The person you responded is agreeing with you.

Lately the only useful thing I get out of it is Auto Unlock my phone when I’m wearing a helmet and gloves.

Their in house philosopher thinks Claude gets anxiety though

I mean it’s just a sunset on some sand. You can get that all the way from Chile to Alaska, not a big deal.

It does, because factories don’t have unlimited production capacity. See what happened when Covid hit, or when interest rates go down. Used car prices go up with it too.

Do you think this will continue growing if we stop struggling and posting our findings on forums?

A very even 45 degree cut, like the cut to lift the screen but much shallower would look pretty cool. Maybe 2mm wide

Isn’t it an adjective on both? Being conscious because you have consciousness. Otherwise you’re repeating the same thing. I’m happy because I’m happy. I’m pink because I’m pink? Disclaimer: ESL

My 30000+ person Windows centric company has discovered that Macs are not only cheaper to order (than the 2.5k HP laptops they’ve been fed) but people don’t complain about the fans as much, batteries last longer, speakers are better and screens are brighter, so there has been a massive wave of Windows to Mac transition.

It went from web devs and designers to now HR, admins, anyone. I don’t think we’ll swap Active Directory just yet but I would’ve never thought we’d do this. We’re an old school slow red tape wrapped industry.

Cloud too, Azure could not secure our business even though we’ve been Microsoft everything. We’re in AWS.

For a long time I used my Gmail account as my Microsoft account somehow. So my login ended in Gmail.com. At some point like 2015 I realized it had been merged with outlook or something and now I had an outlook mailbox that had a Gmail domain, along with my actual Gmail mailbox. I got locked out once and it took me days to figure it out. Got so confused about it I decided to close that MS account and get an outlook one. I don’t even know if it’s active or what it was for anymore.

Because I get benefits from it. With Apple I get a way of managing my devices, seeing location, remote erase, sharing services with family, storage, all integrated in a way that is there if I need it, out of my sight if I don’t.

What benefits am I getting from a Windows account? Syncing my profile picture? OneDrive is a mess I rather not have, is never happy.

I know the logic on what I’m about to say is not that tight, but… For some reason, creating an account with Apple doesn’t feel like opening a can of worms like it does with Microsoft.

I know exactly what I’m getting when I open the one with Apple, and I have visibility into it from the settings of every device, feels secure and I never get emails or spam associated to it.

The Microsoft account is another story. It’s a black box, I don’t know what they are collecting, I know that even if it looks like a square today, it’ll be a hexagon tomorrow, and a triangle the next day. They’ll change the product name, merge with some other crap, etc. to access it, you’ll have to remember what the service was when you created it. Live? Hotmail? Outlook? Are they the same as my windows account? Who knows.

It’s just not trust worthy IME. I don’t have an issue with creating an account, I have an issue not knowing why I need it or what I get from it.

If anything I feel more in control of these agents than the millions of LOC npm or pip pull in to just show me a hello world

My first pc was an e machines… in Argentina. It’s the reason I ended in IT lol. It would never boot straight into the OS. So many random issues. I think we got it in 2001. Pentium 3 700MHz, 64mb ram, onboard video, usb, which if I forgot to disable in Device Manager before turning it off, would not boot. Aaaand windows Me, Amazing stuff. Ran better with 98.

We didn’t have internet, hooked dial up to it in 2004. No computer books either, all trial and error. Also couldn’t hire a tech to come because it was too expensive for us. My parents didn’t know shit about computers then and don’t know shit now. But hey tinkering with it got me pretty far. Sometimes I wish I was unaware of time passing as I was then and I could spend hours just clicking icons in system32

Why do we need to regulate how companies make their products if people are not forced to use them or are not a basic necessity? Don’t like Netflix? Too expensive? Don’t buy it. Vote with your wallet.

Before the big cities of Buenos Aires and Rosario in Argentina got somewhat dangerous, this is what life was like. I remember in the 90s my family having mate and cookies in the afternoon outside their home on the sidewalk and everyone else would wave in and out their homes doing the same. It wasn’t like a cult where everyone did it at the same time, it would vary. Kids would meet after school and run around for a bit, decompress from sitting all day. It was nice.

That to me is amazing. I would not pay that much for this and I guess I project that on the user base

I’ve ran the numbers and the APIs I have to pay for would be more expensive. I’ve tried caching the data which works to some degree but still a negative unless I really degrade the experience

You don’t know anything about my app though. I just couldn’t believe that many people would pay this subscription to keep it going. I’m not trying to make money, I just don’t need it to drain my account

How does an app like this make money? I made an app that I simply can’t promote because it would bankrupt me. Every person I share it with thinks it’s genius and been using it but if it ever hits critical mass without me knowing it, id be those guys with the “my cloud provider reamed me overnight” posts.

But natural evolution is also selective. Animals choose their partners based on looks or features, they eat the fruits that look the best, spreading those seeds, and bees go to the most colorful flowers. Same thing we do

Isn’t nature genetic engineering then? Amazing genetic engineering nature?

What have you encountered instead?

I think you're missing the point. The conversation is not about what students give the professors, it's about how students learn. This obviously requires someone that wants to learn.

“That kind of drop” makes it sound like they’re doing something wrong. The EPA test is done at 55, so it makes sense that you get the same number under the same conditions of the test. And since energy usage is exponential vs speed, anything faster will show fast. If they live in hilly and curvy, add that to the math and you’ll find that it’s more likely that you’re the odd ball and will be asked “how slow are you driving to get that kind of mileage” instead.

Don’t know where you live but it’s rare for traffic to move at 55 in many places. Either in city 25-45 or 65+ highway.

It is totally legal and fine to drive the EPA 55mph in places where traffic normally moves at 70, but must also recognize that when semis have to go around those vehicles, they cause ripples through traffic every time and increase risk of collisions for everyone.

So because a window is broken in the neighborhood you go out and smash your own?

Who builds them? Private party. What’s their incentive? Making money.

But they make it like this. They also have the power of simplifying their offers.
