It's interesting that people seem to have forgotten/gotten over the whole Glasshole "rejection/anger" against Google glasses ~10years ago. Maybe it would have been more socially acceptable even back then if they hadn't made them look sci-fi and instead like regular glasses.

Or is it just that we haven't seen Scoble using these in the shower? :-D [1]

I was tracking this as part of an older job and this has been the case for some years now - started around the Covid time with all the scalping bots etc and has just been building up.

This sorta mirrors the early-mid 2010's when people[1] were worried about how much of the internet was streaming traffic.

>Worse, the price would have to be lowered to bring up sales, which could put the other peach farmers into bankruptcy as well.

We run into something similar every year here in India. One recent example [1] This year it is the Middle East crisis. Last year it was probably a glut because there was shortage the year previously.

This makes it seem like they really like the Anthropic product and are using it quite a bit more than the others? Or is it just me making random connections?

>is reminds me of the chemical swipes done on your bags to detect explosives.

I've also had this done on my dialysis port at some airports here in India :-|

What happens if the OpenAI failure is because of lack of demand from their customers and the market in general? None of the AI providers or hardware providers will survive, no?

Block the AWS IP ranges. You will have reasonably good results blocking all datacenter ranges - cloud providers, VPSs etc., if you don't expect traffic from them. You can get the ranges from Udger (paid) and it isn't very bad w.r.to false positives. Alternatively just whitelist expected regions and block everything else. More false positives prone, but easier.

Left Facebook in 2015. Other than missing the death announcement of an old friend, I haven't really been bothered. HN & curated Reddit subs (basically Goretzky's security sub list) are more than I need to keep up with things.

I do have an Instagram account, and use that to follow the Slackwyrm comic (and ignore people asking me to give them my "desirable" id.)

I did try Blind, but quickly gave up on that mess of an app. 1 day of using it and it just was rage bait after rage bait. Maybe next time I'm job hunting - a friend stated that it was very useful for her negotiations.

Most of my WA group chats are archived & no notifications - no pressure to read them immediately. Left every group chat except close friends and family anyway.

You mean like the DPDPA [1]?

Ah, but this computer is a general-purpose home device that is mostly used for browsing and watching videos. The dev. stuff doesn't matter.

(And I no longer inflict my code on this world, only powerpoints!)

Replacement battery for the family MBP. Going strong since 2014, and I want to see how far we can use it safely as the family computer without replacement.
