    iOS apps at google are developed via ciderv that had a connection to your local mac, and it's amazing. All code editing is "online" and builds are cached, but simulator runs on you…

    I feel like core dev team learned a lot about actually enabling a web based ide for line 100k engineers across the globe for a gazillion line mono repo. ciderv is really just a ski…

    I can't switch jobs rn, but this is absolutely fascinating

    FaceID, AirPods, Apple Silicon, Vision Pro (though it was flop was a good try). Overall, I would actually place Tim above Steve in terms of business, although maybe not from a Huma…

    oh the horror stories I've heard from friends at Apple. Don't think I've heard anyone who writes tests at Apple

    I still fondly remember playing cyberpunk 2077 on release date with no download time. What the future could have been . Probably would have become economically infeasible regardles…

    It's fascinating and lucky how well Korean fits into a keyboard designed for English. Japanese and Chinese are notoriously inefficient to type.

    It's so weird. I actually prefer the web version for generic questions like "how would I do X in git" or something, and it'll answer it well. Gemini CLI will immediately try to run…

    But the thing is your local gov & economic policies (tax codes, bonds, projects, trade) matter to your actual daily life and retirement far more than left v right. They just play t…

    Are LLMs not already compilers? They translate human natural language to code pretty well now. But yeah, they probably don't fit the bill of English based code to machine code

    Agreed on both of these. Proton search is so dogshit. Re: the custom domain catch all reply, this is a bit annoying but there js a workaround. I made a SendGrid account which allow…

    That's probably where things are headed and there are already products trying this (even photoshop already). Just like how code gen AI tools don't replace the entire file on every …

    Yup, I feel like the biggest limitation with current AI is that they don't have desire (nor actual agency to act upon it). They don't have to worry about hunger, death, feelings, a…

    I know this is only a single data point, but I recently took one in Hollywood. Uber Lyft quoted $33 and Waymo was $20

    Do they need a "map" of a parking tower though, just like how humans don't exactly need Google Maps inside of one? I feel like this is something self driving + vision (exit signs a…

    I don't touch JFK with 10mi pole. I've always found EWR to be much more consistent and easier to get to

    SAME. It kills me inside when people wrap things like fruits and potatoes in plastic that have natural peel they'll remove before eating anyways

    You're really trying to convince me people care about kids but we've been having school shooting for 30 years? And that the length or frequency of events makes them okay, or not wo…
