Same experience. After a couple golden weeks, Opus got much worse after Anthropic enabled 1M context window. It felt like a very steep downfall, for it seemed like I could trust it more completely and then I could trust it less than last ye

Why do we put up with this. It's not onlyfans: it's facebook.com. For an user to register and then by default receive this content it's treacherous and inmoral.

Typing this on a X1 gen 6 on my home; paid $230 for it a couple months ago. My impression is that it's a modern, perfectly adequate notebook, if a bit unexciting. But maybe that's because I'm an spoiled child, because I haven

The thing about SPAs is that computation can be done in the customer's machine. That usually makes it worse for everyone, both devs and users (although sometimes it doesn't). I personally believe that we can create better experien

What has actually changed in the last 13 years regarding Whatsapp? Video. And I believe that's the reason why anyone hasn't actually challenged them regarding messaging: you can build a similar application with similar features wi

Yeah, you can buy a cheap android and uninstall everything, except the thing will still be huge and google will still be in your pocket. They're all made for media production/consumption, and there are very few adequate devices av

Yeah, zuck is the worst of the bunch. Funny that some weeks ago there was so much praise in HN for open sourcing ai models and being an engineer at heart. No, buddy. He's evil. Dunno if he was born this way or became this way but behin
