There's been a huge step up in basically everything going from intel to apple silicon. It's not a comparable hardware in any sense, and as such, it really does feel like it became a paperweight? I know I never wanted to see an int

Spotify (premium) also has preroll video ads.

(not op) It cannot be used to develop applications. Every application needs to be secure in some way, and any such mention in a review triggers Fable's upsell feature.

Nope. Always failed within 2-3 prompts. The most basic REST service you can imagine. Cookies are signed, that's crypto, banned. Completely useless model.

I get ads in podcasts. Not sponsored segments that the podcast creator inserted/narrated themselves (like used to happen), but ad served by Spotify itself, injected into the podcast. Easily 5 minutes in 30 min podcast[1], though this v

I'm not complaining and it is a cool project (from what I can tell). But I think it's fair to say 200 MB memory usage is a lot without providing source code as a proof. Just by feel when you recall what were computers capable of w

Those numbers only look good in comparison.

> Yes, the code is generated. Yes, the docs are generated. I agree LLM copy is annoying and will rewrite them myself. I find this kinda funny. Fix the obvious part, better not look at the code.

Isn't it just another ad distribution platform? The amount of ads they started to push to paying(!) users recently makes me want to cancel it every day (but I'm also too lazy to seek alternatives).

Now you have a session of sorts and can limit the requests for that client, right? They can be fast, just limited in volume - regular user isn't punished.

Similarly, society decided at some point that linkedin, a completely private and constantly hacked social network, is a must-have when looking for work (not any work, but for a lot of jobs it applies). Just give them all your private data a

(as a logged-in user) I just stopped using it the day they banned 3rd party apps and I don't miss it a bit. I visit some communities still, but only on PC with old reddit. Once that is gone, I'm gone as well.

Companies, celebrities, media, even state agencies all post (only) on Twitter. At least the last one is a shame, but there's a good excuse about reach.

It's only helpful to Claude in that it wastes more tokens and costs more.

> why something is there way it is It writes out stories describing what isn't there or what used to be there. It's usually not helpful, just noise. It also likes to write it in very verbose AI-styled prose.

Market share might be more relevant when we're comparing products with different market sizes.

I reported a security bug, it was all processed very quickly and I got paid. I doubt my situation is unique. I think it would be the individual companies slowing things down, not the platform.

There's little to no incentive to buy human sized cars usually. Parking costs the same, tolls can cost the same, insurance I have no idea but I don't think size matters, and perhaps more. All of these should be more expensive, muc

One of the worst I've seen was title editorialized from original "Someone: something [x.com]" to just "Something [x.com]".

Not surprised, considering how bad it is. Even the simplest tasks trigger a safety. I couldn't imagine paying for it extra.

Just to add, the regulations you mention aren't even about AC, it's about modifying buildings' "looks". You can still install AC if you figure out where to put the outside unit - roof, balcony, inner yard, ... Not e

Outside air temperature isn't an issue. It's not like people drop dead the moment it hits 40. The problem is that after a few days of that everything is heated up through and you have no place to escape it. That's new and has

Discord threads are just an addon on top of a chat. It's not really a real discussion. And the discord discussions (or whatever it is called) are again flat IIRC? Slack threads are flat. Both are chat platforms first and foremost I wou

There's another option. Combining both threads and chronological order.
