    Brave said they’ll keep some select MV2 extensions, though that remains to be seen. Especially if it causes too much maintenance headache with upstream chromium. Also it seems that…

    Same here. I’m least familiar with macOS compared to Windows and Linux, but the uninstall story on Mac was always baffling to me. On Windows, it’s not perfect because it’s ultimate…

    Every arbitrary REPL or program written by an LLM to solve a problem can absolutely become a toolcall that does the same thing. Are you planning to provide hundreds, or thousands, …

    I think part of the “just use a CLI” crowd might also be building similar agents as ChatGPT and Claude.ai web interface. I know at least 4 teams doing that in one company. All thos…

    It seems that cloudflare is trying to create an internet-wide agent identity platform in general. I have seem few attempts at “agent identity” but they were all intrinsically limit…

    What are some examples of what you see coming that requires agent wallets or agent protocols (I’m not 100% sure what that means tbh) or agent cloud services (what makes these diffe…

    I know exactly the persona you’re describing. It’s unfortunate because they have a great learning tool now. I always felt bad for over eager engineers who were not strong. They had…

    In this scenario the answer for me is C. I say “Ask an agent about terms X, Y and Z and it should be able to explain this well for you. Try that and see if it works for you or if y…

    I wonder if there is something like nohello.net but norawllmoutput.net

    It’s truly unhinged behavior that has me questioning how much longer I want to remain in the industry. You always knew that 80% of the people on any team or in any large company ju…

    I deal with this all day long at work and it’s exhausting. People almost acting like no one has thought of it “I asked Claude what happened, and it spit out this 300 line response.…

    Even if you assume OS X is 1999-2016 and macOS is 2016- then the numbers are still odd.

    Is my understanding of that graph right? if the periodic change is the weekends, that means the total share percentage of requests from Windows and macOS users drops, while Linux i…

    A JujutsuHub.com business opportunity presents itself. How many tokens do you have?

    Huh, ok. I disagree. Sparkle emoji and beige cream or orange accents every where is definitely AI output, not some “AI features here”. I don’t even see sparkle emoji on any AI webs…

    It’s funny how the tides shift. I remember the more dominant online position in the early 2010s being “I don’t want to create yet-another-account for your website. Just let me sign…

    You can host your own identity provider. Authentik, Keycloak, authelia or Zitadel work. I don’t fully agree with tailscale’s decision to not want to be an identity provider but I u…

    Fair point. They also still exist for corporate and business travels. But it’s fair to say the field did get massively disrupted (god I hate that word) because of technology.

    I did wonder which one to put that under. It might be it own category of “made by AI company”, but I also think both Anthropic and OpenAI have been vocal about how their codex and …

    Agreed. It can also be people who have problems with X for other reasons and like to see X “disrupted” (e.g. a disgruntled grad student who got screwed over by a bad advisor or a h…

    Yes, that at least is a valid argument. I do’t really agree with it though. Humans need meaning and purpose in life. Intellectual pursuit is that meaning or purpose for a lot of pe…
