Why do everyone assume they are subsidized? When we seemingly have no idea what it costs? Maybe average subscription is breaking even and token spend is pretty much pure profit?

Case in point, claude code seems hell bent on increasing usage at all cost. Which makes sense in the growing phase (get people hooked) but it does not make sense given the hardware shortage. So, which is it?

Sure but you can do it easier and with more control with any other type of brake,from the basic V-style rim brakes to hydraulic disc brakes.

Large development team... that is exactly the problem. The more effort and code put into it the worse it gets. Peak web was one webmaster per site, doing it by hand.

Supporting the most closed option is worth it because...?

The hardware is not even that good. Sure, the CPUs are nice but nice enough to actively support the most closed up system? Not by a longshot.

Exactly, and it also proves that it is not about limiting bot access.

In other words, no point or value in selling yourself to apple.

> You can make arbitrary email addresses at your own domain, but anybody who feels like it can trivially automatically detect that those are all you.

You assume that the domain is used by one person or what?

Also, the point of these is typically to prevent spam. Noone is going to spend a fraction of a cent or second to try and figure out who is behind the adress.

We haven't had dense interfaces for decades at this point.

Still, even with the best intent what you suggest is still annoying. Okay, you got my attention, i now know what you wanted me to know. Are you going to nag me for all eternity?

That seems weirdly specific?

And if you are counting things it should be trivial to note the position of your items and not double-count them, no?

If on mobile, ticking "desktop mode" in your browser usually goes around that dark pattern.

If you ignore the price I'd be with you. But at current prices they are nothing but a novelty.

From other anectdata the apple watch seems to just as bad as everything else.

We just don't seem to have any idea how to track sleep quality even with better devices than just a watch/whatever. Even a binary, is the person I'm attached to sleeping, is hit and miss. And with that in mind you can be pretty sure that the sleep stages etc is even worse.

Sure, but we can't do sleep tracking well. Todays devices mostly guess and map to typical patterns. Might, might not, work reasonably for you. But chances are that if you want to track your sleep because you suspect irregularities then they are about as useful as a potato.

Depends on what you mean, they have more redundancy which means that the yield can be much higher.

If you are self-hosting, sure. Otherwise, mostly no.

Truly doubt that. Sure, but if they are making a mistake due to dark patterns then it is another thing.

This thread does indicate the latter.

I don't buy that, there is no reason for 99.9999% of sites to use cloudflare.

The "reason" to use cloudflare is hype.

Okay, sure, but that's a very narrow and specific angle though? Not sure I could deliberately rotate the ball in that direction even of I wanted to.

Especially given the limited use kensington uses rotation for (at least to my knowledge)

Why does it require two sensors?

Tesseract is super picky though often failing pixel-perfect screenshots...

So, maybe it can be tuned for your usecase but with that kind of investment €3.5 for 1000 pages is a bargain...

Yeah, that should be reserved for apple and google! /s

Well, you'd think so but given how slow and resource hungry the ones written in javascript are it makes a lot of sense.

Sure, but all projects are version controlled? You only mount the project dir so you can only loose your current changes - which is the same if you copy...

What is the advantage of copying rather than a bind-mount?

the whole concept of having cars with that are almost capable of self-driving is utterly insane, the very least you'd need special training. We are not equipped to deal with something that works brilliantly most of the times but might kill you for no foreseeable reason.

I don't think you have to look far nor hard for a mail-client that doesn't communicate with the developer because you send an email...

Universal Clipboard, AirDrop and iMessage - is that really the value add of apple? iMessage... do we really want to encourage that behavior?

It only adds discoverability for the things that fit the screen. In other words, you have to make it simple. I.e. the lazy way to make something "user-friendly", do as little as possible and force the user to adapt to your ways instead.

It's not hallucination. The prompt lacks details and given that an AI or a human has some artistic freedom. After all, that is why current AI is usable at all.

So, the argument is that it is popular? I'm not arguing against that...

That people trade anything for even just perceived convenience? That isn't news either, but it does explain a lot of the sad state of affairs we are struggling with today.

Yes... that $25 if they manage to get even that before it is blocked I can live with. Loosing my phone, even if they can't do anything with it is a whole other scenario. Now I can't even get home.
