Why on god's green earth is it not just called Claude 3.6 Sonnet. Or Claude 4 Sonnet. I don't actually care what the answer is. There's no answer that will make it make sense to me.

I think its awesome that Apple has built these features, and I prefer to live in a world where they exist versus don't. The hearing aid feature, to me, is a little overblown. It feels to me like the biggest positive impact it will have

Because 40 is sustainable, and the standard we've mostly all agreed to (with some fuzzy room in there for heavy versus light weeks/etc). This sounds like a reductive answer, because it is: Capitalism is social, zero sum, and reduc

IMO: I have never worked in a job where I would have been like "heck yeah, four day work week lets do it". Part of that is, there's kinda two distinct and separate camps, and sometimes its unclear which camp people are in and

I feel my point still stands, and that video is reasonable evidence for it. Of course they think about what customers want and would buy when building products. But the difference between Apple and many other product organizations is, are t

Or, its the same as Apple Vision Pro, that device everyone has forgotten about. Their MO has always been: We don't build products for a customer profile, we build the products we want to build and expect customers to come to us. On the

Sure; but I feel that its a bit unfair to poo poo Google's strategy when, at least, they have a strategy; and there are AI features Google has released that I've actually seen normal people mention once or twice. Their AI call han

AI... advantage? What advantage? Apple Intelligence doesn't exist yet. Its likely to be 2026 before we see the most significant features released. Customers by-and-large do not care about any of these features, whether built by Apple o

You should really read the OP's theory as: clearly untrustworthy people lose out. Trustworthy people, and unclearly untrustworthy people, win. OAI's problem isn't that Sam is untrustworthy; he's just too obviously untr

Sure: Let's begin by not starting the conversation with "Don't use Cloudflare", as you did. That's obviously not only unhelpful, but it clearly points the finger at the wrong party.

by 015a 2y ago
I'm not backing down on this one: This is straight up an "old man yelling at the kids to get off his lawn" situation, and the fact that JGC from Cloudflare is in here saying "we'll take a look at this" is so fa

Suggesting that website operators should allowlist RSS clients through the Cloudflare bot detection system via their user-agent is a rather concerning recommendation.

The reality that HackerNews denizens need to accept, in this case and in a more general form, is: RSS feeds are not popular. They aren't just unpopular in the way that, say, Peacock is unpopular relative to Netflix; they're truly

For starters: The old notion that engineers aren't good with people so don't let them talk to stakeholders [1]; so you end up with PMs/POs/EMs holding a monopoly on information gathering from stakeholders, which is at-be

Second, 100%. That's exactly what I'm reading as well, its why POs/PMs get a bad rep, its representative of the worst POs/PMs I've worked with, and frankly it is virally toxic. If you view your product development a

One counter-take to this is the web itself: There's no curation or incentive structure to the web, yet it thrives in ways far outpacing the walled garden app stores.
