Theorizing the obvious? Wouldn’t that simply be that she job-hopped to a better job? It’s easy to theorize ad infinitum otherwise

How many members of the class have abstained from using the LLMs provided by the major AI companies, raise your hands... That's what I thought. Members of the class should be disqualified from joining based on this criteria alone

Agreed. The internet would be livid if Apple Music or Hulu limited how many hours you were allowed to stream per week. Especially the users who pay for the top-tier packages that include 4K (or lossless for music), extra channel add-ons, et

I haven't seen The Menu, but try watching The Bear instead. They demonstrate this level-of-service & mentality and it's much more sincere than you think.

I was impressed as soon as it loaded and immediately said, "Yea but what about the music?". Then I noticed the sound toggle button. Absolute perfection!

When controlling invasive plants like honeysuckle using glyphosate, one of the more responsible approaches is to wait until all of the trees have lost their leaves in the fall and entered dormancy. The idea being that because the honeysuckl

It's fun to ponder how modern society will evolve if this same mindset is applied to other domains that generative AI is eventually used for, specifically sciences. If AI (art) works cannot be copyrighted, there's hope that the sa

I couldn't disagree more, at least in the examples that the author gives. Everything in moderation. Screens (and for children), particularly. The author's perspective comes off as someone who's trying to justify their questio

Are commercials during saturday morning cartoons not ads targeted at children? When I was growing up at least, it was all for candy, toys, and sugary cereal, and often had kids or cartoon characters featured in the commercial.

I mean that initially the 15% commission was only for subscription sales. Then more recently, Apple added the small business program which gave 15% commission for any sales (not only subscriptions), at least for smaller companies

Subscription fatigue is very real today, but to your point, as a business you can't provide eternal updates (work) for free. In the old days, you'd buy a new version of Mac or Windows or any software that you run on it (Office, Pa

Seems like an interesting evolution of supply-chain attacks, since this is a bit more indirect. At least when a common open-source library gets poisoned, the code transparency makes it easier for someone to notice the issue and push put a p

Everything you're describing is our current reality already. The only difference I'm noticing is that Platinum Pricing doesn't exist. In that case, that is a better future for consumers, because right now, Platinum Pricing is

The sleeve isn't packaging though. You don't throw it away after opening it - it's a part of the product. Same as CDs or cassettes.

Apple's justification seems counterintuitive, given that the commission only applies to app sales or in-app purchases. Since free apps don't pay anything, what is the commission for if not for "services as a payment provi
