  • I don't think OP was being particularly serious. There is a real issue though, the programs being made expand to use the resources available - devices are more powerful so developers can choose to be lazy and rely on the faster hardware rather than coding more efficiently.

  • I remember that being the "feature" which really highlighted the dumbing-down of the game. Work things out for yourself? Look them up? Remember what you've learned? No, we've solved the puzzle for you, don't worry.

  • It's not like it gives you questions in a particular order, it just puts a pin on the map everywhere there's missing information. For instance if your neighbourhood only had house numbers missing then that's all you'll see nearby, other places could be completely different.

  • The prototype scans open tabs locally, suggests topical names, and auto-bundles related pages. Because all processing happens on the user’s computer, the company says, neither raw content nor behavioral signals are uploaded to the cloud.

    "AI" is just a buzzword, this isn't chatbot nonsense as far as I can tell.

  • As with all offers like this Amazon are hoping that it causes people who weren't subscribed before to stat paying them regularly, and posts like this are kind of giving them free advertising.

    It's similar to recommending something like reward credit cards (where you can make money off them as long as you pay them off in full and never pay any interest), if you're sensible enough with your money then you can get a freebie but the provider is looking to profit off you messing up or forgetting.

  • Isn't that how most businesses work? If a small company gets successful enough to be big but not so successful that they become the market leader then a big company buys them for their name and customer base.
