It's an example where it can't really help unless you already have some idea what you've got to do. LLM will spit out everything from CPanel instructions to port forwarding when in the end the best way for a non-tech person w

If you just want to do a one off track for a party or something with AI sure go for it, but don't expect others to call you an artist. Just like we don't call anyone who can use a microwave a chef. The chef may use a microwave, bu

Not only Aperture. The FCP7-FCPX transition was a disaster as well.

But is it really stunning? When we first got Aqua and Vista they were stunning because nobody had seen anything like that before. But Liquid Glass isn’t really new in that sense. It’s just some transparency with background blur which anyone

Linux desktops aren’t all immune to excessive minimalism and UI churn either. Just look at Gnome where they’ve decided it’s good in terms of usability to put all options in a hamburger menu and remove any sorts of sensible config options fr

Until we get LLMs with deterministic output for a given prompt, there's no guarantee that you and me typing the same prompt will yield a working solution of similar quality. I agree that it helps to add context, but then again assuming

That's no better than robots.txt, it's simple to bypass and with the current LLM tech there's lots of plausible deniability regarding the output.

There's more to manufacturing than just rebuilding factories. You need everything from supply chains (which are going to include some foreign materials in many cases), to people who want to work in a factory in 2026, to consumers who w

The problem with this thinking is that you can never be sure these problems won’t happen to you. I’m pretty sure it had worked just fine for the users in the article too, until it didn’t. IMO they should clearly encourage users to keep back

Back then you'd have physical bulletin boards where you could either freely pin your handwritten note/"ad" onto or you'd have someone do it for you. Still technically an ad though. It's the big players who have

The brew LLVM situation is crazy and even more noticeable when you're on older macOS for which they no longer ship precompiled stuff. I know they don't want stuff breaking because users have a GCC version that's 6 months behi

I'd bet my money that you can roll your own iCloud-esque Photo Library and it still won't be near the 100MB territory if you just use native libraries for the UI. Everything you'd have to do from scratch: cloud auth, encrypti

Holy... What kinda heavy lifting is Google Play Services doing with those 1330 megs?

Sure, but that's a few KBs for each locale at most. Still a long way to 100 MB. They probably just have lots of leftover localized assets that nobody dares to touch as they aren't sure if it's used anywhere.

I find it hard to believe that Dye would be so incompetent to not even know about CMYK vs RGB. How did he even get hired by Apple?

Design is not just pretty visuals but also solving problems. The design of Tahoe doesn't solve any problems the previous designs didn't but it solves many of the previous problems worse than the designs before.

Sadly many of us are so used to the C fall-through behavior that this would be quite a surprise. Personally, I'd rather see a different syntax switch (perhaps something like the Java pattern switch) or no switch at all than one that lo

A lot of the WiFi and BT issues were due to proprietary firmware blobs which weren't included in package management repos either due to licensing issues or decision not to pollute OSS repos with nonfree software. This has mostly been s

I remember a thin book describing changes to the API in Vista and 7 compared to XP and it was really thin. Just a few extra APIs to be able to show controls in the taskbar preview and things like that. Win32 is a stable API and I hope they

Young kids are usually also too young to get a phone or buy games themselves, so it's mostly the parents who let them play on their devices. By this I mean parents who hand their 3 year old a phone with YouTube at the dinner table. It&
