No, I used to work in a newspaper and we were switching between text editing, graphic design and image processing tools for our work. This makes a lot of sense! That said, most magazines and newspapers have designated people to focus on each of these and the chances of one person having to shift between all three is a little narrow.

And then it can still end in a draw

To judge local or not, I would consider use of phrases and word as well, and not just the accent. Perhaps, that's what is working for you?

Yes, these are faces, but why do they look like pillars to me? Ornamented and sculpted pillars are pretty common across civilizations and I can imagine sloping tent like roof set up that are held up by these pillars. How does one separate a pillar and a obelisk?

What's the point of GenAI in a manufacturing pipeline? Good ol' ML based AI automation is heavily used in larger manufacturing plants to identify defects

Large companies negotiate and get lower rates, but individuals get the sticker price. So it is in Microsoft's interest if more people took up the individual option. That said, I don't see it working in companies where everything is locked down.

Next up, new job requirements added to job listings. MS 365 required.

I've been using the RayBan Meta glasses for a while now, and the main reason I like them is because they do not have a display (https://balanarayan.com/2024/12/31/ray-ban-meta-long-term-re...). Another screen to glare at is the last thing I need, but I can imagine there are people who want one of this.

I use them for taking videos when I'm out and for listening to music without putting on headphones or earphones. While it is not the best at anything, it is definitely capable of doing a lot of things well enough and that is what matters a lot of times.

Same, but I would love to have map navigation displayed occasionally. I use bicycle in the city a lot and so many times I had to pull the phone (+unlock with face ID) while cycling, just to see the directions, and it's both frustrating and dangerous.

I use the voice guidance of Google Maps for it and in that context, Rayban is just a bluetooth piece.

A smart watch or bike computer fixes this problem already.

The OS might be getting worse, but I can't think of a laptop that holds up to Macbook Air at ita price point.

Until my 15" MBAir purchase last year, it had been seventeen years since I'd purchased a laptop (edit: M2Pro Mini was first new computer in fifteen years).

CostCo had a $850 deal for an M3 Air, and as soon as I picked it up the sales clerk was printing my purchase ticket. It is so light, and the feet actually seem like they'll last a few years (unlike the solid-body designs since 2009).

Keyboard is fantastic. Battery life is unreal. Screen is beautiful.

I have been a full-time Macintosh user since 1991 (I remember fully 68k->PPC->x86->Silicon), and only recently set up my first Linux machine (because the modern OEM OS's are increasingly too invasive with AI'ification), a re-purposed MacPro5,1 #4evr

I don't write online anymore. All my journal entries sit in a notes app (I use Obsidian) because I realised that the goal is for me to write for my own memory and reflection. Writing online is doing free labout for AI models. No thank you!

The author is making a point with that live example :)
