2020 was a wild time. locked in at 2.75%. Going to be hard to justify selling and moving unless forced to.

I hope more people start creating their own sites and spaces. Internet diversity seems to be dying.

Add it to the pile of "if you don't own the content, it can be taken from you at any point, for any reason, and you have no recourse"

I hope this gives a rise to a whole set of new decentralized communities (or just smaller niche sites). I'm done using or contributing to reddit.

We don't live in a binary world where it's one or the other. But having more money, makes it much easier to get back your time and spend that invaluable and unreplenishable resource however you want.

lol is this a real comment?

I'd rather give them the option if possible.

Oh that's even worse. What a dumpster fire this has become.

What's the point of doing an AMA if you're not going to answer the most upvoted questions.

And my usage of reddit will close down as well.

So excited to have all that time back to be honest.

Exactly this. I know Apple didn't invent VR/AR. But they also didn't invent the phone. What they did do though is provide an amazing user experience for the vast majority of people.

I've been on the AR/VR hype train for a long time and have had many different headsets over the years. Apple Vision Pro seems like it puts all of them to shame. And if Apple can execute on this, no doubt, it'll become a household staple. And this is Gen 1. Price will come down. Apple has to get the experience right though. And so far it looks promising.

I love your 2nd point and in my experience this is where ChatGPT excels for me. I wanted to start learning Swift and being able to ask ChatGPT for specific examples on how to do XYZ, copy and paste the code, see the result, tweak, ask follow on questions, and for the most part it just worked. Is it perfect? Not by a long shot, but it's a great start.

I feel like all these widgets are just setting up the AR/VR headset which will be very widget heavy.

Out of curiosity I tried a bunch of different ways to trick it with no luck.

likely never. I had written a script a while back to easily download youtube video transcripts. In the past, I've been able to use ChatGPT to debug the script and improve it. Now if I ask any questions about the script the response is "this goes against YT ToS and I can't help you"

Same experience here. It has consistently been getting worse and worse. And seeing more and more "I'm just an LLM" type responses to queries that it used to give very good answers to just a few weeks and months ago.

Yes. Yes they are. So many companies reporting record profits (not just revenues).

But then you can have ChatGPT write your essay on a phone/tablet and you just slowly re-write it.

I think schools will need to change the way they go about testing student understanding of topics. Personally I'm excited for what this might look like and it is a great opportunity for hackers to really innovate the educational field.

Choose whichever one you/your team is more familiar with. Both are battle-tested and proven and will likely scale to whatever needs you have.

Yeah. I assumed if any company can really nail this experience long term it would be google. I figured it would take longer but with how game changing many of their products were in the early 2010s, I was ok waiting.

That waiting turned into more and more beloved products being shut down, drastically changed to shell versions of themselves, or left to stagnate, while google continued to randomly launch, acquire, shut down other beloved brands.

Yeah went full Apple instead.

I wouldn't say there was a definitive final straw. It was more of a death by a thousand cuts. Everything getting shittier and worse over time. Pixel phones originally were great, but I really wanted a great 1st party watch. Pixel Watch finally came out and it was lightyears behind the Apple Watch.

Software integration wise across the entire ecosystem as well. Google has been promising it, but Apple seems to have actually delivered it.

The Nest stuff hurts though. I've invested well over $3k in various Nest devices over the years, and to see what Google has done to the ecosystem is a shame.

I believe LG has really good software and their OLED's are amazing. That will be my next purchase when the current TV gets too outdated.

I currently have a Sony one with Android TV that I bought in 2017 and software wise it's unusable. I have Apple TV setup for all the media apps and that works well enough though.

In my household, we have decided to never purchase another Google device again. No Home Hub, No Cameras, No Pixel phones, No TV's running Android. I still have some legacy stuff that works, but will not give google another dollar. They have shown time and time and time again that they simply don't care.

For the record I used to be a huge Google fan. Had many of the Pixel phones, had Nest cameras, doorbells, nest secure, nest protects, multiple TV's running Android TV, Stadia (lol), and more.

Prenups are a thing you know?

Where's the lie?

It doesn't necessarily signal that the company's equity is in a bad position. I'd venture to think a lot of people would rather keep cash on hand in these times than locked up in a private company.

Super cool. While I don't see it being a primary way to create content, being able to make small adjustments, tweaks, typo-corrections on the fly seems like a great UX improvement.

It really depends on the terms of the lease and your habits. If you're the type to change cars often (every 3-5 years) and want the latest and greatest and to not worry too much about maintenance, then leasing isn't a bad option.

From a financial perspective, you'll almost always come out on top financing and keeping the car long term. Usually if you finance 5-6 years, and maintain the car, you can easily get another 5-6 years out of the car without too many issues and no payments. And then you have a bit of equity to put towards your next one when the time comes.

I've leased and financed in the past, but some of the lease deals I got were really really good and made sense at the time.

The fact that all 9 justices pretty much agreed that this is a non-issue speaks volumes. Justices are above the law and play by different rules.

A regular govt worker receiving a $25 gift card has to report it or could be fired, but once you get to Supreme Court, you can do whatever you want.

I've been a 1Password customer for many years. Their product is super solid. The family plan is very generous. I personally don't have an issue with them collecting some telemetry to improve the product. And they've stated they'll offer ways to opt-out.

With node, install express, and run `node index.js` and you have a full blown server.
