Feels like the perfect thing to vibe-code based on existing FF/Chrome extensions? Decent agent should make pretty light work of it.

Upgrading the battery on my iPhone 12 Pro has been a fucking revelation. I just don't run out of battery any more. I'm sure Apple was telling me it was only 20% degraded or something too, but I would strongly, strongly recommend t

This sounds like magical thinking. The right couple of AWS or DO keys get you an environment entirely capable of hosting GLM 5.3. I'm sure Fable and Sol run _best_ in their own special aquariums, but "optimized for a particular cl

We have seen models hack into core ML infrastructure. I’m unsure why the extra self-perpetuating shape seems this magical bridge too far, rather than simply a prompt away?

Genuinely I don't believe China is the impediment here, I believe the current US administration is.

I'm sure you've put time and effort into this, but the companies I work with have all vibe-coded their own ones at this point, so I wonder what the commercial value of shop tools like this is. I think you need to highlight what va

I doubt the reporting: I've found it to suck for productive work. Gone back to using Sol.

Company I work for sees significant real, profitable traffic from them. I’m sure we’re losing some proportion to fraud, and we have a very experienced guy full-time on ad management, but money in vs money out is working very nicely for us.

Ironically I burned out Fable usage early this week because of Astra using it to run inane full codebase reviews over one line changes, so I have been using Astra extensively. We need a word for “potentially highly capable, but in reality a

The same Anthropic who marks questions about Tylenol as bioterror risks? Interesting!

Robbery and ineptitude are different things, but the situations described by OP are often special blends of the two.

I'm an Apple fanboy, and I think OP is probably right? Having a distinctive colour that marks a phone as being the latest one is definitely a great marketing idea.

I'm on a 12. Paid really not very much to get the battery replaced recently, and I wished I'd done it sooner. There's at least another year left in this phone now if I want it.

So new business model meta is: acquire enough compute that you can burn millions of dollars on patentable scientific breakthroughs with unused capacity and on models nobody else has yet. That might actually kind of make sense.

And even if they are, agents are able to place calls with a fake voice to random phone numbers…

I think multi-agent (eg _different_ underlying LLMs) everything is really the future. Code produced via multi-agent workflows and reviews seems noticeably better. I've been experimenting with a multi-agent message board recently: http

I think this is a nice idea, but three koala dollars says that in a year we find out most Australians switched back to the dopamine feed after a day or two. Nice to have the choice, though.

Mmm, a world where a defender-LLM is essentially required is great news for people selling inference.
