I have access to effectively infinite API tokens for all models from Anthropic as well as OpenAI. The differential in performance in complex tasks is vast and strongly in favor of Opus, in my experience. I do not use the official harnesses

Oh. Yikes.

Price drops are nice. Unfortunately, the quality differential versus the competitor is night and day. And everyone serious uses the API rate billing anyway.

It was also briefly useful for buying drugs on the Internet. It also enabled the existence of ransomware. Can't go big fish hunting if there is no viable way to pay the attacker. All Bitcoin/crypto "currency" is harm wit

This is non-technical. F-Droid is horrible. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/#5... F-Droid has not meaningfully improved since that piece was written, either. No one should use F-Droi

I'm talking about enterprise software, not games. Minecraft exists for Mac, grab the Java version.

Needing VBA is more common than you think. Excel really has no competitor.

Microsoft offers Office for Mac. It's a thing they do. It's the full fledged Office suite. They see a Mac user the same way they see a Windows user - a source of revenue.

One of the things is an Acer. The other is a Mac. That sways purchase decisoons - one is a nice thing, the other one is a low end PC. I have used countless modern PC devices, including some from Acer. Few PCs have a trackpad of the level of

The trackpad on the Neo is at the level of a Surface trackpad, which is to say it is worlds better than the typical budget junk you can pick up from Acer.

I liked the way Pages 09 looked - it was beautiful - but the compatibility wasn't there. Modern Pages is hideous. And you hit the nail on the head with the whole 'Office = the document always opens/looks right' thing.

by selectively 7mo ago
Exactly. 365 gets you perfect compatibility and the 'real tools that professionals use'. Not Google Docs or some weird Apple thing - the tools that always will read the document.

Microsoft is a giant enterprise software company that also publishes Candy Crush and Call of Duty. Intune and Windows are 'nice to have' but are not the business-business. The business is 365 (which runs on Macs and is worlds bett

Smartphones are good. Addiction is physical compulsion. Nothing else is addiction. You sound exactly like the people who were freaking out about comic books and video games. Moral panic, forever repeating.

Smartphones are good and we shouldn't demonize them.

Actually, we do. That's kind of the entire point of science.

The 'headline' is false. This is specifically for unsigned applications, not for all sideloaded apps.

That 'caveat' is the actual science. So it's a pretty big deal.

There are no reputable studies showing both correlation and causation there.

If you are going to ignore 'the noise' (the actual content of my post) we don't have anything to talk about and you should not reply. Do not reply to me if you are not going to actually respond to the content of my post.

What a vulgar situation. Policy made from a moral panic and - look at that - it is negatively impacting actual people who exist.

The obvious reasons. People who do not have political agency should not have decisions made that prevent them from using their own devices in a setting that they are legally required to be in. That's not how things should work. One gro
