> How does OpenAI get it so wrong, when Anthropic gets it so right? I think it's because of two different operating theories. Anthropic is making tools to help people and to make money. OpenAI has a religious zealot driving it becau

If the Lightning OUTSOLD Tesla, is that really losing to them? Feels to me like an indictment of the scale that Tesla actually operates: an order of magnitude less than the big car makers. If Ford declares a truck that sold better than CT a

I am never willfully obtuse. It's an asshole move. In this case I GENUINELY do not see how it's cumbersome at all. I've done it. I used cell phones before they used the standard headphone jack, and tended to use the smaller t

The problem with the analogy is that users were asked to change their habits. Apple switching Siri models behind the scenes is much less problematic.

Or the tool makers could just make better tools. I'm in that camp, I say make the tool adapt to me. Computers are here to help humans, not the reverse.

I bought the first gen on preorder, literally returned it the day after I got it. They were cheap feeling, super lightweight and chincy, cheap and hard to press buttons, weird keyboard layout, and the whole thing was too top heavy to use.

As someone who lived through a small portion of the internal mess that was Vista, I DO NOT miss him at all. I worked there 6 months and his bizarre management directives were obvious. Behind every single developer push was a lock-in push, t

The problem with filmmaker mode is I don't trust it more than other modes. It would take no effort at all for a TV maker to start fiddling whit "filmmaker mode" to boost colors or something to "get an edge", then ev

The same chips go into desktops as servers, so this is just redirecting the chips to another assembly line. I think there's a good chance the memory market will see a huge boost in supply to server spaces, and some memory will switch b

The US has screwed up but to state we've been nothing but bad since 49 is a genuinely revisionist take.

I've been in this game so long, seen so many shortages that I'm not even worried. Right now prices are high, manufacturers are switching production, and in 6 months there's going to be a glut of supply. It's all a long g

To me it was also a huge disappointment. I had the N810 and it was amazing, I still have it. I wish I could get a new board for it. But the N900 was all cheap plastic, no metal like the 810, the magnets fell out all the time, the software w

"the bigger bottleneck to productivity is that very few people can correctly articulate requirements." I've found the same way. I just published an AI AUP for my company and most of it is teaching folks HOW to use AI.
