I gave away my base spec (8gb ram, 256gb ssd) M1 air just a few months ago and it's still working fine, I just needed something higher than base spec for work but the new owner of the M1 loves it, for general purpose…
From what I can tell, it's the thing they notice more than almost anything else. I was recently shopping for a new phone and my brother, who has no interest in tech, kept telling me I need to get the one with it (I…
Off topic, but it's interesting how Recraft might've accidentally produced the closest thing to actual art from an AI model at least that I've ever seen. Is there any meaning to it at all? Is it taking "controversial…
For some it certainly is, I remember it being very controversial (especially for Pebble) at release, but it's not something I'm particularly concerned about. Considering the current options out there, it's the best for…
You might be interested in the Pebble Index 01, thats pretty much what that is, plus it's a smart ring so it's easy to keep on you, and can do local transcriptions. Downside is that it's disposable, it has roughly a…
Maybe that's how it'll end up but it's important to understand that trillions haven't been invested in AI as just another skill, but as the "skill killer". If we do settle on it being just another skill, you shouldn't…
I'm sorry to say but the business people don't want to talk to you, they want to replace you, that's what the LLM is for as far as they're concerned. Currently you're just filling the role of beta testing that…
Funny that with Bun being acquired by Anthropic, if this big bet on AI doesn't work out we'll end up right back where we started; Node. Obviously Deno will still be OSS, Bun would likely end up that way too, but you get…
> It does so because, as Keurig notes, it’s collecting data about your household in order to let Keurig sell it to advertisers. Off topic, but an odd and dubious upside to AI is that it provides an actually valid reason…
Programming as an art form always reminds me of the Einstein quote; "Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas". Both are just art forms you cannot appreciate without some understanding of it.…
That's pretty much all enterprise software though, it's pretty much how Microsoft stays in business, and even then if the question of switching is even humoured (the idea of a big company switching away from Office…
To be fair they are correct, there's a "Download TTF" which seems to be at least partially broken (cmd-click works fine, but just clicking it takes you to an error page), but you are right, the files are there in the…
Ladybird have a "no politics" stance by the looks of things, what that really means is kind of up to you. Here's an article about it further, I'm biased against it and so is this article so take that as you will:…
Well you clearly do care about my judgement in this circumstance, perhaps that tells you something? Wanting to respect others and yet jumping to bad faith conclusions about people you know nothing about besides a line…
I don't think my friend is a sociopath. Perhaps 0 interest in justice is an exaggeration, or a matter of perspective, more like an average interest in it. At the end of the day, he took a career path for the same reason…
I'll admit to having some bias against vibe coding, but trying to put that aside I think it depends on the purpose of the project. If it attempts to be an improvement over existing software then absolutely yes it would,…
I can say with a great degree of certainty that I know him better than you would from half a paragraph. Would you like to think that someone would judge your character from so little?
is Work that much better than standard ChatGPT? I just tried standard for a relatively simple task; searching through the used market for a Macbook Pro and it alternated between ignoring my requirements (which was the…
I wouldnt quite agree with that, gaming featured fairly prominently at least years WWDC, thats competing with a lot of other software and announcements for limited time. Pretending to care at an event where you can…
I don't want to speak for them, but perhaps this is a very real consequence of the "use ai or get left behind" talking point. Maybe they were effectively scared into it, and now are too far gone. They seem like a very…
As others have said there are other conclusions going both ways (though I do think most settle on as you said), though one very fair conclusion I came across is that it's not allowed because the whole issue of copyright…
Ahh of course, yeh that makes sense
I havent used Windows in years so maybe somethings changed, and far be it from me to get in the way of someone taking them down a peg, but this bit confused me: > The vendors do not remove the Windows license, and you…
Great to see Island of Dr Moreau mentioned, people often forget about that but its one of my favourite books
Classic sci-fi was far from universally optimistic, it had more optimistic pieces than we do today but I'd still say on the whole it was more dystopia than utopia. Even for its own time, the original Star Trek was…
