For people already owning an iPhone, you can make it a dumb phone if you own a mac. Turn on iPhone supervised mode (requires factory reset), then create and load a profile with Apple Configurator on macOS. You can disable installing apps, j

I thought you were going to say out of pocket costs are much much higher than that. I’ll be lucky if I get a specialist for under 500 until I meet deductible of 3k+ for a family of 3. One emergency room visit and we reach it in one or two d

Removing the watermark usefulness depends on your use case. If you care to avoid detection, yes, it is useful. If you care about the best possible sequence of words, then the damage is already done once watermarked.

Didn't realize it until now, but you're right. LOC is dead, long live token usage.

Emergencies. If you are responsible for children or needy adults, and they are not with you, you better respond after multiple tries. At least that's what a regular Joe like me would do, I don't know what high in power people do.

For the owner/shareholders yes. The workers will see the fun evaporate but now they have to clean 10x cookie trays in the same 8 hours.

Can confirm. Say what you will about Tim Ferris, but maybe he was onto something when he said only learn the bare minimum to get something done and more than that is a waste (4 hour workweek).

We must not be using the same opus 5, because if I tried to generate this it would refuse based on copyright grounds.

Ugh too fucking late. What a privacy nightmare.

We already have this. We don't need Mythos to categorize images on my phone. A small dedicated model would do.

I’ve been a paying user for years, but the free tier change announcement is a sign of the enshittification to come. It means the old guard is moving away and potentially starting initiatives not in the best interest of the user. In the wors

I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed this is madness. I find it crazy to build a complex system to juggle 10 different threads in your brain, including the complexity of the tool itself.

To CloudFlare employees: This is a super interesting topic, but next time we'd rather hear from you, grammar mistakes and all, not from AI. If I want AI slop, I'll gladly have a chat with my paid $20 bucks Gemini account.

The one thing Qt is the most attacked for is the licensing. I disagree with this sentiment, it is pretty straightforward to me. There are other fair criticism of Qt, more specifically about Qt Quick/QML: the need for 2-3 languages (C++

Have you tried the Azure Speech Studio? I wonder how your custom model compares to this solution. I played around with python scripts for the same purpose. The AI gives feedback that can be transformed to a percentage of correctness. One an

Qt Widgets is fantastic, but now dated since it has not been updated for the modern world. Plus it is C++, which a lot of devs dislike. QML feels like a refresh with great ideas, bringing declarative UI and reactive programming. Where it fa

If anything, that’s their excuse for keeping it locked. “Mr hacker man can trick you to download an app and take all of grandmas money from the bank”, “North Korean hackers can tap into your baby cameras unless we gate the app installation

I presume it needs a cellular subscription for this, which is not free nor basic functionality. I’d understand a complaint for heated seats subscription, but not for remote start.

With that move to React or whatever web based monstrosity it is, it lost a lot of the existing user experience crafted over the years. Not only OS pre-installed apps are much slower, but it broke shortcuts and common sense behaviors.

If light years means not inundate the OS with ads, shove AI down our throats and redesign every app with regressed UX, then sure.

It might remind you of Crowdstrike because of the scale. Outages are in a large majority of cases caused by change, either deployments of new versions or configuration changes.

Not only leaks, but anything on the cloud is subject to be inspected by the government.

This echoes what I have thought about my career. What to work on. I've been blessed to have a good paying career in software engineering, but I've never really felt passionate about the products I work on. At the end of the day, m

I hope some are improved too. The performance boost in tools like ripgrep and tokei is insane compared to the tools they replace (grep and cloc respectively).

A lot of people dunk on Java, but its standard library is rock solid. It even is backward compatible (mostly).

Who’s this built for and what is the use case? This tool wouldn’t be useful for most (if not) all enterprise services I’ve worked for. For enterprise, you want fully featured synthetics services such as Thousand Eyes, plus an internal monit
