I thought the same, but I gave Helix a shot for fun a couple years ago and never looked back. It really does feel better/more ergonomic, but the greatest benefit is that almost everything you need is built in. I spent way too much time

Siri is the default and only voice assistant that has access to all the data on your phone. It doesn't matter if I have ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another SOTA model on my iPhone—I can't easily activate them in the car or another

OP isn't asking how to use Siri to do his contrived task. OP is saying that Siri in 2025 should be able to handle that relatively simple albeit contrived task.

Studying how humans make errors is a fascinating field. Simply banning someone who's made a "slip" error as hypothesized wouldn't actually reduce the likelihood of this error occurring in the future. These sorts of error

Can you clarify? I thought the idea was to run nuclear 24/7 to provide a steady, base rate of power while solar and wind provide complementary power that can be quickly ramped up or down.

I disagree. There are massive fixed costs to developing LLMs that are best amortized over a massive number of users. So there's an incentive to make the cost as cheap as possible and LLMs more accessible to recoup those fixed costs. Ye

Agreed—we're working with different definitions of "research". The deep research products from OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Perplexity seem to be more aligned with my definition of research if that helps you gain more utility f

That's actually not what deep research is for, although you can obviously use it however you like. Your query is just raw data collection—not research. Deep research is about exploring a topic primarily with academic and other high-qua

Lots of comments here disagreeing with the article and missing the point...sure, the seven-year rule can be taken to a ridiculous extreme, but I think many people suffer from dwelling too much on past mistakes and overcorrecting them. Seven

The point of this comment thread is that important Windows settings are scattered throughout many different interfaces beyond just the Settings app, and you can never be sure where to find what you're looking for, which results in a po

Using search as a UI means you can only find things that you know exist, but there are plenty of important settings that I've only discovered by actually navigating through the UI.

If the patient is having a hemorrhagic stroke, fibrinolytics could cause catastrophic bleeding. As soon as you’ve excluded hemorrhagic stroke (and other hard contraindications), you give fibrinolytics ASAP if you suspect an ischemic stroke.

I’m a neuroradiologist. The article is confused about the stroke workup—the most critical thing is to detect acute hemorrhage, which is much easier, faster, accurate, and cheaper with a CT than an MRI. We already have mobile CT units in dep

This is a guess based on personal experience and old HN comments, but I think HN boosts potentially promising links based on how quickly they're getting upvoted (i.e., momentum). If the link doesn't keep gaining momentum after the

I think this supports my point and the OP’s example. Video game makers have figured out how to segment their customers into two groups (former and latter in the OP’s example), and this only works because they’ve made their games extremely c

The other part to this is that the internet accelerates network-effects, which you can further supercharge by making your product as cheap as possible or free to the former group in your example. It’s hard to make money by charging a lot to

I’m a radiologist, and I’ve worked on these sorts of research studies before. You absolutely do need an IRB to do deep learning on clinical MRIs. I’ve had to write IRBs just to collect retrospective MRIs. Even for studies that are potential

Most people aren’t upgrading from the 15 to a 16, so they’re probably getting more than just a button. You could argue that the only update for the 15 over the 14 was also just a button.

No worries—and it's clear that it's your personal problem. I think it's always valuable to present a counterpoint in these comment threads so that less-informed readers know the issue isn't totally clear and that the tru

There’s no analysis and we have incomplete information. This is just a reactive take on releasing a faster model. We don’t know if a higher quality model exists, we don’t know the nature of OpenAI’s connection with Apple and iOS, and he’s d
