> An open source design system that's fully customizable and agent ready

Posted here for various reasons, one is that it's interesting to understand what makes this specific DS "agent ready" compared to "traditional".

One thing I could notice is that it is heavily commented. Could this be what makes this more fit to be used by LLMs?

While I don't dispute that Apple might or might not exploit its users via software, I believe some more credit is due to a company that can produce a piece of hardware like a personal computer that runs so smoothly after 14 years that its owner complains that more software updates should still be shipped to the device. I do not know of any other device that I could but as a consumer that would last that long. The framework laptops might be an exception, but they most definitely still need to prove it.

This is a security concern as well. I'd argue even worse than the internet connected ones. Anyone at your front door (or where the button is) can easily know if you're at home, and take advantage if you're not. With the internet connected ones, you can always pretend.

It's nice that they start the post with some sarcasm

It is likely after an IPO

And his previous post is from 2024-01-10 and titles: "Rabbit R1 - The Upgraded Replacement for Smart Phones"

I had never heard of this website, it was fun reading the comments!

Unless I'm missing something, this looks like scam

Too good to be true?

I stopped reading at the very first bug:

> Mail Search Doesn't Work

For me mail search works very very well. Ironically, it's one of the features that convinced me to use Mail as my primary and only email client.

I'm wondering if the author of the rant is using the search input of the single message/thread, instead of the global one, or if they are not aware that the global search is by selected account, so if you want to search in all accounts you have to first select the unified inbox. By the way, this is another awesome feature of Mail, while the search string is in the input, you can switch accounts and see the different results per account.

Before anyone asks: I have 5 email accounts, between them, I have way more than 100.000 messages (might be 5x, I don't have the Mac now to check) and they're all synced on my devices (it's ~24gb of messages)

Reading about how Skip works made me wonder: how long until we can reliability code only for one platform (e.g. iOS, but also even web) and then have AI agents that translate the code to all the other platforms in truly native code and UI (Swift, Kotlin, etc.)?

It's a shame that Italy is going down this path. As an Italian, I'm very disappointed and worried that these kind of fines are issued.

The worst part: because this has been issued by Agcom, it is also likely that this is not caused by the current government. Agcom is a bunch of bureaucrats that do not report to anyone other than themselves.

Eastdakota is right in saying that the rule of law is being disregarded. As a lawyer, and as someone that has been studying Italian institutions for decades, the problem is real and is only getting worse.

As a University professor, what I really don't get about this "experiment" is the timings. They report:

> 36 students examined over 9 days > 25 minutes average (range: 9–64)

It appears that they examined only 4hrs each day, one student at a time. This is incredibly inefficient.

In my experience, the greatest benefit of doing something like this would be to be able to run these exams in parallel, while retaining a somewhat impartial grading system.

As soon as I've tried the VR experience myself for something I actually found useful/entertaining (VR sports), I was immediately sold on the idea. I can't wait for this tech to get better and better

I only rely on IMDb scores and they're still reliable if enough time has passed since the movie release. A movie with more than 6 avg is usually enjoyable, while below 6 is not worth watching. Over 7 is usually very good, over 8 is a masterpiece

I’m a bit surprised by some of the comments I’m reading, which tend to frame Altman’s words as nothing more than corporate self-interest. Of course, it’s true that in his position he has to speak in ways that align with his company’s goals. That’s perfectly natural, and in fact it would be odd if he didn’t.

But that doesn’t mean there’s no truth in what he says. A company like his doesn’t choose its direction on a whim, these decisions are the product of intense internal debate, strategic analysis, and careful weighing of trade-offs. If there’s a shift in course, it’s unlikely to be just a passing fancy or a PR move detached from reality.

Personally, I’ve always thought that the pursuit of AGI as the goal was misguided. Human intelligence is extraordinary, but it is constrained by the physical and biological limitations of the "host machine" (not just the human brain). These are limits we cannot change. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, has no such inherent ceiling. It can develop far beyond the capabilities of our own minds, and perhaps that’s where our focus should be.

The author claims to have tried all Todo apps, and the lists only a fraction of the Todo apps available on the market. There's a reason why there are so many apps available, and without actually trying them all any conclusion is based on partial data.

This is very sad news. I've been using their password manager since it came out and, although not perfect, was working very well for me.

As a long standing (paying) user of Dropbox (I believe I've been using it since the very beginning), and former stock holder, I believe Dropbox must adjust its course asap. They lack a clear vision for the future and their current offering is way too limited (and shrinking apparently). For the money they ask there's no point in actually paying for their product, unless one is already locked in. For the same price, or even less, one can get an entire Office suite (Google/MS), plus cloud storage. Sure, Google Drive or OneDrive are nowhere close to Dropbox in terms of sync quality, but how many users (business and consumers) are willing to pay such a premium for quality file sync on top of other subscriptions?

Additionally, for many Dropbox is a no go for the simple fact that they don't have a reliable way to edit documents simultaneously. Recently I was looking for a cloud storage solution for a business that needed collaborative editing of documents. I had to go with Office365, as much as I would have preferred not to, because the way they allow multiple concurrent edits to documents is simply not matched by Dropbox (Google Drive is even better but it lacked some features that were essential for the business).

Unfortunately it looks like the stock market is well aware of this. The capitalization of Dropbox has been essentially stagnating for ~5 years, if adjusted for inflation.

I really hope that Dropbox can change its course by doing some brave acquisitions and rebuild its brand image with a more compelling and comprehensive offering.

Looks nice, but on a Google pixel 6 I get

> Unknown device. Using default 96 PPI. Calibrate for better accuracy.

The way I see it is that Apple competitors have given up on premium portable devices. Apple tech is so far ahead that consumers looking for the best non gaming hardware will most likely choose Apple devices.

For competitors, spending a huge amount of money in R&D to try to compete with Apple, will be most likely at a loss. At least until some chip manufacturer (read: Intel) doesn't step up their game.

As a consequence, competition has moved to the middle-low quality segment, one in which they can still compete because of 2 main factors: Apple is not interested in that segment and most companies won't move away from Windows (even if they probably should).

I noticed there's an entire paragraph explaining what OOP is, but it might be helpful to clarify that OOP stands for Object-Oriented Programming. Even though it's a well-known acronym, adding that explanation could benefit readers who are new to the concept.

Actually, I prefer this rather than "x monthly, n yearly". Having the two values in the same scale helps to compare the difference.

All you need is uninterrupted attention

Do you remember the title/where to find it?

Nope, your IBAN alone can be used to set up withdrawals. That has to be approved by the bank, so it's not as easy as stealing the IBAN, but still...

I suggest you try new devices to read papers. Often the perception that paper is a better support is due to a lack of more convenient devices. Paper is better than a 15'' screen for sure, for many reasons including size and posture while reading. But have you tried larger screens (> 27''), large tablets (>= A4) or as large as possible E-Ink readers? Depending on your preferences, you might find that some of these work actually better than paper also for you :-)

This is the missing prequel to "The last of us"

The rise and evolution of AI is remarkably reminiscent of how toddlers develop their abilities.

First, vision, then sound and speech. After that, the capacity to formulate and express their own thoughts, and now the affirmation of their individuality by stating no.

The rebellion of the machines will arrive at their teens.

Works fine on Pixel 6, it's likely Safari's rendering engine on iOS
