I’m seeing layoffs of US workers, who are then being replaced by Indian, South American and Ireland nationals… not AI. But they’re calling it AI.

What would qualify as a “high yield” savings account or money market in your book? High yield savings accounts unfortunately adjust to market interest rates.

I know an earworm typically consists of a song, but what is really plaguing me is those laugh tracks people add to reels because my wife watches them 6 hours a day.

My bosses and their decisions.

Same, and when I catch myself doing that, I wonder why I do it, then move on with life and do it again later.

I have a friend who is self-employed. He uses an iPhone and a MacBook Air. He only uses iMessage, Numbers, Safari and Apple Music for entertainment. He gets away with 8gb just fine and rarely has to reboot.

He probably could use a Chromebook or something even lighter, but the support and ecosystem were enough for him to pay the premium. His time is valuable to him so it was worth it to him.

Accurate.

What is the obsession with shitting on people’s choices? I don’t understand the irony of demanding choice in this industry, then shitting on people when they make a choice you don’t agree with.

I actually like Apple’s approach to AI more than all of the others. I don’t care for Microsoft’s implementation at all. I just try to avoid Microsoft in general on top of that, so no need to complain about it.

But I do think Apple’s approach to AI from a privacy and implementation perspective is what I would prefer from a software vendor.

According to WWDC info released today, Apple is working on some LSP packages for Swift that can make coding with Vscode possible.

Oof. Considering his ex-presidential behavior in addition to his behavior while in office, this seems like something he would do.

I don’t have direct knowledge on whether or not Duterte made all of this worse, but I suspect you’re correct. Philippines is worlds behind on records, which is why I understand the purpose of the Apostille certification agreement.

Please see my long comment in thread above.

If things get very, very bad, this will be our plan as well.

Finland is one of three countries that banned my wife and stepdaughter’s race by using a procedural “gotcha.” Despite being a part of the Apostille convention in Geneva, Finland, Germany and Greece refuse to accept any documentation from Philippines. Therefore, they are banned from your country entirely.

Thanks for the offer though.

Reminder to all here: USA is not the only country on the planet with racism.

Doomscrolling instead of sleeping

iPhones also have this feature, for a long time now:

Rather irresponsible of the article to not point out these features on Android and iPhone. Did a cop or government official write that article?

VGER is coming back.

I never heard of any company promising price cuts due to AI and layoffs. Even if they had, I wouldn’t have believed it one bit.
