<p>I got my first MacOS device, a Macbook Air, recently and was annoyed to find the toggle for 'natural scrolling' is unified between the trackpad and the mouse. I use the macbook docked 90% of the time. So, I asked ChatGPT if there was a way to script toggling the natural scrolling setting. ChatGPT immediately produced a working script and the instructions to create the Shortcut and assign it to a keyboard shortcut. Now I can press Ctrl-Shift-S and toggle natural scrolling.<p>Even as a programmer, I would have never spent the time necessary to learn the relevant scripting language for this task. I've got other things to do. But ChatGPT knew exactly what to do and now to implement the task, even on the newest version of MacOS.</p>

<p>It would be great to have some useful information about the failure condition for FSD in this situation but the author provides essentially nothing.<p>> The car was making a turn. Something felt off—the steering wheel jerked one way, then the other, and the car decelerated in a way I didn’t expect.<p>I use the latest FSD in an M3 and I have noticed it behave indecisively when changing lanes, not so much when turning, but I believe the author's account.<p>> I turned the wheel to take over. I don’t know exactly what the system was doing, or why. I only know that somewhere in those seconds, we ended up colliding with a wall.<p>The author disengaged FSD (reasonable when concerned) and ran into a wall.<p>I almost never let go of the steering wheel when FSD is driving. I want to be able to take over with the minimum delay. I don't know that I'll ever trust it to drive unsupervised.<p>It's an unbelievable driver-assistance system. But you need to treat it as such. Tesla may market it, and name it, otherwise, but anybody using FSD should quickly realize it has limits.</p>

<p>I think it's okay to complain about the design and presentation of the ads even on a free service. It's unreasonable to expect sites not to have some form of monetization of users that are not going to pay for the content, but that monetization should be reasonable and thoughtful. Of course, we can simply avoid that site altogether.</p>

<p>A nice feature of the Apple Card is the very fast processing of transactions. I can pay for something and have it show up as pending and clear within a day. Whereas my bank credit card will leave transactions pending for an average of five days. The fast clearing is not a huge deal, but it's nice as it pairs well with a daily YNAB routine.<p>The actual rewards are pretty average, but that's okay. I don't really get the elitism I'm seeing in the comments from people who act like you're an idiot for not juggling a half-dozen cards with varying annual fees and rotating bonus points categories. For people who don't travel, rent cars, dine out, etc. the Apple card is a fine everyday card given the number of places that qualify for 2%. In the end, for people making the average US salary, +/-1% in limited categories is not worth the administrative overhead and credit impact of managing a bunch of cards.<p>I personally enjoy some of the min-maxing involved in managing cards/finances, but I wouldn't go as far as to call somebody 'financially illiterate', as one commenter did, for using the physical apple card and receiving 1% back on the rare occasion contactless payment doesn't work somewhere.</p>

<p>From what I can tell, based on an excerpt of an interview with Colin, Mr Beast had a bunker-related video and visited Colin's bunker. As a viewer of Colin's channel and not Mr Beast, it seemed very strange, but makes more sense if there was a more substantial collaboration taking place in a different video stream.</p>

<p>Because, obviously, you should be spending all of your waking time thinking about LLMs, agents, and how you can integrate them into every part of your life. If you have been living properly in the age of impending-AGI, you would have already been desperately seeking more opportunities to interact with these systems. That desperation would have led you to independently discover agents and all the ways you could couple yourself to them even when away from your computer. Are you a parent stuck at home experiencing life with your kids instead of sitting at your desk? Why not escape such a hellscape by whipping out your phone and building a SaaS from your phone while your offspring annoys you with requests for attention and meaningless affection?<p>---<p>Really, this whole environment of 'coding from my phone with dozens of agents while I'm doing the laundry' feels like satire of the sorts of things we used to laugh at on Linkedin.</p>

<p>A fantastic video from Matt, as usual.<p>Yet another data point on why nobody should be wasting a second watching Mr Beast content. Complete algorithmically optimized garbage.<p>I recall Mr Beast showing up in a Colin Furze video for a few minutes and Mr Beast was very clearly incapable of being a normal person. He was obviously out of place, being in full makeup and styled, and couldn't seem to be bothered to actually engage or express real interest in the subject. I think the guy has replaced his real persona with some manifestation of the YouTube algorithm. If he's not actively making money, he's just a shell.</p>

<p>I'm a huge fan of YNAB. It's a morning routine to log in (really, the tab is always up) and reconcile accounts. The zero-based budgeting method, while not requiring YNAB, is beautifully represented in the software. I'm sure I could use some free software to accomplish the basic tasks but having an associated app my spouse can review for quick decision making is very valuable.<p>It's made budgeting a tool to accomplish savings, wealth growth, and expense smoothing rather than simply a survival strategy. When you have to deliberately shift funds out of one category to cover another, you really consider the relative priorities.</p>

<p>Some people act like the use of an LLM immediately invalidates or lowers the value of a piece of content. But the case of a question or simple post, especially by somebody for whom English is second language, using an LLM to rephrase or clean-up some text seems like an innocent and practical use case for LLMs.</p>

<p>That's cool. I hadn't heard of that, before. I had a related idea for achieving plausible deniability of the key in full disk encryption or similar scenarios. The password would be derived from the position of sensitive, yet innocuous, elements on the device, ensuring that the seizure of the device would likely corrupt this relationship. For instance, a series of N-sided dice could be placed in specific positions on top of the device (in the case of a desktop computer, perhaps), and the password derived from their sequence. Consideration must also be given to the possibility of the device being photographed—likely from a single angle—before being moved. So, the dice would be positioned to include some amount of occlusion. Any dice-based algorithm would need to ensure the search space for the resulting key was sufficiently large.</p>
