Yep I’m asleep without my Apple watch because the battery barely holds out a day and a half.
- Comment on Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress 22 hours ago:
Instead of focusing on battery life, they focused on some dogshit hype product that no one uses and no body asked for.

In fact it makes you a fence rider and a nincompoop.

Yeah you’re better off.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 week ago:
I had a plex pass and was still having tons of issues streaming to other devices such as Apple TV. So I switched everything over to jellyfin with news server and have everything scheduled through radarr and sonarr. Never going back.

- Comment on 53% of Israeli public opposes aid entering Gaza, new poll shows 4 weeks ago:
As someone who is Jewish, I honestly can’t see how the world moves forward with a country called Israel. It can’t exist as a Jewish state to the exclusion of Palestinians.

- Comment on Apple Watch Shipments’ Continuous Decline 1 month ago:
That is absolutely a core feature of Garmin not just a perk. The fact that Apple didn’t include it while doing explicit commercials for biking, running, and swimming was definitely to make it seem like it’s direct competition.
- Comment on Apple Watch Shipments’ Continuous Decline 1 month ago:
Comparing to Garmin where I get daily workout recommendations based on your sleep and recovery. From what I’ve seen the workouts are behind the paywall.
- Comment on Apple Watch Shipments’ Continuous Decline 1 month ago:
Most definitely.
- Comment on Apple Watch Shipments’ Continuous Decline 1 month ago:
It’s also likely driven down by non stop paywalling of features. Consumers like myself are just exhausted. I am only looking for non paywalls devices going forward and if those go away, then I’m going to be done with smart devices. I can’t keep paying hundreds to a thousand dollars for a device only to not be able to get the features of that device unless I keep throwing money at a company. I know they have costs to maintain software and add features but I can’t have perpetual costs on everything I buy.
- Comment on A 19-year-old girl just received the world’s first wireless bionic hands controlled by thoughts 1 month ago:
Since everything is software based, virtually all of it is proprietary, and requires updates; I’m now bearish on any technology that relies on companies continuing to operate and update their software.
Everything is so shitty that even miraculous tech like this could break down when a company goes under or decides to stop making software updates on a whim. I don’t think I’ve read a single dystopian scifi book that imagined corporate control of every minor/major innovation with paywalls and subscriptions that ultimately lead to the enshittification of every facet of our lives. It feels so much worse than we could have imagined.

Just to add the difference. Managed solutions typically has the consulting firm managing the maintenance. In some cases, they take over an existing solution vs the consulting company building something.

We help them build solutions that they then maintain and own. I’m in analytics. So we’re doing data engineering, security, and delivery.

I’m in IT consulting. I have personally done some really cool shit for my clients. Things they didn’t have the talent to do themselves. Business management consulting and tax audit consulting is a completely different story. I don’t help automate away jobs. I’m not presenting decks to strip companies and governments for parts. Needless to say, not all consulting is created equally and my hope is that there comes a time where this bubble bursts this push for AI dies on the vine.

I also work in the industry. In particular I work in data analytics consulting. It’s all hype to sell consulting hours and compute.
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 3 months ago:
AGI is not in reach. We need to stop this incessant parroting from tech companies. LLMs are stochastic parrots. They guess the next word. There’s no thought or reasoning. They don’t understand inputs. They mimic human speech. They’re not presenting anything meaningful.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 3 months ago:
Open ai made $2 billion on $5 billion in losses. Aside from folks on here talking about having it write proposals or spreadsheet formulas; this is not really a monetizable product. Aside from onsie twosie “it helps me write an email” scenarios, this isn’t something anyone should be spending $20 a month to boil the planet for.

Yes
