I just tried it, created an account, and wrote a few sentences about how my day went. These sentences got classified as AI assisted, so clearly their classifier doesn't work that well.

LinkedIn is definitely flooded with AI slop, but we also need to keep in mind that Pangram really doesn't work that well. I just tried it, wrote a few sentences about my day, and it was flagged as AI-generated (which doesn't surprise me since these tools are known to easily flag writing from people whose native language is not English [1]). I am really suspicious of the 0.1% false positive rate they claim to achieve.

What don't you like about the voice? Geniune question, I'm not using it in English but I think it sounds fine in my language, and it's an improvement over the previous one.

I'm a bit confused by this post, because the Dropbox clients, on both Windows and Mac, are pretty basic and streamlined. If anything, they lack features (some are web-only for some reason) rather than being bloated.

That's strange, because they were seemingly way less capacity constrained lately, raised limits and removed the peak hours usage. It's crazy to think that even spending $1.25 billion a month to rent GPUs from SpaceX didn't do much to improve the situation.

I have the same experience, and I ended up removing Cloudflare from the websites I manage since there were too many complaints from users with shared connections or exotic browsers.

It happens all the time. For a recent example, see Windows midrange laptop pricing since the MacBook Neo was introduced, despite the RAM crisis.

I agree, the $20 plan really feels like a rip-off (and I'm not even using Claude Code! only chat).

You definitely want your AI to search legal databases, and not draw from "memory". This is where AI offerings from Thomson or Lexis could shine, especially in jurisdictions where case law is not freely available online.

It depends on the jurisdiction. I'm based in France and all cases here are now freely available online to people and agents [1], but it's very recent for lower courts. However, I recently had to work on Texas case law and we had to purchase access to a (very expensive [2]) database since most of it wasn't public.

"Offensive trash" is a bit much, most organizations use it without too many issues. I think it's pretty good!

We'll need to wait for the benchmarks, but this looks great! Windows 11 ARM64 is already amazing, and if these really are an upgrade from the Qualcomm chips we're going to have even better laptops on the market.

They do offer a €8/month ad-free Instagram subscription in the EU. I'm subscribed, it's pretty cool.

Anubis often takes more than 60 seconds to complete on low-end devices (especially old smartphones). It seems like there's no good solution.

This felt weirdly defensive and written in bad-faith, even with Zitron's standards in mind. Linking to his own 1000+ words premium posts as sources is also very annoying.

Brave Search has its own index which is fine, 10 blue links and no forced AI, and more importantly support for DDG-like "bangs" (like !gi sending you to Google Images), without DDG's performance issues. I highly recommend it for people who don't want to pay for Kagi.

I have this specific keyboard, "POP Icon Keys" (not to be confused with "POP Keys"). It's fine. I can confirm that it doesn't fold and is not particularly compact.

I'm subscribed to People and Blogs by email, I always enjoy it, but I must admit that I would be happy for the series to end. The author is right: "it’s important to remind people that good things can only exist if we all collectively make them happen". We'll see if he follows through.
