Good article. I think a lot of people in the software development field should ponder over "No. 0002. Preserving problems", because a lot of rhetoric is basically advancing this position. Software development traditionally is expe

Apple has an architecture license agreement that extends "past 2040" (their phrasing), and it requires Apple to pay ARM ~$0.30 per device sold. Apple can do whatever they want with the cores, but they do have to pay for the privil

Campaign? They're friends of the administration, and the US is firmly in the kleptocracy stage now (the last wrungs of democracy are about to be undone this Thursday evening). They'll give a bribe to Trump, they'll offer up 5

Yes, I understand where France is relative to Switzerland. But the basic fact remains that not one of the developers or testers or stakeholders encountered this, and it was so rare apparently the very first person to encounter it -- given t

Isn't this a chicken-egg thing? Businesses started advertising that they had an app because user's preferred apps, having had so many poor experiences with websites and web "apps" that the entire field was tainted. Thi

They're doing the strawman "we evolved with it" tactic commonly found among certain camps. The problem with their argument is not only that no other part of our lives is similar to our "traditional" lives, evolution

By "marketing" do you mean "experience"? Because absolutely no one is marketing apps as being superior, but instead this is just the experience of users. There's a weird conspiratorial thing that people do about thi

From a worldwide perspective, it is incredibly uncommon, and just from the basics of this issue it is clearly uncommon in Switzerland as well. The standard keyboard layout in Switzerland is QWERTZ (across all of its language speakers). Th

Read a bit further and the reason they had the issue was their uncommon keyboard layout, which is one that requires holding the shift key to access numeric digits. This broke the input filtering logic.

Right at the outset it opines that AI finding vulnerabilities ("allegedly") is useless because people have to verify those vulnerabilities, which is such a logically braindead bit of nonsense that I knew it was going to be worthle

This particular product used Whisper, so that was obviously the right model to compare it against. Further this is explicitly on device, and Nemotron 3.5, as one example, is 2.5GB for the model. And if someone were broadly comparing all on-

What constraint limits this to 5 - 6Ghz? Is it the antenna? Processing? It's a really neat device, but people should realize that it has a very narrow visibility.

While the article is terrible, what they describe about AI knowing common stacks and frameworks is advice that holds for finding software developers to join your team. Like, 1-for-1. It has always been good advice unless you have a strong j

They aren't banning it anymore, they just make it count as "extra usage". e.g. you're paying for every token in addition to your subscription. Further, the claim that the subscription "version" of the model i
