It is however people that in very high degree support their president.

Only service where I’ve done the region thing. Paying 15 kr a month because I signed up through Argentina.

Recently started. 3 weeks ago or so. I mostly lay down in my bed to be honest. The way you sit is not important here. Get comfortable and make it a habit. Better to be done “sub optimal” than not at all.

I do both guided and just by myself. Tried like 4 different apps, Balance’s guided meditations resonated best with me and is free for a year.

But honestly, it’s not about the right app, the right position and whatnot. Just get started. I do 10-15 minutes before bed every day. Most days I feel like doing more, and that’s fine, I do. But my crucial habit one is always right before bed.

Couldn’t have said it better myself! Lovely that it’s the most upvoted one.

I felt like I had a huge need for alone time with my ex. In reality it was me who had fallen out of love.

With that said it’s obviously important being able to take time to be alone. But do not forget that shared time is equally important.

Programming.

I don’t do it as much as a hobby anymore. But that’s because I switched careers and do it all day for work nowadays!

Fair enough. Guess we just have different views when it comes to that then.

For me “it just works” is much more about the OS. Sending files between my Apple devices in high quality within seconds without internet, browsers and files syncing, having my Airpods switch from phone to Apple TV with the press of a button/automatically, face-id not failing 50% of the time, the watch works when I speak to it and does what I want it to.

These are by no means crazy and things, but I struggle daily at work with my none Apple headset, the windows computer, my android phone. It just “does not work” smoothly. And they all sync horribly with each other for some reason. Files are not easily shared I often end up having to email myself, my headset that cost $400 lives it own life, features are automatically turned on again and again by themselves, for some reason. I have to restart my Microsoft IDE at least 10 times a day. Stuff like that.

You do not get all the features, that’s for sure. But you get less friction. I think that’s what most are getting at with it just works. Less friction.

I mean it’s obviously not news, news. It’s marketing. Most people just don’t care about latency on a product, especially when it’s for use with another - not even released product. What do you expect?

That it just works does not mean I’m bound to Apple apps only. It just works includes having fantastic third party apps that do the job when Apples are lacking.

Calendar, mail, maps, music, password manager and the likes are such for me. But it still “just works”.

Missing features at OS level is one thing. But missing features in a goddamn app, when there are alternatives? Common…

I mean their events are literally held to give news about updates. Revolutionary or not.

Why would they not mention stuff people could make use of, just because it’s not some amazing new things.

Events are rather decent to be honest, no that I look at them. But people do, so it’s very easy to get an overview over upcoming features.

Cool.

Yes, the person did take that into account. That was the whole point. If leather can’t be sold, meat prices will have to become higher (if farmers are not to get less money per cow). This will lower demand for meat, and less cattle will be raised.

Yeah, people who’ve had iPhones for 10 years and never noticed lack of ram, probably do not know what they are looking for.

It was extremely common a couple of years back for apps to close down every time you switched app due to low amounts of ram. It’s much better today though. But definitely noticeable if you stay on a phone to long of a time.

They spoke usb-c like a minute, two tops. While speaking of the environment for a good fifteen.

What you describe did not happen, at all.

You obviously do not live in a cold country. iPhones up until version 5-6 or so (when this was introduced) was notorious for turning off at 25-30% battery if it was slightly cold outside (sub 5 degree Celsius or so). It was a horrible experience that was completely removed by clocking down processors of battery worn phones.

I’ve never heard of a person turning off the option now when we’ve got the choice either.

It’s 100% beneficial to the customer.

Though, they should’ve been clearer with what they did and added a toggle from the start. Which is why they were fined.

Of course there is. But weather forecasting have also gotten ridiculously much more accurate with time. Better data, better models. We’ll get there with language models as well.

I’m not arguing language models of today are amazingly accurate, I’m arguing they can be. That they are statistical models is not the problem. That they are new statistical models are.

So you can feed a weather model weather data, but you cannot feed a language model, programming languages and get accurate predictions?

Basically no one is saying that “yeah I just go off the output, it’s perfect”. People use it to get a ballpark and then they work off that. Much like a meteorologist would do.

It’s not 100% or 0%. With imperfect data, we get imperfect responses. But that’s no difference from a weather model. We can still get results that are 50% or 80% accurate with less than 100% correct information. Given that a large enough amount of the data is correct.

Well, we are back at my earlier point. There is no need for knowledge if the statistical models are good enough.

A weather forecast does not have any knowledge whatsoever. It has data and statistical models. No one goes around dismissing them due to them not have any knowledge. Sure, we can be open to the fact that the statistical models are not perfect. But the models have gotten so good that they are used in people’s everyday life with rather high degree of certainty, they are used for hurricane warnings and whatnot, saving tens of thousands of life’s - if not more - yearly.

Your map app has no knowledge either. But it’s still amazing for knowing with a high degree of certainty how much time you’ll need from place A to B and which route will be shortest. Even taking live traffic into account. We could argue it’s just a parrot on steroid, that has been fed with billions of data points with some statistics on top, and say that it doesn’t know anything. But it’s such a useless point, because knowledge is not necessary if the data and statistical models are sound enough.

Meh.

That’s a very fallibilistic viewpoint. There are lots of certainties that can be answered correctly.

It’s just very quick at doing simple things you already could do - or doing things that you’d need to think about for a couple of minutes.

I wouldn’t trust it to do things I couldn’t achieve. But for stuff I could, it’s often much quicker. And I’m well equipped to check what it’s doing myself.

Statistical sentence generator gets thrown around so much, if anything I doubt people actually understand what can be achieved through just that. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t know anything. If it can generate sentences statistically with a 100% correct and proficient outcome, it’d always be correct regardless of its lack of knowledge.

We’re not at 100%. But we’re not at 10% either.
