    Pretty much. I have an Apple Watch, my wife has a Garmin. I’m jealous of the advanced metrics and data she has on all of our workouts and the accuracy. And that battery life. She’s…

    Not even going to bother replying to the original poster, but thanks for recognizing. Just have never seen anyone on HN misconstrue feedback so badly. Doesn't bode well for their a…

    Oh, good catch. Absolutely no chance those are legit and definitely dubious at best, illegal at worst (depending on the region)

    Congrats on getting to this place. Wishing you success in the long run. But, if I can be honest for a second, there are some pretty rough spots here. First, we're all (or, almost a…

    That is such a refreshingly fair and honest assessment. Thanks for sharing! To me, that engenders a lot of trust in what you’ve built.

    Some real "You wouldn't download a car" vibes at points in this thread.

    Is there a way to assign certain domains to always open in a certain container? e.g., if I type the url of my bank that it immediately becomes a banking container? That would be gr…

    I’m intrigued by the power of these models to help me take more control of my healthcare. Sure, doctors’ advice is best, but sometimes I wait 6 months to get to see a specialist wh…

    There's a lot to unpack here, but a few thoughts. SpaceX wasn't added to the Nasdaq until two days ago, which is right around the time the stock was reaching it's current lows. Doe…

    Weird, right? Especially on a website with an owner who so ardently supports free speech.

    It's a fair callout, but for me (and increased propensity for Alzheimer's) the calculus is a bit different. Making to to my mid-70s with full mental faculties would easily be worth…

    I'm in my 40s with genetic predisposition for Alzheimer's. Been seriously considering the past year or two paying out of pocket for Shingrix. I think it would be ~$500 total for tw…

    Same. I really am curious if either 1) I am using it in genuinely different ways or 2) these people are being willfully disingenuous.

    Neat project and I love the motivations behind it. A few friendly recommendations: • The images on the results pages are in desperate need of optimization. Plenty of 500KB+ thumbna…

    Personal prediction: I do think the market will essentially force their hand to include it in subscriptions before too long. OpenAI, local models, Chinese models will continue to i…

    I love stuff like this. Even though I don’t have a machine capable with running OS 9 natively, I’m glad this exists. Looks awesome!

    Thanks, yeah that's past my personal limit for a very niche project. I like the concept, though.

    I was looking around but either I missed it or it’s not spelled out. Do you recall a ballpark cost for the components? I didn't feel like individually pricing out the many componen…

    You and me both, but I also recognize others disagree so ultimately, we'll see what the market decides. Apple's annual gross profit was $195B last year against an R&D budget of aro…

    They have some for sure for iCloud. Do they have enough to handle this volume of compute AND is Gemini allowed to be run on those? That was more what I was questioning/curious abou…

    Yeah. It's clear they've been hearing the complaints. Not just Liquid Glass, but they even talked about the inconsistent menu bar icons and problems with rounded corner radii (amon…

    I agree it's a funny look, but my guess is that it comes down to the cross-border data transfers and non-EEA tech providers. So even if Apple has private cloud compute and is using…
