those be banned too?

Just because something causes a dopamine release does not automatically mean it is uses drug dealer tactics

And we have not kept up with that for a long time. If that prediction held true, we would have 15x more transistors in our chips.
