They do, what Apple does release is referenced often in discussions.

Can this go up and down stairs? If I want my home tidied up, I want the whole home done not just one floor.

For 100 USD I can get a Roomba or Roborock for one floor and because that is so cheap I don’t mind this limitation. But for 8-10k USD I would expect this very common household feature to be solved.

Check your local Costco, I snapped up a 512 GB model for 1197 last Saturday.

GM just did this in the last 30 days [1], and their sales are likely going to be just fine. In fact the auto industry has repeatedly automated jobs over the last 100 years, and they still make decent sales numbers.

If you decided to boycott every company that replaced staff with automation, you would be forced to exit the economy. Every company does this to some degree and the customers who vote with their wallet do not seem to care about a reduction in force.

Let's be honest, at a certain point it's a hobby. And it's still cheaper than snowboarding.

This seems to be less about K8’s and more about the infra as code movement. It doesn’t matter if you use K8, CDK, or terraform - you get the same benefits the OP stated across the board.

It is nice to be able to have a consistent deployment pattern, with traceability, rollback support, and production approval checks. It’s nice to not have some archaic something stuck in someone’s head. It’s also nice to be able to see how something works by reading the code, which is usually up to date and deployable.

It noticed a flooding area due to low grass by the walkout door. It noticed mixed 15 and 20a receptacles on the same circuit. It noticed warped siding and recalled circuit breakers still in use.

Similarly, I used gen ai to review a real estate purchase. I provided Zillow listing photos and serial numbers of all appliances, the electric panel, and a few additional not pictured areas that I took during the walk through.

I prompted the AI to write a report as if it were a home inspector and it actually did a better job and identified some issues the paid 750 usd inspector missed.

It is useful if you automate generating release notes. Then your notes are grouped by new features first, then bug fixes after. This makes it a little easier for non-technical uses to read.

I use Optery for about two months a year, seems to do a good enough job for most of the data brokers. There are also discounts or promo codes to lower the price as well.

You should add an Easter egg in your cli program: dagger attack, which prints out a favourite Top Gun quote.

The other advantage with bash is that most developers can run it locally to validate what it is doing and debug issues. With GitHub Actions you need to always commit and push, slowing down the DX.

LMS’s are a lot like programming languages. There’s the ones people complain about and the ones no one uses.

It depends on what you pay for. If you need FedRamp or IL4+ compliance you are likely on dedicated infrastructure. Everyone else uses multi tenancy.

I wonder what will happen to the entire legal system. It used to be fairly difficult to create convincing photos and videos.

AI can probably fool most court judges now. Or the defense can refute legitimate evidence by saying “it’s AI / false”. How would that be refuted?

Say what you about the Anna’s Archive Spotify scrape: it made me realize how much music exists and how much music was never listened to.

CLI is great because now I can tell my AI agent to do it. “Fix all dependabot security issues (copy logs) and run tests to validate functionality. Create each dependency as its own stack (or commit) so that contributors may review each library update easily.”

Wait 10 minutes and you’re done.

Am I the only one that uses a thunderbolt dock and a keyboard + mouse + monitor setup? The Macbook itself is always closed in clamshell mode.

The only time I ever use a Macbook as a proper laptop is during meetings, and even then it is brief - looking up materials or taking notes - not nearly enough time to encounter long-term strain in the wrists.

If you are working on a computer for 6+ hours a day professionally, you owe it to yourself to get a proper workstation setup. Hunching over a laptop for hours a day is terrible for your posture and health.

My favorite MacOS update was when the removed the need for Rectangle, Mos, and Unnatural ScrollWheels.
