I have a Garmin Epix Pro. I highly recommend the Epix/Fenix line, and these measurements / metrics are far superior to what you get with an Apple Watch (my wife has an Ultra). The differences become even starker if you are an av

These are some of the reasons -- besides being German, probably -- that it's one of just a couple of Linux distros certified by SAP.

ReadEra is pretty good, too. I used it to listen to books 2 & 3 of The Three Body Problem series last year .

I frankly don't believe those numbers at all. They've massively pumped it through integration with Instagram, and have integrated dark patterns around profile creation and follows based entirely on Instagram social networks. Yes

I agree. It's the current generation's version of what happened with the advent of Javascript frameworks about 15 years ago, when suddenly web devs stopped learning how computers actually work. There will always be high demand f

I'm curious how you put OpenAI, SAP & Atlassian all in the same category. Do you mind explaining your thinking?

Fwiw, I'm not convinced Gemini isn't using an document-based objection detection model for this, at least some parts of this or for some doc categories (especially common things like IDs, bills, tax forms, invoices & POs, ship

I don't know exactly how or what it's doing behind the scenes, but I've been massively impressed with the results Gemini's Deep Research mode has generated, including both traditional LLM freeform & bulleted output,

It's great to hear it's this good, and it makes sense since Google has had several years of experience creating document-type-specific OCR extractors as components of their Document AI product in Cloud. What most heartening is to

There are a few food companies that are partially or completely employee owned that I'd consider "very successful". But this business model is not typical and examples are rare. https://inequality.org/article

I personally don't know anyone who creates workouts in Garmin Connect. Not saying it doesn't happen, or even that it isn't common, but everyone I know is creating their workouts in TP, Intervals.icu, Golden Cheetah (or other

Fwiw, I felt the same way about the Connect app changes last year, but that went away after a couple months once they released an update that lets you customize your main screen view. Now I appreciate the much richer widgets and the abilit

Ummm... and Apple Watches are the epitome of high fashion? I don't think this is a strong argument when directly comparing these two things. Fwiw, I have met quite a few watch enthusiasts who wear a mechanical watch on one wrist and

Apple Watches are great for people who want their watch to be an extension of their phone. Full stop. Garmin watches are great for people who prioritize active lifestyles over social contact but still like to have the ability to receive no

This is akin to Fox News arguing in court that it is, in fact, entertainment and not news, despite it's name.

I spend a lot of time on YT, and less time on Instagram... and 0 time on TikTok, where I never created an account. YT Shorts exist exclusively for YT creators who want to publish bite-sized pieces of content for their audience with a much l

It depends if you're a morning person or not. I used to manage teams in India & China from the east coast and it was usually a-ok having 2-3 hours of overlap each morning. It's FAR harder from the west coast and there's

The same is true with Reddit. The default feed is absolutely awful, but the bar required to curate something individually interesting and useful is too high for most new users, given the toxicity + banality of the default.

This depends if you consider all carbohydrates to be sugar or not. At the end of the day, the refined flours in the pastry are also sugar-equivalent.

I would argue that it's worse now in high COL TX metros than it is in the bay area, because even if home values are still lower in Austin, for example, Texas property taxes are brutal compared to CA and have increased dramatically [in
