1Password has been able to do this for five+ years. Frankly, it doesn't even really need agentic AI, although a talented team could probably make it perform better with agentic AI. I don't really believe in Apple being that qualit

Lol. What exactly have you based this "fair valuation" off of? Vibes?

Distribution is a challenge, but there is also much prior art for how to solve it. From what I can tell you didn't do any of those things. Regular product update changelogs are what inspire trust that a product as critical as a browser

Around 20 years ago Facebook made the same choice, so you're in good company in terms of technically sophisticated shops.

This is a textbook case of competition pushing profits down to 0. That's an ideal case scenario. Why would you want to change this?

On the contrary, I find it a highly effective way to convey something that should be obvious but is often not. As you said, privacy is a universal right, but many don't consider it important until viscerally presented with examples of

This reply is quite literally AI as well, and so was your initial comment. It's so so obvious after spending enough time on Twitter and seeing the pattern used by all the AI reply bots. Absolutely insane that the HN crowd isn't ab

No idea why anybody still thinks of this company as making premium devices or catering to the premium market. Tim Cook's Apple makes cheap shit for the mass market, and has for years. It's not surprising when something like this c

It just reads through the merge conflict and intelligently resolves it. This is not a problem.

It's because they're misusing the term. Jevons' paradox doesn't apply to the simple idea that "cheaper code leads to more demand for code", that's just the concept of price curves. Instead, Jevons' pa

This bill is a strictly better version of the age gating initiatives that have been passed in other states and countries like the UK and Australia. If age gating is inevitable, and it seems as though it is, this is the least bad way to do i

I eventually had it come in another few minutes after I left the comment. And sounds good! I’ve had good success with Clerk for auth in the past. Now that I’ve gotten to play around with the app I have to say I’m impressed with how smooth i

It’s 2 extra button clicks to generate a password and save it on 1Password, and you never have to leave your current context. Versus for email OTP you have to switch to your email client, find the email, perhaps refresh a few times waiting

Seems like a cool concept! I downloaded and entered an email address but haven't received a verification code yet after 10 minutes. It's an Apple Private Relay email if that matters. Also, side note: magic link or email-based OTP

CRDTs have existed for decades and Google uses them along with an offline feature. This is not nearly as hard as you’re making it sound.

Not sure if that’s a serious question but it stands for “million”. As compared to 1B+ models, where the B stands for “billion” parameters.

This is a strawman if I've ever seen one. The person you're responding to said literally nothing about "daily use of a car". The point was that you need rideshare at some point in your life, which is a point you failed t
