I think his “ALL AUTHORS” point was about how authors will use AI in some form or fashion during their process, and points to how he did with his google search and his AI Gmail response. I don’t think he meant all authors using AI for their writing. Here’s the snippet:
“Another thing that will happen is established authors will turn to AI for assistance, not just for writing but for research, cover art, editing, returning emails, having an assistant, doing marketing, and thousands of other things that haven’t been invented yet.”
I take it as a general, this-tech-is-being-shoved-down-our-throats kind of way
That's how I meant it. Love to have read the original comment telling me about all the authors out there who are somehow able to avoid the AI that is now in EVERY SINGLE THING WE USE, including our email and web searches.
I’d argue education (especially those early years) is less about making them good white collar workers and moreso making them well rounded people. Education has value beyond monetary gains
This is cool! I made something similar a little while ago that I’ve been touching up here and there. You can’t export to any SQL but I just wanted a tool I can use to diagram tables: https://datagram.studio
Edit: should clarify mine is also free! It’s quite specific to my needs but I’m happy with it
It’s interesting that the example interaction they use on their homepage is a no-friction example that can be handled without an AI chatbot. Why not something more complex that properly demonstrates the value?
This is really awesome. The CHM is one of my favorite places in the world. I had applied for a web developer position there not too long ago, great to see them expand things online like this
Is Chrome trying to assume that, since you don’t want it to translate those pages/languages, that you can read them/want them in your header? Interesting
I'd read it more generously than that. I think Chrome trying to stop the server choosing the language for you. By sending an accepts-language header (which your browser does regardless of what you use; it's not a Chrome thing) the server should return the page in a language you've said you'll accept. By adding the language to what you've told Chrome not to translate, it's attempting to show you pages in languages you want.
I imagine Chrome is really adding the language to your browser preferences when you choose not to translate a page, and the HTTP client in the browser is generating request headers based on your preferred languages. A small (and largely unimportant) semantic point, but it's possible that the Google translate team weren't aware of how adding a preferred language might impact user privacy. That isn't to excuse the behaviour; they should have checked.
I write code and also cycle. I built a bike shed in my back yard. It has become quite difficult to search for advice on how to actually build a bike shed.
That's actually a great point. If this community keeps claiming building a bike shed is trivial, surely we can expect some good ideas. My acceptance criteria would include a solution for water damage, and anchoring - based on previous failed attempts to do that task :-)
