He left after realizing nothing was going to change (not like he’s in the leadership). Also half-joked how the good food went away. — George is many things but not a quitter (see comma ai for example). If someone could pull this, it’s him d

Index is one thing, great search over it is another. A competitive, general-purpose web search engine with its own full index is _brutally_ hard and expensive. This is the reason there are only a few world-class like russian yandex, chinese

See their revenue (number of paid users is not a secret): something around $7M annually? It was half of that not so long ago (glad, that the userbase is growing). With their current pricing they are out of their league of having any full-bl

Kagi will be dead if google and alike are dead. Buying access to web search indices is not the same as having one. (I love them but this is the hard truth)

This is not class-action. It’s a single case. > the FTC finds that only about 5-10% of affected consumers actually participate in class actions So if ballpark is at least 15-20 million macbooks per year, what is your estimate of defected

You should stop watching youtube channels. Consider the number of m1 laptops manufactured and then the number of claims. Regarding, the “fragile screens” — find me one that ended at least with a settlement and not dismissed.

Probably using reader mode by default would be less guttural experience (and you’ll have an easy fallback).

Some Soviet humor will help you understand the true course of events: A dad comes home and tells his kid, “Hey, vodka’s more expensive now.” “So you’re gonna drink less?” “Nope. You’re gonna eat less.”

Big companies secure long-term pricing (multi-year), so iPhones probably won’t feel this in 2026 (or even 2027). 2028 is another story depending on whether this frenzy continues / fabs being built (don’t know whether they are as hard a

Apple secured at least a year-worth supply of memory (not in actual chips but in prices). The bigger the company = longer the contract. However it will eventually catch up even to Apple. It is not prices alone due to demand but the manufact

I don’t know what “fragile” things you are talking about. I have both air m1 and 16 m1 pro. Neither me nor anyone I know have issues with these laptops. Of course air is for your average Joe. And even then I transcode videos on air.

The things you are pointing out are 6+ years old. Cooling is the reason intel was ditched: intel promised for years new nodes, and apple designed for new power consumption that never came. You don’t fuck with apple this way unpunished. That

You don’t need to install the runtime (this has been true for years now). There is self-contained publish option (with trimming). And there is ahead-of-time compilation option to produce a fully native binary. Though the latter is not for e

My man, if some Joe went as a salesman with 20 years of experience because every summer he sold some lemonade since he was 5, people would, well, at the very best pat one with “good for you, buddy, good for you.” Then again, “fake it till y

It’s ok. I’m even very content with Windows in desktop using komorebi tiling manager. And macos compared to windows is still far ahead regardless of recent constant shittification.

Name me premium one, I dare you. Take screens for example. Sure OLED is nice (if it won’t burn in or have terrible PWM on low brightness), but most of them in past years couldn’t afford custom resolution with great DPI: 220-250. No, those f

That’s why I specifically told what I meant: it is not about being able to swap SSD, but that for at least 5-7 years you will be able to repair it (expensively). Moreover in basically every corner of the earth there will be either authorise

The thing about macbooks is: - dead silence - unbelievably good battery life - tank sturdiness - great performance - amazing screen - amazing speakers - god-tier trackpad - repairability in a sense you’ll always find parts (albeit not cheap

No more dead ghosts guiding Adam from the astral plane. Not that it is top-notch, mind you, but much more coherent. The book was heavily edited into a more straightforward and logical narrative. The original sometimes felt like a collection

Two questions: 1. Is it normal for someone who graduated in 2018 tell “with over 13 years” of experience? 2. He quit Google but not got hired anywhere else?
