Ugh well hopefully there will come a point when there’s not actually enough people to layoff anymore. Then maybe the game of follow the leader will stop. Or maybe another one starts up where they start over hiring again, who knows
At first I was confused about the books comment, since most books are just black text on white paper, but then I realized you were probably including comic books and manga in that too (and probably textbooks that include a lot of graphics)
I feel ya man, I don’t work at Amazon but at a fintech startup, and I’ve survived through so many rounds of layoffs, demotions, and “restructurings” that I’m kinda numb to it all and just waiting for my turn too haha
Don’t worry, once the hype fades, we can start calling LLMs “machine learning” again
Why would this even impact you if you’re using their index funds? Twitter isn’t even public so it can’t be in any index

A frog that is slowly boiled will jump out. However, if it’s dropped in boiling water, it’ll die because it doesn’t have time to jump out before the proteins in its body get destroyed. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

Relevant because I don’t think slow change is as irreversible as fast change, and might actually be more manageable

Maybe they should have spent some of the money they used on this questionable design update on improving their app or working with third party app developers.
Yeah I really considered getting an e-ink display, but most of the ones that can handle PDFs well are in the $400-500 range anyways. Since I didn’t have another tablet, I figured that getting the OnePlus Pad first and then buying another e-ink reader down the road would probably be the better option.
Yeah I did, but I didn’t have another tablet, so I figured if I was going to spend $400-500, I might as well get a tablet first, and then branch out to e-ink displays if I feel that I want a more paper like display down the road. Thanks for the suggestion though! I’ll have to check out Supernote if I’m in the market- seems like it has sync integration with Google Drive which is really nice
I want to add that I bought the OnePlus Pad, which has been great for my use case of mainly reading epubs and PDFs. The aspect ratio is 7:5, which is much better for reading than many of the aspect ratios of other tablets I looked at. Also the battery life is pretty good, but I also don’t use it for anything computationally intensive
