The alternate also happens though. Over here in The Netherlands, the milk for all milk products comes out of the same cows and is processed in the same tanks. When you're paying 2x the price for brand name milk, you're getting ser

This is one of the more insidious things of LLMs. I'm relatively witty with wordplays and can write pretty well. Before, people thought I was clever. Now, there response is often "ha nice prompt". Same with being knowledgeabl

No. The reason why people call it the "AI dash" (technically an em dash) is because it is very rarely used in day-to-day writing. You mostly see it in longform things like articles or books. It's a classic example of "pe

The biggest trick they ever pulled was changing Music.app into Apple Music, and on first app start showing you a "hey, want to try Apple Music? Tap here" fullscreen. That single-handedly unlocked a huge cohort of boomers and other

It wouldn't have taken less hardware resources, because would you look at that.. we find h264 hardware decode even in bottom-of-the-barrel mobile CPUs. Pure CPU and even GPU decoding of video codecs is enormously expensive powerbudget-

This is exactly my dream too, especially after seeing the Apple Watch prototype dumbphone cases they used to conceal them in public[0]. It would be a glorious re-purposing of the Apple Watch to serve the most diehard fans of the killed iPho

You forgot to design a new energy grid, in case a freak solar flare knocks out most of the world's grids. How can you deliver at scale if there is no scale? What about new tax policy to encourage people having more children? How can yo

Worst offender being Google, who toggled on VP8 / VP9 decoding on YouTube despite the vast majority of devices only having h264 hardware decode. The aggregate waste in battery wear and watts spent is pretty staggering when you think ab

But people don't get noticeable improvements from that. The jumps from 30-40-60-72-144 are all pretty noticeable, but 144-240 is already very minimal and 240-360+ is pretty much quackery.

Can I just say I adore the absolute utility of the UX and UI? No welcome screen, just dropped straight into the main interface which itself has no excess buttons or styling wasted on it. To me this is beautiful.

I will die on the hill that for the foreseeable future, LLMs inside an IDE are just fancy autocomplete. In a more general interface they're also nice for getting a birds-eye view on a topic you're unfamiliar with. However, just as

Yeah, you're right. I had to do some Google-fu, but the timeline is: MacBook 2008[0] into MacBook Air 2010[1]. The MacBook 2008 was the chunky unibody that would be inherited by the Pro line. This model had non-backlit keys on the chea

Personally I still am of the opinion current LLMs are more of a very advanced autocomplete. I have to think of the guy posting that he fed his entire project codebase to an AI, it refactored everything, modularizing it but still reducing th

What's most annoying about Gemini 2.5 is that it is obnoxiously verbose compared to Opus 4. Both in explaining the code it wrote and the amount of lines it writes and comments it adds, to the point where the output is often 2-3x more t

Declarative management of your OS is in terms of effort basically an inversion of imperative management. With declarative, you frontload an enormous amount of effort: - You have to learn your declarative framework - Then you have to slowly
