  1. Please god let this catch on everywhere
  2. Well done. Be strong and good luck!
  3. Congratulations and I hope your article inspires others to consider them as well.
  4. A map, just put a &^%^$^#@$%! map showing the rail line on your web page. Somewhere. Anywhere!
  5. If I have to create an a/c to find out the price, then no.
  6. Very hit or miss though. And withs some exceptions like Slow Horses, their productions feel overly produced, oiled by agency crossover and 360 package deals, i.e., manufactured from script to screen. Even Pluribus has that smug sanitized gloss.
  7. Grateful for all the people here who make this world a little better all the tiem.
  8. I couldn't download it. Model appears to be comparable to Sparc3D, Huyunan, etc but w/o download, who can say? It is much faster though.
  9. THIS! Ads, misusing notifications (thank LinkedIn for that idea), Tahoe's self-indulgent UI, changes for no reason than some new designer has an idea, getting things ready for spatial, the stupid dispute with Nvidia...

    Apple has a ruthless competitive upper echelon that gets rewarded on metrics that prioritize market hits and revenue increases. Get ready for more of this.

    Obligatory I've been using Macs since the SE comment but I know Apple gives 2 damns about that.

  10. Have no fear, I logged in and tested this ... almost.

    Logged in with f'g G, picked an "experience," waited 30 sec to load(!) then picked 8 sec run from 4 / 8 / 12 sec...

    "Not enought credits." Hmm. Somehow I thought it was a demo but I guess, yeah.

    TL/DR: Nowhere close to ready for prime time.

  11. last solid MacOS IMO
  12. Yup. And the marketing department is ahead of both of them.
  13. Someone should summarize for Poe fans who don't support WaPo.
  14. I wish ratings were a slider from Skip It - Good - Great - Life Changing or whatever. Sliders are great for stuff like this. Odd comment I know but sliders are instantly understandable, accessible and doable. So, great UI.
  15. Anything is better than Amazon
  16. Definitely follow the lead of one of the most reviled companies going.
  17. Was it? He concludes that LLMs will never write Shakespeare, or create original work of that caliber, or animate an actor the way Ben Guinness could have done it. I'm paraphrasing but isn't this confirmaation bias from a guy now heavily vested in making movies? Move 37 was so astonishing the world champiion Go player, hardly known for theatrics, got up and left the table. It was considered an insanely "original" move. In every field we don't consider deeply "human," Ai has jumped light years ahead, in astonishing ways. Affleck is entitled to his opinion and seems like he's trying to understand things, but I think poetry, acting, music, they're all on the table until they aren't, for better or worse.
  18. Same. They should chart those faces.
  19. If only this were the problem here...I temporarily live in a small town in the American South and the mega-pickup truck thing is the most childish thing I have ever seen.
  20. The rich stay rich, and control our culture. Tolkien has long since left this and Middle Earth.
  21. Is Nvidia about to have an iPhone moment? Nvidia releases an AI-based phone with an assistant you talk to, no other UI necessary. It could remain aware during calls like an available assistant so you can direct it to do follow up tasks, like check calendars, etc. It could completely change the paradigm and disrupt Apple's business model entirely.
  22. They are so CRINGEY. That Mother Nature thing, wow.
  23. On a 6 year old iPhone 6 here. Solid, charges quick, no battery issues, good pics, you name it. I may upgrade to go all USB-C but may wait to see if the 15 has issues.
  24. Agreed, Shell is f'd. Increasingly I wonder if Apple is in the same boat. An AI-based phone from SpaceX with Starlink connectivity, or from Nvidia, would disrupt their entire business model. And they don't really seem to get AI.
  25. I went to a graduation a few years ago at Carnegie Mellon. Some hedge fund guy was making his biggest donation yet and gave the commencement speech. It was endlessly about him and the new building to be named after him and how he was about to own an NFL football team. There was a Nobel Prize winner seated next to him on stage. I don't think she got to say anything, but was recognized for her work in cancer research. The juxtaposition felt Kafkaesque and a bit sleazy.
  26. I wish the person at Apple responsible for disappearing scroll bars, miniature, hidden, adding useless "features" would read this. I know, there's a setting...
  27. First world problems
