All of this has been foretold and will be told again by @theverge.com www.theverge.com/business/793...

In the last month, Claude has had 6 days where it didn't have some kind of outage or increased error rates on one of its main models. This includes a 4-day stretch in late February, where there was about 16 hours of outage time. That is very bad for any other SaaS tool

Ummmm I'm good Stitch

This would be cool but the local processing just gives bad output. Also the cloud failover hasn’t worked for me yet, just hangs when it punts over.

There’s a scene in Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle where a character claims you can infer an editor’s sexuality with how they write an index. I think about this every time I look at one. A line that just rattled around my brain for 26 years

Why does no one talk about the terrible uptime for Claude and ChatGPT? For something we're supposed to base the economy around, they seem remarkably prone to outages.

Working on something inspired by my college days. A web app to create polyphonic scores, essentially transcripts on a music-like staff. The idea being this allows you to better represent presence even when a person doesn’t speak much. Probably useless for most but glad I’m scratching this itch.

I’m not victim-blaming, but if this 1PB data leak claim is even remotely true… how do you not notice that? Just think of the egress fees on top of anything else… www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

The MacBook Neo making Steven Sinofsky melancholy about Surface RT is what blogs are for. Interesting argument that this wasn’t Microsoft being too early, but Microsoft not being ready to embrace it hardcoresoftware.learningbyshipping.com/p/239-mac…

Got a car and it was missing the little child seat latch covers. Instead of just resigning to never having them, found a 3d model and printed them! Probably will get a more fun color down the line, glossy PETG was just a PoC

I don’t know if the MacBook Neo will be a hit, but if it does, it will be because Microsoft is seemingly developing Windows to actively spite regular users, and every Windows laptop it will be competing with is named Dell 14 Plus or HP OmniBook 7 AI 14

To be clear, Apple could have made the Neo for the last five years. But this is such a weirdly weak moment for Windows as an OS that it seems brilliant to have a lower-cost laptop that can run Chrome without Windows. Reminds me of the Steam Deck.

The new or last-gen iPad Air and a keyboard case could have been what the MacBook Neo is, just more powerful across the board. Except the Neo gets real Chrome in macOS, which is non-negotiable for most people for getting stuff done.

I’ve been enjoying the heck out the Earthsea series, but this one kind of blew my mind. I’m both extremely mad that I didn’t read Ursula Le Guin when I was younger, and glad I came across Tehanu when I was a little bit older.

This just reminded me of the original MacBook Neo

The article headline reads like a true crime stinger

Whenever Apple releases a "bargain" device, like the MacBook Neo or iPhone SE, it gives me a good benchmark for what developers will build against for mainstream performance in the next few years. To me the Neo is signalling that M1ish performance is going to be good enough for a long time still

MacBook Neo does seem to do the thing of at least matching the M1 Air. That's basically the benchmark it needed to hit, give people a reason to buy something new from Apple versus a refurb Air (of course the refurb is $100-200 cheaper)

MacBook Neo doesn't have a backlit display (based on Apple's spec list)? Been shipping those on MacBooks since what... 2008??

They’ve started a hot war after spending the last year systematically dismantling CISA with a gaping hole in its leadership at this exact moment. The Ukraine War has clearly shown that cyber is a theater of war and this is the moment no one is minding national critical infrastructure security. Bravo
