I bet they are close to a RSI, typing to agents all day.

But, I mean, there are ergonomics experts who could help with that.

And half of it will happen by the end of 2030. I don't know finance well enough to conjecture that these purchases and lease agreements via equity, but maybe that's their plan to reduce the hit. Or, if they will trade tokens for goods and services as part of these agreements. No clue if that is something they could do.

It just seems like, given what we know about how things have worked so far in the AI space, that paying for the entirety of these agreements is not likely.

And also, which one? There is a very large difference between Google AI mode in the browser, Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus, running Qwen 3.x locally...even running the same version of Qwen 3.8 27B locally with different configuration can lead to wildly different results.

You can use a Sony Bravia connected to an Apple TV without connecting the Sony to the internet.

I’m on the same version, and according to https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/ they have not been revoked for me. Maybe phased rollout.

Yes. The location data you get from CoreLocation has been processed already, in that it is the output of combining the inputs from the GPS, Wi-Fi access points, cell towers, magnetometer, accelerometer, and gyroscope sensors.

Workout data might take it a step further, as you tell it the type of workout, and I'm assuming WorkoutKit might do something like adjust the distance filter that specifies how far the device has to travel before triggering a location update event to minimize battery use during the workout.

In one of my first CompSci classes, we had a homework assignment that involved using Alt code in DOS to create a binary executable.

These tools are more advanced :) but they are still just tools.

Depending on your use case, exposing S3 data with CloudFront will decrease the transport cost.
The Elon vs. Zuck cage match might just happen after all.
I think it makes much more sense for Microsoft to provide a good agent orchestration layer for their operating system and productivity software (are we still calling it that?) than try to compete with the Frontier providers.
I'd agree with this. I've been working with Claude on an app. I wanted to increase the size of one element in the UI. I could have asked Claude to do it, but I wanted to understand the application, as well as it kinda seemed like a waste of time and tokens.

Microsoft Word converts dashes to emdashes if you type "<word> - <word>".

Outlook used to do this. I'm using a Mac, and Outlook on the Mac is a different animal, so Outlook on Windows may still do this conversion.

I noticed Google AI Mode (so Gemini, I was doing some quick research in the browser ok) got a detail wrong once, so I asked it what happened. I kept digging deeper and finally just asked it to write me a Python script visualizing what happened. It did, complete with vectors.

Now I want to go find that conversation in my history and see if it can tell me about weights, and how that contributed.

I used Google's Agent Development Kit to make a super simple agent outside of Resolve that I can use to say "take a 10s clip from file1.mp4 starting at 00:01:25 and a 20s clip from file2.mp4 starting at 00:02:00" then tell it to preview and render. Speeds things up.

Re:Version Control for Everything on Friday August 21, 2026 @04:29PM (#49393398)
I guess it kinda depends on your use case. If you're versioning software artifact binaries and want to have support for rules for retention (keep n number of builds around), version numbering (you can only write a release artifact with a version number once), etc., using Git for text and Artifactory for artifact binaries has worked pretty well for me.
> Which makes it tempting to believe it's probably closer to inning 3.

Yeah, this is what I'm thinking. New ways of productizing the technology are still be defined as people are using it. The pricing models are evolving in real-time as the providers figure out what the market will bear.

They were just leaving room for the "Ultimate" model, to be released next year.
