"I put it in the terms of use, so I am not responsible for what my poorly developer software does" only goes so far. It could be argued, probably successfully, that this is a case of gross negligence and that Anthropic should be h

Ok, so you've just admitted that you have deployed thousands of lines of likely non-human reviewed LLM generated code (Bun's rust rewrite) to millions of client machines (via the Claude Code app auto-update) with significant local

I'd disagree that the article frames that Apple planned this. But Apple did spend 10+ years pretending that the iPad was the computer of the future, despite all evidence to the contrary. It also went through a long period where it acti

I am missing the point of Tailwind? Don't you get the same effect and functionality from simply adding style attributes directly on the elements in HTML? Why is that approach considered bad practice, while Tailwind, which is effectivel

I agree that it says that people are willing to pay more, more often, for a smartphone than they are willing to pay for laptop and desktop computers. However, how you can then extend this to: > The market has spoken and they love the loc

This is great news and hopefully makes SwiftUI more feasible as a long term cross-platform UI option. What would be great is if Apple started working with and contributing to this toolset. What would be even better is if Apple then open-sou

I was going to defend Xcode and say it's not that bad... but then I read the article and realised that I have just become so accustomed to these problems that I don't consciously realise the daily hellfire that I experience. Even

Interesting idea. Ideally the 'Never Monetise' site would record and have a non-removable list of any site which had a hyperlink through to it, as a ledger of the sites that have made this commitment. If they do then change their

I would say that currently for mobile, iOS still monetises a lot better than Android. Once you've developed your brand and own your own distribution channel however, the best strategy seems to be to distribute via the App Store (which

From the reports from Bloomberg etc, yes, it does sound like some Apple AI employees may need rallying. Though it sounds like what they actually got was fairly in-substantive statements without a clearly articulated AI strategy. Doesn'

Yes it may be entirely based upon AI buzz, but there should be no reason that Apple also couldn't have inflated stock due to AI buzz. For example, I have questioned why Nvidia has been able to be the unchallenged leader in AI graphics
