I don’t believe for a second that they lack the engineering talent. It’s just another example of a company demonstrating shamelessness in the pursuit of growth, in an industry wher…

From the outside, it looks like OpenAI got exactly the kind of event they could market the hell out of to demonstrate the capability of the model. But the event itself only seems p…

I was just working on backing up my mac yesterday. I talked to Fable about replacing Carbon Copy Cloner with a custom script. One of the things I realized is that backups are about…

I do use git branches, but they solve isolation, which isn't my pain point with git. When I'm using agents to code, I don't want to have to stop what I'm doing and commit known-goo…

I agree. My iPhone 12 Mini has seen better days, and I will need a new phone soon. It is disappointing that there is no alternative to the iPhone 12/13 Mini in 2025. The smaller fo…
