so much easier to collect your data and having their app on your screen is extremely valuable

yes, because when cars were bad and chinese brands were cheap, it was virtuous to pinpoint human rights vs 'chinese cars are yucky and i want to look cool'.

it's trash if:

- you're not a native speaker or have accent

- using airpods mic

- surroundings is noisy

- use novel words like 'claude code'

- mumble a bit

you won't get clicks and you can't build brand with it. sad but true.

I dont think so. They also triggered SEO race where businesses pump out same bland blogposts to optimize ranking. Content made by humans for those companies was the only viable way at that time, and now new synthetic method emerges - whatever generates revenue will win. AI reels and tiktoks get views, so why bother with human generated content after the training on models have been done? Sad but true.

yearning for old apple and order, current times and genz are more chaotic. not sure if it's generational, old apple was obsessed about design, now HIG is mostly optional. they now even use hamburger on websites which was a big no in the past.

this is the thing that is missed often in recent convos. h1b not only enables you to hire cheaper, but also give much bigger leverage and power over worker. maybe now there are plenty of candidates on the market, but still having immigrant on visa for cheaper is, cynically, much better deal for corps.

Was here before comment got removed!

Grover Cleveland would like a word

Just so I understand: you’re talking about setting up an FTP account, using curlftpfs, and SVN/CVS for Linux users? And even with all these, you’d still need USB drives for connectivity issues? Plus, you're naming it Dropbox? Is there more?

selection bias. also survival of the fittest.

Got it, but why is it booming now and often it’s a showcase of llm model? Is there some secret market/ usecase for it?

Why are scrapers so popular nowadays?

Strawman comment

its quite cynical, dont you think. you can benefit in both - morally and in business.

no, they just mentioned it because they're aware of that but cannot control it and might affect the end result. makes sense - it used to be underdiagnosed and now with bigger push for prevention this might introduce more false positives.

But I don’t think this is something groundbreaking isn’t it? Similar to dating apps, when the pool is enormous It’s very cheap to keep the options open. With the automation and growing value of the personal data, everyone should keep that in mind when applying for a job. Also, I suspect there is a reason but the responders are too lazy or are too ashamed to provide it. My wild guess would be, as cited as before: this position has been allocated but it almost cost nothing to keep it open to farm data and to keep perception that the business is growing.

it's about 15 having 2x more powerful neural engine

very few cared about linux. it was mostly hd-dvd (later dvd) vs blu-ray.

They dont care if you want it or not. Spotify also doesnt provide shortcuts on ios, so its all planned. They want to farm real user actions and engagements, not applescripts.

your mileage may vary, meaning that point from the essay doesn't apply uniformly

unfortunately it has to be finnicky, otherwise it'd cannibalize audiobooks apps (amazon got angry recently)

Some of my friends just started getting into it, but their reasons are a bit different. They're moving to new places and saw how pricey furniture can be, so they thought, "Why not make it ourselves?" Plus, it's a nice break from the usual desk job stuff. It's hands-on and feels like you're really making something useful, not just another software project , its all about getting physical.

When moneys out and theres a fire going on (at openai), its the best moment to close departments that were solely for virtue signaling :/
