That's a decent article. My only issue is it seems heavily biased at the end, or at least he seems to misunderstand what the 'A.I. types in Silicon Valley' are doing. > Computers s…

They're talking about before it's configured by the user. It defaults to 'free' models so that the user can ask a question immediately on startup. Once you configure a provider, th…

Yeah, that's the point. Why did you think you needed to say it? It's a GUI that works over SSH. There is a very valid use case for that.

> We can no longer design for ourselves, and we rely heavily on community feedback to co-design the right experience. We cannot build the right things without that feedback. How ca…

There's a reason for people to hate it... it's a tool used for something similar to genocide, only instead of killing the individuals (like they did in the past) it is used to redu…

> Just relax and use the strengths of both patterns. That's exactly what he says in the conclusion...

> In contrast to this, most of my paper notes (and I've gone back to paper) end up being lost, and those that aren't lost are horribly disorganized. Conversely, I've had lots of PD…

HN is so anti-Apple it's not funny. I've noticed if an argument makes Apple better, no matter how reasonable you are, you tend to get downvotes. Anyway, I agree with you. (There ar…

And? He also didn't say the camera on iPhones stays off when you're not using them. That must mean they're taking pictures of us and uploading them to Tim Cook's personal sex grott…

As an aside, it's funny that both articles use the same stock image.

Granted, it's anecdotal, but I've personally seen university graduates that seemingly aren't capable of reading basic instructions or submitting a useful CV. Conversely, I've seen …

Ok... So, why would Apple receive the benefit of only exposing iMessage data in secret courts when Google, Facebook, and Microsoft all have to do it in open court documents?

I grew up saying it in Oklahoma. My wife (from Virginia) would always say, "It's BY accident, ON purpose." So just to mess with her I started saying, "ON accident, BY purpose", whi…

https://www.reddit.com/gold I've paid for it, personally, and I know others who do. Yes, the ads are probably a larger portion of their income right now, but there's certainly an e…

I 99% agree. The 1% is for sites that advertise other things on the same site, which means they aren't using an ad service, but instead building their own advertising. The BBC is p…

I still think of the scene in Zoolander where he takes the flip phone out of his pocket and it is about as big around as thumb. It was comedic at the time because manufacturers wer…

Do Android TV, Fire TV, etc., have a multi-axis, touch remote with Siri (or any spoken) interface built in, and also include an SDK for building apps (including full-blown games) t…

Not totally... They only say you'll see 'fewer' ads. I'm in a similar boat... I'd like to set my monthly amount and that amount be split up among my most used sites, because I do w…

> highlight/selection colour You can have your horrible purple/blue... I'll take people hijacking those abominations any day of the week. Otherwise, that's a good list. :)

"Just like the iphone." If it was 'just like' the iPhone, you wouldn't have to explain the physical mechanism.

Heh, apologies for being reactionary in my comment. Seems like we're on the same page then. :)

Actually, Austin has the per-bag fee as well. Source: I'm in Austin. I don't remember if it's $.25 or $.99, but I can honestly say that I tend not to notice it when I forget my bag…

Given that we still haven't achieved the paperless offices that many want, sometimes I start feeling like not much has changed over the last couple decades, but this album really i…
