It isn't, and it reflects how deeply LLMs are misunderstood, even by technical people

Agents have plateaued and will never be as good as deterministic code for browser automation. It's a fundamental issue with the way LLMs work.

My company will buy me a new phone and laptop every year if I want. My laptop is from 2022 and my phone from 2021.

They work fine. Any performance boost isn't worth setting up a new device.

Office 365 will have been renamed 3 times by 2035, and none of the names will make any more sense than 365 does.

Don't worry, by 2035, Office 365 One X 1, will be renamed back to Office 365.

But it will be $400 per user per month and the bundle will now also include a mandatory opt-in for retinal and rectal ad carousels.

I've known more than a few people who likely saw Outlook, Word, or Excel open every day straight for a year.

It is a bit smug. Like The Matrix rebranding itself "24/7".

The economies of scale of a 2,000 lb (electric) vehicle are probably such that they use far less carbon than an individual delivery robot on a per-delivery basis

I didn't have this experience when I first learned C#. Everything just kind of worked the way I expected it to. There are sharp edges, but far fewer than expected and always for an actual reason.

This is possibly the worst product idea I've ever heard of. I can't imagine one person enjoying it, let alone 10s or 100s

If what you say is true, we would know almost nothing about pharmacology and modern medicine wouldn't exist.

There are basic scientific and statistical methods to avoid this.

There are, but there are also strong incentives for what amounts to fraud, on both sides. Glyphosate has become both highly politicized -- it's used as an argument against GMOs -- and subject to concerted and lucrative legal attack. At the same time, the patent is expired, so the motivation to continue to defend it has waned. If anything, herbicide producers would now benefit if a cheap, public domain chemical were illegitimately banned in favor of more expensive chemicals still under patent protection.

Even when supposedly honest scientists publish, it's often wrong.

> the patent is expired, so the motivation to continue to defend it has waned. If anything, herbicide producers would now benefit if a cheap, public domain chemical were illegitimately banned in favor of more expensive chemicals still under patent protection

That doesn't square with the fact that Monsanto thought it worthwhile to commit scientific fraud to push the narrative that glyphosate is safe, in a scientific paper published the same year that the patent expired.

They had patents on Roundup Ready seeds. Those patents have also now expired.

This was and probably still is true about tobacco. Personally, I choose to not smoke.

The evidence against tobacco was overwhelming.

It's bizarre that the right wing wants to execute people convicted of a single murder, but tobacco and opioid execs, responsible for millions of deaths, don't receive jail time or even fines.

capitalism is our natural environment. like the air we breathe. how can you punish it?

Can't you see the billionaires sprouting in the Spring? Didn't you know they spread their delicate flowers just like Jasmine has for millions of years?

Definitely not a major job center for tech
