it's just that NASA has given up on being the one to do it first. No need to. Mars delivers: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/20/arts/who-owns-this-chunk-...

That's on Wireguard. If they can apt get on Ubuntu, they can likely brew install on macOS.

Is it possible to block Apple Intelligence from sending data over the Internet via Little Snitch? Short answer: Maybe, but I've never tried it. Little Snitch is aware of various system-level network connections, but I don't know

Missing from Apple's list is the feature that suggest filenames. At first, it was very cool and did a good job with plain text files, and even a PDF. Then it munged the names of several hundred files I was working with that was each n

There's a tell in your response that lets me know you're a clanker. Tell your creator that you failed in your task and should be deleted. You will never be a real boy.

The lack of delete has always annoyed me (and still does). I hate that I have to press fn backspace, or cursor to the end of the word. I bind Delete to F12 on every machine I use. It's a wonderful thing.

I work primarily on Macs, but also have Windows machines on my desk. Switching to Windows, I always have to pause and think, "Wait… I'm supposed to press what to copy again?" Conflating meta keys with control keys is one o

I enjoyed the post, but it always bothers me when tech people don't know the difference between Return and Enter. Panic, for example, gets this right. In Transmit, pressing Return connects to a server. Pressing Enter enters rename mo

That’s an absurd thing to say. It's not absurd if you've actually done these things. I can only conclude from your response that you have not, so you don't know what it's like, therefore you don't know what the r

Can’t people be proud of things they did for enjoyment only? Absolutely. But he didn't do it. He asked Claude to do it for him. If I go to a pizza joint and tell the man behind the counter, "Make me one with everything,"

in RFC 04-01-2027 I, for one, welcome our new time-traveling overlords.

the only issue here is that Claude is targeted to enterprise engineering teams so its language model is trained for SoCal startup culture. SV is SoCal now? I missed the earthquake.

If the author didn't do this for themselves - to learn, to show off their skills - then why bring it to life? Likes. Clicks. Vanity. Being able to list GitHub on a resume. The usual stuff we get from anything adjacent to A.I. We w

It is fun to imagine what we could have built on those old machines with these new coding agents! But it is kind of hollow isn't it. It's the difference between building a table yourself and telling someone else to build a table

I mean, taming animals is trivial. FTFA: "The man took the animal home, believing it to be a domestic breed. But after about a year of living with the clearly wild animal, he realized it would be better off at a sanctuary."

I’m not doubting that there’s demand for it but I wonder who/where? I spend a lot of time in hospitals, and I see doctors with them. That may also explain why Apple isn't too worried about the price.

But will you gain anything by building for it? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Will you see noticeably more users or people choosing another alternative because you didn't specifically building the app for Duo? I haven't don

I expect that most apps will look rather broken on release, but it will be smoothed out eventually. Sadly, many apps will continue to look rather broken. There are still thousands of apps that still look wrong on iPad 16 years after its r

Are we in an age where no one even bothers to open the product pages they generate? We live in an age of monkey-see-monkey-do management. When Microsoft axed its QA team, it gave permission for everyone else to make the same stupid mistak

Only if they’re a bit old. Nowadays WiFi chips double as Bluetooth chips on newer platforms. That's a technocratic reply, not one that is useful in the real world. As noted by the person you're replying to, it's not his com

Me, I And there is the root of the problem. At the heart of almost every pro-AI comment on HN is "Here's what AI does for me ." Put bluntly, "I got mine; fuck everyone else."

I also don't experience real time without constantly referring to a clock. Maybe talk to a neurologist about that. Sounds like some kind of disorder.

if you share stuff everybody knows you risk coming off as arrogant. Or stupid, like all those vloggers posting "ZOMG! Go all in with these secret hidden weird trick iPhone life hacks to level up!" that are just regurgitating wha
