love his writing style. pure opposite of slop, oozing with humanity

Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite has been my go to for cheap document processing at scale (especially with 50% off batch mode), but they are really boiling the frog with pricing increases wit…

Another happy user of Handy here! After seeing so many *subscription based* transcription apps all wrapping *open source models*, finding Handy was a real delight and I'm happy to …

Haha, yes flex apps definitely had a feel to them! It's easy to criticize but remember, this was back in the days of supporting IE6 and XHR was still relatively new! Flex's standar…

Comic Chat has a special place in my heart because it inspired my first startup back in 2008, a comic creation web app called Chogger. The site grew to 30K monthly users, mostly K-…

> This machine specs reminds me of how awful '90s laptop screens, based on a passive matrix, were. Definitely something I don't miss from that era. While the 1991 Apple PowerBook 1…

it's tough for people here to admit, but AI is good at summarizing and that includes commit messages and PR fields but that does NOT mean you get to skip understanding the code & w…

> In large-scale combat operations, victory will depend less on which force fields the most advanced weapons and more on which can sustain combat power under persistent attack. "fo…

I think it's just their version of "Designed by Apple in California"

people are saying this is benchmark is saturated but all of these have occlusion issues, even sol max. A skilled human artist wouldn't have both legs in front of the bike, or a sin…

yes, microsoft does hold a trademark for notepad. As litigious as MS is I'm pleasantly surprised they've left notepad++ alone. Unfortunately anthropic is actively eroding community…

PSA stop putting bigco IP in your project names! has clawdbot taught us nothing?

I was surprised with how well grok imagine performed when reviewing fast image generation. It balances quality, speed and cost really well with under $0.02 per 1K image within a fe…

My OS 9 battlestation is a G4 tower (Digital Audio) with a Sonnet dual 1.6GHz upgrade, 1.5GB RAM and a nvidia GeForce4 Ti which is one of the best OS 9 graphics cards available.

I'm not sure why folks continue to build services with trademarked names they don't own. If Anthropic had a problem with Clawdbot they are certainly going to take issue with FableP…

when I saw those pics I thought: all this effort in the ingredients just to burn them light blonde pancakes taste the best IMO, but char being carcinogenic seems compelling enough …

I was thinking the same thing. The tuning slide is not what you use while playing, it's the separate slide on the bell side of the trombone for fine adjustment to ensure you're in …

Is AI responsible for the committed code? Should AI be blamed when services go down due to the change? The answer is absolutely not - the developer is responsible whether the code …

I think of the AVP like Steve Jobs once described: headphones for video [0] I use it a few hours a day, a few times a week exclusively as a virtual display for my macbook. Being ab…

You're underestimating Apple's meticulous planning, which has only become more intense in the Cook era. Bad feature/UX or not, each one of those decisions was calculated. Read this…

Apple loves to stealth test new tech in full public view by sneaking it into relatively mundane places, so debuting agentic AI via accessibility is very on brand. A few other examp…

I bought one of these in 2004 and it really was a slice of the future. The screen was way bigger and higher res than anything I had owned prior, and the ability to jailbreak and ru…

it would be funny if this was meant as a goodwill gesture from anthropic to counter all the recent bad press, only for it to cause even more drama

re: US Politics, I view Apple's gift of the gold & glass trophy to Trump more as a humiliation ritual Cook had to endure so that they can continue to uphold their principles, but w…

I reject pretty much every point of this article, and I worry that it will lead readers down two dark roads: apathy and secrecy do you really think bigco is going to steal your vib…
