> But isn't that "burden" on others always going to be there, whether you or AI wrote it? That's what communicating is... I think it can be OK if AI is used to polish up one’s message or to help structure it. Basicall

i’m not an anti-AI believer. And our career is changing dramatically no doubt. i just think people overestimate short term gains and underestimate long term gains. (applicable to your comment) In this case i had no empirics in the loop. The

just the other week I asked Fable 5 to diagnose the cause of some intermittent latency spikes on an API that queries an OpenSearch cluster at work. I encouraged it to look at the datadog metrics, splunk, the whole works. I let it loose to l

is there an alternative to codex that “just works”? by just works i mean i can install as an app in 1 minute, and i get web search, skills, mcp servers, etc? Bonus points if it can control my chrome tabs like codex can, and if it offers rem

i have not tried it since i’m too scared to try, but i know Codex recently came out with a feature where it can control your chrome browser. Not spin up a chrome browser, but control your open browser tabs. Presumably you might be able to

apparently a tight knick family with open / great communication does not exist, and they must be abusive if they like to know where their kids are. LOL. Yes horrible families exist. the fact that you can’t imagine a family in between t

well it’s a device that can be smart in some crucial ways, without being distracting like a smartphone is. That’s what i mean. no social media or other cancer for a teenage brain. But it has useful apps for day to day life, like maps, music

and i totally respect that point of view. but do realize that every family is different for better or worse, and has a different “culture”. I’m not prescribing how others should run their families or what a good life means. :) For example

you’re correct - that’s the purpose of the Find My app. And this app can send useful notifications.

by lurking_swe 3mo ago
nitpick: the “where is erica?” is a catchy title for the feature being showcased - which is actually a notification that your child made it to school safely. Look at the screenshot closely (i don’t think you did). That’s a genuinely usefu

feeling sorry for single children is just weird, not going to lie. I was a single child. Yes i had many boring days as a toddler. I’m not a sad adult because of that, i’m happily married and expecting my 1st soon. One of my parents passed l

What type of silly response is that? And I could say the U.S. takes over countries like cuba and turns off their power. We’re definitely the good guys LOL. Look, I live in the U.S. but i’m not stupid about what we do. We are a terror around

what you say about your desires makes perfect sense. I too would enjoy that kind of world. But how do you envision that playing out in reality? Would you just nicely walk up to the White House and ask them to pass a law for UBI? Would you p

nice to hear an opinion from a primary source! One thing confused me though - you felt like the on-device processing is likely a gimmick. I naively assumed this is a big deal because it means it always work, regardless of your cell service.

your argument assumes that “fully integrated and in-my-face” == best form factor. Maybe for certain tasks or certain people. But in general i disagree with that take. The fact that i can stow away my phone into my pocket, not creep out byst

what about web apps that requires oauth login - for normal users? For example, is a typical Google Drive user expected to install an official google drive CLI and a skill md file just to interact with Google Drive in the chatgpt app? That s

obviously it is marketing - it’s why cigarettes became popular in the first place. They had a “cool” factor. And most people are sheep so…makes sense?

another take: some people are emotionally “dumb” and have a really hard time feeling empathy for others. This is just another way to force the bully to be in someone else’s shoes…literally.

there’s different types of sprinklers which can be used in different settings. :) And actually i misspoke on the 40C! I mixed up that number with something else so that’s my bad. It actually activates around 60C-70C depending on the make&#

both. the map has many detailed settings which you might change once in a while. there are also certain things you’d want to change (or activate) often - we could argue those are controls. Like muting, changing volume, or finding a nearby g

people have been struggling to afford every day life for decades. So that’s nothing new. Unless only people in the 1st world count as people lol. You’re either emotionally consumed by the human struggle or not, it’s a personality thing - in
