You make decisions of all kinds, every day. Without the ability to critically reason about such decisions, we are much more apt to make terrible decisions that may have short term or, depending on the decision, long term effects on our future.

Following an overheated bubble, it's literally the shareholders themselves who are torpedoing Apple stock prices.

Unless they were part of an IPO or additional share offering, they are parasites the lot of them.

Because journals in your field are a tool just as are labs and their respective instruments. It's absurd to hire a scientist, and expect them to bring their own NMR, or beakers, or scales. Taxpayer funded subscriptions to scientific journals are a drop in the bucket. Trump taking yet another vacation at Mar-a-lago costs more than those subscriptions.

... if I don't pay too much heed to a CEO of a car company who has zero engineering experience. I get that the execs are creaming themselves with the possibilities of hanging their workforce out to dry, but the shit I see coming out of most corner offices can't even be used for fertilizer.

News aggregation site should contain link to news ....

How about instead some basic interoperability like being able to reliably connect to a Windows SMB share? Apple, you're fucking blowing it. Increasingly, It Just Doesn't Work. Maybe start listening to the people reporting issues in your apparently write-only discussions forums ....

Your comment is underrated and 100% correct. Also, "37% new to Christie's" - I'm sure. Scammers gotta get in and start overheating the "value".

Er - this act was probably taken to justify Pichai's compensation. "Oh look, profit is up! See, me good! Need cookie!"

Typical end-of-year short term thinking.

The last thing I want is OpenAI snooping in my shell and incorporating my input, my environment variables, into its model.

There is no universe in which you will receive anything for your $7400 other than some happy Russian trolls.

It's not a generational thing, at all, as another so-called "gen-x".

Ads suck, and using something like Brave all of a sudden makes browsing faster and more pleasant. I'm done being shilled to. Not their business model? Too bad, it's not my "business model" to waste my time giving attention to shouting ads for products I will never buy.

If there's a technical way to avoid ads, I'll do it. If there isn't - I will simplify my life and cut YouTube out of it.

But apparently mostly that extraterrestrial life have somehow solved logistics of space and time, and sightings are more likely than literally any other explanation.

It's a dumb world we live in.

This is Tim's.

It's possible I'm wrong, that maybe he can make a market out of this. But Tim's not a product guy. The Apple lineup so far is solid but not exactly exciting. I'm not sure there's anyone with Apple who has vision other than creating the vertical integration stack and doing it slightly better than the next guy. MacOS Ventura 13 has some troubling signs that half-bakery is on the rise at Apple, particularly the ugly rework of System Preferences.

Analysts are wrong many times. I don't need to hang the moon on the might-be of any company's product line.

Junk content, engagement through enragement, and all the life supplement advertisements.

Monetization at YT is a joke, between copyright claims, advertiser white-washing, and now this. YT seems doing their best to remove unique and interesting content from their platform, ala History Channel and Discovery Channel.
