X app/thing sucks now that they added Z

Try new Y thing! it doesn't do annoying Z thing!

Oh no, Y added annoying Z thing! how come nobody saw this coming :(

maybe judge games by if they are fun or not

sure, the physics is solved: we know how radiators work, and we can calculate the area needed, blah blah. but we haven't put sustained-AI-computer systems into space yet - heat is a genuine concern, and personally I'm curious if they are developing something beyond simple radiators. if a ~1m^2 radiator works, great. but if the current test can only run the TPUs for ~15-minute bursts before it has to stop and dump heat, this issue isn't exactly "solved" in my book.

and yet notice how the cooling video / section was the only one they didn't have a solution for... just saying "radiator" doesn't make sense - the radiator heats up too. it's how you get rid of the heat, not where you put it.

I used AI to make a presentation that animated around (html). It had the look of the storyboard and the postcards had tweakable controls on them for the data I wanted to show. It was pretty slick, something that would take me forever (and I'd never get the time approval to do).

Totally depends. The real question is what's your average productivity increase?

I had a task to completely gut out a codebase to share with a vendor. I gave them my estimate - 2 weeks. Asked Claude to do it, and was done in an hour. Reviewed the changes, and it was perfect. This is an outlier of course, and it was a pretty basic codebase. But it's real world stuff.

Overall though, if I had the mental fortitude to work for 8 hours straight, I could easily average 5x my "normal" performance. But most days I can't perform at that level. Also I admit I am not a fast developer, I do a lot of testing and verifying as I'm paranoid.

I made an image and it fooled GPT. I asked it to look for a hidden message and it found the blurred word.

Still cool+fun though.

Clicked on link, it tried to upsell me on twitter prime or whatever it is. Closed the promotion, now I'm just sitting on twitter, not on the link I clicked on.

That is sad.

I guess I'll play devil's advocate here, don't shoot me.

Over the course of my career I've had to deal with multiple hacks, DDOSes, and even situations working with the FBI. It's a mess, and extremely frustrating and unfair to those of us who are just trying to do a good job and make a living. Those of you who are throwing stones at Microsoft's coding, how confident are you that your code is safe from this new AI age?

Obviously MS handled this poorly, even after reading this article it's not clear how MS handles bug bounties. But that doesn’t mean this “researcher” deserves a pass.

Releasing 0-days, especially working exploit code for unpatched vulnerabilities, is extremely unethical. It has real potential to cause a lot of harm to regular engineers, and users who had nothing to do with the dispute.

the new bottleneck for development at work is code reviews. devs are creating whole features that would take months in only a couple weeks, but code reviewing that is a slow, painful process

The low latency is more of a pain point than a good thing, the way they have it implemented. Trying to have a casual conversation with it, as humans we naturally pause, and GPT will take this as you are "done" and start blabbing away.

I also suffer from finding the appropriate word I want as I've gotten older and slower, and this fast-voice-gpt just ends up frustrating me more than helping. I have to sit there and think out the whole sentence in my head before I say anything -- not very natural.

Just happened to me and I was really confused. First time I've seen any malware callouts so it had me worried for a minute.

> This file is clearly not malware

Yeah, it's all my code, that you've seen before...
