I dropped back to Opus 4.8 and it's so much better. Opus 5 was - to your point - actually driving me insane.

I’ve had a Co2 monitor for years. I get headaches from increased Co2 levels plus the lethargic state. It’s been revolutionary - including on long drives where it’s def saved me from crashing. Personal opinion, you can see cognitive decline

I was home schooled - so my perspective of education is at best, unique. I finished a dual major undergrad at 18, got an MBA at 21. Based on my own experiences and those of people I’ve watched, I have three points. Sample size of 1 and all

I’ve long wondered if this was deliberate - only conversations where the participants are overtly using the translator get parsed.

The post (after reading it) is not political in the today sense. It’s connecting an in vogue concept to toxic thought patterns and notes a correlation in both the patterns and trending association of some influencers to a specific political

Damn I thought this was just me. I figured it was a temp thing - device too hot for ongoing high brightness, and the photos app overrides because someone decided if you are trying to show a photo, do the job right to the limit. Ugh so newe

You have to remember that Steve spent months, stories say half a year, preparing for the keynote. Arguments would get so heated he’d fire people and bring them back the next day to continue. Hate him or love him; he knew that was the single

I can't find the link now, but Anthropic has a post about using either a light model call or other logic (regex etc) to dynamically decide what tools to expose per incoming request. I've run into the same issue and I still end up

The site notes all starting images are GPT2 imagine gen or nano banana - so that’s probably part of it too.

You know, this comments page saddens me. I came to hacker news years ago because every single post had careful, intelligent discussion. Countless times people clearly put their emotions aside and carefully followed the guidelines - be kind,

I think the outliers have burned them more recently and even Apple loses historical memory over time. That said I remember everything you said and 100% agree - the nano killed everything around it. It’s been awhile since Apple had a similar

If you need this, it’s a useful function. For me, a expanded duress feature would be unlocking into a fake home screen/instance where my banking apps or messenger apps are not available, but otherwise the phone works. Or even unlocking

Once upon a time you could live in a world of Windows apps designed like Notepad++. Launchy or other apps gave you the spotlight style of opening apps fast from the keyboard, and the start menu was for edge cases... and life in windows was

From Ira Glass: “Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just n

I think the safety of other humans eyes (lidar exposure) is the real negative for lidar use. The MKBHD YouTube video where he shows his phone camera has burned out pixels from lidar equipped car reviews is revealing (if I recall correctly,

Super noob in vector embeddings: I never considered that tables would be a complexifier. (beyond defining in a parseable format for ingestion). Do vector databases do better with long grouped text vs table formats?

Slight tangent counterpoint; sometimes conveying knowledge requires the prettier / flair of a miro/lucid/figma or even full infographic style solution. I like md, and I like mermaid, and I like text / simple. But I know

This is a high area of focus for me and I agree: following a complex convo, especially when it gets picked up again 20-30 min later, is difficult. But not impossible. I’ve had success with prompts that ID all topics and then map all convers

American here; very accurate. On the digital ID part, the government + regulated industries like banking will enforce validating specific types of IDs via third party companies and data sources to use said government / regulated indust

My guess - he’s avoiding political risk. If something goes bad, it’s better to say “it was encrypted but they got the keys” than to defend data wasn’t encrypted. It’s semantics in terms of actual difference to an attacker, but it’s a world

Yeah I agree. But I’ll split it slightly. From a trust perspective I want a real demo. Technical team, deep dive, concept sold now talk me through it type stuff. From a “show non-tech executives the art of the possible as part of 2026/

I’d encourage you to pursue it. I remember the old @breakingnews on Twitter when it first started, people listening to police scanners and typing info-dense one liners on what they heard. To this day the best news service of my life (until

I want to say thank you for writing this. 100% same opinion. I've stuck with Apple - despite their downsides - specifically for their zeal in areas like this. My phone works, I'm glad it blocks others from integrating because I ne

Small review, 2013 BMW 335xi (drove for a test drive). Loved iDrive. Remained my benchmark for car infotainment UI for 10+ years. The main thing, you could DRVIE the car, aggressively, and give commands to infotainment without missing a be

Agreed. Different for different people. Notification summaries are a lifesaver for me. Work MS teams but no copilot, lots of group chats about lower environment issues or prod issues that move super fast. The summaries have legit saved me 1

I would love to hear your view of handling ambitious changes in a large system. (In the middle of this scenario. Mix of experienced/talented and low trust environment.)

Opinion: It never will. Boeing could have been a 100+ year firm; their prior engineering organization was nothing to scoff at. They could have pivoted to a dozen industries and made it work. Again opinion - The returns don’t make up for th

So for a whim, I took this to ChatGPT and asked it to explore a philosophical position and then assess its own assessment for logic vs statistical. Longer prompt responses here: https://text.is/1V0OJ Closing position below

Super fast reply from someone else - Yes, I have a standing air filter unit. If PPM went up I’d kick it into max gear. (Now I have it running on very low continuously and it keeps PPM down) The unit is rated for spaces 2x my square footage
