Not true. Meta’s target demographic aren’t billionaires. They are targeting a wide spectrum of normal people.

I hate these glasses, but why do you need to ban them? Meta operates at scale, so it will only stay in this business if a considerable number of people buy this. Vote with your money. There are legitimate uses for camera glasses (journalism, action sports, etc.).

Meanwhile, Nintendo with a tiny fraction of MS market cap is absolutely killing it with their legacy IP.

Thank you for this. I built a similar open tool for generic mouse customization on macOS (https://github.com/pokstad/mousechords), but I also needed an open Bolt receiver configuration manager.

I was intrigued by nano claws more “secure” marketing, but I couldn’t believe how loose and vibe coded the installation and set up process was. My god it’s full of prompts.

Isn’t the whole point of a brand to be recognizable? If customers couldn’t make this association from the start, what value does this provide?

That's assuming that LLMs aren't approaching some asymptote that doesn't cross over to AGI.

I kept coming back to his course listing to find some that were on site, but they were all online. I wanted to take my current team to the same onsite experience I had with Dave over 15 years ago. Classes taught in person are so much better.

You’re posting on a website hosted in a data center. Lack of self awareness.

That’s a choice. This isn’t a story about someone poor who needs to work at McDonalds to make ends meet to feed their family. We are talking about the top earners in the world who made a decision to make more money than working at a competitor (Google/Apple/Microsoft/etc) where they would still be in the top 1% of earners.

I’ve had the iOS password app think that it changed my password, when it did not, and then lose my old password.
