Quicksilver for Mac OS X was the original one of these apps AFAIR. And it appears it predates all of those (launchy, etc)

I prefer Alfred these days myself.

You can even do similar with just Spotlight on macOS and the Start Menu in Windows 10+.

“Do this, do that, and read between the lines!”

They finally cracked it?

It’s so good at it. To the point where I assume they must have fed the model the bulk of whole movies.

skype!

And hopefully the cost burden of federated video hosting evaporates.

Yup, they are targeting people deep into the PCVR ecosystem. Index owners are their ideal customers. And now, people who previously purchased an Index and a Beyond, too.

The police are here to protect the owner class.

I’m surprised it doesn’t have a TikTok logo watermark. Looks really strange.

And can’t they fit at least one Family Guy episode in the empty space down at the bottom?

Good content is expensive. And from what I understand, the financials are all fucked up across the industry.

Just look at Netflix, they just blew $320 million on a huge piece of garbage, The Electric State.

It’s amazing how they basically perfected something, and then just dropped it in the trash.

I know it’s easy to explain that they basically sold them to everyone who wanted one. But it really feels like a device that/situation that a company like Google could maintain as a good will thing. As a standard. As a protocol.

I remember there being claims from him or his team about lidar being a dead end that would not scale as well as computer vision.

What’s the typical fixable issue you are finding?

Oh, wow. I wouldn’t have guessed that.

What’s a glowie? 🤔

Wow, I was confused who it was at first.

I appreciate that someone could tell I didn’t mean to be super broad.

Jargon definitely falls under the umbrella I was pointing at. Communication among co-workers. Managers. Etc.

The whole style feels cold to me. And impersonal. And I hate it. Jargon can definitely play a role. But I’m also ok with certain types that actually do make communication flow smoother. But yeah, the vapid jargon that masks a lack of understanding, curiosity or humility is a bummer.

I said more in another comment, but I mean stuff like email. The thing companies like Apple are showing ads on TV for.

Sorry, I was focused in on professional communication. All those emails sent by bosses that feign interest or care. All necessary niceties that can grate on someone once they know many are just masks.

I wasn’t being precise, and I assumed others wouldn’t think about it in such broad terms. I agree that my statement would be silly if it applied to all writing that people get paid for.
