i’m not an anti-AI believer. And our career is changing dramatically no doubt. i just think people overestimate short term gains and underestimate long term gains. (applicable to y…

just the other week I asked Fable 5 to diagnose the cause of some intermittent latency spikes on an API that queries an OpenSearch cluster at work. I encouraged it to look at the d…

is there an alternative to codex that “just works”? by just works i mean i can install as an app in 1 minute, and i get web search, skills, mcp servers, etc? Bonus points if it can…

i have not tried it since i’m too scared to try, but i know Codex recently came out with a feature where it can control your chrome browser. Not spin up a chrome browser, but contr…

apparently a tight knick family with open / great communication does not exist, and they must be abusive if they like to know where their kids are. LOL. Yes horrible families exist…

> I would think that the useful notification would be “Erica didn’t make it to school safely”. That’s an excellent point actually. 100%. I don’t think FindMy can support something …

well it’s a device that can be smart in some crucial ways, without being distracting like a smartphone is. That’s what i mean. no social media or other cancer for a teenage brain. …

and i totally respect that point of view. but do realize that every family is different for better or worse, and has a different “culture”. I’m not prescribing how others should ru…

you’re correct - that’s the purpose of the Find My app. And this app can send useful notifications.

nitpick: the “where is erica?” is a catchy title for the feature being showcased - which is actually a notification that your child made it to school safely. Look at the screenshot…

feeling sorry for single children is just weird, not going to lie. I was a single child. Yes i had many boring days as a toddler. I’m not a sad adult because of that, i’m happily m…

What type of silly response is that? And I could say the U.S. takes over countries like cuba and turns off their power. We’re definitely the good guys LOL. Look, I live in the U.S.…

what you say about your desires makes perfect sense. I too would enjoy that kind of world. But how do you envision that playing out in reality? Would you just nicely walk up to the…

the bigger issue is context windows. HUGE difference there.

sort of correct. As one ages the body starts doing a poor job of signaling thirst. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003086.htm > As people age, they are less likely to notice t…

> you are merely remixing whats out there So basically 90% of programming in an enterprise environment? lol. Sounds useful to me...

refunded to whom? the businesses? great! where’s my refund as a consumer who paid those higher costs (passed along to me)?

nice to hear an opinion from a primary source! One thing confused me though - you felt like the on-device processing is likely a gimmick. I naively assumed this is a big deal becau…

your argument assumes that “fully integrated and in-my-face” == best form factor. Maybe for certain tasks or certain people. But in general i disagree with that take. The fact that…

what about web apps that requires oauth login - for normal users? For example, is a typical Google Drive user expected to install an official google drive CLI and a skill md file j…

obviously it is marketing - it’s why cigarettes became popular in the first place. They had a “cool” factor. And most people are sheep so…makes sense?

another take: some people are emotionally “dumb” and have a really hard time feeling empathy for others. This is just another way to force the bully to be in someone else’s shoes…l…

i feel like i saw the same thing! was is this (AsianDadEnergy channel)? https://youtu.be/VeMA9WGKxOg?si=hV1F84P_-U6k9oJi

there’s different types of sprinklers which can be used in different settings. :) And actually i misspoke on the 40C! I mixed up that number with something else so that’s my bad. I…

both. the map has many detailed settings which you might change once in a while. there are also certain things you’d want to change (or activate) often - we could argue those are c…
