I've always attributed this sort of thing to companies outgrowing any form of manageable structure. At a scale like google, each team gets so distant from various parts of other parts of the company and the management structure gets so

One thing I wonder is if this is just one step removed from 'Now we know the identity of every user so we can now have both probable cause and verified identity to arrest over statements containing speech we do not like.' " L

For what it is worth, an M4 mac mini is also like 30-50x faster. Like, legitimately.

The funny thing about all of this to me is that, compared to most 'hacking' scenes in movies, this bit is wildly realistic, almost too good. If they were like "run upload_me" we wouldn't even be talking about it.

Not just 'way', These prices are downright absurd and anyone who buys one is either giving a donation or an idiot. $2000 for the very cheapest first-gen Core ultra CPU is nuts. You can buy a used, faster XPS 15 OLED 4K for literal

Meanwhile in private equity world, they have realized that code is "piling up from 10Xing everyone's performance" and as a result they have solved it by just firing all QA, focusing only on speed to prod, killing signoffs, an

The answer really is that they were spending an amount of that money on devs who were working on tailwindUI / Plus - their paid product.

Yeah this is exactly opposite my issue with LLMs. They often take what you say as the truth when it absolutely could not be.

I mean, this is a textbook over-simplifaction to devalue an idea. Hell, with that logic, you could call all kinds of things a non-starter. "Why buy a watch, it just shows the time on my phone" "Why buy a car, I can just use

Which to be absurdly clear - is exactly what Rebble did to Pebble. They scraped the apps and are now mad that someone else could do the same to them.

by agloe_dreams 11mo ago
Isn’t EEE exactly what Rebble is doing? They embraced the the pebble community with a copy of the App Store, extended it with their own weather apis and the like, and then now are trying to extinguish any ability for Core to implement their

It is basically a amd 7640u with a 7600m glued on. All together and subsidized by the store, there is no reason to think this will be more than $600, likely closer to $500.

Who quoted 800eur? This should be way closer to $500usd or PS5 pricing. Plus the ram and storage is upgradable.

I mean, if you have seen RasPi prices lately, I'm not so sure this is true. Seems like a really profitable biz..granted, I wouldn't pay their absurd prices for such underpowered hardware. Virtually nobody should buy their $200 CM5

Honestly the best argument for uncompressed is actually nothing to do with file quality or loss - it's that Apple only supports uncompressed Fuji RAWs. You cannot preview or process lossless compressed Fuji RAWs on iOS natively but the

I meant mostly in the context of daily life tasks as a person with ADHD - so maybe a hair neurodivergent. My issue isn't that I don't wonder things, it is that indulging the wonder would interrupt me from accomplishing almost any

Oh I do still enjoy the glasses, they are actually rather incredible, even though they do not have a screen. That said - These actually do have a Be My Eyes integration - It is incredibly impressive.

Thats super reasonable - I'm a person with ADHD so if I'm asking questions in a grocery store context - I might fully forget things or take way too long to get things done - Going for a walk in nature is absolutely a much better p

Nobody actually wants half the useless tools companies are coming up with because most of the solutions are not really novel. They are just wrapping an LLM. It's kinda like what I realized with the meta Ray-Bans: I can have these thing

I'm about to sound crazy. Github's problem is that it isn't a SPA. It is a massive Ruby on rails project that is all server-rendered. Everything you do needs to be synchronous and almost everything requires a reload. A react

Definitely, Biden certainly as well. I would argue that this is mostly a modern thing. EOs were far less common in the past and I would argue that far younger presidents often were far more in control of their admin. At the very least, the
