Yeah if you treat it is a junior engineer, with the ability to instantly research a topic, and are prepared to engage in a conversation to work toward a working answer, then it can work extremely well.

Some of the best outcomes I’ve had have needed 20+ prompts, but I still arrived at a solution faster than any other method.

An overblown issue, but this reversal of the video is a way better advert IMO https://x.com/rezawrecktion/status/1788211832936861950

I think auto generated subtitles were to fulfil a FCC requirement, some years ago, for content subtitling. It has however turned out super useful for LLM feeding.

Yeah it’ll come to the Air’s and the Mac Mini at some point. I suspect it’s actually cheaper to make on the new process node (it’s the second generation of TSMC’s 3nm process), so maybe it won’t be too far off.

MKBHD did a video on this. Pretty interesting. https://youtu.be/1KEtxTQUzxY

Yeah worth considering, gets stuff done with less complexity than k8s. Teams that choose it seem to delivery more quickly IME.

My CDN bill recently went from about $5 a month to over $200. Turned out it was Tictok’s spider relentlessly scraping the same content over and over again.

It was ignoring robots.txt. In the end I just had to ban their user agent in the CDN config.

While YouTube doesn’t commission, much, content it does store disproportionately more data. A streaming site has maybe 1,000,000 hours of content. That amount of content is uploaded to YouTube every day. It’s a totally different business model.

Seems like an interesting spin on what is basically ’random’. Probably a decent way to get content in front of users that might be outside their normal recommendations.

Is it some essential new feature, no, it’s just a bit of fun to find some new content.

Safari needs a tick in “copy urls without site tracking” since ios17 and macOS Sonoma

total expenditures potentially reaching $9 billion

I imagine they negotiated quite the discount in that.

Oh great, another key to accidentally press when I’m in a game.

AWS/Azure are incredibly expensive compared to most hosting providers. If you need the services and scale they provide then they can be good value but there are for sure expensive.

I use it for free access to gpt-4 and dalle-3. Can’t say I use it as a browser though.

I had a feeling it was going to be 8/256 when it when ‘business owners’ were described as one of the key user types. It’s the laptop the IT department can give to management that’s got a pro sticker on it, without having to give them something over powered. It’s a vanity thing. Actual pro’s will get something better, everyone else is probably better off with an Air.

A 40% rise in Apple TV+ in one year?? It was already on the ‘sub when a series finishes, watch and cancel’ list, but I’d been letting it slide since there were a few shows I was enjoying. This will put it back to just a couple of months a year.

Apple already has their own thing for this https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/

Yeah. There must be tons of places that would choose Slack, or another alternative, over Teams if they weren’t getting Teams bundled into a piece they were already paying.

Good, as a UK resident I hope Apple, Signal, even WhatsApp stick to their guns over this issue. It’s the only way it will gain any traction with the public.

I wish they would offer an option without YT Music. I’m happy to pay for YouTube without adverts, but it annoys me that I’m paying for a music service that I don’t use and I reckon they only bundle it in to fluff the subscriber numbers for the service.
