Finland is thought to house the happiest people in the world which I always found an interesting contrast to their more grim and hardened reputation! In 2023 too, no less than six years in a row! https://www.npr.org/2023&#x2

Another way of reading this: Meta still sees tremendous activity in Threads. Because first days of sign ups were crazy, like over a million a day. Obviously that isn’t sustainable nor expected to be. What shall be interesting is where Threa

General consensus if you ask about it is that it's not considered swimming though. I think you'd be looking for locomotion through water without frequent touch downs. This is an example: https://www.nationalgeographic.c

LLM's generally don't do math well. GPT-4 has made some strides but I have to wonder if it's using special mechanisms to support it with delegation to special training or modes. I know for a fact Google's Bing has some m

Windows 10 isn’t much different in terms of data collection. For example, for each USB drive you connect, it sends the serial number, partitions etc to Microsoft, as well as when you connect and disconnect it. And they probably know what sm

"Nobody cares about your blog." Isn't it a sign of our times when you maintain a blog only in the hope of others will care for it, more than as an outlet for yourself? Everything is a like symbol nowadays. It's not a pop

No way I’d pay just to get rid of ads (and honestly that’s all I’d use Premium for). They’ll still track me and get to my personality from what I watch. So I’d essentially be paying them AND they’d still do that. That’s turning me into the

Bard is basically a hurried GPT 3 level product. It's notoriously poor at math. Don't use it for math. Google went through hoops to help, see the 2023-06-07 update here: https://bard.google.com/updates . So if it d

Yes, I think it should be compared to GPT 3.5. Google doesn't really have a public contender to GPT 4 yet but this is what the Gemini project is intended to be, by the newly formed/reformed Google DeepMind team.

Snow Leopard was when I jumped onto their ecosystem. Let's just say it's been a ride... Already at Lion, I was starting to question their direction.

Interesting Redstone build. That’s like Windows trunk, right? I wonder if the slew of unusually many and interesting updates is due to it eventually going to become Windows 12? They already have builds from that branch though (Gallium) alth

Exactly, and the cramped version also includes the title bar of the operating system host.

Yes, and no one mentions that he's including the _host window_ of the virtual machine in the more offending version! I mean come on, it's absolutely disingenuous. The ribbon bar example in fact consumes less vertical space. A _mas

The WHY is because behind these tiny cute menu bar options lies kilometer long Microsoft Word 9x menus and submenus that became increasingly tough to navigate. It was clearly a UI element that was being pushed beyond its limits. This is why

But that toolbar consumes more space than a hidden ribbon that only shows on hover. A ribbon has tooltips too. But they aren't there to solve the space problem but the information problem.

And personally I think C# is moving forward almost too quickly, as if Microsoft has a compulsion to always introduce new features to the language with each new release, accelerating especially since post-.NET Framework. Funny how different

FWIW they are apparently working on this one but the reason behind as it is now is because it's technically an extension of Instagram.

The instances aren't comparable. It's normal to happen during extreme growth of several millions per hour. Less normal to suddenly happen to a functioning website post-organic growth for a decade.

This made me think of the ad business on Twitter which I think might be its real killer. If a community builds up on Threads (and why wouldn't it, reserving spots for 2B Instagram users?), the ad value will then probably be much greate
