It's coming. It's not a hardware problem. It's a software problem. The OS has to switch seamlessly between the iPhone experience and a macOS experience where a full desktop/terminal/install anything is available. Me

This has been happening since Gamergate. (Or am I showing my age by bringing that up?). Gamer gate was a fully manufactured cultural outrage by some very bad actors over nothing. Unfortunately, that marked the first time an online platform

You don't really need this, if you have an EV with V2X technology. There's already charging products that work seamlessly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0WGl_U5azs and you have 100kWh of capacity, so you could

I'm really excited for this future. Both what you said and datadrivenangel. The fact that Apple shipped a more than capable laptop for most of the population using a last generation iPhone chip is just mind blowing. Silicon advancement

This is really cool. Someone here commented about similarity between this and hardware advancements for AV encode/decode. I think it's only a matter of time before miniaturization can have a thumbnail sized user-replaceable access

Interesting article, and it makes a lot of salient points. I think I can agree with most of it while also arguing that I don't think good code has ever had an honest measurement of quality. From an end user perspective, the end product

The governing body is only the western allies. USA + AUS + EU. Or anyone else that may sign a deeply disturbing and restrictive treaty. It's to make sure that the global majority does not make a better model or have access to the same

Great take, just came here to say this and you said it better than I could have. I don't trust Zuck, and I think there's a larger strategy that he has been advised on this and he's simply copy pasting a PR piece his people ma

huh? Popescu ruined his reputation within the community from this behavior. Everyone was misled by his initial claims, because he had been in contact with Apple over his misconduct for quite some time before he was kicked off the App Stor

It's funny, I saw that YT video in my feed and instantly was turned off from ever wanting to click on it. I know there is a write up about it, so I'd rather read than watch. Esp knowing what I know now.

Terry Godier is a liar and a thief. That's all there is to it.

Yes, your response is mostly accurate. But lets not hide under some "Popescu never lied". I'm not going to waste time really explaining the nuance of Popescu knowing that he had shared an account or payment instrument and the

I suspected this was the case from the very beginning. Some years ago, there was another developer who cried foul and the tech press picked up and ran the story that he was unfairly kicked off the App Store. His entire developer account kic

I think what happened is that a lot of the wrong personalities entered technology for all the wrong reasons. Some of us started in the 80s or 90s and got into it with personal projects and treating the PC as a hobby. It is satisfying to be

Just so that people are aware. From the article: German energy company RWE has said it will abandon its offshore wind projects in the US after reaching a $1.2bn (£892m) payout deal with President Donald Trump's Department of the Interi

Military–industrial complex and Israel. The Iraq war lasted nearly a decade. Afghanistan 2 decades. And the US accomplished nothing. They made things worse, I don't need to go into details because that is an easy lookup. That's u

Hang in there, it's about to get a bit judgmental and harsh: This blog misses quite a few red flags that are obvious to the reader from the very beginning. Jim is an aimless party boy and got a rich gal to sustain his mediocre life. Bl

It doesn't really matter. You can bet billions and if it was a mistake, you still come out on top. It's easy to do when you just layoff 10,000 people and claim that they weren't the right fit to get AI working correctly. Zero

Ok, so I'm just angry so take this comment in that light please: 1. What happens if the masses just do this? Today it's just a few folks who know how to do this. Tomorrow it could be 10, a year later 100. What's to stop 1000s

Can you or someone please explain several of the claims made in this tweet? "I am personally surprised the Chinese state continues to allow the open sourcing of models this good, given potential risks" what risks? I suspect the re

Wow. Was just going to comment about how Tan threw away his professional credibility. This stuff will be the first result that comes up in a search or LLM. He’s made terrible decisions since leaving Apple. I wonder if MIT/folks will no

It wouldn’t be effective at accomplishing anything. He wanted to go thermonuclear (his words) on Google and Samsung. Yet here they are, equal heavyweights to Apple. I love Apple, and I’m a fanboy, but they are not the good guys.

Came here to say something similar to this. If the industry were to unionize, there are good examples of good unions and good leadership. But I also don't want to pay membership dues so that some executive director of a union makes $90

No, I really meant that we don't even read the code anymore. In another comment I wrote: we just CMD+Q VS Code and it's not even in the recents/pin to dock, since what's the point? We can see the diffs in the PR and quic

I'm happy to provide specifics, within reason, of course. Ask away. I've since responded to comments with more detail, but if I missed something there, let me know!

This is the conflict we've entered. There is a good portion of the engineering population that considers coding fun. The other side considers shipping as a feature. I can both sympathize and empathize with this conflict.

Sorry for the confusion, we talk to customers both internal and external that drive these feature requests. We ultimately decided that paying for low code/no code platforms was pointless because that's what AI coding is. 90% of th

Sorry, I was trying to be glib by putting "vibe" in quotes, because I think that term is used for people who have zero experience in software engineering, but when used by senior engineers, it's something else. But, I don&#x2

No worries at all, I took your question in good faith :) I also responded below re: Vibe coding.
