Arguably the long term survival and flourishing of the human species is due to humans being able to “see things that don’t exist”.

The meaning of "practical use" is all about context - who/when/where/why/what - and so it would be kind of hard to definitely claim, in an intellectually honest way, that a piece of math is an old puzzle with &

You can build software fast, but the more time you take the more you can be confident about it being correct. This was true already before AI code generation, but AI code generation means the definition of “fast” has shifted like crazy. An

In 5-10 years an Apple Watch will run a Fable level model locally. I don’t think we (hackers) should worry too much about token cost inflation. The current wave of providers, that’s another story.

Can you share studies that show they’re “identical”? You’re not going to overdose from using your phone too much, or die from withdrawal if you suddenly stop using your phone, so that seems like a stretch.

32x memory isn't that big of a jump if you go from storing a bunch of low res, low color count textures to a bunch of high res, high color count ones. I don't know if that's what's going on here but given the advertised

No, because the premise resides in the fact that human care and creativity is what makes the value. There is a mountain of human care and creativity to draw from; and nothing wrong with adding to the mountain. But why bother with the statis

I have a 8GB M1 that still worked great, until macOS 26 severely degraded its performance. Thankfully the macOS 27 beta somewhat improved things (although Xcode is more of a slog than it used to be). I’d like to not upgrade until they offer

I derive lots of value from Little Snitch on my Mac, so this approach is more effective than not having anything. And yes, having the ability to deny any app network access on iOS would be great.

Better yet, a tool like Little Snitch should be built into the OS. Give me a detailed log of every network requests, to which domains, with what data.

A bit fallacious because if you've been supporting the proper size classes API and not hardcoding assumptions about windows/orientation/etc. (as Apple has been telling you to do every WWDC for like 10 years now), there's

Yes, those tools are extremely good at reverse engineering. With a bit of know how, it is now trivial to reverse engineer any protocol or crack any software, often in a matter of hours or less. A lot of people in the industry have vested in

If your definition of machine is "purely physical object behaving according to rules"[0], then one could argue that everything in the universe is a machine, which is not a very useful definition. [0] where I assume you mean rules
