You know it's funny. Awhile ago I subscribed only to watch Stranger Things, I paid for the 1080 HD plan.

4K is clearly incentivized. Any how, I called to complain at the time. My opinion is the picture instantly got notably better when I tried standard HD again. There seems to be different degradations of 1080 and 4K.

I rarely use yt-dlp anymore.

Before I just updated. Now when I do that, it usually becomes complex and full of questions.

The brief video OpenAI did sets the stage as I see it - for an evolving kind of engineer. Who will think and design as much as know code.

What I meant is that I’ve noticed cable-provider hotspots often stop working inside cafes like Starbucks and you can reconnect to them as soon as you step outside.

Captive Wi-Fi has changed at cafes and businesses. My experience is, Starbucks blocks local hot-spots. You're forced to use their Captive Wi-Fi and only their Wi-Fi. This formerly wasn't an allowed thing.

Are they mining data? Does this promote some ambiance? There's probably 3 different answers, and you'll normally hear 1 is the reason.

Right. Check out the products they started with. Lots of YouTube out there on the topic.

Yes even lifts, pickers, etc are in the realm of not having financial-econ impact for the groups that have invested or bought them.

Certainly this AI report is prone to error and needs clarification. But it's a great starting point. Would love to see the page expanded on with sources. This:

    business-software-applications: 20,248
    software-engineering: 16,992
    cybersecurity-engineering: 11,476
    software-engineering-leadership: 10,608
    data-and-analytics: 10,379
    machine-learning-and-ai-engineering: 8,793
    full-stack-software-engineering: 8,369
    java-software-engineering: 8,114
    software-quality-assurance-and-testing: 6,250
    devops-engineering: 5,381

Should be broken down with a tree that shows location.

The market kept seeing huge gains despite the inflation and recession narrative circa Dec 2022-Jan 2025. This one should be interesting too. Truth is, we're in a bull market. NPR is CNBC is NPR

This was great stream of consciousness. Sub-stack is more appealing now.

Logistics are a nice guard rail for the pro-sport wealth management conversation. Let's presume rates of success are still low. Why.

Consciousness. We all have a wealth consciousness.

Originals are far superior to the processed Internet Archive versions.

eg The Batman Animated series on there is usually sub par, low quality.

Uploading something? Expect it to be processed no matter the format.

> Ironically this is also why there is so much existential fear about AI in the media. LLMs will do to them what they do to primary sources (and more likely just cut them out of the loop).

Maybe.. not. LLMs may just flow where the money goes. Open AI has a deal with the FT, etc.

The AI platforms haven't touched any UI devolution at all because they're a hot commodity.

> Quite why the judge is so concerned about the rise of AI factoring in here is beyond me.

Maybe because this remains Googles biggest threat. I'm still more impressed by other models. Public ones at least.

So much for losing Chrome browser. Was there ever reality to this to begin with. Or was it all extracted sensationalism.

This is accurate. And taken for granted in the US.

Someone once remarked to me: "I think it's cool you can just pick up and go anywhere (on a huge scale)" - They were from the Netherlands.

>I don't think considering his proposal might have damaged NASA's reputation. I also don't think the interstellar object is an alien probe, I just was excited we got a chance at looking at an interstellar object, that may be totally unlike Solar System objects, and possibly far older. Crap?

There's one image on the NASA page and others. Any more links?
