Anecdotally, my friend's mom was is a nurse at a hospital that got bought up a while ago. During COVID, her pay and the hours were awful. She left shortly after. It blows my mind how little some hospitals can pay a nurse, while others

I believe so. I'd imagine the image has to be uploaded to Google Photos as well, since most of their nice features like personal tagging require that. Part of the reason I switched to an iPhone was for all the on device stuff that Goog

Very neat use! Do you have anything public currently? Curious to see how they look. Or if you can't share at the moment, what's the art style you're going for?

I don't know much about him, but he does lots of stuff about bringing water to places in Africa and curing blindness or deafness as well from what I've seen. Not sure of the ratio of what to what.

My personal machine is a Framework 13 AMD (first gen of AMD for them) and my work machine is a MB Pro M4. The Mac Book just keeps battery _forever_ while suspended, where as I've found the Framework (running Ubuntu 24) loses about 1% a

But the sweat is evaporating now, at least. But seriously though, I think it's just due to larger market share (at least in the US), so more people are seeing it and commenting on it.

Ah yes - Mistral is the largest of the non-US, non-Chinese AI companies that I'm aware of. > The concern remains even if it’s a US corporation though (not government owned servers). Very much so, I completely agree.

For long distance trains: While I also love trains and public transit, China is about the same physical size of the US, but has about four times the population, so it's four times denser. Definitely makes trains more appealing for them

Thank you for posting these - the Bell Labs crew is just a different breed. Of course it's Pike and Thompson and the gang. The amount of contributions these guys made to the world of computing is insane.

Totally agree. I'll suffer with an additional 20 characters of typing. I hadn't even considered the other ways the article goes into, I'd always used a child logger and passed it down, so I'm a bit reassured that I haven

That's a good question. I think I might classify that as solving a novel problem. I have no idea if LLMs can do that consistently currently. Maybe they can. The idea that "understanding" may be able to be modeled with general

Is there any evidence for this at all? The EU has plenty of regulation surrounding audio recording, as other comments have said. Instead of jumping to the assumption of malicious intent, I think those make more sense up front. I don't

Great write up. This is very informative. Yet another thing I've taken for granted and hope to continue to take for granted because it generally just works and the bugs are my own.

There's also a core plugin for opening a random note. I believe it adds a command prompt (or whatever they call it) option and a little die icon on the left side.

I'm personally totally fine with incremental upgrades. It already does everything I want and it lasts for like 5+ years. I'll get a new one when this one dies and then I had 5 iterations worth of new stuff. Most of the people in m

Hey, the Boston T runs some of the time! Jokes aside, I'd like to see a stack ranking of US public transit. I'd assume NYC and DC are top dogs, but I'm curious about other cities.

Not to jump on your comment (since there have been quite a few other replies already) but just to add another personal anecdote: having been on the more senior end of a junior merge/deploy gone wrong and losing a Friday night or a week
