    Someone could turn this into an app. Scan the medical bill, analyze the codes, understand the rules, show a target to negotiate. Could be extra spicy by providing the public data o…

    The Fraud of Big AI

    We're being gaslit. Claude 4.5 Sonnet could write complete patches at launch. Now the context window is so destroyed it can't finish most prompts without truncating. Every major mo…

    If they are going to lose the LLM race, at least they could invest in building a great frontend to interact with the non-MS models to capture a share of the revenue... Right now th…

    Ask HN: Why have Microsoft products gone downhill?

    Github Copilot is almost unusable with all the bugs being added alongside the features. Poor UX decisions like clicking in a code block jumping the scroll or forcing a completion t…

    Nice strawman. The core of webapis is about opening up lower level functionality from the sandbox/accessibility of the web. Beyond audio and video IO, there's great stuff coming wi…

    Breaking things is not extending battery life. Battery life assumes functionality. Breaking functionality to extend it is a scapegoat and the break-whatever-you-want could be provi…

    Or just the way the menus are on apps. Some app implement their own file/edit/view menus at the top of the app, then some will use the apple version at the top of the OS. If you pl…

    Adds hours of battery life to the expense of making your microphone input completely inaudible due to throttling if you background the tab it's running on. On iOS you cannot even k…

    If we dismiss remote management as a non-core feature shouldn't we consider installing a new browser to be advanced usage as well? I understand that this post is about MacOS, but y…

    As I said sprinkle a bit of benchmarks polluting the training and you have your loop. Each iteration will be better at benchmarks if that's the goal and that goal/context reinforce…

    The benchmarks are not typically ongoing, we do not often see comparisons between week 1 and week 8. Sprinkle a bit of training on the benchmarks in and you can ensure higher score…
