One of the options was always on, or always on while in work mode. I’m curious if the lack of speaker identification is a privacy thing, or a technical limitation. It looks like it uses PCC, so it may run into usage limits

As someone on a google workspace plan, where the monthly price went up to include AI features, I’m disappointed that google won’t let me sign up for antigravity development plans with my workspace google ID. To the best of my knowledge, as

I have a similar machine, and briefly poked at running a local LLM, but got discouraged after a couple days. The quality, responsiveness, and impact on the rest of the system didn’t seem worth it to me. What sorts of things are you doing wi

I’ve casually used Draw Things a couple of times (great tool!), and I did not find it beginner friendly. I remember feeling a lot of doubt, confusion, and frustration. Am I getting these results because I picked the wrong model? Or I need t

The sentence you’ve quoted actually links to a list of ways to corrupt SQLite, which I think is interesting in its own right: https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html I believe your flaky SD card is category 4, Disk Drive a

I was just reading about candy bars for a trivia night, and the internet tells me the UK Milky Way is the same as the US 3 Musketeers bar. As in, it omits the caramel. Also, the 3 Musketeers candy bars used to come with 3 flavors in the pac

Every year when DST transitions out, I say “next time we should move the cats’ dinner time gradually leading up to it”, but never remember. I now have reminders for the 5 days leading up to move it later by 10 minutes a day. I don’t know if

I’ve thought it’d be fun to find the chip used in those clocks, and integrate it into an offline microcontroller driven clock, but haven’t found the will to do so yet. I haven’t even looked for prior art, which I’m certain exists.

Ah, but that’s something different. “Agentic commerce”: using agents to buy things. I suspect there’s a different team working on monetization via affiliate programs, and it’d be early to let people just buy their way into it at CPM/CP

Servers make it easier to keep & maintain duplicate data in separate locations, which’ll be unlikely to be affected by the same fire.

Nope, I’ve never needed to know, sorry. AFAIK the amount of the “+” is dependent on payment volume, which is why the quoted page says that it can be lower cost for merchants with higher volume. It might even be possible that every business

"1% to Stripe and 2% to card companies" is the grandparent estimating how the Stripe fees that you're quoting are divided up. Stripe isn't keeping all of that "1.5% - 3.25% + 20p", they're paying the netwo

Awesome project. The video moves a little fast to fully appreciate it, but I did like how it was short & to the point. It could be fun to implement a scientific notation result display for answers that would otherwise overflow, although

It’s certainly not a new phenomenon. I appreciate this XKCD [1], with a chart of “How long can you work on making a routine task more efficient before you’re spending more time than you save” It’s not the final word, since automation has ot

I don’t watch baseball (maybe a couple games a year), but I think it could use some sound / audio, so you can have it running while doing something else. IDK if there’s an easy way for the average person to get a live audio broadcast f

I think the difference is in the scale. I think Apple’s asking you to index / share all of the data from your app. Virtually no user is going to copy & paste every single message into ChatGPT. And so I think there’s a meaningful

I haven’t been able to find a cost for larger developers. Is that published yet? Their presentations talked about how it was based on the user’s quota, with higher quotas for iCloud+ subscribers.

I don’t have the EU perspective, which might be changed by things like GDPR, but I prefer Apple’s stance that “no one should have this data, not even us”. One reason is that the data on a user’s phone isn’t solely owned by them. Some of it

They’re actively asking developers to index all the content in their apps, to provide Personal Context that Siri can use for user requests. And to create/index the actions available in the app. So, where developers comply, all of that

Sounds like Apple offered to implement that, but it didn’t fit the EU’s requirements. I suspect if you paid apple enough money, and were willing to prove that your personal Private Cloud Compute did meet their requirements, it wouldn’t be i
