Yes I use it for a few workflows for a client. Been using their hosted version since it was dirt cheap (and grandfathered in to that pricing). It’s been very reliable, I would continue to use it for workflow automations now as it’s simpler to reason with than LLM generated spaghetti code.

Look at Adobe stock 10 minutes before the Claude Design announcement came out… the volume spike there is out of the ordinary and I find it hard to believe it’s a coincidence, someone knew something. The level of blatant insider trading at the moment is pretty wild

What’s the point? Unless you are going to ruthlessly throw stuff away you’re still just accumulating things, tracking it doesn’t make the issue of unused clutter go away. Sure you move some stuff to a cupboard further away but it’s not difficult to intuit most of this stuff, and now you have a mess of stickers

MacBook Air - mid range mid price, good quality, basically as functional as the Pro now.
The price of the Neo is very compelling if they want it for light duty work though.
And obviously high end is high end but those people know who they are

How is it Apple can make a whole laptop cheaper than the phones they sell? Phones are costing more while laptops are going down in price.

Re:I Built an AI That Picks Gifts Better Than I Do

Yeah suggestions are way too obvious. I put cycling in as an interest and it gave me 4 different helmets to choose from… errr
I think in general that suggesting items for peoples hobbies is usually a bad idea because if someone is passionate about cycling they probably know the exact gear they want, me who knows nothing about this topic can’t choose a good gift.
It’s better to buy gifts you do know something about, eg if I’m really in to kitchen knives I could buy a nice knife for someone because everyone needs a good knife and I can choose a good one.

IMO the internet is just a bad place to look for reviews nowadays, unless you really trust someone and know they aren’t being paid to review the product.
Likewise Amazon reviews I consider mostly fake.
For products I want to buy I look at what brick and mortar stores sell, they have skin in the game and can weed out the truly bad.

If you weren’t enjoying drawing why would you keep it up as a hobby anyway?
Explore options for hobbies and stick with the ones you do find fun and drop the others-that’s totally fine!
If you love working on organisational tasks - try that as a hobby, Marie Kondo your life
