I like it but I wish I can change the size of the keyboard. Buttons are too small on my phone.

> That footnote does make me question the bilingual reporter's skills in both languages though. If the reporter needs an LLM to help translate they could easily be missing subtle mistranslations.

I've done my fair share of translating as a bilingual person and having an LLM to do a first pass at translation saves TON of time. I don't "need" LLM, but it's definitely a helpful tool.

The article describes computational method of rendering frosted glass effect. You can achieve the same thing by rendering the effect once (then upload to a sever) and have client download the rendered image. Or you can compute the frosted glass effect. What's better? That's the argument.

Just like any other video games, I like these type of management games because it's "work" without real-life consequences.

I can play the min-max game without any unknowns that comes from real life management. Or I can destroy everything and mess everything up too.

It's my escapism.

I'm guessing you are not familiar with how Chinese characters work nor how Japanese Hiragana or Kanji work.

Hoping for 10 years of support, I adopted Centos 8 a week before the EOL announcement. I never understood why they decided to support 7 longer than 8.

Isn't this how any and all innovations work? (At least in the consumer product area)

oppressive leaders -> disarm their populations

doesn't imply

disarm their populations -> oppressive leaders

I can think of 2 oppressive leaders who tried to disarm but I know of dozens of democratic countries that disarmed their population without any abuse.

> Why would anyone worry about anonymized data?

I guess company wouldn't care, but I'd like to know if statistics that I'm part of is now also owned by someone else. I don't know why but it'll be nice to know.

It's a privilege to have any service done for you, not just waiting tables.

You are free to give them extra money if you feel that service received exceeds the price that you paid for but it shouldn't be mandatory.

Customer should pay for products and services that's agreed upon. Employer should pay their employees to ensure the quality of the said products and services. There's no reason why a quality of service should be variable based on how generous I feel.
