I do need to point out that not all meetings are equal, and the "hypocrisy" you are seeing may come from different groups of people.

I am against built-in VPN for the same reason I am against this. There is nothing novel or cutting edge about them. Any browser could have done it back in 2003, but they didn't do it for a reason. Of course, it's not like any of t

Makes me wonder -- does it make any economic sense for a theater to have screenings before 2pm on a Tuesday? I get that some people can afford the leisure, but I'm almost certain the theater loses money on that

by fg137 5mo ago
For theaters with reserved seats, if you don't buy early, you only end up with the worst seat. That said, for "general admission" theaters, if you want to get good seats, you'd have to show up early and waste time watchi

More critical thinking. Many of your articles just go along with whatever another company/person says without questioning it, to the point that I don't find those articles valuable at all. I don't think I am alone, based on c

Do they use it for generic computing stuff, like, reading and replying to emails, or specific tasks?

Based on my own experience with GameStop, that will convince me to stop using eBay completely.

Only for software engineers who are already familiar with terminals. Most non tech people I know and in my company absolutely hate TUI. Even a fraction of software developers who spend most their time outside terminals (especially those tha

Eh... no. Never underestimate people's ability to make software bloated and slow. You haven't spent enough time with Claude Code, Gemini CLI I guess.

Probably, at some point. People used to say "So Windows is bad, but does it matter?" And it seems that this does matter, so much that Microsoft (appears to) want to improve Windows' user experience.

I'd argue it's often the contrary -- since it's easy to ship features and fixes, people often ship things without questioning if it makes business sense to support a use case, or if the design is solid. Now you have exactly t

I have learned to take always Willison's words with a giant grain of salt, despite how popular those articles are here.

It doesn't make sense at all. So as a user how do you choose which model to use? There could be 3824 models to choose from. The browser might as well set one as default, and we all know how that goes (see: search engine). Not to mentio

If every browser vendor already has their experimental APIs that can work with different models, it might be a good idea to standardize this in WhatWG living standards (which would still be bad user experience on today's consumer har

They likely refer to "WebSearch", not "WebFetch" (and the original statement is not correct).

No. The real options are 1. No AI 2. AI that works and is actually useful 3. AI that is slow, crappy and hallucinates all the time I choose 1 and 2.

"very aware of limitations" Doesn't seem so to me.

More like "you need to sign up for our website and pay for a subscription", and I'd much rather do that if it's actually providing value. I am absolutely not going to run model locally which slowly churns out words at 5

I would very much like not to have to download 22 GB for some inference capability that is way worse than API calls both in terms of quality and speed. I would rather pay money than seeing this thing running in my browser that only prints 5

I mean, AWS doesn't really "guarantee" anything, they just say if they can't meet the bar they'll refund you in credits which is equivalent to money.

Which is a really, really bad idea. Most people don't spend nearly enough time going through a code review. They certainly don't think as hard as needed to question the implementation or come up with all the edge cases. It's

I wonder how many of those requests are "necessary" or end up being more correct/efficient than a single agent linearly go through the tasks.

A fraction of them do. Many just use whatever the employer provides to get their job done. HN users only represent a small sample of the overall software developers which is nowhere nearly enthusiastic about new things. Source: what I witne

They care about developers from companies that are on their team/enterprise plans or using bedrock. Individual users barely matter. That's probably also the same group that decides to switch to Codex/Kimi/[whatever the h

Do we actually know the employee downloaded it on their work machine? At least this article doesn't say that (and I couldn't find it in other sources as well). Plenty of companies allow you to VPN into corporate network, or log in
