I was the same until I ran out of Anthropic tokens one day and used "Grok Build" which is their Claude Code clone. You can use config to point it any LLM API so don't need to use Grok, and I like the UI better too.

The AI code _reviewer_ is a whole new level of exhausting. Submit your PR and 1m later it has 8 comments.

OK so I am not the only one who never heard 'load-bearing' before Claude started using it 100 times a day?

Perhaps this is related to their new "invisible watermark" concept which would probably require rather contrived language patterns to make possible.

Never understood this about Amazon. Alexa is a perfect example. When the Echo devices came out around 10 years ago they blew people away with voice UI, and yet the Alexa app was and is a poorly made web wrapper with car infotainment levels

>> there’s a million small scale AI apps that just aren’t worth building because there’s no way to do the billing that makes sense Maybe they are not worth building at all then. Like MoviePass wasn’t.

I think they are smart making a distinction between a D2C subscription which they control the interface to and eat the losses for vs B2B use where they pay for what they use. Allows them to optimize their clients and use private APIs for ex

Looks like a sim racers rig or something Logitech designed. This bland tech aesthetic and cost cutting mindset has already ruined Porsche and I guess now it’s Ferrari’s turn.

Tesla is good at building big factories. The Cybertruck (total sales ~46k) factory was designed to build 250k units a year and later 125k. Meanwhile BYD outsells Tesla in China and globally.

That’s what the sites that generate the music are for. Bandcamp is for musicians.

Used this when I moved internationally. Cool to watch your stuff moving around the world!

You must have been using SO different to me then. For me it was more like a Wikipedia for specific language errors, compiler/IDE issues etc. Never once saw anyone discussing how to implement CRUD or claiming one framework was better th

First they put screens in for navigation because people were using dash mounted ones. Guess it felt logical to move the entertainment and info in there too (infotainment) and then came the EVs and the goofy tech era of cars. Late 2010s was

It’s also a lot easier on the production line if you don’t need a new set of control knobs and blanks for each vehicle that comes by based on how it’s been spec’d. But that’s the issue. Grey suits in boardrooms with no passion for driving m

The golden rule from Apple in 2007 when they changed to flat design was icon or text - never both together. Apple abandoned enforcing HIG for app developers around 2012 (Facebook tiled menu, modal abuse, and hamburger) but now seems to have

Nielsen Norman used to be quoted constantly during UX discussions at various places I worked. Seems like UX folks and Information Architects have slowly been replaced by a general purpose “designer”

This sounds like old TV exec logic. Disney IP is not “premium” any more thanks to relentless overuse in their garbage movies and shows. My teenage kids watch YT and TikTok (which gets highly relevant UGC daily) and couldn’t care less about

Because they are too busy coming up with new “features” that nobody needs or wants so they can talk about delivering value in a yearly review. Fixing broken UX is not a priority at Apple any more. They stopped enforcing HIGs for 3rd party a

That all sounds great but with CARIAD now being involved at Rivian I won’t hold my breath on that roadmap being executed.

I assumed it was just me getting worse at typing but combined with aggressively wrong autocorrect and mysterious blue lines under everything I type they seem to have ruined yet another perfectly good UX.

To be fair the humans working at Disney had their chance and blew it.

A moat is a permanent feature protecting a castle against attack. That’s the metaphor. If it’s not their own device intrinsically protecting them then it’s not a moat in my book.

Well that’s the thing with moats - they don’t just disappear one day.

Nothing of value is my prediction.

Exactly - Disney sees this as a cheaper way to produce the same slop.

by herbturbo 9mo ago
Thats a business agreement not a moat. And you might have rights to generate the characters but they still need to do something. You only have to look at the repeated Disney flops to see they themselves have no ideas.

by herbturbo 9mo ago
Disney only exists now to exploit the IP it has bought. They just want to join the circle of OpenAI, Nvidia, Microsoft et al making meaningless deals with each other.

Problem with that statement is some of these “foreign low-cost” countries are building great cars while American vehicles have a global reputation for being garbage. The only American-made vehicle that sold in any volume outside the US was

That is the result of automakers trying to push everything into the HMI so they can eliminate physical controls. They are doing to cars what electronics manufacturers did to TVs - taking an already-solved UX problem and destroying it with p
