The "credit" for that move actually belongs to WarnerBros Discovery

Re:You only need the frontier model for one single edit on Monday July 20, 2026 @07:11PM (#48986054)
Just specify that the more efficient model should only be used if the cost of doing the task would be less than using the higher horsepower model. Fable has no problem routing based on that instruction.

"Starting on your first billing date after the integration, your price will change from $10/user/month → $18/user/month"
The timing (after 5pm ET on a Friday) is telling. Build a KYC module over the weekend and we’ll be back on Fable after uploading our ID Monday morning.
Re:Native Instant Space Switching on macOS on Thursday April 09, 2026 @04:28PM (#47709433)
Just installed and I have to say, works exactly as promised. This is a huge quality of life upgrade, thank you for sharing it Paul.

Now do it 100x every day and see if it gets old :)
Contrastive negation continues to be a dead giveaway.
The unrelenting human belief that one is special, unique, and capable of things no one else is.

"None of the siblings got it right."

Perfectly proving my point. It's a meaningless argument built on vibes that every reader interprets differently.

"shareholder-enforced enshittification" what on earth could this possibly mean?
I mean, I don’t know what I was expecting but I clicked anyway…
Early audience response suggested the message struggled to land. According to an iSpot survey of 500 viewers, the ad’s likeability score placed it in the bottom 3% compared with Super Bowl ads over the past five years. Its top-two-box purchase intent scored 24% below Super Bowl norms and 19% below ads in its category that aired over the last 90 days. Viewers most commonly described their reaction as “WTF,” signaling confusion around both the message and the execution.

Re:The Film Students Who Can No Longer Sit Through Films on Saturday January 31, 2026 @12:02PM (#46838376)
"Many students are resisting the idea of in-person screenings altogether. Given the ease of streaming assignments from their dorm rooms, they see gathering in a campus theater as an imposition."

Students telegraphing to the film world that a coming generation of consumers simply won't be going to the theatre. The article is framed as a tragedy about the students, but it's actually a tragedy about the professors and institution of moviegoing.

Yes. If you say you’re compatible with Windows software and games, my expectation as a user is that everything “just works”.

Mimestream on Mac implements GMail's keyboard shortcuts so there was no learning curve for me and I'm able to enjoy a desktop app experience.
I think you've got your timeline mixed up. App Store search ads debuted in 2016, prior to your entire narrative.
Re:Apple M4 MacBook Air review: I have no notes on Wednesday March 19, 2025 @09:21AM (#43411590)
When I owned an M1 Air the keys felt "thin" and "hollow" when bottoming out, versus the Pros which have always felt slightly softer without losing responsiveness. You can hear the difference between the keyboards at full speed typing. The M1 Air sounded cheaper to me. Can't speak to M4 Air.

This is such a dramatic turnaround from the way Apple has positioned itself in the last few years you have to really wonder about their confidence level for in-house AI efforts.

An alternative read is that AI in its current form can produce such unpredictable results they're content for now to use Google as a scapegoat for any oddities.

It isn't my responsibility to adapt to your slow day. Keep it to yourself, be a professional. This "trend" seems little more than just immaturity.
Because the O2 sensor was a COVID-era feature that nobody cares about now and moves zero units. Soon Apple will have definitive confirmation in the form of Watch sales data.
Things don't seem to be going well at Humane, either: https://www.fastcompany.com/91008117/ai-pin-humane-layoffs
