Apple Maps has been better than Google Maps for at least 10 years and nowadays the way that Google Maps improves is often just by copying Apple Maps

I’ve agreed for a long time… Unfortunately though, Apple Maps just added Ads, so expect them to start having the same issues as Google Maps does (like showing big ads for every location whenever you’re moving around at the map).

After Apple Maps being one of my favorite reasons for having an iPhone for the last 7ish years, I’m back to OpenStreetMaps mostly, or still Google to look up business hours. Sad… but having downloaded maps will probably be a good thing long-term

Not necessarily. Humans brains use a tiny amount of power. Most of the human cost would be due to the very high cost of housing in many locations.

Yes I agree and this is what I meant. The cost of electricity, petroleum, transportation, the cost of goods brought in from around the world to feed and clothe the human and so on.

The real power required to support a human life in a developed country is a lot. Wattage for the human brain is definitely miniscule in comparison.

Usually the big tech companies leak the layoff numbers to the press themselves

rollingout.com is a clickbait site. Companies aren't leaking info to them.

Yahoo reported the same 30,000 number in February

I don’t think anyone is going to forget about this

Atlassian was famously bootstrapped and profitable since inception. They were one of the only profitable tech companies at a time when everyone else was busy making bigger and bigger losses.

If they have really been unprofitable for the last decade that is very sad.

> one company can handcraft the tool with optimisations much better than AI can ever dream of

You have never used an Atlassian product

It's because they need enormous amounts of money for their datacenters

And enormous amount of political support because of the negative perception of AI in society

So... XYZ stock hits an all time low and they decide to layoff half the staff and see if that raises the share price (it did).

This has nothing to do with AI. It is just a desperate move from a badly run company.

They really changed the stock ticker to XYZ during the web3 hype years, just because lot of the scammy crypto startups used the .xyz TLD? Sheesh...

That's like Atlassian changing its ticker to "VIBE" in desperation. Look kids, we're so in tune with you! Please come vibe on Jira!

He made some amazing documentaries. His documentary on Jackson Heights is really good.

He probably needed an editor to help split things up into miniseries though. His films are usually at least 3 hours long and sometimes 4 or 5 hours long.
