This reminds me of when Microsoft announced Bing Chat (which became Copilot) as a thin wrapper around ChatGPT. It turned out their value added wasn't integration, but tanking the quality and usefulness of it.
A silver lining to this is new parents are very aware of the dangers of screen time. In my little community, I haven't seen parents of kids under the age of 3 give their kid any type of screen especially when they're…
The trouble with hiring juniors now is it's much more difficult to get them up to speed so they can be productive. Before covid, you'd sit next to them, get asked questions every so often, do some pair programming, and…
GIMP should take a lesson from Blender. Blender used to be the most clunky, unintuitive pieces of open source software. But after a decade and a half of UI development, it's one of the smoothest interfaces you'll ever…
It's a bit odd that they're not comparing it against Sonnet
CS Academia tends to lag behind industry practices. The research frontier can be very cutting edge, but course curriculum, assignments, and institutional norms are slower and more conservative. That’s usually manageable…

My brain stores all my passwords in memory in clear text too
Could've just called it MacPad++ or something
Broccoli has been around since the 6th century BC
This is just geopolitics. You should've seen what the US and Europe did during the Cold War.
Sure, you could argue it's like writing code that gets optimized by the compiler for whatever CPU architecture you're using. But the main difference between layers of abstraction and agentic development is the…
Excel is so embedded into our world that we renamed part of the human genome to prevent excel from incorrectly reading them as dates https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/6/21355674/human-genes-renam...
The endgame is clear. Mass surveillance combined with AI agents. Would almost be like having a personal government spy watching each individual person.
Just give it 2 years and this will exist for real.

Zip codes do not have a one to one relationship to cities in the US. It's a common misconception. It's true about 90% of the time, but there are a lot of outliers. I used to work with GIS data and there are a ton of…
Rookie move. Why is Claude Code able to run terraform?
I'll do you one better, imagine a CPU that runs entirely in an LLM. You’re absolutely right! I made an arithmetic mistake there — 3 * 3 is 9, not 8. Let’s correct that: Before: EAX = 3 After imul eax, eax: EAX = 9…
Even if apple is losing money on these devices, they shouldn't care. Low cost laptops are the main reason why people buy Windows laptops instead of Macs. They need to get people into the Mac ecosystem.
To be honest, if both Android and iOS were walled gardens, I'd choose iOS every time. I choose Android specifically because of its openness. But if that weren't the case, I'd prefer the smoother UX and stronger Apple…
A very, very good point
What made the most difference for me was strength training a few times per week. I do circuit training classes where you spend 6 minutes per station. I didn't change my diet that much, and I really didn't lose much…
Besides payment kiosks having tipping on by default, I wonder how much of this is an indicator of inflation over the past 5 years. Businesses have dramatically broadened tipping on payment kiosks to avoid having to…
This is obviously a death march project. Just delay it indefinitely until the Google Gemini based Siri chatbot is ready. Why ship something half-assed?
