Don’t sleep on “Slow Cooker Magic: A Seasonal Selection of Family Favorite Recipes”

The current AI software glut, from the point-of-view of a puzzle constructor.

Meanwhile, several companies are no longer offering bounties. It's becoming tedious to sift through all the AI-generated submissions, many of which are false positives.

This is very much the approach I use as well (I've been publishing Sudoku for a long time at krazydad).

“AI infused at every layer“

Okay… What does that even mean? And why does the company think we want that?

I love me some AI, but right now it’s getting put on everything like Nutella at a hipster eatery.

The most troublesome part of this demo for me was the one tablespoon of mayo it wanted you to add to your vegetable omelet. Yikes.

I agree with you. I love using copilot (and similar tools) and I’ve found it is exceedingly good at predicting patterns in my own coding. It has saved me a lot of time, and I would hate for it to go away or be crippled because of lawsuits like this. I could care less if my own code is used for training. My code isn’t precious, it’s what I do with it that is important.

delicio.us was pretty great in it’s day

And if you used the -v option to set the voice to “whisper”, it was super creepy. say -v whisper “Get out of the house”

Gonna mention Quiver (The Programmer's Notebook) as it hasn't been mentioned yet. I've been on Evernote for about 10 years and have a few thousand notes in it. This news is discomfiting and I look forward to checking out some of the contemporary alternatives. Lately, I've been putting more technical/nerdy stuff into Quiver, which understands code and does syntax highlighting and all that good stuff. I don't like it as much for the free-form stuff I do in Evernote, but for code snippets it's great.

Their work actually sounds pretty exciting to me.

Seeing a lot of posts of the "Observable vs Jupyter" variety. I really don't think this has to be a this versus that kind of discussion. There is plenty of room for both.
