    > And then there’s the travesty that is Tahoe. Liquid Glass has no place on the desktop (or the phone really). I migrated to Mac OS X from OpenBSD in like 2002 or so. MacOS has bee…

    It would be dull to write about all the great new building materials our houses are made and the utter lack of futuristic convenience we actually have.

    I love the concept, it would be great to see broader uptake of an open standard for this sort of space.

    Didn’t they just raise $85B “for AI”?

    But what’s the crime? The thing got out of its poorly secured cage and caused what damage? Imagine instead of an agent it was a dog or a chimpanzee that got into the neighbor’s yar…

    But what do you honestly expect would happen? It’s “an accident” with no actual damages.

    Being a poorly equipped victim still isn’t a crime thankfully. It may or may not be a crime and typically the damaged party is pressing the charges. One would argue there is no act…

    My hunch is they are all seeing the problems at OpenAI and some other collateral damage on the horizon. They don’t want the US government intervening to try to save OpenAI. A littl…

    The VAST thing speaks to me. I am capable of deep focus work but often am subject to constant interruption and multiple concurrent urgent demands. During a work week I get a lot do…

    It’s theft because a lot of rich people have money on the line.

    I can’t help but feel all warm and fuzzy with my head in the sand and getting a shout out in TFA for calling it marketing. We don’t currently and probably won’t ever fully understa…

    /ot Hamburger menu at the bottom right is pretty nice too. Haven’t seen it there before but seems like a very user friendly choice for its placement.

    I would attribute it to profit motive instead of either stupidity or malice.

    This is marketing+. They will look for policy action here to try to capture tax payer dollars.

    I don’t understand what is the primary innovation over other frameworks. In passing it looks like Express 10 years ago but maybe with some modernization and flexibility to leverage…

    I love the concept here. The site and preannounce feels a little gimmicky. It’s definitely of the time but kind of hard to commit to without more detail. Like $25 isn’t a lot of mo…

    I think the market is discounting some of the AI driven growth or maybe pricing in the likelihood of a correction. Look at some of the blow out earnings recently where the market s…

    I haven’t looked under the hood here but to make simple text replacement via command line is an LLM even required? A human driven command line tool to do basic substitution on batc…

    In these examples cost of the solution does not generally scale with the use of the solution in the same way we see token use. In the case of LLMs the cost of use scales very diffe…
