Yeah, they don’t care that senior talent left because that was the whole point.

For the Beaughpheourght sea

I thought it was called the Beaufort Sea?

I wholeheartedly support both rules

• General purpose LLMs are starting to replace everyday queries I used to posit to Google. Perplexity can be quite good for this.
• Copilot as enhanced autocomplete when writing code. A particularly good use-case is writing tests: with a few test cases already written, a sufficiently good test name will most often generate a well-written test case.
• LLMs for lazy generation of SQL queries can sometimes be quite nice.
• Writing assistance for things I find myself struggling to get written by myself. A writing unblocking tool, if you will.

It’s reducing the effort and time I have to put into some things, and I appreciate that. It’s far from perfect, but it doesn’t have to be perfect to be useful.

I think this was already happening though, to be fair. The outlined technique actually cuts away some amount of work for the more commonly used multiple agent technique.

Arrival

Few feelings are more freeing than closing basically all of them down. Usually I don’t even miss them, essentially all upside.

You upload the binary to the App Store, and as a part of the release process they may inspect the binary to figure out what it’s doing.

They of course don’t do that for everything as it’s a bit complicated to do for everything, but it can be an effective means to for example figure out when an app is calling an API in a prohibited manner.

1.8B was the fine they got for anticompetitive behaviour with regards to Apple Music, which is not an insignificant amount for that business unit.

The fines for DMA-violations go up to 10% of global revenue for first-time violations and 20% of global revenue for repeat violations. I would love to see Apple continue fucking around and letting Apple find out in the form of a fine of that magnitude. It would be so damn sweet.

The former.

Probably basically all operational expenses, with a minority being cloud expenditure and a majority being salaries for employees, if I had to guess.

I’m assuming that spez gets most of his pay in the form of stock options which doesn’t really cost the company anything real.

Why would there be any fraud? His salary is approved by the board that represents the current shareholders.

It’s also not particularly surprising on account of there being plenty of VC-subsidised companies that never turned a profit, had high salaries for their executives and then IPO’d.

If your question is moreso on the absurdities of capitalism, then that’s another discussion entirely, but I feel it’s important to note that this is nothing out of the ordinary.

This is on account of the concept of SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) from PSD2 (Payment Services Directive), an EU-regulation.

Well, one could probably deduce that a lower internal temperature than the instant point is sufficient to cook chicken, and use that in combination with a thermometer when cooking chicken.

In fact, that’s what I’ve done after learning this, bringing my chicken breasts only up to ~68 C (~155 F), resulting in a vastly more enjoyable chicken breast.

So I’d argue the opposite - this is very helpful for real world cooking.

Tenerife?

If I were to guess, I’d say it’s libre-redirect, with the middle ‘re’ being deduplicated.

Doesn’t look like it, no.

I honestly think that the people at Google are a bit smarter than that, but we’ll see whether that holds or not.
