Did they use Claude Code to write the HTML/CSS for the row/image heights on this table? And how many tokens did it cost lol?

Yeah, the Database-as-a-service is great for this use case up until after the point of sign up. Then you’re straight back to needing experienced devs/PMs/designers/humans god forbid, that can understand business cases and anticipate at least some future requirements/changes.

So one could say he just…came, saw and screwed?

Yeah that’s such a good use case example change. No need to buy those starters anymore.

Yeah same. It’s really good at doing boiler plate single component stuff that you can then amend for your use case. It’s essentially replaced templating for me.

Who followed Google, who followed a million 90s AR glasses start ups. None of this category is original thinking.

I had to buy a rubber sleeve for mine as it kept slipping off the couch and crashing against the floor. It’s a poor piece of design in terms of usability (like the Magic Mouse charging port haha)

No I’m not. I’m also not sure Sonos would advocate someone saying you don’t need to use their app much. Surely the point to the rebuild was to increase usage?

I only Airplay to Sonos from via my phone from Spotify, Audible etc and that volume control works perfectly. How don you use it?

Interesting. I don’t use grouping. With music I use Airplay which lets you multi select speakers. Tv is connected to my Arc and then surrounds so it’s all auto.

Maybe I’m doing it wrong tbf.

Although again, wouldn’t grouping be done as more of an initial setup, not really an ongoing action?

Love that last line, although I prefer a more fundamental juxtaposition: The West explored space. The East explored time.

Why each did what they did (farming, power, etc) is second order imo.

I still haven’t figured out who has to use the Sonos app regularly?

After the initial setup, surely you stream everything directly to the speakers from your music, podcast, audiobook, etc apps? Or am I missing some fundamental common use case?

Ah fair. I’ve literally never touched C# so it’s a big blind spot for me!

Surely a job for Rust rather than Go 😅

Here’s a Sonos product idea: add Find My support to Sonos Roam. I waste so much time looking for it.

Got to give you credit for hope. A poor Spurs team have had United’s number all season. This had a Spurs win written all over it before kick off. Especially with the return of about 5 senior players for them

100% you are, innit

I believe that is exactly the kind of thing the new football regulator would be able to block. I imagine ridiculous things like Ashley doing that have inspired some of the regulators incoming powers. So actually we are clearly seeing a reaction to exploitive ownership

But why did he look so good at Brighton? Tactical safety net?

Having a crap owner is not the same issue as having a recklessly financial one so the issues of financial responsibility and Mike Ashley aren’t really related tbh.

The issue is wider than club division, it’s about what the local football clubs are. Are they for the fans and communities or business

I think everyone else in football said at the time that Ashley was not a great owner, loads of negative media coverage came his way. But to argue he financially damaged the club in a reckless way would be tough to prove. He was useless, but didn’t endanger the existence of the club.

This also presupposes that all spending is equal. Which I think Man Utd have proved over the last decade is not the case! I also think there are some club owners who are disingenuously using PSR as a way to have their cake and eat it- “we’d spend more if the big bad PL would let us, promise!”

I do see both sides of the argument. Restrict investment then you end up with just a small set of clubs capable of wining anything. But if you let it be a complete free market then you are open to things like Chelsea and City, which basically undermines the entire merit based premise of sport.

Oh I agree. PSR has been a fiasco really. But so has La Liga where inflationary spending on wages has crippled the whole of the league. Leeds had to asset strip their squad then their actual fixed assets to stay afloat for a bit longer as they were worried they’d disappear like Wimbledon did.

It was Leeds too tbf. And after both the league started putting rules in place (like PSR!) which seems to have helped. Both clubs needed to basically go insolvent, multiple relegations and still aren’t near their level before going bust. Crazy to suggest we go back to that nonsense time.

We tried this model, also called Football chairman lotto. The issue was that people were bankrupting clubs and walking away. Leaving fans to pick up the pieces - which is proof in itself that football clubs are more than just Ltd companies, they are community assets.

XG is really a metric to be used over a large sample size. Single match XG is really just noise.

Always remember on days like today: Time in the markets beats timing the markets. Play longer term and you’ll win.

I think this is a disingenuous take. The truth is that the west has globalised away its manufacturing base which means that the working classes have been left with little economic opportunity. That’s the real issue, and the left has stopped focusing on that, to it’s detriment.

The list of 6s who are better than Biss or Bentancur and we could afford/would come to us is seemingly zero people long.

In fairness it’s the hardest position to recruit for in modern football, hardly any elite options.

I think it’s becoming clear that LLMs are a nice magic trick, but the future of AI tools is actually in highly vertical specific use cases. The whole “AGI” thing is frankly a little silly at this stage, as the more data the current LLMs are fed, the more they seem to hallucinate.
