    If anyone wonders how AI might end up undermining humanity, this is a small preview. We're gradually handing over more processes to automation (YOLO, right?) while the systems them…

    major possible risk, for tech savvy people: another walled garden, unless: - openai will open the memory interface (why would they?) - openai will allow other models (why would the…

    Looking forward for the 1Password extension to work properly. Installation works, but the integration doesn't yet. Nice lean UI though, thanks to Chromium oc

    Plus vscode is maintained by a company with thousands of devs. Obsidian is less than 10 people, which is amazing. About plugins why blame the product, pls check what you install on…

    totally agree, chasing ultrathin designs has diminishing returns. There's so many practical ways to extend battery life such as letting users selectively dial down performance, add…

    Based on what teardown are you concluding the logic boards take up that much? Based on what phone design history where removing cameras failed to free up meaningful space?

    It wouldn’t weigh 4lbs if Apple invested on that research. Who really cares about this much thin phones really, Apple is out of ideas, far from revolutionary anymore. They have the…

    Hate seeing how repos are so polluted by dot-files and dot-folders. I wish tools and SDKs converged into a single dot-folder, so that we could look at repos without seeing everythi…
