With apologies for being the pedantic person, you're not really asking the AI in your pocket. You're just using the web browser on your pocket computer to compose a message to the massive AI system running in some datacenter somew

When I order anything off Amazon, which is more and more rare these days, I wish there was a shipping option of “let the workers go pee” or “donate 30 minutes off task to a worker” or “don’t penalize the driver”. I don’t need the speed. The

Hyper capitalism is destroying everything. It’s just a question of whether we chose to change course.

They’ve (SiriusXM) made cancelling a lot easier as of late. They even give partial refunds and let you pause. I wouldn’t say it’s perfect, but I have been able to hop on and off over the last year without major heartburn.

The writing has been on the wall for some time. It's clear that they are focused on growing the company and maximizing revenue. Nothing wrong with that, but my family's needs aren't going to satisfy a hungry capitalistic co

Just one data point, but I recently talked to a guy that bounces between being a mortgage broker and a tech worker. When the housing business is booming he switches to mortgage work, then when that slows down he jumps back into technology.

I hadn’t touched Gimp in five years or more but last month I had to slice up some large images for easier printing and Gimp rescued the project. I found it easy to use, mostly intuitive, the install was easy, the UI was snappy, and all of t

At one of the Open Source Conferences (OSCON) I saw Damian Conway use a tool like this (I believe it was asciinema) to give one of the best command line based demos I've ever seen. He was typing away like mad and not one typo! It was

Very well summarized. This really captures the dilemma. Did I mention every single Ethernet cable had to be cut to length and if any server moved all the cables had to be remade ? Lol. They finally hired a wiring company to do all that work

Jobs was a believer in the live demo. So when he was demoing a new product, the app actually crashed mid demo. He was so seamless in his delivery, it was like the audience was hypnotized.

For many of it was a life long dream to work at Apple, and to work with Jobs, but it didn’t take long to see it was not healthy.

Hey, you don’t have to tell me, I quit immediately after the project, after bouts of both verbal and physical violence. I left likely tens of millions of future earnings behind as a result. But there’s simply no question that the guy was a

iTools, or as it's known today, iCloud. It was supposed to be a dial-up service, if you can wrap your head around that. But halfway through the project he realized that doesn't make sense and pivoted. A timely, brilliant move.

I was there in 1999 as OS X was being developed, and the beta was just about to be released. I was building another product that was released at MacWorld in 2000 (and still exists today)! I have a lot of funny stories. Steve didn't li

This is truly bananas and wonderful. As an "old" that had a Vic-20 and a commie 64, this just warms the heart.

Well, this is oddly personal for hackernews but what the heck. This is pretty interesting to me. I’ve been living outdoors for the last 12 months, and I’ve noticed some significant changes in libido. It’s been on my mind quite a bit (not on

It's not just about the money. The menus, information, and other details are just wrong or go out-of-date because this pizza restaurant changes things on a daily basis. Additionally their business is not setup for take-out at scale. T

I worked at Apple in the late 90s, they wouldn't even tell me what I'd be doing during the extensive interview process. There was so much secrecy. After all the paperwork was signed, I met with the team (on a Saturday) and found o

It's disheartening that there's so much due diligence required just to conduct the most basic transactions right now. I have a narrow list of vetted restaurants, where I understand the costs and to the business, the delivery model

Bringing back the escape key is such a admission of their original screw up. I'm glad they admitted it and reversed the design decision. But I'm still on a 2012 15" MacBook that's running strong. I normally would have up

Zombie startups can hurt people in more ways than just a lack of a big payday. I joined a zombie startup. I wasn't there for the quick money or the get rich quick scheme or anything like that. Yes, the potential of a payday was part of
