It seems to be similar to what Yan Lecunn argues also. I wonder what does Sam Altman, Ilya sutskever and other major LLM creators mean when they say they aim to create AGI. Do they acknowledge that the current architecture isn't sufficient as well, or do they think scaling will be enough? Or do they not say at all?

They should probably cross-post in both.

This seems paywalled, but there's a blog post from Microsoft: https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2025/09/09/flexible-work-up...

>With that in mind, we’re updating our flexible work expectations to three days a week in the office.

Why are you comparing Anduril against Russia's drones? Shouldn't you use Ukraine, surely it has access to higher tech than Russia and is just as battletested?

Or does Russia use Chinese tech?

It works indeed, but the performance drop is quite drastic.

I was thinking the same thing until I learned about the high speed train plans California had (and still have?) and just how much of a disaster it is. It’s a red tape issue and nobody at the policy level seems to care to fix it.

It doesn’t even matter, does it. It seems the democrats made a plan spanning multiple elections due to it being loaded with regulations and now Starlink can better serve rural areas at a fraction of the cost (for american taxpayers). Also the planned deployment was 2026 at the earliest?

That's true, but even in Visual Studio, Hot Reload breaks too often to be comfortable. It seems the intermediate .g.cs handling is a bit error prone.

Perhaps this will end up being a non-problem if all the cars are owned by car sharing (taxis) operators.

It seems quite obvious as surely the amount of C++, C, etc. is less, in the public domain, than the millions of lines of JS, C#, Java, Python & others that are available on github, gitlab & others.

So for those users, you might still be finding LLMs lacking. It's also understandable that you might get more errors when generating C++ than say C#, since it's harder to use.

It reminds me that I recently changed companies in part because at my previous job, I didn't have as many opportunities to work with LLMs (doing the things they are good at) as my current one.

The changes are pretty tame and most Western users who dislike the current web features built in the shell can safely feel like they're not missing much on anything.

Reminds me of firewalls with a huge backlist, but they don't block known VPNs.

This is nitpicking but Windows 10, while annoyingly buggy during development (they dropped their QA for windows insiders during that period), was a return back to sanity after Windows 8's UI.

The timers' typography is absurd. Material Design was already too space-inefficient to my taste, but this one overdoes its predecessor. The worst of it all is that this is clearly a mobile design system and yet desktops, laptops & ipads must suffer for it since the styles don't adjust much to the amount of space you have on screen.

Limiting? The damage is already done.

Indeed, Copilot within Visual Studio is nowhere close as good as Copilot within VSCode, and even that is still worse than Cursor in my experience.

They switched to hardware acceleration in the last few years and they removed the toggle to disable it. It still sucks (perf & rendering issues, eg. scrollbar not updating when scrolling) and there's no way to go back to the old rendering engine unless you disable hardware acceleration on Windows as a whole. Lmao.

APFS? That still happened.

I was about to make that argument. Functioning but almost to the brink of death. They are overburdened, and the new staff coming from immigrants isn’t as good. It is a huge concern nowadays.

Looking at PowerToys, they would probably turn it into a WinUI slug. I wonder what hardware the WinUi devs run it on.

It does seem like there are more well made, premium apps on Mac. I’ve always been jealous. Eventually a clone is made that supports Windows, but it always seems a bit worse.

They offer a lifetime pricing tier, which will obviously removed in a few years if the company still exists. I wonder why a SaaS would even bother.

Would this even survive the coming change of administration? Why attempt this now?

It’s the first time I’ve seen the number of employees as a concern, the focus is actually the size of the budget and its deficit.

Google search is about to be made irrelevant by AI, and yes I believe it is a stretch to compare Google's search "monopoly" to Microsoft's browser monopoly of yore.

Fine, I thought the context was obviously Google's search engine monopoly.

> ruled that the tech giant has illegally maintained a monopoly through the billions of dollars in annual payments it makes to partners to secure the default search engine position on popular web browsers and mobile phones

It's still a stretch by the judge, and this article is a good hint that the ruling may be weak: https://itif.org/publications/2024/08/23/six-weak-spots-judg...

> ruled that the tech giant has illegally maintained a monopoly through the billions of dollars in annual payments it makes to partners

Wow. Are they serious? that’s illegal?

Government contracts are a snake pit. It's the first thing that disillusioned completely from government efficiency. It has an insane degree of collusion and overbilling.

Oh this is interesting. Tia Portal v19 has this clunky capability in which you can export, edit, reimport all scripts of a project via a vscode extension that communicates with the Tia Portal process. All that effort just to have better autocompletion, but the export/import loop feels inefficient & some scripts just can’t be exported.
