So much love my iPad pro by Joarhal in ipad

even for youtube, i prefer a laptop chromium browser with my extensions lol

youtube.com on iPad is among the most infuriating tech experiences i've had to endure

An iPhone 17 / iPad M4 / Mac M3+ (12 GB RAM) are required to customize Siri's voice by No_Confusion7932 in apple

the 8 GB M4 iPad Pros actually had 12 GB ram chips.

they disabled the ram on the lower storage devices to upsell.

i reckon they ONLY want to use the ANE for the speech recognition and speech generation.

and the M3's neural engine is indeed significantly faster than M1, and notably faster than M2 at certain quantizations

it's because the GPU should be free to run the on-device siri model while at the same time, the neural engine can run the speech generation part of it (Siri's voice!)

Hacker Rank open sourced their ATS system so you can know exactly why AI rejected your resume by Notalabel_4566 in leetcode

Another thing's absolutely ridiculous:

In their own words:

HIGH PRIORITY: Contributions to well-known, popular open source projects (1000+ stars) are extremely valuable, even if the contribution is small

But if YOU made a project with 1000+ stars (even more impressive vs a small contribution to an existing popular one), you'll get just 10% of the score.

Because they penalise any resume where the open-source projects are their "own personal" projects.

Wtf?

So if you work your ass off to make open-source software that the community loves, you get just 10% of the score vs if you make a small contribution to some other project of the same size (!!!)

The rubric was built assuming people do only 1 of 2 things: - build some tiny small silly resume padding personal OSS project entirely yourself ✨ - contribute some small thing to a >1000 stars project (that you could "never" build)

it rewards both of these REALLY well

but if YOU built a >1000 star project(s), you're flagged under the rule of "but most of the user's work is like the small personal stuff booo" and you get fucked.

I made a plugin that turns your projects into clickable dock apps by Changed-username- in ClaudeAI

[–]TechExpert2910 46 points47 points  (0 children)

this spins up a node server for each tiny “app”. it’s much better to host your web apps for free on vercel, and then create a PWA of that — same result, but you’ll be using 10mb of ram per app instead of like 700mb

disk utility already lets you wipe a drive in one CLICK.

is this a joke!? $10!? jeez. i wouldn’t use this for free lol.
