Linux kernel itself is AI development friendly.

> e.g., the (x) button on notifications do not display unless a mouse is hovering over the notification badge

Same applies to spaces where there's also delay applied before it appears for whatever reason. It would be nice if this fixed (on non-touch Macs as well).

Apple could do this by allowing you to run macOS on an iPad. Magic Keyboard is detachable and doubles as a cover/case. Without it, it's a tablet. With it, it's a laptop with reasonable compromises. SoCs in some iPads are the same as in some MacBooks. It's just software that's letting it down.
gloxkiqcza··on Europe EV sales rose 70.3% in September, 32.6% of market share
> A Tesla Model 3 weighs less than any new pickup truck for sale today.

I'm an EV fan but this is apples to oranges comparison. EV vehicles are substantially heavier than their ICE counterparts. Their instant torque also wears tread quicker. That's just facts and there's nothing wrong with that. The world is not black and white.

gloxkiqcza··on AI Has a Discovery Problem
I'm also convinced software engineering tools like git and markdown are currently the best way to use AI for most things even unrelated to software development. E.g., I think using markdown notes + LaTeX + git for writing contracts is more efficient than using Word + Copilot, which are the tools I would expect a lawyer to use.

I wouldn't/don't really feel comfortable uploading private pictures to any other cloud provider either :). I find OpenAI especially untrustworthy because of their known business practices, unestablished business model and unknown future capabilities and role in society. You cannot take that data back once they have it. The condescending tone was unasked for, apologies to OP for that.

I wouldn't feel comfortable uploading a picture of my child to OpenAI servers (for fun nonetheless), but you do you.

Here’s a build series of an ex-Apple/NASCAR/Tesla engineer turned YouTuber swapping Tesla Model 3 drivetrain to a 50s Jag.

gloxkiqcza··on Samsung chip workers will get an average $340k bonus as AI profits soar
In an ideal capitalistic world billionaires are people that provide most value to society, yes. In the real world it’s questionable to say the least because they usually do not do fair win-win business, they do cutthroat “I’m gonna abuse my position to the absolute limit, what are you gonna do about it, you have no other choice” business. People that don’t do that don’t end up billionaires because they can’t compete with those that do.
gloxkiqcza··on Meta's embrace of AI is making its employees miserable
> You might as well blame the entire US population for certain problematic actions of the president

You actively decide to work for Meta which has been known to dishonestly violate privacy since basically day one [1]. Most US citizens were passively born as one. It’s also much easier to leave a company than to move out of USA.

For context, his net worth is ~$220 billion.

Because there’s a hardware shortage going on. I can see why somebody who needs a new machine commits early.

It’s crazy to me YouTube is okay with hosting ads they get no cut from in the first place.
gloxkiqcza··on Rockstar Games Hacked, Hackers Threaten a Massive Data Leak If Not Paid Ransom
Many ransomware groups of today operate in the same way a legal tech startup would. It’s a large organization with clear goals, not just some guys fooling around. It’s a funny thought tho.

I would love that video.

Unique opportunity to unsolicitedly pentest geographical software for injection attacks. `NULL` Street anyone?
gloxkiqcza··on How to Survive in the Tech industry in 2026
> One major problem I see with the use of AI is that it will prevent people from building an understanding of <insert problem domain X here>.

I don’t really think this is a problem. AI is a tool, you still learn while using it. If you actually read, debug and maintain the produced code, which I consider a must for complex production systems, it’s not really that different compared to reading documentation and using Stack Overflow (i.e., coding the way it was done 10 years ago). It’s just much more efficient and it makes problems easier to miss. Standard practices of AI assisted development are slowly forming and I expect them to improve over time.

gloxkiqcza··on Apple discontinues the Mac Pro
You can do this on a Mac as well tho, right? So that 128 GB unified memory becomes cache for very fast 1+ TB Apple SSD.
gloxkiqcza··on White-collar AI apocalypse narrative is just another bullshit
In some ways AI sounds almost utopian. I theory it could redistribute manpower more evenly between small and large businesses, allowing them to compete more fairly and improving the efficiency of capitalism (the idealistic model, not the real world state). However, than you remember that the AI tech is currently almost fully in control by the big tech (and its next generation) and you have to ask whether they’ll be able to sabotage that improvement because they will do their worst for sure since liberating the market is not beneficial to them. Let’s hope that despite all odds and current trends we actually reach a state where AI is possible to run on-prem/locally and there are still SOTA models at least as open as they are today.
gloxkiqcza··on Ask ChatGPT to pick a number from 1-10000, it generally selects from 7200-7500
In a pure LLM I agree. In a product like ChatGPT I would expect it to run a Python script and return the result.
gloxkiqcza··on ATMs didn't kill bank teller jobs, but the iPhone did
There’s always more problems to be solved. Some of them just weren’t financially feasible before.
gloxkiqcza··on Thinking hard burns almost no calories but destroys your next workout
Yeah, this seems like an obvious solution. If possible, move your workout to before work.
gloxkiqcza··on Testing Ads in ChatGPT
That stands today. In the future the SOTA might move to where models of today are no longer competitive and there no open-weight alternatives available anymore. Let’s hope it’s not the case.

gloxkiqcza··on Ask HN: What Happened to Apple App Clips?
I think most use cases for App Clips are better served by simple web apps, which is why App Clips never really took off.

I still miss 3D Touch. For me, iPhone XS was the peak iPhone.

Password reset emails usually contain a token that expires rather quickly so unless I’m missing something, this should be a non-issue.
