I wonder if they’re truly subsidised or if the API pricing is just massively inflated. Genuine doubt. My CC stats show me using almost 300$ of Sonnet tokens on the 20$ plan. Is Anthropic willing to forgo 93% of the profit? A bit less than t

In a way, Httpster would be a counter-example; but then some would claim that over-design landing pages are annoying in other ways. You can either please the Greeks or the Trojans, I guess.

Touché. I was about to say that Things looks great, but it’s unchanged since I’ve bought it. I’m very fond of Things, it’s full of clever little things and doesn’t try to get in your way.

We can be non-absolute about this, providers like Brave and Carbon have shown that it can be done with reason. Of course it’s still something of an intrusion… but we haven’t modelled tech in better ways. Either we help build new ways to do

Not an expert, but Claude doesn’t seem to be running with my ZSH profile? Really, anything that isn’t a terminal and tries to use global commands, such as utilities that expect Node to be available and so on. I always have to prefix command

I remember Instapaper, that made text look good. Apple’s Read Mode settings are a bit lacking.

It’s easy to make a wow-factor release after years of putting out bad design.

Perhaps they can add a ‘macOS Classic’ option, in the style of Windows letting you show 98-themed UI, and the many attempts at bringing back an XP-ish look to modern versions. I’d pay… 30€ for my Mac to again look like the cat-named version

Many good settings are ‘hidden’ in Accessibility, notably to increase contrast, differentiate without colour, etc. The wonderful ability to control music playback on your Mac? It’s in Accessibility on iOS. Thinks like Reachability, Shake to

Good point. I imagine that other labs also restrict access to frontier models, but less publicly so. Do we know that, say, Gemini lets you develop a competitor product without any safeguards? In general this appears to be par-for-the-course

Mise’s refusal to make global packages globally available is off-putting. I keep using it for specific Node versions and the integration with fnox. The big drawback: having Claude complain every couple of hours that the new worktree is untr

Ask mode being the default is stellar. Thanks Mike! Apple could’ve made something like this, or at least pay you handsomely for making Macs better to use.

You’re free to allow scripts as per the linked docs for NPM 12. But the vast majority of us will appreciate the reduced attack surface.

I chuckled, but this is more about the history of NPM. In retrospect, allowing an ES consortium seat (Microsoft) to own the largest package repo for the language… might have been a bad idea? Google is one of the worst members of the languag

I wrote the spec and did the implementation :D

It’s not pretty, but if Anthropic is the E Corp of this timeline, we’re not being creative enough. There’s better targets out there for this comparison.

I guess people would just game the system and find ways around these guardrails.

We’re also on Alpine for our home server, and it’s been great. The major issue is that I refuse to use systemd, and therefore miss out on a lot of ‘assumed simplicity’ from projects that depend on it. I’m always having to find a work-around

I’ve had it go through a 50-page PDF of dense, inter-connected specs, and it correctly flagged everything that was done, somewhat done, and missing. It went into a lot of detail and explained where the code deviated from the spec. It felt,

The ultimate measure of an LLM is whether it can produce a capable image of a pelican riding a bicycle. All other use cases are but a distraction!

We can swap anecdata back and forth, but that doesn’t reflect my experience at all, now in my 4th European ‘expat’ (migrant, really) experience. Aside from a few somewhat racist remarks outside Berlin, I’ve always been treated fairly. Speak

It’s a PR website meant for… people that read PR websites. The agencies downstream that will spend 4 million euros comparing LibreOffice with OpenOffice are the ones doing some of the work. I think it’s okay for the institutions to signal

My big gripe with LLMs is the “high verbosity but low signal” style of their writing. Even the new 4.8 Opus writes like that, it’ll spit out a paragraph of verbiage for what could’ve been one sentence. I’m guessing… because we pay by output

Ah, well… that doesn’t sound great, no. There’s plenty of 1/4-the-cost Invisalign competitors, maybe your dentist doesn't get a cut out of them.

3D printing nonsense can be its own hobby! Let’s be happy that more people are getting back into hobbies over doom-scrolling all evening. Aside: I had to get into puzzling to manage stress, my doctor actually ‘prescribed’ it, and hours go b

Understandably, but PMs/POs usually want you to update the board, leave comments, tag things, and so on. Doing that speedily and with keyboard shortcuts in Linear is almost enjoyable.

We were strictly no-screen parents until we were both super sick and the toddler was his usual energetic self. “Just let him watch some videos…” </3
