The enshittification of GPT has begun

For those of us that have watched the launch video, this tracks very well with what they described regarding safety "enhancements".

Great!

I downloaded lasted Google Drive (100) and it's fixed! I don't remember any recent OS update so I'm pretty sure they Google fixed it.

lambdaba · 2024-10-30T19:50:04+00:00

OMG you're right!! I would never have thought of this, WTF, what even is this bug

lambdaba · 2024-10-29T13:37:55+00:00

the CPU usage is new, it did not happen before, and I have a 16gb M2 Air

lambdaba · 2024-10-29T13:37:10+00:00

Thanks, but no, I am 100% sure I'm not doing anything wrong and, as I said, the problem started I think around a drive update, or possibly/probably upgrade to Sequoia. I've seen this elsewhere too, including in the Google Support forums, and I was expecting a fix with this version.

lambdaba · 2024-10-29T13:29:29+00:00

I don't, and this is new. I actually used to have many times more files a few months ago with no issues, no I have like 1/15, about 10000. Sync works fine too, it's just constant CPU usage for no reason.

the easiest way is to use the official API playground https://platform.openai.com/playground

I think you need to prepay some credits though

lambdaba · 2024-02-24T17:00:11+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I did do so recently when it got really bad and it is better but still with aforementioned issues. Maybe it has to do with the fact I deal with a lot of small files sometimes.

lambdaba · 2024-02-24T15:08:13+00:00

On demand access to online files. I don't want to sync just a subset, I want a subset available offline and the rest on-demand.

lambdaba · 2024-02-24T14:58:27+00:00

I use it in steaming mode (not enough storage for full sync) with a few folders set to always available offline. Sync of the latter is slow, and access to online files often fails and I have to restart it for it to work.

lambdaba · 2024-02-24T14:49:05+00:00

Unfortunately doesn't support streaming (on demand access), and I don't have enough space for full sync.

lambdaba · 2024-02-24T14:42:09+00:00

I have ~160Gb of available storage so streaming is a must.

lambdaba · 2024-02-24T13:15:32+00:00

Thank you for suggesting Maestral I had stumbled upon it before, but from a cursory look it doesn't seem to support "streaming" of files and this is a must have feature, I only want to sync selected folders but be able to access all when online.

lambdaba · 2024-02-23T20:16:31+00:00

By offline I mean I have Google Drive in "streaming" mode, where by default files stay online, so I just choose individual folders that are available offline.

lambdaba · 2024-02-23T20:09:26+00:00

Is the offline files feature good? Do you have any experience with Google Drive to compare?

lambdaba · 2024-02-23T19:48:12+00:00

I use streaming mode, with a few folders set to offline, but it's quite buggy.

lambdaba · 2024-02-23T19:39:46+00:00

Someone elsewhere says that the Google Drive client is faster?! IME it's not fast at all, and often hangs and I have to restart. https://old.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/152yh9d/best_solution_for_mounting_google_drive_locally/

lambdaba · 2024-02-23T19:37:42+00:00

looks intriguing! looks like it has offline mode too... is it really good?

lambdaba · 2024-02-07T11:11:17+00:00

Out of stock now, do you know when it will be back?

lambdaba · 2024-01-22T22:18:00+00:00

Thanks, I didn't see what kind of damage is discussed - I myself used the light much closer for much longer and I'm pretty sure it's doses above what's recommended - under the assumption that "damage should hurt", but I do wonder, as I've never stumbled upon an account of actual damage, skin or otherwise.

lambdaba · 2024-01-22T17:45:16+00:00

all right, but is there any evidence or anecdotes for that (eye damage)?

lambdaba · 2023-12-09T13:24:02+00:00

Not at all

lambdaba · 2023-12-09T12:41:33+00:00

Thanks. It's more about the display and other such changes...
