“Steve Jobs was wrong: we do not need to carve the unseen feet in the sculpture. Nobody cares if the logic board traces are pleasingly routed.” It doesn’t matter. We should still be holding ourselves to high standards and be building excellence… “Steve Jobs was wrong” INTERNET FIGHT INCOMING

i worked (twice) for a company that made products which could've eventually, theoretically, evolved into something like this, and the main difference between that now-defunct company and anduril/meta is that the latter have exponentially more money to set on fire learning why it doesn't work

I tried playing the Fortnite relaunch for iOS, and it made my iPhone 15 Pro almost burn my hand from how hot my phone got. Felt like I was resting my fingers on a stove. Definitely a game that should be played on a computer with a decent cooling system and not a phone.

Three swing state voters are suing Elon Musk, claiming he stiffed them on promised payments. The MAGA crowd is turning on itself nothing like buying votes and forgetting to pay up. Most of them still feel entitled to their million dollars.

This is literally an iOS ripoff. Google has really stopped competing on features, and instead is competing on making a cheaper iPhone. Man I wish Cyanogen the company was still around...

It's giving Holodeck addiction. I've seen a few lives destroyed by AI addiction since ChatGPT's release. We're going to learn some lessons the hard way. As a society I hope we respond with empathy and care. People are like plants, if they are not thriving, its likely due to underlying deprivation.

This is 1000% on Mozilla for failing to diversify its funding sources. Heck, depending on your rival for funding is, in fact, an anticompetitive business move itself. As long as Mozilla depends on Google’s funding that much, it’s basically another Google browser. That’s not competition!

Us developers have learned the hard way that: 1. Prototyping is more like 10% of the actual work - even though the business folks thinks we're 90% done 2. Shipping prototypes to production is possible but generally a bad idea Vibe coding is prototyping. Others will learn - soon

I've been poking around in the ATProtocol docs and I still have a hard time understanding what a Lexicon actually is. Is it just a JSON file that contains a schema? Can it generate arbitrary objects and functions in code then execute it? What is it exactly?

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

Before: To make code easy to maintain for devs who will alter touch it: either write code that is extremely clear to read and self-explanatory - or use descriptive comments. Now: Same advice could well apply... to make it easier for LLMs to work with a codease.
