Thankfully iOS rolled out a permissions prompt for this. Pretty illuminating just how often other apps read the clipboard, e.g. Google Maps reading my clipboard every time I tapped on the text field to search for a destination.

Good. I hope it gets covered many times in the future as well, and that we never forget that the moment we stop fighting tooth and nail to protect our privacy is the exact moment it goes away.

I do the same exact thing, except I disable JavaScript for all sites by default in uBlock Origin. Same experience as you, also: many sites actually work well enough without JavaScript, and the ones that do require it to display anything m

Assuming what GP said is accurate (tokenmaxxers not delivering more value for the usage), the analogy is more like realizing the seniors you hired aren't actually producing any better results than juniors you could get for a quarter of

Surely you cannot possibly believe there is no reason . Don't get me wrong: I hope you are right, and I am generally optimistic about the future of AI. But do you really think, in a world filled with examples of big software companies

This is such a tired argument and it seems to be parroted every single time someone talks about local models on hacker news. Yes, of course the most economical path is to hand over all your data and become fully dependent on a cloud provi

It's impossible for me to use YouTube with the app. Safari + uBlock origin lite and I never see an ad.

Can't say enough good things about agent-shell.el! Xenodium has done amazing work there.

This comment resonated with me so much, and it seems to be a minority view (at least on this website). I have found myself empowered by AI to tackle all sorts of things that would have too high of a barrier to entry for me to want to spend

I was gonna say, you can dislike it because of the design, but understand that that's a subjective opinion that has nothing to do with whether AI is awesome. I actually like these designs, personally.

Also, aren't instructions earlier in the prompt treated with more weight than those that occur much later? Sure, you could insert the system prompt later to avoid re-caching as much, but then the system prompt (if I am understanding co

I also think something along these lines is the correct answer. It can be hard to pin down an exact metric because once you start optimizing for a metric it tends to not be a good measure of the original thing anymore. But in general I thin

I'm so glad it's not just me. M1 MacBook Pro, here, and I quickly gave up on Zed because it felt so laggy to me. Thought it was something wrong with my MacBook (or maybe me).

Not the person you are replying to, but I had the same thought come to mind. Every library and app seems to have its own way of disabling telemetry. In order for a unified way to actually result in unification, everyone has to sign onto it.

I have to imagine the takeaway from comments in this thread would be a big old "it depends." Which is the best almost certainly depends on what you are looking to optimize for and which trade-offs you are willing to accept. Is a l
