Another 13 mini user chiming in. I’m 6’3, and think it’s ridiculous how big phones are. It reminds me of the automobile and tv industry though, where you’re sort of forced into buying something obnoxious if you want to get the better features.

It feels like something anthropic or OpenAI would pounce on for marketing clout

Is the mechanism through which CarPlay/Android Auto works locked down? Could a third party make a competing app for iOS or android that would connect to cars and run on the screen? Or perhaps a special piece of hardware to hook in to older cars?

Michael Mann movies tend to get this right, Heat and collateral have really decent gun sounds. Turns out they are very loud.

Edit: just noticed you mentioned heat already, I need more coffee…

I’m currently punishing Fable by making it watch the entire series of 7th Heaven.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes

SQL in SQL has never occurred to me.

I’ve bought a bunch of movies on appletv, and I think about how angry this would make me, but I’ve never looked into a decent backup solution. I’m not sure if the drm has ever been broken really, but I’d imagine some device could pretend to be an hdmi tv. Anyone ever backup their atv stuff?

You're completely wrong here, they make sure the check clears.

It’s ridiculous get your money back

I’ve always wondered a bit about the ssr side of these things a bit. Something like time crisis where the main video is pre-rendered and streamed but the interactive elements (enemies, explosions) are superimposed in front on the client. Feels like you could make a very low bandwidth experience (around the same cost as a YouTube video plus some assets?).

It’s always interesting when people who excel at an activity express regrets about certain decisions. I find it reassuring that being great at something doesn’t mean flawless.

You probably don’t need the word science in the headline.

So… chips and cheese?

They want you to drink your rich chocolate email.

They just mean you catch incorrect joins more easily because there is usually no overlap in keys between unrelated tables. Using int, you’re usually going to have some shared values between two unrelated tables.

A lot of oltp databases have modeling conventions for making read only reporting tables. Do tabular dbs have an inverse for transaction heavy data, that later gets batched to a read optimized structure? I kind of think most databases (even oltp workloads) really are read dominated. I feel like DuckDB is really close to working as the ‘main db’ for such systems, but my lack of knowledge for how to handle quick mutations bothers me. It feels like some form of temporal data modeling would solve it but I don’t know.

I think I saw an apple A16 takes about 8 watts, which would be about a square foot of solar panel. So assuming we keep making progress it doesn’t seem insane to me that a laptop where the back of the lcd is a solar panel would be enough?

I always knew returning void was a bad idea

Structure in this context is probably ‘routine’, though how that plays into a male vs female role is anyone’s guess.

The one that really bugs me is the Apple TV. It would be a great little box to use for terminals/thin client style work and there are a ton of old cheap ones. Having a $50 dollar used box that was low power and could run OSX would be great.

If the USA walks away and lets every other country pay a new fee to Iran… That would be interesting…

risky, it feels like there is a chance you'll still need an extra .0 to cover something unexpected.

I guess I better send the pentagon a right to be forgotten request.

Whoa, I just remembered playing forsaken multiplayer at sleepover when I was a kid. Thanks for reminding me!

I’m sure it wouldn’t be profitable for them, but I feel like having some vendor sell a ‘reference machine’ that they know could run the core OS well would be a good in between. Someone like Framework selling a workstation looking desktop in a specific reference config couldn’t be too bad. Feels like just enough to get a community started. Most tasks really don’t need bleeding edge hardware anymore, the thing could go years without hardware changes.

Anyone know of any good articles around having claude code build playwright test suites for a given website and parameters?

It's good to see their response. I feel like between the issues with CNCF being talked about on the Oxide and friends podcast, and this recent Jepson report, nats tends to get a decent amount of negative coverage.

Which is a shame, since I do think it's a great tool.
