This is probably the worst use of AI possible.

(But I’m guilty of it myself… through Kagi! I postfix the query with an interrogation point and boom, I have my answer. I only do it for trivial things, or things I can verify easily, though.)

in terms of cost, maybe. in terms of my effort, I dunno. but you're right, it's environmentally unsound. I don't usually compute with that lens, though.

There you go.

I don't understand how I can trust that it doesn't link anything together on the server.

> For me, Google web search is about as relevant to my life as Yahoo search. Something I used to use, something that used to be better, but which I’ve found a vastly superior alternative to.

Same here.

Here’s a web archive link where we could see it marked as experimental. [0]

That’s good, I’ve fully switched (ha!) to `switch`, it’s way better.

I use fastmail, I love it. I have a catchall and thus can use a different address per service. Leads to sometimes awkward conversations as to why the email address contains the company name in it, but can also be a life saver. For instance, free recently got hacked and all their email db was online. I can just block this email address and not receive the spam. Fastmail itself is reliable and fast on the web, but I only use it through IMAP anyways. It works perfectly.

This is one of the numerous advantages of Swift: arguments are labeled.

Lightning Connector was not killed by Apple though. Not really.

Is there any evidence that it was "years of regulatory and industry pressure" that did it?

When Apple introduced Lightning it was as the "modern connector for the next decade" and... that's exactly what happened.

I personally agree, but the general public seems to think the EU had something to do with it.

Honestly this regulation should never have happened IMHO…

Arguably if anything killed by EU

I have bought Infuse and it’s one of the best purchase I ever made, maybe.

I’m subscribed to Infuse Pro for several years now, and I agree it’s one of the top purchases I’ve made (and keep paying for).

The lists, drive shares and libraries on Infuse are more than enough for me. I didn’t have an interest in adding Plex or Jellyfin (or Emby?) to the mix.

This makes no sense.

Your table saw does not randomly cut sideways because it “feels” like it. AI might.

You’d be surprised at the things table saws do when the wood has imperfections. I’ve had to buy new lumber when I fuck up a rip. Circular saws are maybe a better example because with both those and AI you need skills to use them properly.

If you’re searching for a language that has the same strong memory safety than rust but is a bit easier to write, you should give Swift a go.

Good call. It’s not the first language I think of for most things but there’s no great reason why not to. I probably reach for Rust first because I’m more familiar with it and the projects I want to work on were already written in it.
