With however many hundreds of thousands (or millions?) of apps in the store, the reason for why is quite obvious. Apple doesn’t need to have AI models that try to figure out what permissions an app would need. Nor do they need to hire peopl

I’d do that in a heartbeat. I have a family to take care of. My customers can follow me to my next project.

You’d simply make such things highly illegal. No matter how I spin it in my head, there’s nothing particularly scary about this, like there isn’t about identity theft or any other crime, in reality. Even if blasphemy is illegal in your coun

Not everything that’s been permanently lost is bad, that’s just the nature of our reality. This too shall pass. New things arise from the ashes.

The article reads a bit like those blog posts from junior developers in third world countries who are trying their hardest to prove that they’re capable developers who know what they’re doing, in order to make it out of their current situat

GP is making a joke about speaking to oneself really just being the human version of Chain of Thought, which in my understanding is an architecural decision in LLMs to have it write out intermediate steps in problem solving and evaluate the

What a pompous and annoying message you’ve written. Apple is one of the most successful businesses in the history of the world for good enough reason — providing value to customers.

Where do the raw materials for that production ramp come from? Are they abundant?

I don’t think most people deny that solar is a good idea. Although isn’t it a statistic that all batteries we’ve ever manufactured would power the world for what, 15 minutes?

Having read Sapolsky’s stuff (firm recommendation for ‘Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers’), I’m under the impression that trying to eliminate chronic stress is of paramount importance for one’s health. Nowadays I’m an entrepreneur which isn’t str

You can call it whatever you want, it’s obvious you’re never going to be part of it.

You’re looking at this from a point of view with inherent bias, that has no guarantee of being lesser in degree than the ones that produced the literature.

I think people are wrong just about as often here as anywhere else on the internet, but with more confidence. Averaging HN comments would just produce outputs similar to rudimentary LLMs with a bit snobbier of a tone, I imagine.

As an entrepreneur, I do this often. In order to sleep better at night, I explain to myself that it’s somewhat harmless to give teasers about future content releases. If someone buys my product based on future promises or speculation, they’

Really it just does what you tell it to. Have you tried telling it “ask me clarifying questions about all the APIs you need to solve this problem”? Huge contrast to human interns who aren’t experienced or smart enough to ask the right quest

I’m afraid these tools are really good at getting beginners 90% of the way there, but no further.

I think everything you said was wrong. Cursor is amazing now with the large context windows it’s capable of handling with Claude, especiallly at the hands of an expert programmer. A junior writing simple code is the exact recipe for disaste

Unauthorised by the warranty agreement. Applies to near every consumer electronics product, for frankly quite obvious reasons.

Could it be that you have some internal bias at play here? You don’t seem capable of accepting something that other people find pretty trivial.

Why would Apple delete your photos, and why would your solution for storing them be more robust than Apple’s? I rarely relate to issues people paint about Apple products. The Photos app is great, and moving stuff around between my MacBook a

You’re free to join any guild full of noobs and just ignore guides and material that you deem too optimized for you. I’m the exact opposite from you, always rushing to the end game content and competing on the leaderboards. I dislike nothin

Hey OP, you should read about the carnivore diet and possibly give it a try. It clears brain fog right up and helps with cognitive function.
