Engineers often see no value in what marketers do. This video is what they don't do.

I grew some mushrooms at home for the first time. Ate one at 8pm at a concert tonight. Its now 3am and despite taking melatonin, I cannot get to sleep.

Apple is still a hardware company. A loss of revenue from software and services sales is far from ruinous for Apple.
Should I be blocked if I ask Claude Desktop to lower the prices in all of my Craigslist ads by 10%?
I recognized her name when this story dropped. She’s been on an Apple vendetta for some time.

Where did you get the music to train on? And how hard was it to get permission?
There are a myriad of reasons why living in a LA beach city is preferable to the SFV. The beach is there. The weather is better. You’re closer to LAX.

Similarly, post-covid, I don’t know if it will come back as good and engaging as it was before, but the Ableton Loop conferences. I went to the one in Los Angeles and bought flights for the one in Berlin that got canceled during the pandemic.

Re:Jack Dorsey has regrets about building Twitter on Sunday April 03, 2022 @05:50PM (#30901070)
It wasn't artificial. Twitter started as a way to broadcast an SMS text to followers. SMS length limit was 160 characters at the time. They reserved 20 characters for usernames resulting in the birth of the 140 limit.
And 99.9% of artists still won’t get paid squat.
I often used the MLB app’s ability to play the local radio audio instead of TV audio. There’s still some good ol’ drunk radio announcers in baseball.

Gatekeeping is a hell of a drug
Speaking of BMs, WFH has me spoiled in that I get to use the bidet I installed at home every time. Once you’re used to using a bidet, anything less feels like living in the dark ages.
