The "top managers" can go away yesterday, please.

For Aldi, which uses Instacart, I assumed it was because there is no 'fee' for pickup, but they have to pay someone to shop for you. I consider the difference a convenience fee.

That said, by not shopping in store, I end up getting only what is on my list and end up paying FAR LESS than I would if I was wandering around.

Yep. When I took an advanced calculus course, my instructors idea of teaching/lecturing was to read from the book in a (highly accented) monotone.

I thought that the source got eaten by a Grue.

That's already available on my 16Pro. Not sure whose chip they use, or its performance level, though.

Apparently nobody learned anything from the FalconStrike crash.

F*** you to all the celebs who blindly parrot his BS. And F*** you to RFK Jr

I found GP2.5 to be great at academic-style research and writing; it was absolutely awful at writing code. So; I would tell it to plan some thing for me and write it in a way that could be used by another agent (Claude Code) to build the code to do the thing. In this way, it has been great! I haven't yet attempted it with 3.

That said, I found GP3.0's page to be hilarious:

It demonstrates PhD-level reasoning with top scores on Humanityâ(TM)s Last Exam (37.5% without the usage of any tools) and GPQA Diamond (91.9%). It also sets a new standard for frontier models in mathematics, achieving a new state-of-the-art of 23.4% on MathArena Apex.

It then proceeds to show, lower down on the page, an example of what it can do, by showing off 'Our Family Recipes". If there's anything that touts PhD-level reasoning and writing, it's a recipe book.

Valid point. The other issue is that for those of us with really long names, there's never enough space for it to fit.

Was about to say something like this. Though I was going to phrase it as "Nuke CoPilot and all AI 'features', and just leave a virtual radioactive crater in my system".

Yeah, I noticed this when I went back to school at age 60. Everyone else in the class was using their laptops. I had brought mine, but it wasn't worth it. I needed to have the info go through my brain to my arm and hand to help me retain the info.

Because it's impossible to write your signature legibly, while using your finger instead of a pen or stylus, on a phone sized device.

I agree with this post. A $200 million failure clearly refutes the first portion of the sentence: "Concord wasn't a bad game, but it just didn't generate enough interest with enough players". Heck, where I work, a $200 million failure would have someone sent to jail.

You mean getting the government to own the means of production isn't Communist?

Why would it need the Camera, Storage, Bluetooth, and Google permissions?
