> if you make the same argument for flight it looks really weak. flight is an extremely straightforward concept based in relatively simple physics where the majority of the critica…

wouldn't call myself a detractor. i wouldn't call it a belief system i hold (i am an engineer 20 years into my career and would love to automate away the tedious parts of my job i'…

so to clarify your case, you are having it generate a new application, from scratch, and then benchmarking the quality of the output and how fast it got to the solution you were se…

you didn't provide an anecdote. you just said "it's better." an anecdote would be "claude 4 failed in x way, and claude 4.5 succeeds consistently." "it is better" is a statement of…

"it's better at coding" is not useful information, sorry. i'd love to hear tangible ways it's actually better. does it still succumb to coding itself in circles, taking multiple de…

every time i say "the tech seems to be stagnating" or "this model seems worse" based on my observations i get this response. "well, it's better for other use cases." i have even he…

Nobody could have seen this coming. Nobody at all.

totally familiar with that - more often than not (in that it's always been the case) that is a function of how the company chose to build things, however, and not the base framewor…

realistically i've worked at very few companies whose delivery is held back meaningfully by the framework something is built in. when there's friction, it's much more likely to com…

perfectly reasonable read of it, honestly. i think i'm just very tired by all of this.

at what point does it make sense to say “maybe you don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt” because it sincerely feels well past that point by all measures.

i needed an "oh, that's really nice" story today. this delivered. in every way, this seems well-intentioned, quirky, cute, fun, and positive. unless there's some subtext i'm missin…

this makes me feel less crazy apple ebbs and flows in terms of how on the ball they are in any given area, but it feels we're at a strange inflection point where their hardware is …

the way i've heard it explained is functionally that the ultra rich are either leaning towards things like those private suites onboard a large plane, or flying in a private jet. p…

i don't. i'm explicitly choosing not to be pedantic and instead hoping you'll take what i say as what it obviously is intended to mean and not as a very specific and accurate phras…

as a person who likes airplanes (and airliners in particular,) i think it's cool that a commercially-focused aircraft manufacturer has managed to return to a type of flight that ha…

nope. commercial and private jets generally cap out around mach 0.9 i am very rusty on the economics and details of supersonic commercial flight, but the general gist as i recall i…

i don't disagree with any of that, i'm extremely skeptical that they will ever scale this up however: there is, now. this is a civil aircraft flying supersonic, which is still some…

there hasn't been supersonic civil aviation, as far as i am aware, since the concorde was grounded. there are no active commercial aircraft capable of going supersonic. this is sig…

wow! this sure is great! gemini has worked so great up until this point - for example, i learned that a man who died in 1850 is one of three private owners of the airbus a340-600 l…

as an avid apple music user i am continually frustrated by what an afterthought the windows app is it's a continuation of apple's legacy of barely putting in the minimum to ship an…

there is a little icon that is like... three lines next to an arrow in an L shape, but it's honestly unclear what it means visually (it doesn't read as AI, and I feel like "little …

i mean the register is kinda more of a tabloid than anything, it's real-ish news but with a loose and snarky editorial style, so... it's pretty on-brand.

Apple Intelligence is kind of uniquely bad. I don't understand how, but its AI message summaries often completely flip the meaning of texts I've received. I've gotten summaries tha…
