Microsoft had a blog post somewhere talking about how they're using desktop rendering code via wasm and canvas to get to parity.

Don't know how complete that effort is though. Haven't checked myself.

I feel like this is less true nowadays. Or at least, less of a concern.

I have a Rivian and my 400mi range gets cut significantly (down to 200 or 300, depending on the trip) when I have 7k lbs on the back, but never enough to stop me from towing. And with good charging in the area, it's a non issue. And waaaaayyyyy cheaper than diesel.

Maybe if I was towing daily, I'd feel different. Your mileage may vary. (Couldn't resist the closer!)

Edit: btw instant torque is a game changer. You can't beat an EV on that front

This is the real solution

I get the foot gun concern. But it's true going the other direction too.

Whether or not the gun fires comes down to what you're most accustomed to

Almost entirely work, like >98%.

I might spend more AI on personal things but that would require a personal life first lol

> Some of these users are overreacting ridiculously to ai.

These are paying customers with overwhelming negative reaction. It doesn't matter their reasons.

If you want to keep your business, you listen to your customers.

I like the reference. A lot of people in tech don't realize they're actually Skinner when it comes to AI and what users want.

I spend around $10k in tokens each month, I live and breath it. But conversations with family and friends in other industry grounds me to the fact that not everyone is the same.

Listen to your users.

Like gold in beach sand.

It's everywhere. But extracting it is expensive and not very economical.

Yup, that's exactly the point.

Cowlevel commenting on that topic is (unintentionally? or cleverly?) hypocritical.

This author gives too much credit to Apple. They're not a paragon of perfect design. For example, liquid. Or the austere iOS 'metro' abomination years.

That said, I'm glad the menu item icons are gone too.

Tesla cars are great. Best EV you can get when balancing cost and quality and capability. By far.

But it comes with Elon, so I drive a Rivian.

Rare bipartisanship in action. Yay?

We have to keep remembering this for some reason.

New model comes out and someone says, "it can (or can't) draw ducks on bikes" or some esoteric thing. But it's not enough statistical power to claim anything other than a personal anecdote.

I got a flat tire in downtown today. Therefore, driving in downtown causes flat tires.

This is how Kevin Bacon prepared for the Hollow Man role

I have colon cancer. It's been a hell of a journey and my outlook is... not great. To me, this list seems practical but not profound.

It doesn't prepare you for all real stuff: you need to get ready to die. You need a plan for your trust, your estate, your funeral, and how your family will deal after.

You should have these plans in place before cancer because you could get hit by a bus. (I didn't because I'm stupid but maybe learned a few things the hard way.)

Can you elaborate on this?

It was the first limit impressed but majority of employees went nowhere near it.

Then they tightened it down again and again. Right now, it's at $2k/month or $24k/year and the model restrictions are and to go wider.

Still, most employees are not hitting the limit but enough are that there's an exception process

I hired an electrician to fix my pool lights.

He had to spelunk under the house to run new lines, cut concrete, dig trenches, and scuba (yes, SCUBA!) with tools to get everything done.

Maybe 5% of his time had to do with electricity. In my mind, I really paid him to dive into 55f degree water.

Kinda.

I use VPN most of the time. My work requires it, and I like Mozilla VPN for personal privacy. (Note: it has ad blocking DNS built in which is nice!)

I occasionally get blocked by websites or services, especially streaming apps, if I'm on VPN. I suspect they're just looking out for Amazon/Microsoft/etc IP address blocks. It's very annoying

Wait, we're the burly man?

Like Facebook, Google is for "old people" now, according to a recent conversation with university students.

(Aside: I didn't appreciate the revelation!)

That's like me pressing the 'coffee' button on my coffee maker, and it gives me an audio definition and history because I didn't give it the context that I wanted a drink.

People expect certain conventions with well established products. It's not a skill issue when a product is broken.

> It adds these // whenever anything close to tech is mentioned.

I've done this before, in what I would argue was tasteful at the time.

Good question. I wonder about the validity of these surveys.

In my experience, having lived in Japan for a bit, I would estimate the opposition rate to be much, much higher.

I didn't see any negativity in the post you replied to.

I think the point being made is that Jev is great but it has no competitive moat, and open source versions will very soon catch up if their secret sauce is just synthetic data.

(Whether or not that is true, I don't know.)

The correct term is "perv glasses"

It's right there though:
