I got sent to immigration secondary while crossing the border in Amsterdam earlier this week because they were worried I was taking videos of their “military object” with my meta glasses. They told me to take them off while i’m at the airport.

This is so silly — they only record when you press a button, not continuously, and they can only record for like 3 mins max and there’s a light that indicates to everyone around you when they are recording.

Meanwhile there’s a bunch of people in line with their phones out, which do not indicate when the camera is on. But somehow that’s different.

It’s a bummer because they’re great for taking family photos/videos. Also great as an Airpods replacement. A little flimsy but the tech is 90% there.

I wish Apple made them instead of Meta — I think they’d do a better job of bringing them to the market while maintaining public trust.

Is getting something like M3 Ultra with 512GB ram and doing oss models going to be cheaper for the next year or two compared to paying for claude / codex?

Did anyone do this kind of math?

that's what i ended up doing — it was pretty easy:

* download Warcraft II voices

* tell claude to wire it all up

I'm no EV expert, but I almost never use my EV's brakes — it mostly brakes using regenerative braking.

funny i was recently picking between a glossy and nano texture screen and came to the opposite conclusion — the glossy screen’s image was so much more crisp, and i didn’t really see much difference in terms of reflection

I have terabytes of iphone photos/videos accumulated over the years. Apple Photos app is trash when it comes to handling large libraries so I’ve been splitting them by year which is fine for archiving but horrible for actually browsing photos.

Immich has been absolutely awesome for this — I can finally look at all my pictures from any year from anywhere in the world. I’m very happy and hope the creators find a way to sustainably finance the project.

The upload feature in the mobile app is not a 1 to 1 replacement of apple photos import so i still do that via apple photos, but that’s something I can live with.

Many jobs aim to solve problems so well that there’s nothing left to fix — doctors curing illnesses, firefighters preventing fires, police reducing crime, pest control eliminating infestations, or electricians making lasting repairs. And that’s totally fine — people still have jobs, and when it works, it’s actually great for everyone.

Would love to see this in Cursor. My workaround right now is using a bunch of rules that sort of work some of the time.

Not the first time i see such comparison being made, but it is the first time I see someone go into so much detail about it — great read.

The robotic takeover has already begun; it's just more nuanced and less obvious at this stage.

How much would you pay for a 20x20 inch piece?
