I think Meta would love nothing more than to throw a very large wrench into the works of OpenAI/Anthropic. Open models could mean one or both go bankrupt which is good for them. Nvidia sells the hardware. Microsoft sells the hosting.

So cool to get the background story on this. I remember adding the Japanese keyboard here in the US just so I could get access to emojis.

Because it will go out today anyway on the investor call or later via leak so might as well get ahead of it.

Ah damn this brings back memories… shout out if you were on #windows98, #windows2000 or #windowsxp on EFnet circa 97-01.

Really cool. Only bug I noticed was that the command line output doesn’t scroll. This was on my iPhone with the keyboard up as I was typing commands and press return.

Nice but does it really have to look like the Windows version? Can’t we imagine and have better things?

It matters because it’s the main reason why the US is able to borrow money so cheaply and why the US doesn’t get a junk bond rating.

I loved Windows 2000 so much. I was a beta tester back then and they sent me a copy in the end. Was very cool for me as a broke high school student.

All this costs money though and the eventual question is if you aren’t paying for it then who is?

We have this at our company too. I guess it’s useful but doesn’t really have a whole lot of time.

I guess what this blog post is about is that it only works if you have the ability to instinctively tell who those people are. Steve did and I know a few other people personally who do but I sure as hell don’t.

Global Entry is only when you come into the country and have to go through immigration. It does nothing for when you have to board a plane.

There is general wisdom about bash pipelines here that I think most people will miss simply because of the title. Interesting though, my mental model of bash piping was wrong too.

Well I think the problem is with how to interpret that word. The potential is there because these exoplanets are in the habitable zone near their respective stars. That’s the headline and the story: these planets could be habitable and neit

What exactly is unclear about the title? “New exoplanets identified that could potentially harbor life” The word “potentially” setup my expectations perfectly.

Orinoco was my first experience with WiFi back in my college days. I remember it being incredibly bad, with buggy drivers, and an overall horrendous experience. That was with Windows of course.

So Beeper is piggybacking off Apple’s servers that facilitate iMessages and is charging $1.99 per month to users and they thought Apple would be okay with this?

Unrolling Adblock detection? I finally caved and got YouTube premium but I’m still on the free trial.

Agreed, there is no excuse to veto this just because some future project could potentially alleviate it later. Bring relief now.

Eurail is such a mess. I dealt with it and figured out all the reservations this past summer but it definitely wasn’t easy. Lots of work to be done on their end to improve that experience.

Do bad macOS upgrades even happen that often? Been using macOS full time since about 2007 and I can’t ever recall having a bad OS upgrade. I usually go entire hardware cycles without ever having to fresh install the OS.

Please don’t do free work for google. If you have a solution for this then you have lots of options.
