It's amusing to me that big friendly Google that started out giving massive amounts of storage away for free (effectively unlimited at the time) has been on a kick to roll that back.

I don't think anything happened regarding customer support. Culturally, Google on the non-ads products was always "we have a billion users, it's free, we're super smart and invented SRE, so we don't care about suppo

Strictly speaking, this can't be true because I have purchased apps (that have been around for years and are still supported) on the Mac App Store that are not available any other way.

It also exists because it's a low friction way for app developers to generate revenue for their app.

I wish I could install more apps outside the App Store. There's a few apps I came to rely on that are only available via the App Store, and when I switched jobs to a company that locks down App Store access, I could no longer use them

I had a roommate in college who used to stuff containers of beef into produce bags full of kale, and weigh that on the self-service scanner.

Agree, unfortunately Chromium is one of the killer features of Arc.

Yeah the writing is terrible. It also doesn't specify who "we" is until the last paragraph. There's many entrepreneurs in this country that don't have as much wealth, they just aren't in tech.

Meanwhile, Dems pissed away billions trying and failing to build things like high speed rail, rural broadband, and EV charging network. Somebody needs to figure out a way to make this stuff work.

You've never seen evidence of cultural/tribal signaling on the left? Never seen an "in this house" sign, somebody wearing a mask outside and alone/spread out, NPR tote bag, "Anti-Racist Baby" book on the s

I think this analysis ignores that the Republican party is winning because they expanded their coalition outside of their base of religious and upper-income voters. Trump pulled in lots of either non-voters or formerly Democrat voters. That

Unfortunately, it is not common sense. Innocent until proven guilty is a very modern concept and still not practiced in much of the world. Human nature is tribal, we trust (or don't want to contradict) members of our groups, and we get

that's the point - learning how to train the models and run them at scale is the "infrastructure" funded by the bubble that will be useful after it pops.

Data centers and fiber optic connections across the world.

The models themselves, and methods and knowledge used to build and use them, are part of the "infrastructure" being built.

Can you elaborate on this? This past term, in the Loper Bright case[1] the Supreme Court took away a massive amount of power from the executive in interpreting statutes beyond what Congress specified. [1] https://www.scotusblog.c

Yes, and "prestige tv" took off, shifting a lot of viewing to 100 hour TV series.

Reminds me of when I asked Gemini how to do some stuff in Google Docs App Script, and it just hallucinated the capability and code to make it work. Turns out what I wanted to do isn't supported at all. I feel like we aren't proper

The main point was decreasing the transfer time - if rsync -z makes it short enough, it doesn't matter if the indices are there or not, and you also skip the step of re-creating the DB from the text file.

In some circles, there is social capital to being part of some marginalized identity. The autism spectrum is so wide that it's pretty easy for many highly functional people to slot themselves onto it somehow. Then many of these people

Sure, you can edit or misquote many speeches to make them sound like Nazi propaganda, or simply assert they are similar to propaganda, but that itself is also propaganda.

This inspired me to check out my YouTube.com home page, and I have zero videos. I just see a message telling me I should turn Watch History on.

RFK never said or implied that all people with autism are non-functional in important areas. It's true that a significant number are, and it's really strange and perhaps cruel to see people trying to erase that. And it doesn'

Any suggestions for someone who wants to get started on a similar but less ambitious project, ideally without any soldering? Ie, more software and breadboard-style wiring.

"debunks the myth" => "makes a case" And the question begging of assuming that equality is a desirable goal. We also need to look at the cost of equality (of house sizes?) -- if it requires authoritarian government, t

I wonder if OpenAI would monetize the browser primarily by collecting user data and advertising, or by pushing ChatGPT subscriptions.
