A big driver of cassettes then was the write ability, unlike 8 tracks. You could borrow your friend's new vinyl album, pop in a new cassette tape on your hi-fi, and record a copy of the album to the tape. Of course the Walkman then mad

Same with the 'doing AI right' Netflix example for me. Showing me the same exact recommendations in each tray but in a different order isn't helping.

Yes. There is an Iberian connection that explains Irish folks with dark features, but that would be from Neolithic farmers migrating there 5000 years earlier.

Agreed that was a good one. They used so much Kahlua that it caused the price of Kahlua liqueur to rise at liquor stores because they were buying so much of it. So they stopped the flavor.

Fortunately the gas pump is a primary news source for a lot of people and it doesn't lie!

Yes, back when Brador beer was available! That was the main draw for me and friends when we were that age :)

Also in greater Boston and had the fortune to do a family trip to Bermuda in that era. One more possibility not mentioned in the article is that Bermuda could have also 'lost its crown' as a popular destination for New Englanders

You could just put your website content behind its own chat interface. The crawler would just see a form input for a prompt.

What a blast from the past. I completely forgot that I was a The World customer way back when.

2001 affected tech mainly, so a lot of folks went to other industries still hiring. And 2008 affected other industries more than tech, so the inverse.

Ha, resonates for me. I wonder if a solution is to pitch the APIs (or an MCP) to customers at the same cost as cloud solution and tell them to vibecode away on top of it. I guess that's IaaS.

Just another 80s trekker passing along a hello. I had the same experience as you describe nearing the top of Kala Patthar. Trekked outside of Pokhara too but did not do the circuit. Maybe we passed along the trail though ;)

The comments on early Google circulating value resonate. As a web developer then it was great to add free Google services that enhanced my site/shared revenue (e.g site search, adsense, maps, analytics, etc). It's what I see reall

Along these lines I wonder how many people have been able to do triathlons for multiple decades (started in their 20s and still doing in 60s). This impressive woman started late and wondering if that gave her an advantage relative to joint

I'm here. The Front Page doesn't seem to change much intraday (to me) and feels heavily moderated.

This seems like a big shift for OpenAI into an enterprise applications vendor to me.

It's optimized for the seller. The sales person that can actually determine good fit/bad fit can't also be making 100 calls a day. The BDR making 100 calls a day cannot determine good fit/bad fit on their own on the firs

It all started with Evel K. in the 70s I think. We'd see him on Wide World of Sports, get his cycle jumping toy as presents, etc. Everyone started building wooden ramps to emulate Evel. It was actually a lot of fun so long as you didn&

I'd say it most certainly killed the sort of dedicated small print classified ad publications you'd find at store checkout counters. But maybe those small pubs like The Want Advertiser (in Boston) were few and far between.

Yes. It was the only time and place to see cartoons as a kid then. Missed Saturday AM TV? Gotta wait until next Saturday AM. As for ad effectiveness, wow, every single kid in your class saw that new HotWheels car advertised.

In speaking with my republican father in law on his opposition to universal healthcare, it dawned on me that he views it as a sort of zero sum game. If he has healthcare today, and then universal healthcare offers it to folks that don'

Yes I think so. People who have <other skill> can now more easily add basic coding to their skillset using AI tools. Perhaps AI gives the developer other skills too but maybe less of a force multiplier given their role.
