why does it feel like they are creating something so its more difficult to use a competitor?

so this doesn't function as a security camera too?

too true...and doesn't that miss out on one of apple's power plays? Their hardware ecosystem (their software ecosystem was touched on a little).

Change that ugly base - wall mounts are nice but dangling cords are not.

the ad did a good job of displaying all the features of the new device, of course it left out the parts I would have liked as a parent who's already dealt with these types of devices. I mean apple had the benefit of 20/20 vision and could have looked into blocking little kids from just going to it to watch YouTube. It could have also solved the issue that dad's around the world would have united against: locking who gets to set the thermostat.

that said, also what's with the kids being disrespectful, untruthful, dismissive, and patronizing (in that order) to their parents...I bet these kids were a joy to be around as toddlers and will continue to be so as "formed" adults

The snarkiness is just typical American ad style, like 80% of ads are like this, even simple three sentence exchanges. It's actually quite fascinating, because it stands out from any other culture's advertising I know.

I think it was started by the American sitcom culture, the sharp witted, but also confrontational, borderline aggressive comebacks. I am not an expert but I feel like Cheers might have pioneered it?

Disagree, pairing has helped me in the past to reach answers more quickly and at the same time means that more than one person is familiar with a codebase (which is a helps reduce bus factor)

same, nicely executed, except for the building part :(

Will investigate and fix the issues!

> As per the bot analysts at Tom’s Hardware, bot traffic from the Yandex network has dropped to just 0.4% of the maximum number of HTTP requests recorded in the past two weeks.

I wonder if this is what is being referred to

That in turn comes from

> Cloudflare reports that bot traffic from the Yandex network has dropped to just 0.4% of the maximum number of HTTP requests recorded in the past two weeks

Cloudflare doesn't track twitter posts, does it? But requests to sites on its network. The kind of thing Yandex's search crawlers would be hitting.

Also note (I think) the TH article also initially claimed this was talking about bot posts on social media, but now doesn't?

Basically, Pewdiepie hits dead ends trying to distill “Ajax” from OpenAI's models, which is what got him banned twice, and his response was that OpenAI took everyone's data first, so why not me too.
