What is useful marketing in saying "we could have made more money but accidentally didn't"?

They literally announced the products early and profiting on this coverage.

So is the news outlet that is speculating for clicks.

For sure... Just that wasn't the argument.

So are video games. The GTA6 pricing controversy has been really confusing, this is one of the cheapest games of its story/depth size in all video gaming history.

Not really the point of the article but the praise for NIN participating in the culture bothers me, because in the late 90s one could visit nineinchnails.net and just straight up download decent quality MP3s (and some MP2s!!) of the entire NIN discog, until one day (I think in 1999? 2000?) they removed all the tracks. :(

Of course, my bother is rooted in my little unemployed unmoneyed 13 year old self who didn't have access to NIN CDs at the time, but did have access to my friend's internet when I visited his house.

In the early 2010s I uploaded an ALAC copy of an album through iTunes (and I guess iCloud Music???) that still has not appeared on any streaming service, and it remains accessible on any of my devices today. And now that my preferred streaming service is Apple Music, the album is accessible whenever/wherever I want.

When Apple gets something right, they really do get it right. A shame a lot of other aspects of Apple Music are bad or wrong.

I'm having the opposite experience. I have tons of music in Itunes and they are all DRM from early itunes. Apparently they predate the DRM-free era? I have no idea how to get the DRM free versions.

Consumers are already paying Amazon and Netflix directly.

Not really, the purpose of Excel is pretty clear cut and the scope is small.

Preventing a human-like general purpose textbot from engaging in certain discussions and performing certain tasks seems like a natural thing to do given the massive scope of its capabilities. None of these tools are sold with free license to do whatever with them anyway.

No. Excel is a general purpose tool that can be used for calculating tasks that are good, neutral, or evil things. It's a fancy calculator.

> the purpose of Excel is pretty clear cut and the scope is small.

That has to be the understatement of the century.

I don’t think excel can give me the instructions for building a house or how to cook a particular meal or write my emails for me. The potential output of LLMs is quite obviously more broad than excel.

What’s the point when they will remove those guardrails when competition reaches their levels. Shows that they don’t Reddit care about “safety” at all

It's a cute and funny name.

How would you keep it from filling up with weeds in any reasonably grass-friendly climate?

I just pay someone $50/week to mow my lawn and I pay zero attention to it. If we have a mini-drought and the grass turns brown, oh well.

Kill your lawn and let the native plants take over.

I'd rather not get a bunch of ticks while walking to my door.

If you kill the lawn, won't the invasive plants take over?

Even if they were going to, you could just seed it with some native, low-growing "groundcover": clovers, fescues, whatever is in your area.

Unfortunately we get the inflation anyway from military action in/around Iran.
