Most -- frankly, almost all -- developers I talk to at big companies like the things they are working on. I totally am happy to not blame a developer who disavows the stuff they are doing and shrug at me saying "a job is a job: this is

So, the question I wonder: is that it for this tier? Will we even see a 512GB variant of the next model?

Reading a lot will not make you a good writer... and yet, I would have thought we would all be surprised if not reading at all didn't make you a bad writer (which is the angle taken by this article, as opposed to your strawman inversio

I don't see why this would be even slightly surprising: that is a common right-wing position and has been for a while? They even made a big run of it in 2023. https://pettersen.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?Do

I love how they come out with this article about the new 5.3 Instant, comparing it to the old 5.2 Instant, hot on the heels of actually removing "Instant" from the model chooser entirely and seemingly replacing it with "Auto

Maybe tech companies should try a bit harder to not centralize the world's information, unencrypted, on servers they control.

While it might be useful to state it again occasionally, I think people would generally find it strange to have a career writing books--wherein you might only publish ten books in your entire life--without having not just read but carefully

Just because any of us could have, doesn't mean I think anyone should have; the former frankly isn't a revelation: the latter is what we should be better broadcasting.

My pet peeve are services that go out of their way to include a text/plain alternative message part but send something useless, such as the message without the key link. One time I seriously ran into a service just send a short one-sen

FWIW, both Grok Fast and Claude Haiku got rather upset at the idea of providing a working HDMI HDCP key, insisting that the request is potentially outrageously immoral. But like, I asked Claude Haiku "can you look at the code for ffmpe

> you had PayPal, which had a flat fee of $0.35 + 1.7% or so PayPal also offered a "micropayments" rate (that I used in Cydia), wherein they charged $0.05+5% (which is much better for payments under $12).

Of all the things that seem useful to conflate, audio and video does make sense to me, as they so often need to be synchronized. Hell: many monitors also support audio, all televisions do, and the cables used to connect them carry both sign

How is Wayland more modular? It conflates the window manager, the compositor, and the display server, all into a single component that must be replaced as a single unit. This kind of new conflation is exactly what people dislike about sys

No: this is obviously incorrect, as even dead operating systems that will never experience a new version or have any driver support work well enough on newer Intel hardware. This is due to some combination of extremely long-lived standards

Which again, is obviously the wrong answer, as that same argument could try to be applied to Windows and would fall immediately: Windows 95 knows nothing of my new hardware, and yet, by and large, works fine. There is something unique about

I don't think that's it, as we usually don't even have to update the kernel: when I get a new PC, my old software still boots and runs. The answer has to also provide some analogous note that, unlike new x86 hardware having a

The point isn't that things are better on this axis on iOS, but that things are better on numerous other axes, to the point where many people are only using Android at all because it feels slightly more open and free than iOS... if Goo

But if people can't find it, then they can't download the code or contribute to the project. And if people can find it, then there is no need to physically wrest your device out of your home: they'll just get your domain name

Just to verify--as I truly do have a contempt for big tech oligopoly that extract rent from everyone to do anything at all, but am just unsure this specific problem is a ramification of such--are you sure you would not have had a large adve

I am shocked at how quickly everyone is trying to forget that TEE.fail happened, and so now this technology doesn't prove anything. I mean, it isn't useless , but DNS/TLS and physical security/trust become load bearing,

This isn't "we are only going to sell products to big companies" nor is it "we are only going to make products that are locked down appliances"... the "consumer" versions of these products are just cheaper

Yeah... I was super excited by this project when it was first announced--and would even use it from Wasm--but since it ONLY works in Wasm, that seemed way too niche.
