Now if they would only figure out how to Hide My Phone Number then these feature would actually impact privacy.

I had a similar experience logging in to FB to delete my account which was inactive for almost a decade. It’s legit was like the movie Idiocracy. Casino vibes, over stimulation, people saying stupid thing, trying to sift through lots of gar

Why anyone still engages with these platforms is totally beyond me. They are bad for your soul, bad for the nation, bad for the world.

Right, the fact that the current administration had a 4 year hiatus only extended this period. Think about all the young people that grew up with this as normal.

I am one of the people that long for the old internet. I don’t long for it because there are too many normal people on it now. The old internet was interesting, open, simple, un-gated, and relatively egalitarian with few corporate interests

> And then there’s the travesty that is Tahoe. Liquid Glass has no place on the desktop (or the phone really). I migrated to Mac OS X from OpenBSD in like 2002 or so. MacOS has been a steady decline for many years, probably soon after

It would be dull to write about all the great new building materials our houses are made and the utter lack of futuristic convenience we actually have.

I love the concept, it would be great to see broader uptake of an open standard for this sort of space.

Didn’t they just raise $85B “for AI”?

But what’s the crime? The thing got out of its poorly secured cage and caused what damage? Imagine instead of an agent it was a dog or a chimpanzee that got into the neighbor’s yard and the particular neighbor isn’t even pissed about it.

But what do you honestly expect would happen? It’s “an accident” with no actual damages.

Being a poorly equipped victim still isn’t a crime thankfully. It may or may not be a crime and typically the damaged party is pressing the charges. One would argue there is no actual damage here.

My hunch is they are all seeing the problems at OpenAI and some other collateral damage on the horizon. They don’t want the US government intervening to try to save OpenAI. A little controlled burn is probably good for the industry long ter

The VAST thing speaks to me. I am capable of deep focus work but often am subject to constant interruption and multiple concurrent urgent demands. During a work week I get a lot done but often feel pulled in a lot of directions like I imagi

I can’t help but feel all warm and fuzzy with my head in the sand and getting a shout out in TFA for calling it marketing. We don’t currently and probably won’t ever fully understand the conditions that precipitated these events. That and t

/ot Hamburger menu at the bottom right is pretty nice too. Haven’t seen it there before but seems like a very user friendly choice for its placement.

I would attribute it to profit motive instead of either stupidity or malice.

This is marketing+. They will look for policy action here to try to capture tax payer dollars.

I don’t understand what is the primary innovation over other frameworks. In passing it looks like Express 10 years ago but maybe with some modernization and flexibility to leverage components from various other frameworks.

Why can’t it be both?

I love the concept here. The site and preannounce feels a little gimmicky. It’s definitely of the time but kind of hard to commit to without more detail. Like $25 isn’t a lot of money to reserve a real truck but seems like a lot for a maybe

Translator services usually get paid because they offer an accreditation or certification that the humans doing the translation are trained and are not randos / computers. I could imagine these services becoming marginally more efficie

I think the market is discounting some of the AI driven growth or maybe pricing in the likelihood of a correction. Look at some of the blow out earnings recently where the market shrugs it off. To your point, many non-AI companies are now d

Lots of people I work with seem to use Claude for things they should be learning or doing themselves. Stuff that really isn’t hard and if they took the time to learn themselves then they would be better at their job and more valuable. Inste

Sadly I have spent lots of time with ooxml and pdf and my experience suggests there really aren’t reliable means for dealing with seemingly simple changes.

I haven’t looked under the hood here but to make simple text replacement via command line is an LLM even required? A human driven command line tool to do basic substitution on batches of files reliably would be amazing.

In these examples cost of the solution does not generally scale with the use of the solution in the same way we see token use. In the case of LLMs the cost of use scales very differently than seat licensing. Many corporations have found the
