I use LLMs to design things and build wireframes. Product people can actually play with the wireframes and it's trivial to implement changes. And same LLM generated files can be used to guide the LLM to build the actual pages too.

> Recently, Uber's chief exec claimed there was no link between AI 'tokenmaxxing' and shipping useful products. It's a phenomenon perhaps most keenly reported at Amazon (which some X users have speculated may be the mystery company in question), where employees are said to have been caught inflating AI token consumption to meet internal targets.

So it's Amazon?

I was using my company dev machine via Windows RDP remotely during Covid and installed Glasswire which by default blocks all traffic so I lost access. No one was there to uninstall it so I continued development in my personal machine.

What are those 27 categories? Can't find anything online

I am on the fence between Libra and Clara (smaller than Libra). What do you recommend? Do you wish you had gone with a smaller version? Weight, easy to hold etc.

Price difference is negligible but I am confused by the size difference and ease of use

I am using it in a table where sorting by id (primary key) should also sort it by created time (newer records should have "bigger" id).

The id would be exposed to users. An integer would expose the number of records in it.

Am I using right guys?

Somewhat related:

I could never get adb in my M1 Air (Tahoe and Sonoma too) to detect any android devices.

I have an OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G.

Same cable and everything works fine on Ubuntu and Windows machines.

The phone is not getting detected in the "System Information" either.

Tried MTP, PTP, USB Debugging, OTG everything.

Anyone faced this issue?
