BurningnnTree , to Technology in Before Smartphones, an Army of Real People Helped You Find Stuff on Google

I remember using ChaCha. Good times

BurningnnTree , to Technology in Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices

Apple could easily do the bare minimum to keep regulators at bay while still keeping the experience as shitty as possible so that Android will continue to look bad. For example they could refuse to implement reactions or typing indicators, or they could even deliberately compress videos. I'm expecting the worst until we see otherwise.

BurningnnTree , to Technology in New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

As long as this is opt-in and users understand the risks, then I don't have a problem with it. I wouldn't use it on my personal PC, but it would probably be handy for my work PC. (Although my organization would probably block the feature for security reasons. So maybe it's not actually that useful after all.)

BurningnnTree , to Technology in Reddit’s deal with OpenAI will plug its posts into “ChatGPT and new products”

So you're saying instead of tacking "site:reddit.com" onto my Google search, I can now use ChatGPT to get the same information, except without the original context, and it will often be wrong? Amazing!

And this also means that companies will fill Reddit with fake comments promoting their brand to ensure that their brand gets mentioned in ChatGPT responses, right? Can't wait!

BurningnnTree , to Games in Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

Valve's game development division feels more like a weird cult than a proper game company. I don't think they get "excited" for the things that most people get excited for. (Remember when they were excited for a virtual card game where you have to pay for every card?) The Valve of the 2000s is long gone IMO

BurningnnTree , to Games in Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

I'm not angry, but I'm tired of live service esports games. Also the last time Valve arrived late to a trend (Artifact) it didn't turn out well.

BurningnnTree , to Programmer Humor in AI Suggestions

Can you please describe how you do this? I thought Github Copilot can only make changes to the currently open tab? It's been a few months since I've used it, and I've only used the Visual Studio version, which I think isn't as good as the Visual Studio Code version. Has Copilot already gotten to the point where you can tell it to make changes to an entire codebase?

If Microsoft shuts down Double Fine I'm going to riot

BurningnnTree , to Asklemmy in How do I pass a coding test?

Every time I do a coding test, I always overlook certain optimizations because I'm too stressed to think clearly. After the interview is done, I quickly realize what I did wrong. When this happens, I send a follow-up email where I tell the hiring manager that i made a mistake, and I provide my corrected code or explain what I should have done differently. I've landed two different jobs before by doing this. (One was a live coding test and the other was a take-home test.) So don't be afraid to follow up with corrections, even if the deadline for the take-home test has passed.

BurningnnTree , to Technology in Rabbit was once an NFT company that it wants you to forget about

damn I forgot about NFTs. That shit was funny

BurningnnTree , to Technology in Google apologizes for ‘missing the mark’ after Gemini generated racially diverse Nazis

No matter what Google does, people are going to come up with gotcha scenarios to complain about. People need to accept the fact that if you don't specify what race you want, then the output might not contain the race you want. This seems like such a silly thing to be mad about.
