I get what you’re saying but in my 15 year career the ONLY time I was allowed to meaningfully work on accessibility was when visa hired me to remediate visa checkout. And that was literally because a tier 1 bank was going to drop their contract over it.

The ROI Apple will get is when all of us turn 70 and need these features we’re ignoring now

> “When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don’t consider the bloody ROI.”

I just have to call out how much this impacted my mom’s life. She’s 100% blind and has access because of her iPhone and iPad. Yes she learned JAWSs and literally took classes to do it. Every single windows update has made it so she’d have to retake this class. The iOS updates a rocky but she isn’t literally hamstrung.

My dad, damn near 80, is still happily using his 2012 i7 Mac mini I set him up with before moving away.

Anyway, excited for the future of Apple under Ternus and a hardware guy at the helm. What kind of a11y does robotics have? https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/elegnt-expressive...

It’s funny, a few months ago I would have been pretty excited about this. But I honestly don’t really care because I can’t trust Anthropic to not play games with this over the next month post release.

I just flat out don’t trust them. They’ve shown more than enough that they change things without telling users.

> By comparison Anthropic have been very focused.

Ah yes, very focused on crapping out every possible thing they can copy and half bake?

How is this cloudflares problem? This is on LaLiga.

Woah, childs play money for the amount of pain, lock in, and money they’ve cost farmers.

I didn’t comment on this when I saw it on threads/twitter. But it made it to HN, surprisingly.

I have a feeling these same people will complain “my model is so dumb!”. There’s a reason why Claude had that “you’re absolutely right!” for a while. Or codex’s “you’re right to push on this”.

We’re basically just gaslighting GPUs. That wall of text is kinda needed right now.

I believe the capacity about 30%. They did just spend the entire last month of feature releases in Clade Code replacing "claw" features.

So, to me its a "we built it into our world use ours"

Edit: FWIW I am an avid hater of all claw things, they're security nightmare.

Hm, you might want to catch up on the Wordpress “open source” drama with WP.com vs .org, WP engine and Matt.

This, to me, reads like the CEOs that are catching up to months ago.

I was subbed to claude for CC since July/aug (can’t remember when I stopped paying the API pricing).

I canceled 3 weeks ago. Since then everything with the usage limits being slashed before being announced, their cache bug that eats limits (and won’t reset), and just rolling paper cuts with every single release I feel pretty good.

I personally think Anthropic is lost and are chucking products out left and right. They might vibe their moment away

Edit: their last month of releases for CC are heavily favored towards building openclaw into their ecosystem

Is there any kind of “hook up” on wholesale large dumb displays?

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but I just want a giant dumb display from my Apple TV. I vaguely remember someone posting a link to tvs restaurants use but I don’t remember exactly what or if it was what I’m looking for.

(Sorry, being lazy here)

We’re in a personal software era. Or disposable software era however you want to look at it. I think most people are building for themselves and no longer needing to lean on community to get a lot of things done now.

Self plug, but basically that’s the TL;DR https://robertdelu.ca/2026/02/02/personal-software-era/

It is annoying. But I bet they’re effectively being DDoS’d every day by AI agents now. I think the past year of that growth has destroyed any of their spare resources. It’s not really a scale problem I’d like to work on, tbh. Seems very hard.

Plus, the azure migration.

You’re right it completely doesn’t matter they’ve been instrumental to ICE and the war in Iran. It’s fine now, their previous actions are excused.

Edit: the word you’re also looking for is “working” not “worked”. I have many friends on government contracts still using Claude.

Did you read the article? Or are you just replying?

Anthropic has literally been working with the DoD and Plantair for 2 years now. They were key to the Iran invasion.

If thats “looking better”, keep it.

You’re right, Anthropic is quite a bit worse https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/04/anthrop...

> mass kill people

Has it occurred to anyone that Anthropic highest in the industry API pricing is a play to drive you into their subscription? For the lock-in?

I love this argument because people grab Anthropic’s API pricing, stop there, and present it at face value.

Only Anthropic knows their inference costs. And do we _really_ think they’re losing money? Hahaha

Does it really need a VPS? Can’t throw it onto a cloudflare page for free?

Local LLMs and compiling rust are the only two things that I have seen saturate my M4 Max, hahaha.

Just did :p

Oh that made it seem like I was the driving factor. Maybe for the first one (Percy.io) I can claim a large part of that success (owning the SDKs and support end to end).

The other I just owned the front end infra and was on the growth team. The rest of the folks were the stars on that one.

Edit: I guess I brought that up because I guess I don't know any more "real work" that that, ha. What is 'real work'?

It legit got me. An actual "whaaaaaatttt?" out loud and then I had to figure out why it was the top of HN haha.

Heh, I also upgraded to run local LLMs. As a tiny aside, codex does not burn resources like CC does.

Ah sorry minutes, they bill the most for macOS probably because of what a pain it is to scale it with apples EULA (I'm guessing) https://docs.github.com/en/billing/reference/actions-runner-...

It works out pretty okay for me, I do it since GH runners are very expensive and I have my own hardware so why not. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/runners/self-hos...

I setup a self hosted runner and then use that in my CI workflows. Then I disabled it from sleeping so it can clamshell forever and now it sits here in my living room silently workin' https://imgur.com/a/EaBICdo

Oh my. All I have to say is cherish the first week of your M* experience. :D When I got rid of my intel MBP (it was an i7) for my MBA it was astonishing how fast and smooth it was.

So, the m5 with 48gb of ram will be amazing.

Yeah! My M1 air is now my iOS build server since GH actions bill macOS mins at 10x the price.

I’ve been tempted to buy one and do “real dev work” on it just to show people it’s not this handicapped little machine.

I built multiple iOS apps and went through two start up acquisitions with my M1 MBA as my primary computer, as a developer. And the neo is better than the M1 MBA. I edited my 30-45 min long 4k race videos in FCP on that air just fine.
