Why does Microsoft always create so many ugly, confusing, and ridiculous product names? The worst of them all is ".Net" (which is really confusing).

Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

They didn’t even bother to change the name. What the fuck, guys.

When Google released the next version of Gemini 1.5 Pro, they called it Gemini 1.5 Pro-002 (I wish I was joking, but I’m not).

How do you complete “Ciao bell'uomo, come stai oggi, buongiorno signore, sono Jennifer Rose Louis, come ti chiami”?

It’s not just Microsoft. Look at the way top AI companies these days name their foundation models.

But I mean, Microsoft was a pioneer in this field and is still the undisputed king of bad naming.

When OpenAI released their successor to GPT-4, they called it GPT-4o. Their next model after that was called o1.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Keep in mind, though, there are only two hard problems in software: Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

And when Anthropic released the successor to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, they called it…
