Absolutely valid point! I am equally horrified by the Mac app being also this level of bloated. Apple does not get a free pass for this shit, especially as they market an 8GB lapto…

Assuming the app even works - since we're talking weather, allow me to offer an XKCD https://xkcd.com/937/

You're off by 2 orders of magnitude if you think that a not completely incompetently coded weather app genuinely needs that kind of resources - even allowing for aesthetic choices …

That doesn't take away at all from the complete absurdity of this level of bloat. How is it not 450kB? Fine, a few high res icons and multi language support, let's make it 4MB, bec…

In the era of coding with frontier LLMs, it should take Microsoft 20 junior engineers, a couple seniors, a token budget and a month or two to fix most of this shit by building lean…

> Maybe other tablets are like that too, to be honest I'm too poor to swing the 700-1000$ for what I can cover with an paper note pad (with the bonus of being able to comfortably s…

Would a technology famous for hallucinating data often enough, and in many context unable to guarantee it won't assume and hallucinate when it feels "confident enough" despite a ro…

So they are using AI to run the company, and AI allocated all the money to AI?

For sleep aids this is often not the case. I'm in my early 50s and tried Doxylamine Succinate 2 years ago for the first time - an innocent Costco "Sleep Aid". I was beyond groggy -…

Curious, my cardiologist will see me within a week, the specialized exams he prescribed were also a matter of days - ended up picking the day most convenient to me since they offer…

Awesome, even if it doesn't currently work, good starting point. Thanks.

> My overall point is, don't let their motivations, nor your cynical conclusions based on those obvious motivations, blind you to your own point of view. Very fair point, taken. So…

I'm immensely thankful for koreader - it improves the reading experience so fundamentally that it literally drives my purchasing decisions. I got a remarkable 2 precisely because i…

> Ah, the position they don't state. Come on, we're not _that_ stupid. Their alarmist tones are the height of hypocrisy when they do release powerful models after spelling doom. Th…

> Anthropic's position is not that, so the cynical nefarious purpose argument isn't even rhetorically true Anthropic's position is precisely that, they're just not honest and trans…

The "Oh no! Anyway" meme from Top Gear has never been more appropriate. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/oh-no-anyway

To drive a touchscreen and serve as a Home Assistant interface you need neither a Pi nor an N100-class mini PC. That's the job of an ESP32. 20 bucks... for a pack of 5. (plus the s…

That's what your nose is for. (I'm quite skilled at advancing or going back by gently tapping the kindle against my face. It helps that I'm very nearsighted so it's kind of already…

Yes - but - ironically - he did that _before_ joining them. IIRC he literally started collaborating and helping them while being at a different company.

Ok just unload the filevault key from ram, better? And if possible tell the secure enclave to revert to the before-first-unlock state

This would be perfect if it could monitor the force with which the lid is closed (macs have accelerometers after all, either this info or an acceptable proxy could be derived?). Ge…

You could run an LLM like this, and the temperature parameter would become an actual thing...

> OpenAI is not going to fund themselves with $20 subscriptions and advertising enough to be profitable. Then it's doomed. Which is also my opinion, I don't disagree at all with yo…

I wouldn't judge it so harshly. The Garmin side is indeed a wide gaping hole in the story, and I consider them actually well worth bothering with - but a lot of the considerations …

Then they'll sell at a profit, but the shipping cost will be inflated to offset that profit and then some. If this is identified and corrected in the law, then the sale will be at …
