If you get an open source app from the App Store, is there any assurance it actually reflects the code in the repo? I’d think the signing step happening in isolation opens the door to tomfoolery.

For me, I don’t care one bit whether the text is AI generated or not. What stood out to me on this one is that they talked about something called shadcn, something called base UI, and something called radix as if they were things that ever

They are slow. They all feel the need to make a “unique” UX that doesn’t actually work very well. They require some sort of subscription. They have limited functionality because they want to gatekeep functionality on some proprietary app

I own a Ford and a BMW, both with CarPlay. The BMW is flawless. The Ford just refuses to connect about 10% of the time and requires the infotainment system to be rebooted. It also occasionally connects but leaves audio coming out of the p

They all think they can do better, and it is sheer arrogance, because even the best of them is utter garbage compared to software that is actually built with fast iteration, UX research, and real user testing. No car manufacturers do a goo

Its not exactly the same, of course, but its pretty analogous. It’s a minor, technically incorrect change that doesnt change meaning or understandability most of the time. Ive left out a bunch of apostrophes in this paragraph and Im prett

Specifically, not overestimating their own abilities and thus biting off more than they can chew. “Stepping on their own dicks” is a superset that includes all sorts of buffoonery like constantly making empty threats and backing off, but t

I think people who care about correctness and also read a lot automatically see the difference and it seems (and is) technically incorrect to use a hyphen where an em dash belongs. That’s really it. Kind of like you wouldn’t just leave out

Agreed. On an iPhone that’s the easiest way to type an em dash and consequently the easiest way to fuck up trying to write out a command line example.

Same. And my current daily driver laptop cost me $400 9 years ago. You can still do a lot for incredibly cheap.

Not having a lot of experience with this, I ask a naive question: is there a world where you can take your local LLM and hook it up to Claude and get more Claude-like results from your local model? Obviously, there are going to be material

I think it’s pretty telling that with the YouTube example, I legitimately couldn’t figure out what he could have a problem with until he slowed it down. The overall effect worked and gave the impression that it was aiming for. The fact th

Can you elaborate a little on what you asked Claude to do here? This is a pretty impressive one-shot.

I think there’s a palpable difference but many young developers have no concept of why.

I wrote a skill and included the instruction in Claude.md to always use this skill if it ever feels like grepping around in Unity files. It still took a lot of reminding it before it did it consistently. I’d interrupt it and say “it looks

I work in Unity and I got frustrated with Claude constantly doing gross bash/grep/awk/sed/grep nested loops that took forever that I finally described (and had Claude implement and install) a tool that could, in a single

Well one idea I had that changes the operational posture somewhat is to have the “reader” UX be a static page served completely from S3 and referencing other static S3 resources (the encrypted blob), then have the dead man’s switch “fail op

That’s great, and exactly what I was thinking. In fact, you have to wrestle with the fact that if it’s too cheap, people won’t trust it. One thing I had been thinking about was that it’s important to be extremely open about the algorithms a

I’d probably do more development in the meta quest virtual desktop environment if my primary occupation these days wasn’t writing software for the meta quest. It makes it difficult to iterate when you constantly need to flip to a mode wher

I’ve been noodling over this exact business idea for a couple years! Part of my value prop was to make ops scale down to as close to zero as possible by having the encrypted data and most of the front end for accessing it live in S3 object

What makes you say this is using Gaussian splats? It looks like simple motion-based cropping to me.

One of the things I notice CarPlay has access to is the fan speed. In one of my vehicles, when I say “hey siri” it turns the HVAC fan down so it can hear me better. I’ve always wondered if the interface is the phone telling the car “hey m

My next website is going to have the path portion of the URL be a base64 encoded ASN.1 blob.

Dismissing these as script kiddie attempts is no longer correct. This is a real industry now. It’s not like the large scale actors are going to pass up a valid unpatched vector just because it’s old hat.

Hasn’t the statement “I’m an fbi agent” been POSTed to a server several times in the course of this thread?
