I think what we have right now is an excellent interface for low-friction, non-specialised interaction by humans (work or personal use) with a vast array of highly specialised and highly-complex systems. What it isn't is the actual fin

It's just a function of how much code you need to write, and how much un-interrupted time you have. Editing this kind of configuration has far less cognitive load and loading time, so distractions aren't as destructive to the task

I have a related question I guess, it relates to how I can visualise the foundations of this beyond just a code implementation. Where does this come from in abstract/math? Did we not have it before, or did we just not consider it an av

And I really don't think it's aged that well. Large parts of defining what "good layout" for text is relies on a societal consensus that their taste aligns with it, and I think we've moved on.

There's no value in Amazon burning money to 'compete' when there no clear endgame. Right now the competition seems to be who can burn a a hundred billion dollars the fastest. Once a use case and platform has stabilized, they&

No pods are an absolute misery and at best a concrete example of what not to do. So at least there's that.

Also in my 40s and above senior level. Theres not many mental workouts in day to day coding because the world is just not a new challenge every day. What I consider 'boilerplate' just expands to include things I've written a

'AI businesses just aren't like anything before them'. The entire article is a business pseudo-philosophy word salad equivalent of tiktok 'I'm not like other (men/women)' posts.

I honestly thought the touch bar was introduced into the laptops as 'test' iteration before it leading somewhere, and maybe partly with the ipad pros. For on-the-move prosumer use in music, video, and image editing I can see a lot

Hopefully it's better than midjourney at least. Ignoring key parts of the prompt seems to be a feature.

It also provides unlimited conference as well as thinktank and future startup opportunities.

In a similar role and place with this. My biggest take so far: If you're a disciplined coder that can handle 20% of an entire project's (project being a bug through to an entire app) time being used on research, planning and break

It's really bad if you value design as a primary part of your business language. If not then it's fine. For example, AI could produce Graphanas design standards, which is fine for the audience.

Agreed. The only caveat to that being a global rule is: 'At scale in a particular niche, even an excellent generalist platform might not be good enough' But then the follow on question begs: "Am I really suffering the same pr

I'm still stuck at the bit where just throwing more and more data to make a very complex encyclopedia with an interesting search interface that tricks us into believing it's human-like gets us to AGI when we have no examples and t

Agreed, I always give my one pager product briefs to AI to break down into phases and tasks, and then progress trackers. I explicitly prompt for verbose phases, tasks and test plans. Yesterday without much promoting Claude 4.1 gave me 10 ph

It definitely has a use case for prototyping sound design, which can be either incredibly time consuming or require an awful lot of niche expensive gear. Something like playing around to get an unusual drone can take a lot of time and effor

What is ARs 1000 songs in your pocket moment though? There is no thing that needs the ubiquity that Jobs would have channelled the idea into. In my opinion it would just never have seen the light of day.

There's a lot of heavy lifting in the idea that someone who tried it / used it of their own volition that happens to work for, say Google, is the same as indicating that your product is "used by Google". It's a lie

I don't get it. Good visualization takes complexity and brings clarity and focus to it. There's seemingly nothing connecting where things are placed or how moving in any direction will lead you somewhere that develops understandin

I'm in the ~25 years group and my only AI pleasure is the f**ing boilerplate that some libs and frameworks insist on still pushing onto the developer that is almost always the same but not quite. I actually get to do the job I love whi

Imagine losing control of a puppet state so badly that you end up losing a large amount of global relevance and credibility. I know that's written kind of lazily and off the cuff but it really hits home how deep the various agencies mu

This is within the context of using it as an alternative to OCR, which would suffer the same issues, with more duct tape and string infrastructure and cost.

If they made borderline "features" like this opt-in, no one would and then the people driving this won't get the career prospect boost of shipping a new feature.

It seems to me that every iteration of AI agent framework idea is taking us closer down the path to what is ultimately just an Actor framework where the mailbox is an AI agent instead of a code loop. Someone should probably just cut out the

The US makes small volumes of incredibly expensive drones because it suits how their suppliers want to guarantee contracts for big budgets. What this conflict has shown is you need constantly supplies of basically garage-band single use dro

The sheer volume of sidequest projects they've put resources into that were clearly self-indulgence projects from internal staff, that had no obvious market need or target user-base put me off years ago. They're kept in existence
