Your AI agent can't access your Gmail, your GitHub, or your Notion. Most of these services already have CLIs built for programmatic access, but nobody's set them up, authenticated …

With coding (it's not really coding per se that matters imo it's more like dynamic logic writ large) it's a land grab strategy. They want to get established as the de facto standar…

This post is really bringing me back! I knew talk of BeOS would stir up all us old heads. I think what we're all really nostalgic for is the days of tinkering with computers. When …

Not every startup can afford to burn cash for growth. Some apps have a high enough LTV - the total amount they earn on average per user - that they can justify paid ads, influencer…

i've found the vision capabilities are very bad with spatial awareness/reasoning. They seem to know that certain things are in the image, but not where they are relative to each ot…

If one were actually going to use something like this, I’d think it’d be worth implementing a little shebang script that can wrap a single-file script in the necessary boilerplate …

I'm fascinated by APL but man is it hard to get used to. I keep waiting for someone to build something like APL but sufficiently modernized as to actually be useful to me :)

This is awesome. While I agree with @oehpr on some of the details, I love the idea of marketing it specifically for the purpose of running events. Using Zoom for that seems klugey.…

While I agree Medium is going through some growing pains trying to figure out a business model, I'm a bit surprised _nobody_ on this forum is coming to their defense. I personally …

Nailed it, at least for the video I watched. Rahimi's NIPS Test of Time Award was swiftly condensed into a few minutes of magic, with all the other side-commentary swept away. Amaz…

That's really shocking, if he hasn't already done animal studies -- definitely hadn't realized that. Certainly didn't realize it was legal, even under Russian law, even on a near-d…

This seems simultaneously wonderful and horrifying -- how many deaths could be avoided if you could simply get a "body transplant" when things go south with your heart, liver, what…

This. Most devs I know have Macs for precisely this reason -- software, not hardware. If anything, many would prefer the hardware (diversity) offered elsewhere.

I like coding from a Mac, but running on a remote Linux box, as it's usually the deployment target. Recently I've been doing a lot of Unity, for which I _greatly_ prefer OS X (to W…

As a Gear VR dev I am extremely excited about this. This is a major step forward for GearVR as a platform and think it'll do a lot to promote openness among developers. Now if only…

> In respect to transparency, we need a set of global laws that protect the users of systems based in foreign countries. If Canada had strict privacy laws, I would hope that I woul…

For better or worse, in 2013, the government is also a privileged actor that can _prevent_ harmful things. One of the ideas of government is that we trust them to protect us. Thous…

I support PRISM but thing Snowden committed a crime, specifically unauthorized disclosure of classified information, which falls under the umbrella colloquially known as "treason."…

I'm a bit surprised that there are so few people who legitimately don't care at all. I actually don't care. I think it gives people a creepy, Orwellian-type feeling (because there …

Bradley Manning was a member of the Armed Forces who released classified information to the public. What planet are you living on that his prosecution is unwarranted?

See the comment below for example of a NYC terrorist plot foiled by PRISM. And by the way -- why would I be accused of a FEDERAL CRIME? I didn't do anything wrong. If anything, _th…

What exactly is "all this data" you're worried the government will see? What are you doing on Google and Facebook? I have this funny feeling the NSA doesn't care about your memes o…

"My brother got killed in a subway bombing, but at least the government can't read my facebook messages about porn and cat pictures..." REALLY? Could you say that with a straight f…

Hey, then why don't you stay the hell out of our country. Thanks, love and kisses, Jason

As an American living an America, I have to disagree with you. First of all, if you really didn't know the U.S. government and military had some creepy capabilities, you're not liv…
