Beautiful. Looks like what I'd see when I would press on my closed eyeballs.

Within 30 seconds, it crashed my 2016 MacBook Pro (maybe overloaded the CPU + the failing battery? It's a feeble machine).

After the Mac's version of the BSD, Mac helpfully restored all of my windows (I have that setting turned off), and there it was again, happily Game Of Lifing in the background. Shut it down just as the fans were spinning up again.

Mine too.

I couldn't imagine who you might be referring to! /snark

This talk of deepfake porn takes me back to a classic HN comment from mabbo:

"As I see it, within a couple years this tech will be so widespread and ubiquitous that you can fully expect your asshole friends to grab a dozen photos of you from Facebook and then make a hyperrealistic pornographic image of you with a gorilla. Pandora's box is open, and you cannot put the technology back once it's out there."

And the reply from ForrestN, "In a world where every celebrity is having sex with gorillas, doesn't such an image lose its charge?"

Hi! I'm Ethan. On the hunt for my next FT Senior Software Engineer role. I've spent 8+ years working on software at scale; my team at GovOS built our Cloud Search product from greenfield to +1 Million Active Monthly Users. I've got fullstack chops, and my passion skews towards the backend.

My teams have given me the feedback my attention to detail and my efforts to bridge and coordinate communication between disparate teams has been invaluable.

Thanks for your time!

Thank you so much for your call to action; just emailed antitrust@ftc.gov.

For any experiencing barriers for writing the email, my method is below; Bing Chat generated an excellent email that only needed a bit of editing.

1. Open https://vivaldi.com/blog/googles-new-dangerous-web-environme... page in (ugh) Edge.

2. Open Bing Chat sidebar (top right corner); it auto-summarizes the article.

3: My prompt: Using the that webpage summary, please write a letter reporting Alphabet for antitrust violation. Please include the following [this language is from the ftc.gov site]:

Q: What companies or organizations are engaging in conduct you believe violates the antitrust laws? A: Alphabet

Q: Why do you believe this conduct may have harmed competition in violation of the antitrust laws? A: [use the article]

Q:What is your role in the situation? A: I'm a user of the Firefox browser

Just got an email update from Google Cloud Trusted Tester Program, informing me that

Generative AI support in Vertex AI is generally available

and

Our Codey model is now in public preview, giving Vertex AI users access to powerful code completion, generation, and chat capabilities.

Trying it out requires signing up for Google Cloud. A 90-day $300 free credit trial is available, which happily does not auto-charge your credit card after the trial is over.

Curious if anyone out there has played around with Codey, and how it stacks up to GH Copilot etc.

Way cool. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing. Your audio work sounds really interesting! Is any of it sharable, or still in-flight?

So bad--it boggles my mind. We joke that their company moto is: "U-Haul: It's Always Somthing".

So many instances of showing up after reserving online, and the staff says, "Uh, we don't have that truck."

Most recently, my friends couldn't get their reserved truck (on their moving day) because their site (and backend) was down nationwide. They had the truck, but _because_ everything's digital now, they had no fallback ability to rent out the reserved truck.

No recruiters or agencies, please.

++ on the touchbar being worthless. I use a touchbar MBP for work. It's managed to complicate the most frequently used functions (brightness + sound adjustments), and I experience bugs / temporary freezing of both of those sliders until I cmd + tab switch apps.

It's a great teardown and commentary. I found this presentation easier to follow, as it has inline images.

I've always been a "Save $$ by buying used Macs" guy, but I'd be very hesitant to purchase a used MacBook with this terrible keyboard . . .
