Basically, yeah. Chronological sorting is good enough for most people. As long as you remember when you took the photo, you can find it easily.

I believe it. My nephew found out how to dual-boot Linux on his school Chromebook so that he could run some music creation software on it. Kids are smart.

don’t understand how even basics like folder structures works.

Why would they, though? The average user in today’s world doesn’t need that knowledge, just as we didn’t need the knowledge of how punchcards worked (although I think there are a few Lemmings around here who may actually be old enough to qualify). We needed to know how folders work, because that was the norm during our upbringing, but that’s no longer the case.

We didn’t stick to our predecessors’ methodologies. Neither will our successors. They’ll evolve and grow beyond the technology and the norms that we’re familiar with, just as we did with the generation before us.

I don’t know where people get this idea from. Kids are still hacking their school computers, just as much as we were back in the 90s. If anything, kids are more knowledgeable on bypassing these systems now than we were then; ask any school’s IT admin, kids are doing wild shit with their computers and tablets.

Don’t forget, people like you and I weren’t “normal kids”. We were a very stark minority. That’s still the case with today’s kids. I think you’re just not seeing it because you either don’t have children in your life that you are in regular communication with, or aren’t present on the social platforms today’s kids are on.

Wow, that audio is super unsettling. On its own it would seem innocuous, but with the context of trying to contact somebody in a country that’s on the verge of being nuked, it’s downright horrifying.

Back in the olden days, it was “here is my product, and this is the price, if you like it buy from this store”

When exactly are these olden days you refer to? I ask because most “modern” advertising practices have long-since been in place for over a century now; the only things that’ve changed are the delivery method and frequency.

Not surprising, most of them were just web wrappers, anyway. I’ve not used them that often, but they feel like they’re basically just bloatier PWAs.

knowing that you gotta call Customer Service to get the car to stop in case of emergency is pretty bad design, safety wise.

You don’t. He didn’t want to push the button, himself, because he expected customer service to do something different. But there’s a button on the screen right in front of him, as well as in his app, that will make the car immediately pull over and unlock the doors. You can hear the rep trying to direct him to push the button, and he refuses because he wants to be stubborn for his video.

I zi what you’re doing there, and no.

Yeah, Discord whales exist. Some people are REALLY proud of their profiles.

“Young Chinese women have small fingers,” the article reads, “and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said.”

This 100% reads like LLM output; it’s confidently wrong, isn’t using proper news copy syntax, and got weirdly vague as it trailed off (“the small device”).

NYT is publishing AI articles.

Probably because Reddit is complicit in removing such content.

That’s actually a really clever use of Gaussian splats, though I’m not really sure what the practical use of it would be. You can probably create some really cool, interactive renders of shipwrecks and reefs and such, but I’m not immediately seeing the value beyond edutainment content.

Corridor does a really good breakdown of what Gaussian splats are here, for those interested. The explanation ends when the sponsor segment begins, for those who don’t want to watch the whole video.

Because they don’t have propellers?

Implying there’s anything worth pirating on Netflix these days.

These ads will most definitely not be generated on-the-fly; too risky and too costly. They’ll be pre-generated and pre-approved AI-generated videos.

Imagine a collection of videos like that AI Coca Cola commercial (but for a soon-to-be-cancelled Netflix series instead of a soda), with a dozen different versions of it made for each “user archetype” Netflix identifies. That’s going to be how Netflix implements this.

If the writers named something directly it could leave them open for lawsuit if things go badly

So far, I don’t think the author is capable of writing something coherent enough to be considered libel.

It does a pretty poor job explaining itself, at all. Ironically, it probably would have behooved the author to have used an AI to proofread this.

The hype did not magic the jobs into existence. Because this was all part of marketing chatbots to the enterprise. They wanted companies to believe in the magic of chatbots.

This is a full paragraph from the article. What the fuck is this trying to say? Who is “they”? Literally no questions were answered by this article.

Same, I hardly ever look at my phone anymore during the day. I just glance at my notifications from my watch, if it’s not important I swipe it away and if it’s something I need to follow-up on I’ll just leave it for later. Then I go right back to whatever I was doing.

I get distracted a lot less these days, and my phone gets insane battery life now. My Pixel 6 is several years old now, but it still regularly gets 48+ hours of life because of how little wear I put on the battery.

Was.
