It probably made me 5 times slower because it gets hung up on a stupid thing, misinterprets me telling it what the correction is, does something different, rewrites the whole thing, introduces different issue

I argued with an LLM for about an hour about how to properly escape paths with whitespace in them for passing to AWK. I could have fixed it myself quicker, but I wanted to see just how many times of going 'No, you have to because " it'd take before it'd realize what the actual issue was.

It took a *long time*

So the only thing the attacks need to steal information from your system is to already have access to the system to run arbitrary code on it. Gotcha.

They actually normally DO! That's always been one of the big Slashdot slanders of Apple -- that they're not the first mover, they just copy other people but do it really well. (I don't entirely agree, but that's neither here nor there for this conversation.)

Liquid Glass does give me serious Vista vibes, and so far, I don't get it. I've only tried it on one device so far, so I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'm not incredibly optimistic.

It's a real joy to use the old versions of OSX. I miss those days. Aqua was a lot of fun.

I agree. Though I remember at the time one of the explanations was that simpler, flatter designers were more manageable for scalable display sizes, resolutions, DPIs, etc. I'm not sure I entirely buy that.

Ultimately I think it came down to a pissing contest between Apple personalities after Jobs was gone. Jobs was the dictator with a vision who kept all the other creatives in line. Scott Forestall lasted about a year and Jony Ive won that battle (though Ive himself only stuck around, in a partial capacity for another 6-7 years).

I hooked up an old pre-OSX Mac recently. A lot of those programs had really solid, clear designs. The Apple HIG used to be a really big deal. The Liquid Glass rollout feels incredibly rushed and half-assed. It's like since Apple has dropped the ball on AI they felt they had to do SOMETHING quick.

Hashcash was thought up back in 1997 for combatting spam.

it includes features like import/export, like taking a picture of a label, automatically extracting text bits for dropdowns, so that you can manually choose which bit of text is the winery, which bit is the name of the wine, etc..

So exactly vivino

He wanted an iOS app to keep track of what he has, what he thought of each bottle, etc.

So vivino?

That's what CF was already doing.

Still growing but not as much, you must be a shit company.

How did that turn out?

The parties agreed to dismiss and it never went to trial.

Are you confusing that with the SCO-Linux lawsuits?

What's the point then? New York ISO peaks at like 25GW, that's a drop in the bucket.

Nah, social media shown me that chugging raw milk and invermectin has literally zero downsides

You CNAME it to a domain that expired.
