Had an original SE as banking backup. Recently the banking app demanded a newer iOS after being updated. Now that good old little device that was supposed to save me eventually is basically bricked for me.
Me, my wife and my mom are all using the second SE. My mom is the only one who has updated to the newest iOS. I didn't want to because I heard rumors it was slow. But I tried my mom's phone and it seems as snappy as my phone (more or less, not the fastest phone to begin with, but not slow either). So I'm going to update too.
Replaced the original iPhone SE battery recently with a higher capacity one. Works perfectly. Many apps require an update or else they refuse tor run, but outside of that, still doing well.
I'm on my 8th year of using my original iPhone SE, have replaced the battery a few times and the screen a couple of times. It's still doing what I need it to do on iOS 15, but I noticed a few big names apps have stopped supporting iOS 15 in the past year so the installed versions are the last compatible versions (e.g. the installed versions of Uber and Netflix are > 6 months old).
Performance-wise, it can stutter a bit on modern websites and sometimes in some apps, but otherwise works reasonably well. A few weeks ago I noticed it was struggling more than usual and chewing up more battery, but then I cleared up some disk space and it's been running fine.
The minimum supported iOS version for some of my must-have apps (e.g. WhatsApp, my banking app) is currently iOS 15, so I imagine when that changes I'll need to finally upgrade my phone. Feels like its days are numbered.
Never used a HHKB (and would miss the modifier keys too), but after daily driving Topre switches for about 1.5 years, I can confirm they are fantastic switches and worth every penny.
I sometimes write directly in VSCode and use the preview mode there. I've also used Obsidian but it always felt kinda heavy and distracting for pure writing, though great for managing a large group of .mds in folders.
Just anecdata, but as someone who first learned HTML/JS/CSS, then PHP, shell, TypeScript, Python, other popular langs... Perl's syntax hurts my brain. :(
> Also makes me want to make my own little ssg in whatever way I see fit.
Go for it, it's fun! I made one in TypeScript recently as a way to improve my skills there. Be warned though, completing one SSG may lead to wanting to start another haha.
I think it's fascinating work even if LLMs aren't the ideal tool for this job right now.
There were some experiments with embodied LLMs on the front page recently (e.g. basic robot body + task) and SOTA models struggled with that too. And of course they would - what training data is there for embodying a random device with arbitrary controls and feedback? They have to lean on the "general" aspects of their intelligence which is still improving.
With dedicated embodiment training and an even tighter/faster feedback loop, I don't see why an LLM couldn't successfully pilot a drone. I'm sure some will still fall of the rails, but software guardrails could help by preventing certain maneuvers.
I agree with you and I think we're changing at every moment, all the time, but it's usually gradual enough that most people don't notice or care until it manifests as new behavior.
My life is materially the same as it was on Friday but I definitely feel different after events this weekend.
A lot of email services that provide the aliasing feature have seamless integration with password managers, so when you sign up you generate a unique email and password on the fly, and it get saved in the manager.
isn’t this easy for a potential attacker to mitigate, i.e. dropping from the address everything after the plus? it’s a known trick for gmail so i would not be surprised if an attacker knew how to get to the “real” address by cleaning it up.
Yes, even some attackers I noticed they excluded all custom domains from their dumps to avoid alerting individuals before they sell it. It’s why it’s better to have a fully unique email, preferably masked one (not custom domains) as some email services provider do, so you get the isolation feature but also blending in without going noticed by attackers.
