This reminded me of Youtube videos that are one stock video after another: the emotional moments didn't register as real or have a feeling of continuity as the story unfolded. Amazing, especially for $500 - but this feels like Fiverr P

I don't know if it is different with Apple silicon, but I had a 2018 MBP that overheated and the Apple Store replaced the logic board and upper case assembly rather than try any sort of repair of the existing board with heat issues.

It is wild to me how much money Apple used to spend on ANYTYHING but a fast internal hard drive. The SSD-only days have at least got us out of the slooooww 5k rpm drive nightmare that was every consumer Apple device for decades.

Why would your go-to explanation be an air filter service that no one in this tangent has mentioned? This seems counterintuitive, but then you also say the only other option is placebo so I'm not sure I follow from the limited line of

I don't think it is entirely mental - I had thought the same, but I recently had a very cheap rental car for months, so long they called it back to the shop for an oil change and then gave it back to me... that car drove SO much better

Despite LLMs being decent at generating text (which has loose, messy rules), applications like PCB layout and coding with clearly-defined constraints make much more sense. Having well-established, unambiguous rules that must be followed for

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm a decent enough programmer and have noticed weird, unnecessary code sometimes being added along the way as I've worked with AI during coding, so I was curious if you had any concerns abou

I think the biggest risk to Google is that searching by voice through speakers, smart devices like watches, etc. becoming more used breaks the habit of "just Google it" That said, paid Google Gemini with "Deep Research"

I liked the article & the comments and replies below it. One comment points out the value of the 80/20 rule, and I do wonder... do you get more benefit by doing 80% all the time or "100+%" all the time?
