Those two things are mutually exclusive here. You can't have that ecosystem and all the things people buy it for and have unrestricted control of it all. Those can't exist together. And iPhone buyers aren't an oppressed peo

If and when I want a device I can tinker endlessly with, that’s very available to me already. I have some of them. What I don’t have is a desire to actively deny consumers a “just works” option that is extremely safe and reliable. No caveat

> (which are their own little eco-disaster). I'm worried that I don't want to know the answer to this, but why? I use one of the common types on my dogs and that stuff is crazy effective on ticks.

Their approach yielded arguably the least exploitable general purpose computing devices that people ever actually wanted, without making people feel they were crippled, in a market where there are thousands of alternatives. It's been w

I absolutely love that the CSS one is so f’d up that you can’t see their name. It’s so perfect that I wonder if it’s intentional.

Seems to me like we’re already doing that with the approval gating, adversarial reviews, et al. People are otherwise just going yolo mode because they can’t possibly check everything fast enough.

That’s an interesting way to look at it, and still generous to the llm. By which I mean it puts the llm in the role of actor and such… people practicing an art. It seems harder to make a case that the llm is actually making creative decisio

I’m certain it’s often just the California “literally everything is known to cause cancer” problem. It’s simplest just to put the bullshit everywhere and the dipshit bureaucrats will leave everyone alone.

I’m vaguely remembering tilde username for our public html folders. Was that old Apache behavior? And now I wonder if Apache is even still common. I spent so much time fiddling with apache configs.

I mean, that's what's funny about it. Musk's "recent foray into politics" is like saying "Germany has engaged in some territorial disputes."

That brings up a question. What do you call it when a capable person keeps a tight leash on the process, making deliberate design decisions as you go, based on a well considered plan? Vibecoding seems very wrong. That implies someone yolo

Is that still a thing? I assumed they would have done something about it by now.

It’s better than most video games. Including some of the best selling.

I’m confused about the naming suggestion. Seems like the AxB bit differentiates pretty clearly, no?

Yeah… I’m an old. I still make and receive phone calls pretty regularly.

Cereal Killers name was Emmanuel Goldstein, too. That movie still gives me wardialing and 2600 meetups and “voice bridging from a Dennys payphone bank at silly hours” memories.

That movie is ridiculous and still great. At least as a nostalgia pump. And the red box references and pots patching and such were true enough, even if everything else got hilarious hollywood treatment.

My little home assistant. It has to query the tool service, invoke tools, synthesize results, or request new tools. Nothing really complex. New tool requests from it are plain english and go into a separate pipeline using more appropriate m

Not verify. Voluntarily attest an age bracket.

I suppose they only have to confirm that the OS supports age bucket reporting... not that you're using it .

You’re right, I did say that wrong, I suppose.

Yeah, money, and just signing up to regularly inject a thing forever. Anything that’s “starting tomorrow and until the day you die” just seems like a thing I shouldn’t take lightly. Also I’m not badly, badly overweight. So it’s not like “it

If it sounded like I don’t think other people should take them, that was a mistake on my part. I’m just really not what you’d think of as a model candidate for them, so I’m not quite ready to commit to my first and only, not exactly free, r
