Depends how you look at it. You could have a couple hundred million, and then if you add a single billion you still “only” have “about a billion” the difference between a million and a billion is crazy.

You can still have a house with all that old world charm if you want. You’re just going to have to do a custom build and pay extra for it.

I completely agree, and at the same time you’ll have to convince every contractor and person you workw with that you actually do want the higher quality items, trims, etc. Almost at every turn folks will steer you toeard cheaper alternatives, because most folks don’t notice or care.

I’m not disagreeing, but it will be more effort than just paying more. It will mean sourcing vendors/contractors that are prepared to do the work too. Personally, I feel it’s worth the extra effort and cost, but I understand why not everyone does.

Pushing SSL was probably the last big tech effort/push that actually benefited users. Sure it made self hosting a little harder, and probably consolidated some tracking behind bigger players, but overall end users did benefit.

Most of what I see now is purely for their benefit and users don’t benefit.

While true, the latest opus model has 1m token context. Which is a lot more than the previous 200k limit. Hard to fill that up with regular work, but easy if you try to oneshot a whole product.

Believe it or not in some ways they are better and more flexible and in other ways they’re more limited. Basically they are totally separate situations to the same problem.

Since they now have the same owner, you’ve already identified which one is gaining features and fixes.

Looks like a solid release, excited to try out the csp feature. The new collections api seems cool.

While I agree with this, and I’m not defending skirting regulations, before rideshare apps, taking taxis was an awful experience. At least half the time, if you try to pay with a credit card, the machine was “broken”, if you wanted to get a ride at a specific time you had to call ahead and hope that a taxi would show up.

Rideshsre apps forced regular taxis to up their game and provide better service, some did and now have their own apps.

I think this is more about having a human oen the PR and changes than anything else. This way a person takes responsibility for the code as opposed to an AI.

This seems reasonable to me, and not opening the flood gates for AI slop.

Slowly I turned.

He was perfect for Boyd in Justified as well. Very under rated show, in my opinion, but very well acted throughout.

I think it could be, but the implication is at issue. It’s not like we need to update text books to say Jupiter isn’t the biggest planet anymore. It’s that we need to update the new versions to show how our improved measuring has allowed us to refine our knowledge.

Agreed. They have steadily added new features that don’t bloat the experience. It’s just a little too constrained for my tastes, but the rest of the Polish makes up for it.

Same here. It’s very smooth. I wish there were a few other customization points, I’d rather use my own weather app than the built in one, and I do, but then end up with different forecasts as they use different sources.

Minor complaints, but still a little friction that could be solved.

I mostly agree. It won’t replace people directly, but it might let companies do more with fewer developers.

Not to say they don’t need anyone, but maybe they get by with 75 instead of 100 developers? Hard to say where that falls because the outcomes if ai usage are so variable based on skill of operator and the target codebase.

To be fair, they did build a customised rig to aim, using real mirrors to simulate a perfect case scenario, and still failed. While they did mention those issues, they did try to replicate the results pretty faithfully IMO.

While you are absolutely correct, it’s the fact that most people don’t make this choice and it has shifted societal expectations.

I encourage everyone to disconnect as much as possible. Enjoy the wonderful things technology offers us, and equally enjoy breaking free from the chains it introduces.

You can eat healthy, cheap, and good, but you only get to pick two most of the time. Avoiding ultra processed foods is worth it.

I use this system, as well as shopping the perimeter of the grocery store, in my area the outter edges of the store are either fresh produce or refrigerated meat, eggs, dairy.

Anything that’s down one of the many rows in the middle of the store is likely ultra processed to be shelf stable without refrigeration.

Good tip on prepping the drain pipe traps, that should help. I’m sure there are better options if you have the right tools but as a stopgap solution, it would help lower the freezing point and gives you better odds of not coming back to a cracked pipe.

Bears fan checking in. We saw our team perform 7 miracles this season and then it looked like they were gonna do it and 8th time. Just when we had started to accept that might just now how they are.
