If you’re using the Music app and putting your collection into it consider buying the itunes match subscription. This automatically uploads all your songs and syncs them to all your devices. I download ALACs from albums I buy on Bandcamp an

I bought a year sub to Copilot when they first announced it and I have no idea what I'm even getting from it anymore with all the changes lol

I appreciate the author going over the "strategic value" of both, but it seems like a desktop would fulfill the same purpose (modularity, repairability, linux) as the ThinkPad? Or, considering he obviously requires a more powerful

I've been experiencing "AI" making things worse. Grammarly worked fine for a decade+ but now since, I guess, they've been trying to cram more LLM junk into it the recommendations have been a lot less reliable. Now it&#x2

I recently switched to Kagi and it didn’t take me very long to get accustomed to it, surprisingly. Which is probably a good thing, since mostly “It Just Works.” Also I found it surprising that I apparently do like 400-500 searches a month.

Claude is amazing for UNIX janitoring. Having it go through installing torch and various other things, automatically making venvs, and so on, made me realize how much of my life I've wasted dealing with stuff like cpan and pip and npm.

I've been learning Blender to make reference objects for my drawings, so this is definitely true. It's simultaneously pretty easy to learn the basics, and also extremely daunting because of the breadth of the features lol.

Fun fact: Oracle has like 6+ LDAP/directory products, OAM is just one. Theres ODS, OIM, OID, OUD, OVD, NIS leftovers from Sun, and probably more honestly

In my teens I was in an IRC community full of various hacker/script kiddie miscreants. Some of these people I would call actual geniuses. The trajectory of everyone ranged from early Facebook employees, a CMU CS PhD, to one literally

If you look at videos of Yakut+other siberian/steppe people their cultural clothing looks pretty similar to what (native) Americans have. I think thats pretty neat.

Gemma 3 is a lot better at writing for sure, compared to 2, but the big improvement is I can actually use a 32k+ context window and not have it start flipping out with random garbage.

"I could probably go to a smaller company and be a director, but that would be a step back in terms of scale and money." This is what you needed to do. Companies were handing out Director titles like candy in 2021, but that ship h

Literally not even the same thing you're comparing. There were more processor and graphics options. Want an i5, i7, or i9 and what about a RX 580, 5300, 5500, 5700, or 5700XT?

A friend of mine went through the whole Meta layoff grinder last year. Guy is a Caltech PhD, literally any company would be lucky to have his brain available. It's surreal to me. The narrative about there not being enough "talent&

"The platforms thriving right now are all built on open source software. More and more teams are building apps in React Native rather than Swift" Isn't Swift literally open source software lol

During covid, my manager (also personal friend) was legitimately excited about trying out the “metaverse” to have meetings. Never before in my life have I immediately lost so much respect and trust in someone. It still haunts me!

It's absolutely the worst, the posts are pure cancer. But I've got like 5 of my 7 jobs over the past 15 years from LI. In conclusion, it is a land of contrasts.

It's how Urbit was designed, for example. The gentry owns all the primary namespaces, and the peasants pay rent to use their lairds fief.

Recently my team was doing a PoC on some new software and we connected it to one of our hosted databases. Not even an hour later the vendor for that database pinged me on Slack and was like “hey we saw you connected that thing, you know we
