It’s not a huge leap to imagine it’s happening here too. AI companies are offering huge sums to influencers to promote their products across a bunch of social channels - https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/06/google-

First time i've had to enable "reduce transparency" on iOS. I have near perfect vision, btw.

I think 2ys is the "been here long enough to show commitment and deliver something sizeable, but now ready for something new" period of time. 3yrs seems a little too long to stick at something to signal the above.

I think it's being overhyped by those who fall into either of these two categories; - financial incentive to do so - feel the barrier to entry for "coding" is low enough for them to "build"

Nice, thanks. Making similar strides myself. Moved over to a Framework machine (which has been surprisingly pleasant) with Linux (also not too bad as a desktop OS in 2024) - coming from an M1 Pro. Photo's is my current sticking point t

Have you "de-apple'd" your life in anyway so that you're at least not helping to finance the illegal app store shit?

I had a R2 also and was thoroughly disappointed with it from an e-reader perspective. Not easy or straightforward getting files on the device and so few file formats supported.

That's interesting, i've just switched to using one and haven't noticed any discomfort, yet. Are you laying your wrist flat when using it? I could see maintaining a fully pronated posture leading to wrist aches over time. I t

I fell into the trap of watching some clickbait'y YT videos and this one [1] stood out, with a specific demonstration of solving an AoC problem from the 2023 problem set. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-6TmHdW7uM

Are AoC and LeetCode still worth it?

This is a great point, one i'd not considered. People realise the AI capability is limited by the quality of the data used for training, so work out ways to collect better quality data and keep pushing on the LLM architecture as a path

The Wu brothers burned a lot of their credibility by lying over Devin's capabilities. These are smart folks, it's disappointing they were grifting so hard.

I've been thinking about this too, perhaps it's my age (43) and the fact I vividly remember earlier times. If I were to pick an inflection point, a point at which the internet started going to shit, i'd say it was around 07&#

completely agree, this was peak iPhone. The killer feature was the Aluminium back, a superior material for the back of a phone case.

Just as a counterpoint. The previous CTO of the UK NHSx division spent many years working for a major UK retail and online sports betting company.

Choosing to share some of the upside in business growth with those employees would mean they're likely fully 'bought into' the mission then.

and they're licensing it for LLM training purposes. It'll only make the LLM output even less trustworthy. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/02/reddit-has-already-booked...

I sympathise with your predicament. I'm in a similar position facing a somewhat similar quandary. A question I keep asking myself is, given my age (early 40's), and the greenshoots LLM's actually being useful writing code, sh

On a slight tangent, have zoom ever publicly disclosed how their service is architected? I believe they invested heavily into designing their own audio/video protocols based on UDP but with specific enhancements. Grateful if anyone her

I couldn't work in a modern office without my noise cancelling headphones. In fact, as I look up from my desk, I can see dozens of engineers all wearing them. We commute into the office to sit in silence with our headphones on.

This is interesting. I've done plenty of work for LSEG over the years, and most of it was with AWS.

I've really enjoyed using this app. Does anyone have the inside scoop as to why it's closing?
