Unfortunately it's called war and it appears to be part of human nature.

Pretty easy to hit $100 an hour using Opus on API credits. The model providers are heavily subsidized, the datacenters appear to be too. If you look at the Coreweave stuff and the private datacenters it starts looking like the telecom bubbl

This entire thing is a convoluted mess that exists just to employ EU bureaucrats. The solution is pretty simple: Apple is no longer allowed to run an "App Store" or distribute a pre-installed web browser. This part can be split ap

There are other good use cases here like documenting recurring bugs or problems in software/projects. This is a good illustration of why e2e encryption is more important than its ever been. What were innocuous and boring conversations

Yeah, a better title for the article is how western automakers are going to go extinct. Sure the US might decide to block Chinese cars (apparently the EU isn't), but they can't force the rest of the world to buy $65,000 American b

Very helpful for ad targeting. As Apple kills tracking and ramps up its own ad business, Meta will need to collect as many signals as possible.

I understand what experienced developers don't want random AI contributions from no-knowledge "developers" contributing to a project. In any situation, if a human is review AI code line by line that would tie up humans for ye

Contest between Claude Code and Gemini CLI, who rewrites it faster/cheaper/better?

by AJ007 1y ago
Current best practice for Claude Code is to have heavy lifting done by Gemini Pro 2.5 or o3/o3pro. There are ways to do this pretty seamlessly now because of MCP support (see Repo Prompt as an example.) Sometimes you can also just use

You can, for now.

Apple has lost the Google deal and the ability to force apps to pay them 30% of sales. Both were ultra high margin. Apple is going to replace that lost revenue by filling the iPhone up with ads.

There's also another point that security is really fucking expensive. Apple on Google spend billions a year on security, yet their phones are broken in to once they are a couple of years old. Big American software companies have large

When you start looking at alternative messengers outside of Matrix, XMPP, and IRC, there isn't much where third parties can operate or implement both servers and clients. Certainly if no one can implement these two things it is functio

This should be the top comment.

I recall blogs from over 20 years ago, with blatant comment spam, where the blog author would respond to the comment spam individually as if it was real readers. Most didn't fall for that, but a few clearly didn't understand it. I

Certainly the ICC would be using something more secure than Microsoft hosted email?

Wow, I had no idea he had died. This undersells what a critical influence he had in the direction the early internet took by setting a bar on what you could just post online (as an American.) Wikileaks got a lot of publicity, but Cryptome p

It's actually not that different than talking with employees, however, the LLMs still have very significant shortfalls (which you know about after using them a lot.) If a manager doesn't know anything about what their employees ar

I find now I quickly bucket people in to "have not/have barely used the latest AI models" or "trolls" when they express a belief current LLMs aren't intelligent.

If you are in a developing country and making $500-$1000 a month doing entry level coding work then $200 is crazy. On the other hand, your employment at this point is entirely dependent on your employer having no idea what is going on, or b

"A well-designed self-service GUI" doesn't exist once the company is optimizing for the opposite of what your are trying to do (cancel subscription, return item, file insurance claim, etc.)

The network effect also works in reverse. The collapse of a network can happen very quickly. Facebook wasn't just functionally better than Myspace. Myspace experienced two really bad things at once, uncontrolled spam and adding display

It's also not a reliable source of funding as some European open source projects have learned.

This is funny, I've been running remote companies for mostly the last 20 years (with physical offices during some of the time.) When I first saw the coworking concept and the inside of a WeWork I thought none of these people are workin

There are companies who have actually done this, like the whole Avast Jumpshot debacle. They aren't the only ones.

Another problem is you have no transparency with what ingredients restaurants are really using. Even if you know today, with certainty, you can't be sure tomorrow. Usually small chains will start out very high on the quality scale for

One of the highest confidence outcomes I predict from LLM use in software dev is more use of open protocols. It is going to become difficult to maintain a network if you don't use them. XMPP isn't dead either. Here's an open

You need to make multiple games and think about what did and didn't work. Very few developers it was their first game. The early PC developers were pumping out multiple games a year. While it won't help with real time games, Build
