Here "consume" means far more than just "drank". If you take a shower at home, you are consuming water. Wash your car? Consume water. Water your garden? Consume water.

To be fair AI models are being replaced multiple times a year these days.... So yeah, in 2 years it should be killed, because improved models should exist.

Exactly. Microsoft also has the benefit of double-dipping - they have Xbox, but they also get a healthy cut from PC as a vast majority of gamers are going to be running Windows.

This article feels very much like a fanboy wanting to keep the stupid "console wars" going, when really Microsoft is happy to just rake in the cash.

By all accounts the past couple seasons he just shows up drunk to record his lines, be obnoxious in the office for a couple hours and then go home.

The actual writing and content hasn't really involved him. So assuming they can find a voice that isn't too jarring, odds are the average person won't know or care and the show will be just fine.

Oh boy, between the writers strike and actors strike we are in for a year of reality shows being shoved out the door...

AirBNB is only good if it is an extremely unique/convenient location and there are no hotels reasonably nearby. Otherwise Hotel absolutely > AirBNB

Thank you for the web link, TIL it is much more common than I was aware!

In all seriousness, is the Dev using the build date as the version number....? July 8th, 2023 at 12:34am - vYY.MM.DD-HH.mm

Unusual approach for sure as you have no clue if it is a major version change or minor bug fixes.

This is insanely cool... I don't know why it never occurred to me that bots on other platforms could work here due to federation, but it makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing!

"plunges" by a whole 10%, and primarily only during the initial 2 days. Has since mostly rebounded. That is disappointing.

Will see what happens July 1st of course when apps finally stop working.

That was what I got from the article too. That the 700k was lost opportunity due to a poor user experience, not that it actually was them spending more money.

I was able to confirm that the database includes email address and password hash.

Uhhhh not loving that if true... Why would password hashes need to be sent all over the planet...? That's a security bomb just ticking.

Shouldn't each instance only need to be tracking user Metadata, with only the original users instance handling authentication...? After all my personal interaction is happening on my instance.
