Blame the idiots who abused it. Like that guy who posted a video a couple weeks ago where he had like 6 instances going nonstop and he was controlling it with his voice. There was some other project posted recently that was queuing up reque

That actually isn’t too bad, assuming it’s true. I would certainly pay 5% and probably 20% more for a product made here by American workers getting fair wages versus an overseas factory. I’ll believe it when I see it because I have a hard t

I think market share is important to the extent that the OS receives enough developer support to be easy to use. What I mean by easy to use is you can generally find good software and you don't find it difficult being a user of a niche

You can tell Claude to verify its work. I’m using it for data analysis tasks and I always have it check the raw data for accuracy. It was a whole different ballgame when I started doing that. Clear instructions go a long way, asking it to r

I just took a look at that site after reading your comment. It almost appears as if Mozilla just isn't interested in making a browser anymore. "In the early 2000s, the Mozilla community built Firefox. We toppled the browser monop

That’s what the Anthropic models do for me. I suppose I could be biased because I’ve never had a need for a model that spews racist, bigoted or sexist responses. The stuff @grok recently posted about Linda Yaccarino is a good example of why

I don't know why anyone would bother with Grok when there are other good models from companies that don't have the same baggage as xAI. So what if they release a model that beats older models in a benchmark? It will only be the to

I liked Liquid Glass when I first saw it. I don't especially like the whole flat look everyone has had going the past few years so I was really looking forward to a refresh. I downloaded the beta and the more I use it the less I like i

Personally, I think it's much better than Github Copilot. The autocomplete is phenomenal and ctrl+k to quickly generate code is convenient. Agentic coding is good until you try something like Cline or Claude Code and realize how limite

I think you described it much more succinctly than most people do. It's been my exact experience as well. The LLM can develop much faster than I can build a mental model. It's very easy to get to a point where you don't know

I went down that rabbit hole with Cursor and it's pretty good. Then I tried tools like Cline with Sonnet 4 and Claude Code. The Anthropic models have huge context and it shows. I'm no expert, but it feels like you reach a point wh

It depends on your idea of decent speeds and what you would use it for. I just tried it on a laptop with an AMD HX 370 running on battery in power save mode and it's not especially impressive, although it runs much better in balanced o

That is pure fantasy. You don’t launch an unprovoked attack and simply go home without any consequences. What we and Israel have done to Iran in recent weeks is akin to 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. Furthermore, if we were legitimately without

It wasn’t a good deal. It was also probably the best deal that could have been achieved at any point in the past 20 years. More importantly, it would have kept things on an even keel and kept us talking to each other for as long as we both

Admittedly, I was one of the people who wasn’t impressed with the deal Obama made in 2016. I didn’t like that it allowed Iran to keep enriching uranium or that we paid them. In recent years, that deal has been looking better every day. We a

This sounds crazy to me. Why should websites ever have access to the local network? That presents an entirely new threat model for which we don’t have a solution. Is there even a use case for this for which there isn’t already a better solu

Vivaldi seems to be doing ok and they only focus on a free browser. Brave seems to be doing well too, even if some of what they're doing is controversial. I admire them for at least taking a shot. I don't necessarily fault Mozilla

WSL is great if you're on Windows, but I wouldn't say it's more powerful than Linux. Distrobox on Linux covers your "multiple OS" use case quite well.

It's only a matter of time before that same person gets called out by the new pope and responds by calling him a loser. If we're lucky, that will be the catalyst that finally erodes any remaining support he has.

Other countries wouldn't get a permanent 125% advantage over the U.S. They have zero involvement with the tariff because it's the importer who pays it to the U.S. Treasury when the cargo arrives in the U.S. In the case where it&#x

And if you're big enough and you do that, you get bullied into submission by the White House. It's really hard to look at this administration's economic policies and not wonder whether there is deliberate sabotage going on. T

It’s pure stupidity and most people don’t even realize it. Last night I met a couple at a country club where I was a guest - one of those $100k/yr places - and they asked me if my trade partners are charging me more with the tariffs. I

It’s total bullshit. Part of my business involves direct import and that’s now impacted by tariffs. The cherry on top is that what I import is not and cannot be produced in the U.S. I source a number of other products from suppliers in the
