  • That's the whole point. Google assistant sucks because it only understands commands, and doesn't understand natural language. This is Google's attempt at making a truly great assistant, as they always envisioned it to be. Personally, I am very excited as there is a lot of potential in the technology. It would be a shame if they don't execute well on it.

  • You should all see the story about the invention blue LEDs. No one believed that it could work except some japanese guy (Shuji Nakamura) who kept working on it despite his company telling him to stop. No one believed it could ever be solved despite being so close. He solved it and the rewards were astronomical.

    This could very well be another case of being so close to a breakthrough. Two years since GPT-3 came out is nothing. If you were paying any sort of attention you would see there are promising papers coming out almost every week. It's clear there is a lot we don't know about training neural nets effectively. Our own brains are the proof of that.

  • Universities often teach students to write a lot of comments, because you are required to learn and demonstrate your ability to translate between code and natural language. But this is one of the things that are different in professional environments.

    Every comment is a line to maintain in addition to the code it describes. And comments like this provide very little (if any) extra information that is not already available from reading the code. It is not uncommon for someone to alter the code that the comment is supposed to describe without changing the comment, resulting in comments that lie about what the code does, forcing you to read the code anyway.

    It's like if you were bilingual, you don't write every sentence in both languages, because that is twice as much text to maintain (and read).

    The exception of course, being if you are actually adding information that is not available in the code itself, such as why you did something a particular way.

  • What is the point of all these proxy search engines if they rely on the centralized servers' indexes anyways?

    Correction: it's not even the indexes it's the results. So really you still have no control over things such as the pageranking.

    What lesser known free and open source software do you use daily to improve your life?

    For me it is the note taking/PKMS tool SilverBullet.

    Scaled and controversial sort?

    With Lemmy 0.19 there are new scaled and controversial sort options, but I don't see them in the app. Is there an update coming soon to support these?

    edit: it seems like it gets selected when it's the default sort option for the logged in user. There's just no way to select it in the UI.

    Typing speed with Thumb-key keyboard

    Just wondering if anyone else has learned the Thumb-key keyboard well and could share their typing speed?

    I have been using the TypeSplit layout for a few weeks now and get over 50-55 wpm with it consistently. I'm still learning it though so I'm expecting to see over 60 wpm soon.

    Android Doze Tweaks: understand and tune Android Doze parameter to save power

    Found this very interesting article about how Android's Doze Mode really works and how you can tweak the settings. For example how you can make doze mode ignore the motion sensor.

    FSR 3 frame generation in MSFS

    Has anyone been able to test this yet? What was your experience like?

    I was able to test it on my 7900XT, but I'm not sure if it was working right. It was definitely enabled as the frame counter in Adrenalin showed double FPS. But that was only until I moved the camera and the FPS would return to non-framegen baseline until I stopped moving it again which kind of defeats the purpose.

    Just wondering if someone would like to share their experience so far with the new Android 14 update for Pixel 7?

    How has the battery life and performance been so far and have you noticed any bugs?
