Damn, are you me? My thoughts exactly. My 13PM is plenty good. And with all the layoffs that keep happening, imma save that money.

YouTube seems fine

As much as I love using MacOS, the Intel NUCs offer upgradability for SSD and RAM which makes it harder to go with the Mac Mini if you need larger storage or memory.

It would be brilliant if Google can pull this off and take marketshare away from ChatGPT/OpenAI. Just like how people stuck with MS Teams and stopped subscribing to Slack and Zoom. Not because it was better, but it was well-integrated users who are already subscribed to MS Office 365 gets it for free.

This is the thing that people seems to miss. It's very accessible to the average Internet user. Kinda like TikTok and Instagram, most teens have tried it out. Sure, the other FAANGs might have far capable AI teams most of that output run in the background. Few are available to the general public that went on to became viral on social media.

Blind post is no longer there.

Anyways, I didn't understand the acronyms so I decided to feed it to GPT and it definitely made it easier to understand:

Google is using a formula to determine which employees will be laid off (known as RIF: Reduction in Force)

The formula takes into account various factors such as location of labor (with US Premium Plus areas being more heavily impacted), tenure and performance in the current level, "runway" of compensation (the difference between base salary and maximum potential salary), and promo velocity (how quickly the employee has been promoted within the company)

This formula calculates a "number" for each employee based on these factors

Each Product Area Vice President (PA VP) is given a percentage of employees they must lay off

Employees with a score below a certain threshold, determined by the formula, will be laid off

Since we're on the topic of tiling manager, I'm still using ShiftIt on my old macbook and I still think it's one of the best window manager since it allows you bind keys to particular actions and stays out of the way with minimal configuration. It's not being maintained though.

Same here, it pisses me off to see a lot of those spam sites being ranked that high on google. YouTube is a mixed bag too particularly when you trying to troubleshoot an issue or learn more about a particular feature of Product X. All you get are reviews of Product X returned from the search.

I mean, are they late to all the parties though? I think ChatGPT has the momentum to corner the end-user market. It's one of the best tools out there that can help writers, developers and any profession that uses text communication.

Google and Facebook might be better at some things, and maybe Apple too. But none of them has brought to market a chatbot that works pretty well(and not just as a party trick) and is very accessible to anyone on the Internet. I would love it if open up Siri such that I can communicate with it on a site just like ChatGPT.

This article has only reiterated my belief that any deals that you make with your employer/client should be in writing so that they will not try to weasel their way out of an agreement.

It got me thinking that for every developer who manages to get frontpage on HN about their employer's dishonesty, there are probably more out there who had been screwed the same way.

I think gurkendoktor is looking for a USB(wired) trackpad. The Magic Trackpad can only interface via Bluetooth.

Alternatively, grooveshark.com for people currently outside of the U.S.

I usually run 5km every other day. What I did was to tell myself that if I don't want to run, I could always just walk and listen to my mp3 player.

That helps alleviate the pressure which would otherwise have made it impossible for me to put on my running shoes.
