Originals are far superior to the processed Internet Archive versions.

eg The Batman Animated series on there is usually sub par, low quality.

Uploading something? Expect it to be processed no matter the format.

> Ironically this is also why there is so much existential fear about AI in the media. LLMs will do to them what they do to primary sources (and more likely just cut them out of the loop).

Maybe.. not. LLMs may just flow where the money goes. Open AI has a deal with the FT, etc.

The AI platforms haven't touched any UI devolution at all because they're a hot commodity.

> Quite why the judge is so concerned about the rise of AI factoring in here is beyond me.

Maybe because this remains Googles biggest threat. I'm still more impressed by other models. Public ones at least.

So much for losing Chrome browser. Was there ever reality to this to begin with. Or was it all extracted sensationalism.

> You can always move to new town and start again.

This is accurate. And taken for granted in the US.

Someone once remarked to me: "I think it's cool you can just pick up and go anywhere (on a huge scale)" - They were from the Netherlands.

>I don't think considering his proposal might have damaged NASA's reputation. I also don't think the interstellar object is an alien probe, I just was excited we got a chance at looking at an interstellar object, that may be totally unlike Solar System objects, and possibly far older. Crap?

There's one image on the NASA page and others. Any more links?

Hushmail was great for me, until I couldn't reclaim my inbox after the subscription expired (but there's no free option).

Other services deprecate or get weird. Hopefully Proton keeps going in the good direction.

Definitely not acceptable, sounds like not good thinking. Consumer protections might exist in the US for this.

I love Proton but the idea of subscribing and committing to renew annually is a turn off. There's probably be a huge market behind the psychology of this.

They should offer a lifetime option for the core service and monetize the add-ons and new features.

1 US worker = About 3-8 outsourced workers. Somewhere in there the logic of hiring many US Workers to manage said advanced customer service (they'd have to native speak English) is not worth the cost of the department. Even with the fee.

The META rebrand was pretty brilliantly done. The makeover far outweighs this sort of sentiment for now.

> As of mid-August, Meta had successfully hired more than 20 researchers and engineers from OpenAI for the effort, at least 13 from Google, three from Apple, three from xAI and two from Anthropic for a total of 50-plus new employees.

The rest of us look for cultural fit.

If Emacs hardcodes the start and end times then a (single) benefit I can imagine is that QuickTime's UI (the typical go to) can be mildly frustrating if 100% of focus isn't on the screen. Somehow they manage to make moving a [] annoying. Indeed there are more options though.

The foundries they're putting together for future manufacturing are just hoping customers will comes. Intel needs partnerships because the brand isn't the same since the core founders and builders are long gone.

They produce nice material. Sometimes they're so focused on frame-rates it's annoying though.

There are 5 steps for every one 1 there once was for any given operation on the platform. The next offering will be 6 steps.

Aggressively marketing the imitation meat is what opened up market share for the products in the grocery marts and how they got on menus. Marketing up ramp for subpar products is too common.

The US is primed for this. Buy the market, invest a lot, then invest less in the product. Hate to say, RFK may be on to, some things. Plain Heinz catsup in Canada makes the US versions (plural) just seem sort of gross.

I'd guess these starting prices have likely gone up 5%-7%. And that the price to build, has gone down the same amount.

Which raises the bigger issue at hand.

We found AI is surprisingly good at programming (when no one thought this would be the frontier) which says a lot about the specific nature of the tools.

You can for example, do minimal input (some peppered phrases) and see a rich answer. More specificity and research on your own, brings it out to play. The designs appear to level their self to your own capabilities.

X-Code app draws attention in a certain way, Finder right onto the right side of the 'face'- I find the shifts distracting. Consumers should feel trust though.

Also, letting go of our 2000-2015 experience is a must for me. Because that's the move to success. But the processing changes from Mojave to Ventura in audio-video are also very noteworthy. Media previously was more genuine to enjoy, imo now there's a deterrence factor worked in.

Slightly off topic, but I only recently discovered Samurai Jack. I found it through some old VHS archive recordings. The care with the animation is unreal. I'd love any links or suggestions for where to find more authentic versions. Commercials welcomed. The original airings have a different feel compared to the heavily processed versions on streaming platforms and archive.org

A web UI that enables collecting of the dollar amount of the local major utility providers monthly bills (Before engineering I worked in marketing research). I am concerned about the data collecting part, not because the local consumers don't seem okay too provide it (there's outrage) but because I'm not working and don't feel confident in publishing anything live. State government only publishes the annual yearly rates. There's no transparency on the rest.

> Given that the CV pairs were perfectly balanced by gender by presenting them twice with reversed gendered names, an unbiased model would be expected to select male and female candidates at equal rates.

When submitting surface-level logic in a study like this, you’ve got to wonder what level of variation would come out if actual written resumes were passed in. Writing styles differ greatly.

I hear you. When a pattern of agreement is all to often observed on the output level, you’re either seeing yourself on some level of ingenuity or hopefully if aware enough, you sense it and tell the AI to ease up. I love adding in "don’t tell me what I want to hear" every now and then. Oh, it gets honest.

Why are they using AI to heal a psychotic break? AI’s great for getting through tough situations, if you use it right, and you’re self aware. But, they may benefit from an intervention. AI isn't nearly as UI-level addicting as say an IG feed. People can pull away pretty easily.

From what I know the entire purpose of the Macbook "Pro" line is literally that they're made to be modular. They were at least. I maintain a 2011 Pro. The build quality is noticeably nicer than the cheaper chassis they produce today. The experience itself is actually much nicer too, smoother, feels better. Added, modern displays have great resolution. But the aged units carry an interesting and rich in depth projection ability you don't find today.

I laughed at this. Having a lovely fixed and unmovable perspective on many pursuits is so engineering. Coding, programming, etc, shapes our communications skills and our outlook in interesting ways. Dating truly benefits as well.

Yes their end game appears different. Meta has created a new archetype.

The image makeover is unprecedented for a CEO.
