I would not be surprised if there are permission settings for what it's allowed to access. I guess we'll only know once the beta gets poked around in.

I avoided it after Anthropic's rampage against `claude -p` to stop Openclaw and didn't want to get hit in the crossfire. It was hard to follow their back and forth, but it seems that's done now?

Tangential but similar nonsensical secrecy for consumables: alcohol not requiring a nutrition label always irks me.

Honestly, if any big tech would implement it this way, it's likely Apple. Their image face recognition in Photos currently is fully on device from what I understand and it is set by who you associate it with locally.

Very worthwhile additions in most cases IMO, and well worth the "continued education" required.

Learned this about five years ago on HN and it's the only way I've tied my shoes since. It's so fast and perfect every time. It's worth the ten minutes in your living room learning to tie your shoes again like a child!

My Cryptography professor did this during COVID, since the classes were split in person. It was an interesting model. I'm not sure if I loved it or not, but it was at least a change of pace. Getting 100% of the class time to ask questi

YouTube also added a shorts timer that does a more in-app version of this that you can set to 0 minutes to have it always on. It's under "time management" in the app settings. Can't do it on the website from what I'

I like these hobby languages just because they help expose and experiment with interesting higher level language constructs. Because of that, I don't really care if they try to sell me on the language or not. As for your concept, I thi

I assume it's business people finding it to be a better "bang for their buck" implementation time-wise or lazy developers who don't use Firefox for their testing phase. I've seen it so many times. At a previous comp

I found that the newest opus and 5.5 are definitely close enough where most of the work I do could be done with either. I've seen small differences in planning which I feel like Claude does do better, but I think both products are clos

I completely agree with you, but I have found that the average person I've talked to about things like this refuses to look past the first thing they see, which is higher prices. If everything could go up and not just have people switc

I agree with you, but I think most people don't. People generally hate paying for software and the $60->$70 standard AAA game pricing got a lot of people (my well paid friends included) complaining. Even if it was very clearly said

While yeah it's a thing that many people already are familiar with, I don't think it hurts to push out these concepts once and a while to help spread info to recalibrate those who hadn't learned these yet. I'd rather we

I'm not near retirement, but I have found that the side projects I work on have diminished quite a bit since AI took over coding. It used to be that writing a library for something like parsing ICal files was something I could spend ti

I believe the Apple one is E2E encrypted so they physically can't give useful data. Thats the core issue with Oura here.

I've never seen it, but I have a buddy who had a coworker like this. Would basically treat his slack as a manual copy-paste bridge to an LLM and it's was incredibly unhelpful because most questions were heavily context dependent.

I love terse text communications most of the time (Slack and email at least). So much clearer. And easier to respond to. I think we've all worked with someone who (I imagine subconsciously) feels the need to make things longer without

I think their comparison to how their benchmarks compare to Opus are a great way to show "look at similar benchmarks for a fraction of the cost". If it has Opus benchmarks (I don't actually take benchmarks seriously, but for

But Apple's uses so few system resources and runs fully on device on newer iPhone models (16+ I believe). It's so efficient. I really enjoy using Handy with Parakeet as the model, but the system resource usage is a monster compare

They don't get, but they will be using Gemini derived models with iOS 27. For now it's all their own models.

I don't think so. They're comparing it to the highest tier available models from Anthropic and OpenAI. Generally speaking, Opus is better than Sonnet in almost every way, so why have the redundancy?

Cursor absolutely tries to maximize what they claim is "AI-edited" and it's nonsense a lot of the time. If it writes a function and then I got in and edit that function, it claims my edits _and_ any net-new lines I add above

I found GPT 5.5 is pretty solid, but I keep getting impressed by opus. It's tracked down some insane stuff while I look away during a meeting. 5.5 is way closer than previous OpenAI models to Anthropic IMO. These things are so tricky b

I work on an ETL platform and it definitely is a huge boost in certain things, but a drain in others. We started working on a new product a few months ago and it's really dangerous up front on an empty code base. It can quickly write m

Fantastic work from the Obsidian team! I'll gladly continue to be a Obsidian Sync user and can't wait to feel more comfortable using community plugins. Seriously excellent work from y'all.

I really like Obsidian. I use it every day and I don't use any community plugins because the permissions aren't up to snuff. I hope for a day where a plugin defines what it will need and that gets presented to me as a user. I have
