I'll join in saying I also daily Safari for generale usage (with only two extensions installed 1Blocker and Are.na) and I have basically zero issues.
I also do dev work in Firefox + Safari. I use Firefox mainly because I prefer their dev tools to do frontend work. Chrome I almost never use. This insistence that Safari is the new IE is honestly baffling. Yes Safari is not perfect and yes Apple is Apple. Still, Safari is far from being a train wreck.
Thank you for making this thread btw. Gonna be quite useful for me as well since I run a few blog related side projects and I might end up contacting quite a few of the people on this thread.
TIL that we invented electricity. This comment is insane but Pichai said that “AI is one of the most important things humanity is working on. It is more profound than, I dunno, electricity or fire” so at this point I’m not surprised by anything when it comes to AI and stupid takes
It isn’t. What’s surprising is the level of bullshit. More profound than fire and electricity seems a bit exaggerated. Why stop there at that point? Might as well say AI is more important to the human species than oxygen.
There seems to be kind of an arms race in saying absurd things at this point. If you restrict yourself to saying merely quite silly things, you’ll look unambitious next to Altman to ai hype idiots on Twitter, after all.
> payment is a huge barrier to commerce these days, people think LLMs will change the world, but payment tech/laws will have a bigger effect in my opinion.
Having a native way to send micropayments on the web without having to pay a huge % of that transaction to Visa/Mastercard and Stripe and Co would be such massive game changer when it comes to this stuff.
As a silly example, every time I collect 1$ for my 1$/month club I actually get ~70c which is wild.
I agree with you, if there was a better way to directly send small amounts to people running interesting sites or projects the whole landscape could change.
And I also agree that a change in attitude is needed. I appreciated your comment.
Technological advancement seems like a pretty big culprit here? An MRI wasn't available at any price in 1982 so the fact that it's available now makes it look like "imaging prices have gone up" even though the imaging that was available in 1982 is cheaper now than it was then.
My exact reaction every time I hear people discuss Siri. I don’t think I used it once in my life and it’s one of the first thing I turn off every time I have a new device. So interesting to see how different people use the same devices in completely different ways.
You can use Siri to call custom Shortcuts which in turn can ask for more details if required. And now that Shortcuts can make use of the LLMs (Apple’s or ChatGPT), there are a lot more ways to make Siri smarter.
