Kimi K3 is the best explainer. I switch to that for code review and insights.

My hypothesis is that phones are inherently personal and personalisable: it’s our photo on the lock screen and our text messages in the app. Whereas most people don’t even consider attempting to personalise their couch or their car, so the

Try kimi k3, for code review at least. I think it’s significantly better than Sol and Anthropic for analysis, if you care about your code.

Fun fact: the Newton was the first mobile device to use an ARM CPU.

And by “licenses” you mean they were a founding company of the ARM consortium way back in the 1990s.

As a bit of random speculation: improved digestion might reduce the “needy stomach” sensation associated with hunger.

Not surprising, it’s what happens to capsaicin too. Something has to happen to the molecules/compounds you consume. Either your body discards them, stores them, or transforms them. The fascinating part is that your anal tissue has tha

Except that it's easier to invalidate an entire signing certificate than to hope your malware definition satisfies all mechanically generated permutations of the malware.

All of the major companies have been caught training on illegally acquired data. The law doesn't matter to any of them. It makes sense that Google would care about their own paying customers, but that's for commercial reasons, not

It's trendy. If you don't like it, you can go write some go in go. Contribute to a thread on Threads. Write a factory with Factory. Write your reflections in Reflect. Keep in the loop on Loop while you recall what you did with Rec

Every time I’m forced to do it[0] I feel good because I’m glad these hoops are unavoidable on all the computers of the people I provide family tech support for. [0] Which is rare. I’m installing random shit all the time using homebrew and i

On one hand, you’re breaking existing networks; on the other hand you are establishing a social club for new ones.

A sensible observation. In theory, the entire codebase for a simple HMAC knock knock ought to be tiny and easy to harden with multiple rounds of human and LLM review. The goal should be to have your complex layers sitting in front of simple

Far worse than 70%. Chernobyl was a catastrophically flawed reactor design. Operators ran a badly planned safety test in which operators intentionally caused a dangerous state while key protections were disabled or bypassed.

Fewer car accident deaths, leading to more elderly people, which inevitably means a higher population of people with Alzheimers. (Unless people highly predisposed to dying in car accidents are also highly predisposed to mudering people who

The answer is no. Hubble's visible-light resolution is about 0.05 arcseconds, which translates to 90 metres per pixel, far too large to make out anything that's "merely" bus sized. An imager would need to in orbit around

How is it notable? Apple’s complaint is that these are corporate secrets. If it wasn’t secret, there would be no case.

Sure, but if I'm going to prompt an AI anyway, I might as well ask it to write a convincing paragraph too.

OpenAI knows that the court of public opinion is more dangerous than a fine from a real court.

Correct, because other companies are not in a position to certify the security of iCloud meeting their own standards. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Apple trusts Apple more than other people trust Apple.

The parent comment is now YouTube famous, and apparently represents the entire Hacker News zeitgeist. Reading replies to this article, it seems... like a slight exaggeration? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nJ2tEPD4-k&t

> Because reliably confirming that your code work I can't reliably confirm that you read my post all the way to the end. I pointed out multiple ways where tests are proven. One is to verify the test by breaking the code under test.
