I very much say "Google uses web crawlers to scrape web pages." and if something breaks, or some data is stolen, everyone else is going to be saying that Google has to take responsibility.

Those are two different issues. One is about typical speech patterns and one is about liability.

I agree with you on the liability issue, but I don't think there much question about this issue outside the anti-AI conspiracy campaigns.

And I disagree with your typical usage claim. I myself tend to use the phrase that has the fewest words in all cases. It's like the rule against using passive tense when writing.


I guess that team was dismantled some time ago, with no on carrying the flag anymore. Modern windows is impossible to work on using just keyboard. Some mods & extensions do help. But the native experience is abysmal.


My touchpad doesn't work anymore. Why is it so difficult to connect a bluetooth mouse without a mouse? The "mouse detected, want to connect?" notification shows up ON THE SCREEN but I need to enter a bunch of shortcuts and navigate through multiple items just to be able to click yes.


The keyboard support in "Modern" Windows apps is so random. In the new Notepad, the dialog that appears asking if you want to create a new files shows Yes and No buttons, but it doesn't accept Y and N keys, only Esc and Enter. However, the dialog that appears when exiting without saving does accept S and N for Save and Don't Save. These inconsistencies are everywhere in UWP.


Yes and especially the new web-driven apps are terrible at it.


Brother was so close to winning big, then just stopped digging, when one could smell the success.


I really need a tool, which is going to reliably consolidate collective kniwledge of many teams, about different parts of a product, into given structure.

It feels like an impossible task. With little bips and bops being relevant across the whole project. One would have to scour through the entire document they are creating, for every bip and bop they want to write down.

Not like LLM could not do this. But, there always comes a point, where some important relation is skipped, or is just part of the tribal knowledge. Someone, somewhere just knows, that if X fails, he has to look in Z, but this fact is not noted in the knowledgebase. So, the re-write always falls apart.


I've taken hand-written, on paper, notes throughout my education, up to high school level. In university, I've switched to hand-written notes on a tablet device. At the end of uni, when I started working on my final thesis & Obsidian was becoming popular, I've switched to it and since then, everything I note is organized into markdown files or at least is somehow referenced through pure text.

Having experienced all of these methods. I've found myself regularly searching through my vault and referencing older material. While the notes hand-written on a tablet, made it much easier to sift through vast amounts of material I was ingesting at the time. I find myself unable to re-use these notes in any meaningful way. They still exist, I can access them, but I don't find myself going back to them. Old paper notebooks? Most of them are destroyed, lost, forgotten to time.

The knowledge management, with easily indexable and searchable contents, has this invaluable perk of being accessible at a moments notice. Keeping potential of being relevant.


Holy AI Slop. Each tool is a minimal implementation of a concept, rarely complete, ergonomic, useful solutions. There is no search, so... how does one quickly get to what they need, on a kilometer long list? Most of this stuff should be integrated into a search box.


I saw a search box on the left sidebar?


There are hybrid packages, which are very good for performance applications. A performance oriented conversion, done well, should boost the value.


You would have to provide custom replacement hubs, for all the vehicle types you want to support. Plus, adding a clutch system to a hub drive is not feasable. So, the hub engines are engaged all the time.

I've considered it as a modification for FWD track performance cars. It is much easier to add a hub into a stiff rear axle. Turns out, that adding an electric motor, which is not part of the main engine assembly, ads way too much complexity in controlling the whole thing and weight to power ratio, that it stops quickly stops making sense.


They both have their uses. At the extreme, try to imagine Pubg as a web app. There are good modern games that work purely in a browser. But still, there are "applications" that function better as full fledge clients seeping small amounts of data and there are "applications" that function just aswell as dynamically loaded full server-side solutions.


I know, I agree both have their uses :-) I was just jesting about the kind of extreme OP went for.


In development, you don't have the privilege of using optimised culling and LODs. For rapid development, very little code is compiled & there are extra IDE tools running.

When you consider that 16GB has become the minimum requirement for modern A+ titles (with the Windows OS & background tasks squating on 4-6GB). Creating such a title might be difficult on memory limited machine.

Unreal had made some improvements in this regard recently, with direct from storage assets loading & stuff.
