Can anyone explain how they support all 3 browsers' extensions?

$10k in tokens a day

What on earth is he building?

I have a friend who is a confessed LLM-addict and has told me pretty much everything you mentioned (you might be my friend!), I just have a question I want to ask that I never do to him: Why do you feel the need to churn out so many "personal projects" if they burn you out that much? I think we can all agree on the exhaustiveness of reviewing tons of AI-generated code in our $JOB$ - then why extend this unpleasant situation to your whole day?

My non-English-native-speaker head of development, to whom I report, does 100% of his work using LLMs and doesn't even check if the code compiles, but somehow this isn't my biggest problem with it – it's the botspeak in the PR comments (or answers to my PR comments) that are so clearly not written by him, and the documentation that makes absolutely 0 sense sometimes even if I break it down. Just a word salad of "robust", "maintainable", "smoke test" that amount to absolutely nothing. And the "You're absolutely right, I fixed it" responses (narrator: he didn't fix it).

I used to have a lot of fatigue due to it until I stopped caring.

There will _always_ be a pretty big gulf of capability between what you can do with a desk full of hardware at home vs a few racks of hardware in a datacenter

True, but this difference _should_ shrink with the hardware craze and we're able to buy memory (the biggest bottleneck at the moment) again, shouldn't it?

7 inches to the iPad mini's 8 inches

These numbers don't correspond to the screen size though

I think this is the most level-headed take I've read in a while, sums up perfectly the HN discourse on "AI taking our jobs", thanks!

I also used to use BetterTouch tool just for this feature, no idea what they have been thinking over at Apple with this delay.

I've always felt that his slop movies were just excuses to go film on some exotic island with his buddies, I'd have done the same :)

Don't they already have some subscription to get rid of ads?

This movie hit harder than my highest expectations from an Adam Sandler movie.

Sometimes it feels like all digital technology is simply an enterprise to replace human to human contact.

Hasn't it always been the case that technology reduces the contact with other people? Now with cars we don't need to sit next to others on trains, we don't need to ask pedestrians for directions thanks to GPS etc.

You're not getting it out of my head that they just used what would be the Apple Car design.

Their prices are currently so unreachable because of the big players hoarding every chip they can get their hands on, but if/when the market realizes that locally deployed LLMs are the way to go, maybe (hopefully?) then more chips will be available to the consumers for lower prices.

It's hard to imagine quickly centering onto a headshot pixel (or group of maybe 12 pixels) with a trackpad

These days it's hard to imagine me doing it with a mouse even :) The gyro takes some getting used to but it can indeed be really precise

Does the release of the controller mean that valve solved the issues with the supply chain of their announced products? I know that the main problem is the rising prices of memory chips, but I would hope this leads to an announcement about the Steam Machine and (I'm still hoping...) HLX/HL3

I've always been a M+KB player and especially for FPS games I've always found it impossible to aim with the sticks, so the trackpads really helped in this regard. Especially for older games that may not natively support joysticks it was a game changer (I recently played Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay)

Except in this Mint i've never tried

Well, Cinammon is the windows manager for Mint, it's the barebones experience that's the closest to Windows (?) style, it's mostly what you see is what you get, but still very customizable.

KDE used to be extremely buggy 5-6 years ago and since testing it on my Steam Deck, from my experience, this is no longer the case. It's a bit more feature-rich and flashier than Cinnamon.

Can I run KDE on a box that idles at 10 W and never turns the fan audibly on?

No laptop I'm aware of will do this, no idea about ARM adoption.

Personally I'm glad to have a windows manager that doesn't force dumb decisions down my throat. On MacOS I have to wait for half a second for the focus to land on the next window when I switch desktops, the only workaround exists as a minor feature recently introduced to BetterSwitchTool called instant desktop switching or something. And it's to be mentioned ofcourse that for all similar fixes you _must_ give full screen recording and accessibility permissions to 3rd party software. And don't get me started on the stupid windows management (maximize != full-screen, minimized windows not recoverable with keyboard only etc)

The problem that fucks us over is that Mac OS only has to be better than the competition.

I'm with you here, but I'm having a _much_ better time on my Linux machines (KDE and Cinnamon Mint) than on my (unbelievably-powerful-but-for-what) M4 Max MBP. It's so much cleaner, even without having upgraded to Tahoe, and imagine that I don't even like tinkering that much, it just works.

Backseat industrial designing through legislation is not the answer.

But it _could_ save us from Lenovo or Dell or any other company copying Apple's design practices (and the latter largely already has), while, as another poster mentioned, not mandating design per se, but rather just setting minimum standards.

Drawings then?

What market? I thought the whole point was that Sora at the end of the day couldn't find a way to generate revenue

Are these the Memojis or whatever Apple calls them these days? Pretty much eveyry iOS update mentions them near the top of the list and I still have no idea where to find / create / care about them...

1.0 should be attributed to pornography _before_ online distribution, and I suspect that was pretty profitable

Have mostly had the same complaints with MacOS since the beginning. Also something I'd like to see mentioned is the refusal to add a tiny X on the corners of windows in the Mission Control view, and the only workaround I've found is some 8$ app on AppStore.

Still can't believe how much better it felt to log in to KDE (admittedly not my favorite) on my Steam Deck when I had to configure something and got to use the file manager. It just let me... do stuff that MacOS wants to hide from me. Cmd-shift-. to show hidden files, seriously? Cmd-shift-G to go to a path?!

I've been using MacOS exclusively for 5 years now and had forgotten how much I like working on linux - I definitely haven't forgotten how much I dislike Windows though...

seeing people be abusive when an LLM doesn't follow instructions or fails to fulfill some expectation. I think I had some pent up feelings about that.

Oh me too, because people are anthropomorphizing the LLM, not because they hurt it. Indirectly, though, I agree that this behaviour can easily affect the way this person would speak to other humans

Lack of capitalization pushes towards text messages and irc perhaps.

Might very well be the case, I wonder if there's some actual research on this by people that have some access to the the internals of these black boxes.

I neither talked about feeding bullshit into it, nor treating it like shit. Around half of the commenters here seem to be missing the middle ground, how is prompting "i need my project to do A, B, C using X Y Z" treating it like shit?

I confidently assume that the model has been trained on an ungodly amount of abbreviated text and "yy" has always meant "yeah".

literate adults who can type reasonably well

For me the difference is around 20 wpm in writing speed if just write out my stream of thoughts vs when I care about typos and capitalizing words - I find real value in this.
