In Oregon the DMV is state run with all the benefits that go with it. the DMV is quiet, calm, smooth, and moves quickly even during lunch hour. When I moved back the DMV had an easy process (that staff helped me complete) to update my info

Government is wasteful and could never run an efficient [Industry]. Instead, private companies that can be efficient should run [Industry]. They will be more efficient [and turn the surplus into private profits instead of public savings].

Run local or expect some data to be used for development. These companies did not create these tools by paying fair market value for the content.

I keep charge only cables for traveling. I don't trust the USB port in whatever I'm connecting to so the power only cable comes out.

They are all USB C form factor port cables. The actual functionality being different is a USB spec/labelling failure not one of naming. Thunderbolt is also a USB C form factor/port, just has better naming and private control over

The BLS has been gutted. It's surprising anything negative is escaping in these reports.

I don't have a password manager. All the passkeys I've been asked to set up are locked within this one browser on this one device. By single credential, all the passkeys on this browser use my windows user password which is effect

and to unlock that passkey on my PC uses... my user account password. So now every passkey on my device has a single password. and I can't use this on any other device by default. My passkey is locked within the browser used to set it

On my PC I don't have a manager set up. The browser has the passkey saved, if I accidentally set one up by mistake, but it's not accessible on my other devices. How do I log in to my account if I don't have the specific devic

By design. It worked great, then they launched Gemini and moved features out of Assistant. At least Assistant can still follow basic directions like a voice command to navigate home. Gemini can't.

by selicos 1mo ago
Gemini has no idea what to do when I tell it to 'Navigate home'. Or 'Next song'. It's objectively worse at every basic command.

Another name and worse experience. Bloated, heavy, slow, bad with voice commands, and overall much more annoying to work with. One of the few things google did better than Apple was the minimal assistant. That's gone. Gemini is just wo

A $1.5Bil settlement just went in on stolen content used for training. It's arguably many times larger in long term damages especially compared to investment into those who stole the content. If an AI company can scrape in billions of

Clearly the best way to test these is a completely scientific and controlled process of prompting for a creature on a bicycle. Much like testing the fitness of a fish by making it climb a tree, the LLM will show its true colors when present

A password manager let's me use my service specific credential from any device, securely and decentralized. Passkeys lock into a specific device and seem easy until you need to use another device. But instead of being a credential you

It makes sense for a work device that is off network/domain, but then it is your primary/only means of interfacing with services. Then you can consolidate under a Windows Hello passkey or something else. The second you have a seco

Even my primary Credit Union is limiting teller roles in branches. There are still people to help, but then you have to go in person. My nearest branch is a day trip away but I can do most banking tasks at any partner CU location.

The what and why make sense. The how is poorly done. People are generally familiar with passwords but passkeys are different.

If another payment service offered the same or better protections by default with a lower or zero fee would you jump ship? Or would your bank at least offer that option?

Many places near me have different cash/card pricing from a % to a flat fee on the transaction. I've used debit cards to pay car repair bills to skip the 3% fee (sizeable on a $2500 repair). Your incentives are paid by the retaile

The adoption of standards like skills and agent setup helps a ton. Nobody wants to be locked into an AI vendor like with cloud systems in general. And companies can't hold on to the #1 spot across multiple areas for very long, so users

You're forced to document every check and thought related to development until you're wiring a manual on how to be laid off (unless self employed or otherwise critical). Which is fine. One should write quality docs and all that. B

Russian diminutives, making nicknames much harder to track for those not familiar with the culture and language. Vladimir is Vova is Volodya, same person. Then other parts of their full name may have variations depending on use.

In my experience it's more the Russian diminutives across the language that cause issues. If you're familiar with the nickname variations then it's easy to follow. If you aren't you'll be taking notes and looking up
