I’ve been installing apps from the App Store for more than a decade and have never ever accidentally downloaded spam or malware. I’m sure it’s there but it’s really not “riddled” with it in my experience searching for apps. What it’s riddle

Another huge benefit is you can actually get high-bitrate streaming. Ripping a 4k Blu-ray & streaming it from home (for those who may not want to sail the seas) is sooooo much higher quality than typical streaming.

I don’t think it defeats the point at all. Uploading photos to Google is a massive privacy concern. Apple is maybe better in that way, but very limited cross-platform support, and when I’ve tried it, poor performance & pricing. Neither

For one, there is a limit to how much licenses absolve you from responsibility — like, you can’t say “eat my food, by doing so you accept responsibility” and turns out it’s poisoned. It’s still possible to go after the food producer. I know

Well yeah, the LLM header image is basically a joke on his part. I think the tldr is that Gary Marcus has been hating on LLMs since ChatGPT came out, mostly because of the hype around them. His core theory is that pushing LLM tech just with

Pollution is ultimately a violation of property rights, which is a pretty fucking fundamental concept in our legal system. If I own land, and someone dumps coal on it, that’s a violation of my rights. If someone dumps coal that seeps into w

Agreed, but people were often forced into those conditions. Or were forced to make an impossible survival decision. Were Magellan’s men volunteers? For example, in the incident with The Wager, 1,980 men left on 6 ships, and only 188 survive

You have a point, but it doesn’t matter: at the end of the day, 5GB is not nearly enough for most folk’s important backups (photos), and the fact it consumes your email storage and you can’t receive emails is the dark pattern. Maybe this de

It wasn’t wrong every single time. In fact, many of the more successful social programs in the US happened as a response to extreme poverty and economic disruption (the Great Depression). People need to get it into their fucking heads that

No, my job is already highly LLM assisted and I just have more work to do. Because now I can tackle things on the backlog we thought could never be prioritized.

To America as a whole? How? AI is certainly powerful, but despite tech CEO whitewashing, none of them are planning for how the economy will recover from a potential devastation of white collar jobs. Token bills fund rich investors & exe

Yeah, the technology connections video on this was fantastic. If one was to cover that land in solar, you’d produce far more than the current energy demands of the US. Relying on an energy source which requires constant, continuous resource

I’m a lucky duck, because Microsoft ONLY sends me emails in Spanish. Password reset? Spanish. Ad? Spanish. ToS update? Spanish. When I log in, it’s English, and I’ve never been able to find any setting anywhere in my account saying to use E

I think ID.me is a private company. So yeah, it’s especially fucking stupid that they use that in the first place. Any gov login should be required to go through a .gov tld. At least reverse proxy it or something!

We’re talking about the company who owns npm, one of the most hacked package registries in recent history. Can’t say I’m shocked, but this is so bad

You cannot say you’re the spiritual successor to WordPress, if your software doesn’t support running plugins out of the box on arbitrary installs. WordPress is very easy to host and scale, you only need a basic server and a CDN. A spiritual

I think I ran into this yesterday, with Claude Code taking FOREVER on a lot of tasks. But using Claude within Cursor seems way faster

Helper functions seem trivial and not like you’re reimplementing much.

The problem is Claude often kinda grinds to a halt. So I find myself getting context switching a LOT as I’m waiting for it to do something. I’m alright at context switching, but it’s really fucking tiring doing it so constantly.

I have about a dozen projects I’d love to tackle in this vein. (Not as low hanging fruit, but enough effort they’re languishing in the backlog.) we’ll actually be able to get to more those projects with agents and good specs

Good question. I think China is undoubtedly far better than the US at advanced, cheap mass-production. So wouldn’t be surprising they could do that for the military too. Not to say the US couldn’t get better.

The HN headline is at least misleading, because I suspect a majority of Claude usage is at the enterprise level (deep pockets), which goes to private GitHub repos.

They definitely exist. I have a little media server at home and was looking for iOS clients for it. Turns out there are dozens of apps, and new ones popping up every day because of AI. The authors are using AI all over the place. I think we

Interesting, my company’s GitHub SSO works fine. They use Okta. The main account stays logged in, but the SSO account expires every day or so. But Okta Fastpass means the flow is “click login, click use fastpass, use fingerprint for Touch I

There have been multiple outages in the past year where they didn’t even fully report it very quickly. I’m talking the types of outages that brings down normal enterprise usage: we hook delivery for CI/CD, git operations for everyone,
