    Thank you, this is a huge pet peeve of mine. I mis-click my airpod and suddenly this app I've never used and don't want launches

    Just chiming in for anyone else reading this and worried about their hair thinning, this is a thing men worry about much more than women. Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart, Michael Jor…

    What's interesting is that in this article, the author describes making an understandable mistake (accidentally deleting Trunk aka main from source) and how their team was able to …

    That comment seemed to revolve around consent. Willful, nonconsensual dosing of anyone with any drug is a violation, and yes doing it and bragging about it is reprehensible.

    Fun, but the way they fly doesn't quite match my intuition. Why would an object curve when I send it out on the tangent? Wouldn't that be a straight line unless it's affected by a …

    Wooooow, I LOVED this site when it first came out and I still reference it when I talk about the early web and how it enabled me to learn things I never would have otherwise. I can…

    This is so lovely! If the original author is here in the comments, some feature requests that would absolutely make my day, presumably from easiest to hardest :) I love this so muc…

    For anyone taking this comment seriously, please research and understand the potential long term impacts of GBL before going near it. It's neurotoxic and can cause brainfog and low…

    Awesome to see real UX experimentation, and this elicited a strong response from me at first "oh I haaaaate that". On further reflection, this is very interesting and I understand …

    I believe this was a statement on cost per token to us as consumers of the service

    It all reads like hallucinated slop from top to bottom "I've been tracking software quality metrics for three years" and then doesn't show any of the receipts, and simply lists ane…

    Folks have been predicting that the next big shift in computing will be onto glasses that we wear and away from our phones. The tech just hasn’t been there yet and most of the devi…

    Has anyone gotten access to Imagen 4 for image editing, inpaint/outpaint or using reference images yet? That's core to my workflow and their docs just lead to a google form. I've s…

    I highly recommend the command line AI coding tool, AIder. You fill its context window with a few relevant files, ask questions, and then set it to code mode and it starts making c…

    We’ve been hitting this in our work and in experimentation, and I can confirm that Claude sonnet 3.5 has gotten 100% of the way there, including working through errors and tricky p…

    Interestingly, I’m pretty sure they mean they hit the limit with tokens on Claude. There’s a daily 2.5 million token limit that you can use up fairly quickly with 100K context So t…

    100% Being able to write, code, and read from a large virtual terminal without a clunky visor on would be amazing.
