I've begun to find the writing style nauseating regardless of use, but yes, at least it isn't used to pad length.

Could they not gate this behind a notification on install?

I’ve grown to appreciate this aspect of standard examination as I’ve gotten older. Everyone wants to say “oh, you can just look it up now”, but how can you come up with higher level thinking, when you don’t have the fundamentals in your mind?

90% of my usage of it is because it actually displays the map on my Watch, whereas Google Maps & Citymapper only show directions.

If it weren't for that, I'd use Citymapper for practically everything.

God, I miss Android so much. iOS still annoys me. The app situation is sadly better on iOS, though.

I’m surprised they’ve said it so confidently given how it completely collapsed last time…

Man, I cannot imagine how nice it must to be to work with leadership like this, who just gets it.

AI is also based on how we write. Some people are bound to write in a similar vein to LLMs naturally. See this person’s blog about it [0].

He also had blogs about those maps: https://www.johnsto.co.uk/design/

I mean Cash App is simply a workaround for the US Banking systems lack of a unified transfer system.

Ditto. I've found it pretty tolerable once I've used "ShutUp10!" to disable the annoying stuff. I've used harder tools than it, but I've then found it breaks useful stuff (like the Xbox Gaming stuff, which some MSFT games use).

Haiku 4.5 is a reasoning model. [0]

Claude Haiku 4.5, a new hybrid reasoning large language model from Anthropic in our small, fast model class.

As with each model released by Anthropic beginning with Claude Sonnet 3.7, Claude Haiku 4.5 is a hybrid reasoning model. This means that by default the model will answer a query rapidly, but users have the option to toggle on “extended thinking mode”, where the model will spend more time considering its response before it answers. Note that our previous model in the Haiku small-model class, Claude Haiku 3.5, did not have an extended thinking mode.

Yeah it’s become a mini-meme amongst the AI folk on Bluesky [0]

Yes look at this article showing all of the wonderful anti-social behaviour prevented by smart glasses: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx23ke7rm7go

(hint: smart glasses encourage anti social behaviour for online clout.)

This is it - you’ve got to be deliberate in scrolling immediately past anything remotely thirst-trappy, otherwise the algorithm hyperfixates. And then overstay your welcome at the type of content you want to see.

In my experience, it has worked (my discover page is an amalgamation of classic Simpsons, Dropout.tv, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?, while my Reels feed is unhinged in the right way.) But also I’ve stopped using it because my brain was melting.

Oh, Coristine was hired into the government by Elon as a part of DOGE.

Haha yeah if I scroll on my iPhone 15 Pro it literally doesn’t load until I stop.

Daniel is a smart man. He's been frustrated by slop, but he has equally accepted [0] AI-derived bug submissions from people who know what they are doing.

I would imagine Anthropic are the latter type of individual.

Aha [0], that is neat.

As someone who has used Anki for a decade, a thank you to dae for everything. Best of luck in your future endeavours.

With that out of the way, some thoughts:

- Anki is in a really good position to work around enshitification. The app, at least to me, is "complete" - the only additional features that might pique my curiosity is a different scheduler (at the moment, they're integrating a newer one, although I don't follow enough to know the state of it). Additionally, modern Anki is really well architected: the core of it is a Rust library, that is used by all of the platforms [0]. You can write new front ends using that, or just fork the existing FOSS ones. Maybe dae does a gorhill and gives us Anki Origin.

- Really the only service-y part of Anki I use is AnkiWeb, which is basically a backup and sync system. Wonder how that'll evolve (if they do end up charging for it, I hope it is "Obsidian" reasonable). EDIT: Ooo, Anki has public server software for running your own version. Awesome! [1]

- The idea outcome in my opinion would have been some form of charitable organisation (Linux Foundation?), with people donating to support Anki.

- So, AnkiHub is a company that produces Anki flashcards, and they've scaled that quickly? Jeez. Obviously Quizlet proved there was a market for flashcards, but I didn't realise this was possible for Anki.

- No outside investment is... hopeful. Not quite sure what indicates that this company has the technical know-how to maintain it.

- I've heard too many stories of a maintainer or creative being "hopeful" about their new acquirers, only to regret it years down the line.

make a core lib with all the nuts and bolts which devs build clients around

That is modern Anki. The core is a Rust library, which all the clients (desktop, web, Android and iOS) use. [0]

So, somehow, Twitter will end up being (partially) public again!

What are we doing here

Wait, when the fuck did the Android app I used to play on-device videos with become a streaming app, that then got acquired by Amazon?!

(I know the literal answer is on Wikipedia, but I’m flabbergasted.)

Disagree, that trust relationship implicitly includes a "I can opt out of you seeing my status if I set my status to offline" contract, because that is my expectation of Steam.

I was caught off guard by how brutal this article was at points. I don't really follow Scott Alexander much, so I was pleasantly surprised by it. While I don't have the same relationship with Scott Adams... I can see parts of this in my relationship with Kanye.

The Holden Spark appears to just be a re-badge of a Chevrolet Spark, which was made by their South Korean subsidiary, and was discontinued three years ago [0].

Did you even read his comment?

The vast majority are against the regime, just like me, although many aren't aware of how dangerous Trump is, or the things he's done in the US. To me, Trump isn't so different from Chávez: he insults those who disagree with him, he doesn't respect institutions, he installs his people in positions of power, and he only cares about loyalty. That's why I'm in a very complicated position, because on the one hand, I want this dictatorship to finally end; on the other hand, I don't like Trump. He's quite capable of trying to establish his own dictatorship in his country. He's not doing this just to liberate us; he's doing it because he has his own interests.

What Trump and Marco Rubio has said about the situation is worrying, because they make very obvious that their priority it's the oil and democracy seems more like an afterthought.

Thanks for this comment. Your perspective is something I’m seeking in this mess.
