The App Store is the real issue. Apple's antipathy towards developers is perplexing. The number of stories I've heard about companies having problems due to some interpretation of their policies is ridiculous. There are even horro

I'm not sure they have. When Macs came with Intel processors, everyone who wanted to play games on their Mac just booted into Windows for gaming, so there wasn't much pressure to make them work on the MacOS side. Because Bootcamp

Very cool and useful! Suggestion: Create a mailing list that anyone can subscribe to. Then, whenever you add new content, you could send reminders to re-download. Additionally, you'll have a good platform to advertise when you decide t

Almost all messaging clients are already encrypted from end to end. An additional level of complexity adds no security. It does, however, provide more attack vectors.

The solution is to stay away from poor content creators such as LTT. I'd rather want a filter that filters all videos that have '...reacts to...' in the title or certain channels such as LTT that get pushed to my front page,

You've got TikTok backwards. It transforms into whatever the user is. If you use it for a while and keep following creators you like, it will eventually learn what kind of content to show you. On the other hand, if you quickly scroll p

Meetings typically consume 20-30% of a developer's time. I don't see how AI can help there. Something like this might be possible if you're a lonely hired gun, but I doubt it. Even three projects with more than four team memb

After spending 10 minutes on the website reading headlines and guides, it appears to be something that allows people to ship native apps faster and somehow improves everything through P2P magic. But I still have no idea what it is or why it

First and foremost, that is not how the law of supply and demand works. If there is a sudden increase in demand, the equilibrium point rises, and they could have sold more at a higher price. Plus, they've always done it before in a sim

My eyes were opened when I saw the calculations for how many watts of energy a 1 C change in the atmosphere equals. It is something like the world's total energy output over a ten-year period. Think of the weather system as a huge engi

Actually, we have no idea. We don't know how much oil is still in the ground in many of the major oil exporting countries. Even though it was anticipated that OPEC would increase output after Russia was banned from the global market, t

I have access to OpenAI's GPT4, and there appears to be no significant difference from GPT3 (or GPT3.5). It looks like we are pretty far into the curve of diminishing returns already.

I can't be the only person who isn't getting it at all? The instructions make no sense whatsoever.

Yeah, meant the unit. Sorry for the imprecise language. A volt is a volt, it doesn't change. The value of a dollar changed even during the time it took you read this comment.

Money is a poor measurement tool. Unless you like measurement tools whose value changes every second. Money is a contract; no more, no less. A unit of money essentially represents some amount of goods, services, or labor, all of which ultim

"Because it builds on an instinct to search for and use psychologically abnormal behavior among opposite-sex individuals to one's own advantage." I believe the writer's premise understates the complexity of the issue. Pe

That's the thing. As long as what you do is rudimentary, it's good. For example, it can create a schema for, say, a subscription service. No problem. It'll be good. But ask it to add multi-user accounts with roles, 2fa, multi

I'm still having really really big trouble getting anything useful out of ChatGPT. Even GPT-4. And I don't feel like I've even given it anything very difficult. I described a very simple service and asked it to generate an SQ

Not sure if it's true in Meta's case (and almost certainly not Twitter's), but from what I've heard, they usually tell the key people that they are safe a day before.

1.2 C in the total volume of air = quadrillions of watts of heat energy. It's a giant engine revving up.

There isn't a single solution. With that kind of reasoning, you'll essentially end up doing nothing. Ground traffic amounts to around 20 - 25 % of all carbon output. A significant portion of the lifecycle emissions of just about a

1. It's just a pattern that repeats no matter the industry. The first round is cautious, and they get more brave once they have the data. 2-3 rounds is standard. 2. There is a lot of bloat in tech. FAANG really only needs so many peopl

Almost certainly not, and in fact I'd expect to see more tech layoffs in 2023.

Same here. The sound quality difference is kind of astonishing. I wasn't expecting there to be any difference, but it's so noticable that one must wonder what Spotify is doing to "round out" their sound so much.

I've been saying this since the beginning. ChatGPT is amazing because it gives you the exact answer you want it to. It's also sort of useless after a while, because it produces the same exact predictable results every time. E.g. i
