Even getting Amazon tablet that’s specifically designed for children comes with useless apps you just cannot get rid off, because they need to shove all their services into your mouth hoping you will accidentally swallow at least some of th

Silicon Valley is working round the clock to make bad behaviour as cheap and easy as possible, while taking all the profits. PR floods are probably the most innocent of this. Imagine if you want to send someone abusive text, previously you’

For me the biggest issue with AI coding model is not that it writes code, or how it writes code, or whether it will replace me or not. I mean, these are real problems, but just not the ones that makes the difference to me daily. Instead wha

What’s the point of paying people a ton of money and giving them lots of power if they simply follow a script given to them by others?

I am constantly confused at work that people see AI as binary: it’s either a person writing the code and taking ownership of it, or it’s AI and the poor person has no control. It’s rather bespoke or entirely vibe coded. Why? When I use AI i

Maybe your agent could have a little blog where it keeps a diary of cool pages it read for you? And then you subscribe to that?

IMHO it’s just good old fomo. They fear that the landscape will shift overnight and they’ll be left with a ton of useless meat bags instead of a pay as you go models that you can upgrade instantly every quarter.

The only thing that interested in is: did they fix screen brightness getting super dim even when the slider is at max? That’s incredibly annoying and frustrating, and it’s been like that since first 26 release. And it’s a clear bug because

One can ask, what is a practical difference between “Check everything that it produces” and “Do all the work yourself”? It’s not typing that’s the bottleneck, at least not often, so this is essentially assuming that you can do all the neede

All companies are now AI companies. Just like a while ago all companies were suddenly Ads companies. The entire tech sector is one big FOMO - once you reach certain scale you do exactly the same thing as everyone else.

I have no idea how much I’ve spent, it’s invisible to me, the company doesn’t share it with me. I have no idea what “1 credit” means in terms of $$$, is that 1$? 0.1? 0.01? Is it even a fixed price? I have no idea how much will given take c

I have an ancient Withings scale and a Fitbit, it used to be that Withings sends data straight to Fitbit but these days seems gone, so now I have Withings app writing to Apple Health and then Google Health reads from it. Great time to be al

Call me old but there was a time when “open source project” meant “I had a problem, this is my solution, if someone has the same problem then you are free to use my solution”. These days is more: - building personal brand - showcasing your

What I’m curious about is how well LLMs do when they create something from scratch, because so far my experience was with letting it fix issues or add features to existing codebase where I already shaped the general architecture and put in

It’s not like this is a factory floor where you process something coming in and AI suddenly makes the process more efficient and people are idle. Every team in tech world has infinite backlog, you don’t fire 20% the minute someone manages t

They own Eufy which sells cameras with main feature being “no subscription needed”, that are very unreliable and full of ads (which isn’t being advertised as much as lack of subscription). They do also go big on labelling a lot of simple fe

There’s also entitlement from just using it: my org uses your software and there’s what we consider is a bug so you MUST fix it as asap as possible and in the future don’t release buggy software because it costs us time and money.
