"Other people are worse". Irrelevant to the problem unless you want to go start doing vigilante justice.

I wouldn't say irrelevant to the problem... Most of the stuff we as individuals can do, amount to trying to put out a tire fire by clapping... Even millions of us won't make almost any difference, specially when you have 10 assholes who, instead of clapping are actively pouring gas on the fire

I'm 100% on board with the clapping... But I'm not kidding myselft that we are going to save ourselves until we eliminate the firebugs

Same, I lurked around a lot and thought it would be useful one day of I had a question ... I'm just an avid DIYer and out of maybe 10 times I decided to ask, I got 1 solid answer... Everything else were wild guesses or just trolls

How? It's closed sourced tech. Not like Firefox can just add it, they would have to pay Google for it (and that's assuming google would license Firefox for this and remove a competitive advantage from Chrome Browser)

Proving once again that it's usually management that tanks a company.... Yet they get the golden parachutes

What you are stating is nowhere near the point I was trying to make.

We have seen a million times how a company can be destroyed for short term gains.... Most recent public example is red lobster

I have no clue if this is what's going to happen to google... But my point was that have a good last quarter (the one associated with the new head of Search) is not an indication that his strategies will pan out ... In fact, everything he touched before went the same way, short term profit, long term demise

So I guess this is what the consumers want because that is all these conglomerates offer, right? Right?

Yeap.... Another brilliant short term strategy to catch a few eager fools that won't last mid term

Example of (reasonably) good prompt: This code introduces deep recursion and can sometimes cause a "maximum stack size exceeded" error in certain cases. Please help me convert it to use a while loop instead.

That sounds like those cases on YouTube where the correction to the code was shorter than the prompt hahaha

I asked ChatGPT for assistance with JavaScript doing HL7 stuff and it was a joke... After the seventh correction I gave up on it (at least for that task)

You have no idea how many times I mentioned this observation from my own experience and people attacked me like I called their baby ugly

ChatGPT in its current form is good help, but nowhere ready to actually replace anyone

It's relatively easy to squeeze a profit boost by sacrificing long term vision.... Last quarter will mean nothing if Google is knocked from its pedestal in a year or two (which is what the current trend looks to be pointing to)

Well they official word is that it was intermittent... Maybe I just got lucky when testing
