I am a neophyte regarding pros and cons of each model. I am learning the ropes, writing shell scripts, a tiny Mac app, things like that.

Reading about all the “rage switching”, isn’t it prudent to use a model broker like GH Copilot with your own harness or something like oh-my-pi? The frontier guys one up each other monthly, it’s really tiring. I get that large corps may have contracts in place, but for an in indie?


There could be 4x buyers at $10. I’d be one of the now, the dock is a constant annoyance.

The app looks great, downloading the trial now.

To the app’s author I’d say get as many licensees as you can fast before you’re Sherlocked or somebody vibecodes a clone out of “why not”.

I use many free and paid apps, little QoL types, like BetterDisplay, Coctail, etc and for me the included support is of little value. These apps are not mission critical.

There is also Setapp [0], might give you instant access to user base that favors such apps.

If the “billionaires” AI us out of our livelihoods will they need to learn how to pour a perfect espresso shot or use a voltage tester when they need to change a light bulb? Who’s gonna run the data centers and unclog toilets? They themselves? The thing is out of the bottle, regulations won’t help. What’s the end game like, some neo-feudalism with benevolent UBI serfdom and everyone on welfare?

I feel like some of them are thinking of a world with far fewer people in it, and all the tasks you described are handled robots designed to do their bidding.

How we get from now to a time with far fewer people, well, use your imagination.


My current gen Mini is my Reeder, HN, and Balatro machine. Balatro is intolerable on my 15 Max. $400 well spent and i dont care to share it anyone else.


There are “service providers” on EBay that I’ve used in the past to unlock iPads used by former unresponsive employees. Not sure about exact situation, in my case they defeated the iCloud lock. Was about a $100 a pop. All done remotely.


Surely you are aware that WhatsApp is a product of a tiny US co. Meta? Funny how the world sans the US is so in love with it. Shouldn’t the EU be out on the streets boycotting it?


It’s hard to force yourself to eat at all while on Ozempic. Yet, you need the protein, and yogurt, cottage cheese and protein bars go down easier than regular meals.


> It’s hard to force yourself to eat at all while on Ozempic

If that's true for you, or someone you know, your dosage is too high, and/or you should consider dosing a lower amount more frequently.


I see this sentiment everywhere, but I eat more than I did now that I am on Ozempic (1.7). I've always been perpetually starving + lift weights every day since I was a teen though.

Haven't noticed muscle mass decrease either, at least from the perspective that I can do the same reps / sets for my weight routine.


The Verge was discussed at least 2 times, most recently yesterday, on the Wheel Bearings podcast (which I enjoy for the simple motorhead banter). https://overcast.fm/+AA7tJqdxHkE

Robbie from SAE International, who is of the hosts, and an avid motorcyclist, is impressed with the bike and the promise of SSBs. I only ride bicycles, can’t comment on the bike itself, but thought to share and widen their audience. It was kind of a mini shallow yet “deep dive”. It doesn’t seem to be mentioned on their own site for this episode, but the chapter in Overcast is the last one, linking to https://sustainablecareers.sae.org/article/donut-lab-verge-s...


I don’t know how, but there are BYD city buses in Miami.


BYD makes buses in SoCal.


US dealers and manufacturers have no financial incentive in promoting and selling EVs. They can’t survive on fixing window chips, rotating tires and occasional bodywork alone. It’s a huge industry with long tentacles.

And when they do or did have incentives, they were not passed on to the consumers. My 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 had a $57K sticker. That’s not what I paid for it and cheapish leases are aplenty- but - when the federal $7500 credit expired, they simply dropped the MSRP by that much if not more. BMW and others are pursuing the same strategy in the states. The car was never worth near that much to begin with. They were and are jacking up prices and pocketing the change.

BYD is dumping.
