Ignore the topic of this thread. I literally didn't know what to call it. What everyday thing will seem primitive in 20 years? Steering wheels on cars? Or how about pens? P.S. Nevermind. The system yelled at me for having a title too short so I expanded it to basically …

I'm currently evaluating whether to use a ready-made software solution for my upcoming project or develop everything from scratch.

Here's a question to stump you: What standalone software do you use that you purchased a license to outright? No subscriptions. Nothing in the cloud. No new versions that come out every 12 months and urge you to repurchase.

Back when LLMs first entered the scene a few years ago, I was very apprehensive about hallucinations. Specifically, AI-generated text tends to speak very confidently, and it comes across as being in-the-know, when, in actuality, it fabricates so much. This can lead to severe repercussions in certain circumstances where someone …

Do either Safari or Firefox have near-term plans to implement container scroll-state queries? Google AI says that Safari supports it, but caniuse.com clearly says it does not.
