Hah! I had forgotten this ad. Using a mac nowadays is definitely just like Windows Vista in this ad.

Wait so a startup that didn’t innovate much should have a bigger moat? If their work can be copied in 2 weeks maybe they don’t have anything?

I’d argue it’s a superior mouse even with the drift, even though I agree that the drift is annoying and am amazed they have not been able to fix it all these years.

Yes, you get pure fructose which is processed by your liver. With normal sugar you get a mix of fructose and sucrose, so less fructose.

Excessive consumption of fructose leads to fatty liver and is just generally bad for you.

I have been listening to a whole lot of AI music and it is often better than human generated. I foresee an immense unavoidable shift in the music industry due to this. It is already impossible to distinguish what is AI and and what is human generated music.

Ask HN: Reading and watching suggestions for future scenarios for AI?

It is quite clear that AI is massively affecting everything around us. I am looking for any recommendations on books, videos or any other content that revolves around future scenarios on where to road with AI will lead to.

Why do American corporate PR statements read like a teen drama novel nowadays?

Not sure if that is the case. An insane amount of bitcoin has been dumped into the market by whales.

The US controls the oil monopoly, where as China controls battery minerals.

The US can’t compete in electric vehicles solely due to lack of control over the complete supply chain.

Would you then argue for Youtube to take the Netflix path and not provide non-paying users anything?

I’m surprised to hear that. I just switched from Spotify to Youtube Music and found the audio quality to be way better, even though I had Spotify set to high.

I’m a paying customer, but my biggest issue is that the content and suggestions themselves are still ads. I feel like I am paying to remove ads from within my ads.

The videos I am being recommended are still about how natural McDonalds food is, how this natural supplement from XYZ is disrupting healthcare and how this coffee machine will revolutionize the way I make coffee.

If the recommendation algorithm would be a bit less corporate, I’d be a happy customer. That, plus Apple Watch standalone Youtube Music app.

To top it off, the issue isn’t dyes, it’s artificial dyes. You can still dye your mint ice cream green, it will just be a slightly lighter shade of green.
