wow, how to romanticize X.400 ... - poor Internet fit, assuming managed, trusted networks - some promises depended on all participating systems behaving honestly - once a message reaches another server, you cannot guarantee it isn't co

If anyone wonders how AI might end up undermining humanity, this is a small preview. We're gradually handing over more processes to automation (YOLO, right?) while the systems themselves remain fundamentally "non empathetic".

openai, anthropic, gemini &co should pay wikipedia the rent.

major possible risk, for tech savvy people: another walled garden, unless: - openai will open the memory interface (why would they?) - openai will allow other models (why would they?) - openai will allow a neutral agent/procedural laye

Looking forward for the 1Password extension to work properly. Installation works, but the integration doesn't yet. Nice lean UI though, thanks to Chromium oc

Seems overkill when you can simply tell agents to do that automatically

Plus vscode is maintained by a company with thousands of devs. Obsidian is less than 10 people, which is amazing. About plugins why blame the product, pls check what you install on your machine instead

totally agree, chasing ultrathin designs has diminishing returns. There's so many practical ways to extend battery life such as letting users selectively dial down performance, adding a bit of extra thickness/weight, rethinking ho

Based on what evidence that adding more battery necessarily makes it a pound? Based on what precedent of mainstream phones ever approaching that weight?

Based on what teardown are you concluding the logic boards take up that much? Based on what phone design history where removing cameras failed to free up meaningful space?

Agree, but by how much on the Pro models? Shouldn’t we expect twice the battery duration every 24 months at least?

It wouldn’t weigh 4lbs if Apple invested on that research. Who really cares about this much thin phones really, Apple is out of ideas, far from revolutionary anymore. They have the hardware to run LLMs, they should invest on batteries and i

Around 2000-2005 there was a race for the smallest phone with ludicrously small displays. I believe Nokia was kind of leading and “winning” the race. Then blackberry and iPhone reversed trajectory and suddenly bigger was better, and Nokia d

This is a result of the current tech being filled with dark design patterns. Tech is designed to be addictive, indispensable, indisputable, mandatory. And at the same time complex, hard, difficult, risky. We are so used to tech as it is tha

Hate seeing how repos are so polluted by dot-files and dot-folders. I wish tools and SDKs converged into a single dot-folder, so that we could look at repos without seeing everything everywhere

Unlikely but I’d like for this to be true, specially if under the water. Leaving out politics and paranoia for a sec, engineering wise it would be quite an achievement.

It’s time to have self hosted solutions for this kind of activity, with simple UIs, voice editing, text to audio, without subscriptions. Just a matter of time OSS will deliver

I gave it quick run, didn't work. No biggie anyway, let's wait for local models, they will do whatever we want them to do, stripped of any censorship.

Use a function? bar(“zoop”) It’s just syntax, like we used to have print “foo” that later became print(“foo”)
