Honestly not even touching on what the thing actually costs on its own, I don’t like the idea of signaling to people so clearly that I had 2k +tax to spend on a cell phone I’m not always in the best areas so this def comes up for me persona

People are insufferable with the amount of criticism Like no one is above reproach and def everyone is open to criticism, it to open a thread with 1200 comments and see this as the first comment was super annoying So much stuff to discuss

It’s funny how we always celebrate (or at the very least don’t comment negatively) when someone/a startup sets out to build an ecosystem and then love punishing them after they succeed. How very American of us Just curious, how exactly

What will we do when these devices start shipping with their own sim cards and we can’t simply just not connect them to WiFi?

The sad thing is this is unavoidable, or will be for a long time Look at cable tv - even after going premium, you eventually wound up paying for ads anyway In that case, you could make the argument that you could still purchase premium chan

Does anyone else hate how Google Maps zooms in right before a turn? Yeah go ahead and completely change the scale of what I’m looking at a night quite predictable time just as I’m about to need the map the most to make a turn on a street I’

Absolutely not I’ve used Claude exclusively for the past few months Was excited when Sol came out a few weeks ago and loaded it up I made the mistake of treating it as if it were Claude - I’d assumed they were close enough in ability and tr

You can just use hooks to physically (so to speak) prevent it from running the most sensitive commands. I find that peace of mind enough for me. E.G. no deletes, no deploying to <env>, etc etc Everything else you can sort of review wh

What a grounded take on this and wished more people saw it this way Just yet another case of people seeing only the extremes and not the entire spectrum You nailed it: in a corporate setting, code is definitely not the hardest part and it’s

The difference is he’s not passing judgement on it or jumping to conclusions, fyi

Haha it’s so comical how predictable downvotes are - which is a proxy for knowing what developers sensibilities are Wild to me that we see this even in what is a relatively more “sophisticated” forum

100% A novice writing code by hand could also write spaghetti code If you've worked in enterprise software, you might have seen that even competent professionals can write spaghetti code At this point AI really is just garbage in garba

One thing that popped into my head is that this shows how committed they are to building something that scales across the world China has zero energy concerns in terms of energy production - not literally zero, but they’d be able to priorit

Yes but it’s far better than anything anyone, let alone a small child, could make in 15 minutes On the other hand an engineer might take a couple hours and build this in a clean way with the right prompting These “got ‘em” ai criticism comm

No mention of Roku I use one but only when traveling at hotels - it’s one of the only sticks that can connect to captive WiFi networks at hotels I’ve got barely anything on it so privacy be damned - but at this point this is why I just buy

Yes exactly Math isn’t necessarily hard, but it’s incredibly dense A simple statement like let f(x) be a continuous function can carry a lot of definitions In that statement, if you missed the day in class where they covered continuous func

How unfortunate - I’d rather work with a lesser model than put up with bullshit ads I finally freed myself from Google using Kagi instead I don’t currently use OpenAI but if Claude pulls this shit too I’ll have a problem on my hands

The open weights vs frontier models is reminding me more and more of the Linux vs Windows I grew up with (slashdot randomly popped into my head saying that) I have a feeling this is the next…frontier of that fight One can only hope it event

Can you explain here without an LLM? Really curious to hear more about this Unless all of congress is included in that 100k, I’d love to hear a plausible scenario where this is actually achievable and not merely some clever edge case you fo

I didn’t know this but it’s the kind of stuff our tax dollars pay for and ultimately why I’m so disgruntled about the high taxes we pay - especially in the middle class No problem paying taxes - my entire gripe is with what what the moneys

The sad thing is that the knee jerk reaction here is going to be “omg just vote with your wallet, don’t buy” But the truth is it’s bullshit and this attitude that companies should be able to do whatever they want because it’s a free market

What a terrible take First of all, who said this is a disaster? Second of all, OP never even said anything about no regulation - they specifically said they wanted transparency which is 100% valid and better than a world where the governmen
