I work at F500 company and this is not my experience at all. We are rolling out claude to basically everyone in my division and people are doing pretty amazing things with it and the uptake is high. Building “skills” around specific workflows has been very useful. We have regular training where we meet to share “skills”. Its exciting. Its not all rainbows but the impact and growth potential is very clear to me. This blog seems to reflect a 2024-ish state of affairs.

Scrapping them should be a crime

In finance this is the norm. The people who work the most make the most and there are no rules. I’ve seen people get fired for not working weekends. And overtime is not a thing, its just end of year bonuses.

Okta has push as an option. Maybe msft has that too.

So underappreciated. The article writes as if its some kind of sign that waymos just aren't ready. But human drivers are not improving at all.

Self cancellation sounds like a feature to me.

Not really. Storage is most used for short term stabilization and alleviating congestion in certain transmission nodes. In most markets its used to provide capacity under contract with utilities to meet resource adequacy requirements which don’t consider long term regional complete loss of renewables. Longer term storage that can provide power to, say, a whole region during a multi-day storm is basically an uneconomic fantasy that rational developers have no real incentive to build, because it would be a huge overbuild most of the time, and accordingly undercompensated for said overbuild. Developers are building batteries that are just the right size for a capacity contract & providing ancillary services (voltage support, frequency regulation, etc) plus price arbitrage, which are deployed for only minutes to a few hours. There are some 8 hour duration batteries out there, but they are not common.

Its called the piss filter

Your notifications about your orders are bundled with their marketing notifications (on iphone at least). So if you dont want ads, you have to turn off order updates too

Your energy cost would be very high paying retail. If you actually want to provide services to the internet from your home, your operating cost is not competitive at all with large scale systems. Who would you sell those services to?

I see a lot of elderly people watching AI content on youtube shorts, one after another. The monotonic voice is a dead giveaway. Their feeds have optimized around it because they cannot tell the difference. Its sad.

Can you share more about your setup? This is such a common problem.

This is jevons paradox at its purest. Who really thought companies were just going to let everyone go home earlier? Work is easier, now you will do even more. Congratulations.

this is the smallest attachment loop i've found. It's rock solid https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CPTS8JG?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_...

This is one of the most widey quoted phrases by trump on the topic of epstein

This is totally wrong. I work in the industry. Solar panels should last for 30 years, but they degrade in capacity by 0.5 to 1% per year, depending on environmental conditions (temp, radiation, etc). Lithium batteries from tier 1 suppliers can last at least a decade of regular use. It depends on how their cycling and state of charge is managed. If you keep them between 20% and 80% charge, they can last incredibly long.

what is the scam exactly? Installing a small amount of solar isn't categorically worse than installing a lot of it. Its just smaller.

I have the precision 5690 (the 16inch model) with a ultra 7 processor and 4k touchscreen (2025 model). It is very heavy, but its very powerful. My main gripe is that the battery life is very bad, and it has a 165 watt charger, which wont work on most planes. So if you fly a lot for work, this laptop will die on you unless you bring a lower wattage charger. It also doesn't sleep properly. I often find it in my bag hours after closing it and the fans are going at full blast. It should have a 4th usb port (like the smaller version!). Otherwise I have no complaints (other than about windows 11!).

Their ceo just did an interview on stratechery where he defends this choice. Something about their software being better and wanting to control the whole experience. Doesn’t mean much if you lose customers before they enter your showroom.

This is what I meant by real infrastructure.

What browser should I use then? I quit chrome in a futile attempt to be tracked less. They killed support for my adblocker.

very interesting. Can I control these with home assistant?

I already have a wind down dimming schedule on my entire home. It changes brightness and color temperature gradually over 2 hours. How do these bulbs compare with philips hue?

Real infrastructure and housing

Other than customers

Bumping this. Mat went through the exact same crazy process with the Revuelto. Audi/Lamborghini overengineers the heck out of these cars its really absurd.

Here is my proposal for AI in schools: raise the bar dramatically. Rather than trying to prevent kids from using AI, just raise the expectations of what they should accomplish with it. They should be setting really lofty goals rather than just doing the same work with less effort.

What do you expect to happen with self driving cars? Do they need bright headlights? Do they need high beams?

Great, lets make transmission even more expensive. I can imagine the engineers having a field day maintaining one-off tower designs. How about using a simple white or light blue pole tower that blends in more.

The stag is cool but the bird is not.

For me the point is automation of low value work. I don’t want to press a button. I don’t want to even think about it.

I have a schedule in home assistant for it to run on all weekdays at 1pm, except if my partner is home, it won’t run. She is afraid of robots and i wouldnt hear the end of it if she encountered it and couldn’t disable it. Home assistant knows if she is home based on her phone.

I have been exploring valetudo because the roborock integration breaks pretty often. But it seems like a chore and could brick my robot.
