> Tim Cook was (supposedly) principled. I guess it's hard to pretend that you care about privacy or human rights while eating dinner next to bin Salman. I guess if you thought he had principles then yeah that could be disappointing.

It’s great for offloading administrative tasks, doing research on stuff I want to buy, maintaining social channels…the list goes on and on. Easily the best $600 I’ve spent in a while.

Well that’s what Americans voted for. So I don’t think anyone cares that every CEO (definitely not just Tim Cook) is schmoozing with Trump.

Kinda funny that the most secure phone setup in the US is an iPhone Air on Boost Mobile. Who could have predicted that!

Glad there's still at least one tech company that cares about personal security / opsec.

IMO it's just regression to the mean. The Rust Belt cities benefitted from being in the right place at the right time (post-WWII US during industrialization) for a few decades, but post-globalization they are just one of infinity undif

Which segment of the population (assuming you're talking about the US) is currently under-resourced by the federal government?

Why is TikTok always singled out in these social media addiction lawsuits? Instagram and YouTube are just as guilty, if not more so.

That's almost 100% likely to have already happened without anyone even noticing. I doubt many of these people are monitoring their Moltbot/Clawdbot logs to even notice a remote prompt or a prompt injection attack that siphons up a

Maybe, let's see if AI overall is a net positive or net negative to the US overall. If AI turns out to be a net negative (which seems likely) maybe we don't want this type of AI research being funded by taxpayers.

One way is to not give in to LLM hype and ignore LLM grifters.

Thankfully I don't use Mono or anything related to dotnet framework.

Gemini 3 Flash is at a very nice point along the price-performance curve. A good workhorse model, while supplementing it with Opus 4.5 / Gemini 3 Pro for more complex tasks.

Might be a good idea to get a cheap secondary Android phone to avoid having to pay the iPhone ecommerce/digital tax that companies like Uber will upcharge you for.

This sounds more like an issue with whatever web search/index tool GPT is using rather than the language model itself.

No, this "trend" has been happening for 15+ years unfortunately. The Internet peaked in the late 2000s.

I don't think we can just blame white people for this. A lot of the ICE agents are non-white and many non-whites voted for Trump. In fact, most of the pro-immigrant people I meet are white!

I feel like Claude Code is starting to fall over from being entirely written by LLMs. How do you even begin to fix precise bugs in a 1M+ LOC codebase all written by AI? It seems like LLMs are great for quickly adding large new features but

Tech was probably the most fun for me in the mid to late 2000s. Definitely a lot more fun than whatever the tech industry has become now in 2026.

Yes, and most young Americans are locked out of those small, high-trust suburbs due to high housing prices. So instead they get to experience the magic of low-trust America first-hand, hence the disconnect between the young and the boomers.

> The biggest surprise to me with all this low-quality contribution spam is how little shame people apparently have. My guess is it's mostly people from countries with a culture that reward shameless behavior.

She thought that part of the onboarding was transferring her entire life savings into a crypto platform? That's rough. At first I thought this was an ACH scam, but moving your money into crypto and then sending it to someone else basic
