Huh… I really thought they would have given this a new band

When @marcoarment.bsky.social expected that Claude Fable would be back within months and that was shortcutted to weeks, he then expected the July 7th deadline wasn't what it seemed; it might be back again soon thereafter... I felt there was good truth to that. Didn't expect it back THE NEXT DAY 🤣

A screenshot of Claude with a pop-up that says “extended through July 12: Fable 5 is included in your plan for up to 50% of your weekly usage limit“

Sad to see Anthropic go this route. I expect this of companies like Google or Meta or OpenAI, who are eager to build a surveillance state, but until now Anthropic has felt similar to Apple: focus on just making a good product and always consider the user. Oh well. www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy

In 2023, Apple changed the HIG to remove any mention that the default button of a window can be activated with the keyboard. This is the legacy of Alan Dye. Remove things which were there for good reason, without providing an alternative.

Really enlightening, moving from Google Photos to Apple Photos... just how featureless Apple Photos is. It doesn't even let you make a panorama from existing images!

The Xcode 16 icon was objectively better than Xcode 26… The new one just feels like someone didn’t have any ideas and threw something together slapdash. The old one was more fun, especially with the minor breakout from the squircle

It's one of those nights where I run into a strange problem I don't know how to solve and there's only 1 result in web search, and it's a StackOverflow page where I see this on the question, and there's no answer..

The upvote button was already clicked. Also, it says "Asked 5 years" at the top

This is definitely one of the best ironic software glitches I've ever experienced

I feel like this was written by an LLM? Aside from the inflammatory headline, it doesn’t really say anything? It’s just a little history lesson…

The people who spend their lives obsessing about money, seem to have no idea how money works... Slow growth is a key to a success! Rapid growth leads to burnout and an inability to judge limitations nor handle unexpected difficulties www.wsj.com/articles/can...

Welp. I didn't want to go all in on the Apple ecosystem but I think I don't have a choice now. Hello to KyNorthstar@iCloud.com

This new Apple automatic grocery list thing is really good. Perfect, even

Amazing. Google seems to have updated NotebookLM to include a specific voice representing an “expert speaker”. This worked fine for the first half of this “episode“ I had a generate, but in the second half, the other voice just starts saying “expert speaker” every few seconds instead

I actually did some research on this. Assuming Google uses about the same amount of energy it did in ’19, it takes at >8x more energy to Google 1 image than to generate 1, & drawing takes at >192x the energy. With that, what you suggest takes at least 208x as much energy as generating that image

OpenAI being upset that someone use their data to train a model without their permission is very funny actually

Sometimes I listen to podcasts and enjoy it, then I'm slapped in the face with how fucking wealthy the podcasters are www.relay.fm/upgrade/546

Today I learned that CodeFactor, which was once a great free way to make sure that all of my code was up to basic standards, is no longer going to be free. They now REQUIRE billing information just to use the product. github.com/codefactor-i...

what does “first 10%“ even mean? Like, I assume it means “first 10% of the current 10 million users“, but assuming that more users join on, then the “first 10%“ is just gonna keep growing???
