Ambulances aren’t exactly designed to act as battering rams. They ram a car and the radiator goes bust and now you’ve got an ambulance with no engine. Or you just hurt the passengers inside the Waymo and now you’ve got two emergencies.

I do agree it’s a great tool, so much better than trying to hope and pray someone on the internet can help you with “I don’t understand this line of code.” However, it’s got a lot of downsides too.

This is going to be music to deaf ears. Companies will continue to demand it (I know people working at companies that are literally looking at AI usage as an individual performance metric, puke emoji ), and probably 95% of humans using pre

The gap is narrowing every day. I would come close to saying this isn’t true anymore. For example, the ASUS TUF A14 is only one hour shorter on the real world office productivity test than the M5 MacBook Pro: https://youtu.be&#x2

I’ll go further: there should be laws addressing account consolidation. Getting banned from an Apple or Google account is an incredibly wide blast radius. It would be like being banned from buying Unilever or Nestle food from your grocery s

Per your last paragraph, I also think we are in an awkward middle period where developers are embarrassed to admit how much code is vibes with very little review before they submit. The embarrassment is understanding. It feels wrong, becaus

Ads are imminent, TOS just changed to allow them, and free users will get trash models that are net positive profitable after ads. Better to just leave now.

I disagree with this idea on some level. I don’t think AI is very good at “plan” compared to someone who is actually experienced with a toolset. I think the more pertinent “falling behind” aspect for most people is the assumption that the m

Yep. And unlike competitors, OpenAI has no ecosystem. Just a website and a domain name. Even a VSCode fork like Cursor is an improvement over that state. Google pays over 15% of search revenue to be the default search engine on various brow

And unlike Uber and Airbnb, OpenAI has no way to maintain marketshare. It’s a domain name with no moat. Google has to pay Apple billions of dollars to make Google.com the default search engine. I just looked it up, over 15% of search revenu

I think you’re just describing how it’s circular. It’s like Toys R Us not having enough money to pay Mattel for Barbie dolls and telling Mattel they can have partial ownership of the company if they just supply them with some more toys. But

I got the point. I just disagree with the merit of the point. Microsoft decided that additional complexity for the notepad application is worth the tradeoffs. I tend to agree with them: Notepad is traditionally most heavily used to peruse r

I didn’t intend to flesh out these details thoroughly, but present the idea in spirit, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it needs tweaking as you mention.

Kagi has been an upgrade compared to DuckDuckGo for me. It’s hard to describe but the results are just better, and it loads incredibly fast. With DDG I always had this 20% wish to have Google back and frequently queries with !g bangs, not s

Could have been helpful for the article to include a tutorial: In the filters, there’s one for “completed” and “sold,” you want both checked.

Maybe this is too much of a side topic or tangent, but I think that mergers shouldn’t be legal by default once a company is a certain size, regardless of the level of competition. I understand that there is a lot of competition and that a m

I totally get the point of the article but the analogy isn’t a good one. It’s got the vibe that it’s written by someone who hasn’t been following the 3D printing/maker scene in a long time, which is more popular than ever. I realize th

I think this requires us to buy the premise in the first place, which might be questionable. Some guy’s website claims with big red scary graphics that this stuff is banned and these poor downtrodden business owners can’t operate. I can’t i

Oh yeah, I accidentally implied the switch lite cut down RAM when it didn’t. Of course the Thor Max will have a price increase, but also, obviously 16GB/1TB is a massively bigger bill of materials than the Switch 2’s 12GB/256GB co

Removing docking functionality could possibly reduce RAM usage by never enabling 4K screen output. This would be similar to the switch lite. Although, for a $450 device that doesn’t need to make much of a profit on its own, I also don’t thi

Sell your computer. Now you have perfect security! Fun fact: you can uninstall Notepad if you don’t like it.

Did Microsoft ban you from using something else? Fun fact: you can uninstall Notepad! The truth is, unless Notepad got some kind of makeover, it was a useless vestige. It obviously wasn’t a good text editor for plain monospaced text. Having

Not only is it competing with battery electric, it’s potentially competing with just plain old electric. There are truck pantographs being tested out. It seems like an idea that could have potential in major shopping routes. https:/&#

I am sure the 5th largest economy in the world is truly suffering under their draconian regulations. Everyone in California making the 5th highest median income in the country wishes they were working at a local oil refinery. To your last

Right…which means China is managing their economy better. It’s not like the commenter above us who claims it’s all about repression and restriction. Literally last night the US president stated that his policy is to keep real estate expensi

I would have a hard time living far away from a Micro Center. Your first impressions are pretty much correct in that, yes, it is great. They aren’t the best place to buy many categories of items, but for other categories, they are pretty am

Sure, but what would happen if WaterChef charged $20 less for "Made in China"? You can't compare different products across different brands, the whole point is to compare the exact same product made in two different locations

I haven't heard of the brand either, they just happened to actually run the experiment. I think you'd just have to pretend that both options are presented in a hardware store next to each other: identical product, company, warrant
