Wasn’t this the concept behind the toilet in the Your Friends and Neighbors series on Apple TV?

Have you tried to use this feature? From my experience it’s typically reserved instances that provide discounts for longer contracts. It feels a lot like cable TV to me. I think the interface is difficult to use but am able to get what I want from the CLI and some scripts I have aliased.

What? This is 100% of 100% of us.

Why would a 40/50 year old gamble on the outcome of a bouncing ball when they can gamble on the outcome of a political candidate they work for or a government agency response to an event they helped orchestrate?

Looks like many could be siloed this summer given the increase in fuel prices across the board. That could also be a downward drag on many industries. Even if we were able to get back to where we were 2 months ago today, there would still be noticeable, non-zero impact.

Any reason for them to do this other than altruism? I don’t think this can be regulated.

Definitely experimenting with less expensive ones. I have a few versions of my settings.json

I also wonder if token utilization has or will ever find its way to employee performance reviews as these models go up in price.

This reminded me of the shift from gambling with cash and a bookie connected to the mafia, to draft kings/fanduel to prediction markets. In the end the house always wins.

There is considerable evidence that it was not unexpected.

Remind me in two weeks?

Cave? That’s the boring company, this is the space company.

Sat through an AI demo by an AI SaaS today. It was good but the work just shifted from the left to the right.

Anyone surprised?

Honestly, making the content unavailable for anyone who hasn’t already downloaded it by blocking the entire account is probably not the worst thing. Also, family account?

If the rules changed mid competition and I lost a race to someone who had been competing on a men’s varsity team and then shortly after competed on the women’s team, it would be very hard for me to just shrug and say they beat me fair and square. That reaction is not unreasonable.

It may not justify sweeping laws, but it absolutely justifies having an honest conversation about fairness.

Yes, so I ask questions to increase my understanding? Is that a bad thing?

Correct me if I’m wrong but there are a fair number of examples of these athletes winning?

The lead story was about the Olympics

Tom and his team were cheating and penalized accordingly but likely not enough, but more than the Astros.

Honest question, you say you compete for fun, but what about the folks you beat who are competing for the sake of competition, which is a little different than fun? I am generally open minded at least in comparison to folks I encounter but I can’t square this one in my head. I am just one person with a single opinion but would like to better understand where I am wrong on this topic.

Landlines work when there is no power, which depending on where you live can happen more or less often but an important feature for an elderly family member especially if they live alone.

For my situation, telling my mom her voip phone was a landline would be problematic.

I do need some solution though, AT&T technicians tell me copper thieves are disrupting her service regularly.

For me, I think it has more to do with length of exposure. Certainly my fault. Perhaps analogous to social media use and smart phones. To avoid temptation I try to limit then restrict my usage. It seems that some people “blame” side effects of social media usage on social media companies? Is that different for you? Sometimes, it can take some time to realize you’re dealing with a more potent form of a similar experience.

Sorry, Apple audio stuff, while really impressive audio quality has made me deaf. I’ll take bad to no engineered audio quality and keep what I have left of my hearing for conversations and nature. Rapid degradation in my sense of hearing.

I see how it helps you and the company. What about investors who you borrowed money from.

Now I don’t need to copy, paste, take screenshots or use Claude? This will save me minutes per year.

Then what’s the point of AI? Pay for the code gen, pay a human to review the code gen, when the senior can train a junior and coordinate output with their incentives and performance reviews, problems largely solved.

Seems to me too low level in everyone’s stack to not have humans doing the work, especially at this stage. But what do I know, I certainly am not at the helm of a multibillion dollar operation.

I heard from interviews on the news in response to comments made by a U.S. Senator that asking for help without being included in the planning is shortsighted. It’s difficult to know why, what isn’t happening, has happened. Something tells me complete and total surrender will be difficult to objectively measure, especially in the longer term. $1b per day before boots are on the ground seems expensive for squishy outcomes.

The manner in which the U.S. was abruptly dragged in certainly warrants some clarification. Americans stranded, potential allies caught by surprise, no plan, no end game other than complete and total surrender. What does that mean. I appreciate many will have their own interpretations but objectively what does it mean.

Proves I am not AI? You’re right, fighting allergies at the moment in a tub full of OTC concoctions.

They asked Trump what he thought could go wrong. His only response was appointing a leader worse than the last. That took just over a week and now our $1b per day is going to skyrocket when troops are deployed. Trump has to focus on federalism of elections to stop from being nurtured in November. There was never a plan and he fractured his base. I am not sure how this helps average Americans. Perhaps we’ll have some conflict with Cuba soon and China enters the frame.
