But that means Windows or Linux, not macOS. There's serious trade-offs that you're dismissing because you personally don't need macOS, but that's not the case for everyone.

Actually... their MCP reflects more than just supporting AI. It demonstrates the future of closed, walled garden MCPs.

While Figma advertises that their official MCP "can now write directly to your Figma files", in reality it is restricted to create and read (as in CRUD), but not update nor delete. Currently, there is only one option to edit/update using the Figma MCP and it requires going through a third-party service with its own subscription and tiny token allocations.

Meanwhile, several developers have figured out how to use Figma's plug-in system to work-around these limitations, for a more robust CRUD MCP solution.

People will drink poor quality champagne after they've had one or two good glasses, so the analogy may be appropriate to modern software development.

I agree. I always have to do it, except at the rare restaurants. Not just splinters, but rough edges too.

I live in Oakland, and the Easy Bay has had its share of random outages without incident. The last outage was just a split-second blip, but it broke a $1k computer monitor.

I'm pretty sure it comes down to radio vs interactive music licensing. A general radio license doesn't allow users to pick the track they want to hear. They only get a shuffled playback and face other limitations like "can't play an album all the way through". Interactive licensing allows users to pick exactly what they want, including playing full albums, but it's much more expensive per track.

It appears that Spotify's engines use a mix of these licenses to reduce costs. Since AI isn't explicitly user-made selections, it's quite possible that the AI playlist generator is limited to a radio license model for playback, simply to save money (considering the additional cost of providing AI).

5x Max is the plan I use because the Pro plan limits out so quickly. I don't use Claude full-time, but I do need Claude Code, and I do prefer to use Opus for everything because it's focused and less chatty.

> you still can't Sign in with Apple on the website.

Apple forces developers to offer Sign in with Apple on iOS devices if any other sign in service is used. Apple can't force them to do it on non-Apple platforms.

> it's hard to see how we ever would have been able to create the modern forms of renewable energy in the first place without fossil fuels as an intermediate technological phase.

That wasn't the point. It's clear that fossil fuels are a phase, one that can't last forever because they're finite. At some point they'll run out. But long before that can happens, we're more likely to transition away. Perhaps not completely, but to the point that they're something like whale oil.

They did say M3, not M3 Pro. You're probably okay.

(Notice how they listed the M1 chips individually.)

Didn't we go through this same kind of uncertainty with PCs, the internet, and smartphones? It's early and we're all noodling around.

Most likely (and natural): they tested it publically and the response wasn't positive, so they held it back until they could do it better.

Our org does 5 minutes past for a 30-minute window, and 10 minutes past for an hour or longer. Works great once everyone gets it. Can be confusing for new hires.

No hypothesis, I didn't read far enough.

Ah, thanks! Looking through the Yelp pics, the price rose to $8 in 2016 and $9.50 by 2019. I expect Mission growth and rent increases have been a big factor.

SF / Bay Area is best for a few specialties such as Super burritos, specialty Thai, & shawarmas. But LA is far better for quality and taste, along with a broader range of options.

> A burrito that cost $5.50 in 2014 is now $13.95.

They haven't been that cheap since the 90s. 10 years ago, they were around $10.

I think I agree that this was 100% bad AI generated.

The 100TB Build (~$2,500) is full of errors. The math doesn't add up as presented, the HDD prices are for used drives, and it confuses RAIDZ1 and mirroring together as "five drives as two mirrored pairs + spare = ~80TB usable."

“Epic has indicated that it opposes the service fees that Google announced it may implement in the future and that Epic will challenge these fees if they come into effect.”

If the font doesn't support ligatures, it might as well be generated by AI.

> I think tools like grammarly help strike a balance between 'AI slop machine' and 'help with my writing'.

I found Grammerly to be often incorrect, but it's been years since I tried it. I use LanguageTool instead, simply to catch typos.

Curious - is your concern that the post is 100% AI generated? Or do you object that AI may have been used to clean up the post?

Good habits and reputation carry forward.

Uhm, have you opened your Settings app? It's had Apple ads for years. And the Wallet app showed a promo notification for the F1 movie.

Uhm, is crossing?? Mate, you're going to have to reverse direction and travel back about eight years to find that line.

I feel like most of this is Microsoft's fault. As MS lowers the bar for what's acceptable on Windows, Apple just has to be somewhat-obviously better.

Additionally, Google's ad-driven economy set a low bar with Android, but that platform has always been that way. Together, those platforms make it really easy for Apple to posture as being considerate.

> I think there's a slight premium for "out of town" acts

In the EDM world, it can often be much more than a slight premium. Ever since streaming took over music sales, performance fees have become the key source of income for most artists.

Socialize? Dance? Let loose?

As a wise man once said, "Free your mind and your ass will follow."

Sounds like RA could have a lot of DJs promoting their small bar gigs and day parties.

It depends on the music and scene that interests you. Most SF nightclubs are event spaces that host independent promoters of recurring events, so the music and attendance can vary. You'll generally get best results if your friends will be there and you want to see the performing artist(s).

If it's buried in about:config, it's not a feature, it's just a dev tool. (FWIW, I read that config settings may reset during updates, so at best it's just a temporary patch.)

It's like saying you have a responsive website, but only if I edit the layout in the DOM.
