100% "free" and "local" but with a Google Ads tracking pixel (and no cookie consent banner, so 100% illegal in the EU).

Very cool, but tried pasting a few playlists and it never fetched more than 95/98 tracks (playlist had 100+ tracks in it). I'd be interested in the open source version, so I could run it locally on cron.

Search for "Spotizerr Git". You'll need a premium for downloading flac quality though.

Very interesting (not for a dashcam, but for home monitoring).

Most home monitoring only records when there is movement though? So that already compresses the search space a lot. And just zipping forward and back it's pretty easy to quickly find the 30 seconds where there is a figure wallking up to your front door.

this function will be a must-have for all home security systems. I used to spend hours going through home security cameras to check if our cat went out the house when the door was accidentally left open (turned out it was just really good at hiding within the house).

More info on this? What are you referring to?

My guess is one of them is Fortnite.

Rumor is Fortnite was stuck in development hell for a decade and was used as a punishment assignment for under-performing devs.

The Fortnite team added battle royal mode on a whim after a mediocre initial release and it has churned out five billion a year in revenue every year since.


Why are there so many "slop" animations in this article? They don't actually provide anything useful over the already explained text, and the "click to restart" is incredibly distracting.

Reading the article without Firefox's reader mode is a pain. Maybe it's a secret plan of Mozilla to promote their browser.

Don't all browsers have it nowadays? I feel like it's been in my Brave forever.

Whenever I see stuff like that I ask myself "who is this for", like who wants to see those elements animated for no good reason?

Omg, what fucking world do we live in?

People aren't paying $200 to chat, they're paying to have ClaudeCode or Cowork or Claude for Chrome do the work instead.


The question should really be what is the reservation price of existing buyers.

At some point the price will rise. But the value has to have risen for existing buyers to be ok with that - but can they perceive the value? Hmmm difficult to tell. Benchmarks are not an objective way to measure that.

In the long run google is most likely to acquire a serious cost advantage given their level of vertical integration.


We've been experimenting with claude code handling jira tickets and opening PR -- we're starting with Opus. It costs about $1 per PR that gets merged-- how much does it cost to have a software engineer do that PR? That's your price sensitivity. It will only get cheaper as models get more efficient and people get better at using them, though.


You’re operating in a micro perspective.

Managers of firms care about impact of financials. They don’t care about the metrics you are measuring / gaming. Ultimately all ‘progress’ has to show in the cash flows.

Are you taking more cost reduction projects and more revenue-generating projects? Are you actually delivering? Are customers perceiving you to be as trusted as before? Etc. are the only things that matter. ‘Show me the money’.

To me this is akin to the discussion re. Scrum, agile etc. Who cares? Show me the money.


Totally agree. We cut the scrum this week it is so impractical in the modern world.


Server auction didn't change at all, the lowest price server is still around 33€.


Market for DDR4 is crazy, but not as crazy as DDR5.

Also a symptom of how inelastic hardware demands are. You would expect the purest k8s people to just shove workers on older machines and completely dodge this crisis, but we don't see that at all. Despite being an almost-commodity, many of the hw vendors still have a decent hand.


> Note: All "Server Auction" servers have a 3% price increase across the board.

Mine went from 36.30 EUR to 37.39 EUR, according to the e-mail that I got.

I'm actually very thankful that the Server Auction exists and lets some hardware be used like that, instead of becoming e-waste or something.

For what I get, those prices are more than reasonable. I feel a bit bad about the other prices that saw a way bigger of a hike.


Mine went from €33 to €33.99, so I definitely cannot complain.


Well it's an auction. They only set the starting price, and it keeps lowering periodically until someone buys.

What they can do is:

- Raise the price of already rented servers (which is happening Apr 1)

- Increase the minimum price beyond which a server is removed from auction and dismantled (I believe it is 30 euros right now)


Not the 1st of April yet, so makes sense the prices haven't changed yet


2775 fines for a total of €6.8B since July 2018. It's not A LOT (I would hope for A LOT MORE fines), but it's not nothing.

It’s very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

But also kinda weird. There seems to be a lot of fines for hospitals for example.

Some Portuguese hospital was fined €400,000 for ‘Insufficient technical and organisational measures to ensure information security’


Medical, banking and insurance are three industries that the European data privacy watchdogs are much more strict about because of the potential for damage.
