This sounds completely dystopian.

Me and my wife were Star Wars fans. The last Star Wars media we watched was episode 8. I almost walked out the theater.

The first time I connected my iPhone to my car through apple car play, it started popping up whatsapp notifications over my map!

Very bad first impression! I was shocked that they think some notification is more important than being able to know where you are driving. Notifications should not be on by default!

Out of the Privacy Not Included list of car manufacturers it is the third not-worst: https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/privacynotincluded/cate...

It is still very bad: https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/privacynotincluded/tesl...

Loops would be nice. To make cool fireworks animations with CSS, you basically need to use SCSS to CSS compiler: https://codepen.io/hmaw/pen/qBEMLxV

Firefox reader view gives me better contrast. Also the text to speech mode works in reader view.

How does this compare to k3s?

They flush the toilet every time they fart, of course.

When confronted about LLM writing completely broken tests the guy said the funniest thing: "It knows what it’s doing but tends to be… lazy."

I'm a big fan of LLMs but this guy is just a joke. He understand nothing of the code the LLM generates. He says things like "The LLM knows".

He is not going to convince anybody to merge is PRs, since he is not even checking that the tests the LLM generates are correct. It's a joke.

> give a non-programming job a try for 1 year

I have a mortgage, 3 kids and a wife to support. So no. I don't think I'm going to do that. Also, I like my programming job.

EDIT: Sorry I thought you were saying the opposite. Didn't realize you were the OP of this thread.

Out of curiosity, how is a dedicated server oversold?

How so?

While it is true the rendering engine is the same. The functionality is different. I have 5 browsers installed on iOS. They are not the same. - Brave. Has native adblocking - Orion. Supports extensions from firefox and chrome extension store (not perfect compatibility, but still quite amazing). - DuckDuckGo Browser. Offers nice privacy features. - Firefox. Allows to sync tabs with desktop. - Edge. IIRC I installed this when LLMs were early and it had built in bing chat for free llm chatting.

So while the rendering engine is the same, that is one of the least interesting things.

That said, I'm all for removing this requirement.

The universe was very hot in the beginning. It took a while for stars to form. Even longer for planets to form. Even longer for planets to cool down. The early universe was a violent place. Full of destruction. After the protoplanetary disk finally coalesces to planets and when planets finally stopped getting bombarded by meteorites, they could start cooling. In the earlier days of the universe there might have been intelligent life supporting planets wiped out by the chaos of the early universe. We might not be the first. But we might be one of the first. We might be early. The universe might have a bright future ahead of itself in terms of intelligent life. This is all speculation of course.

Now you could still say that surely there have been enough time for some advanced civilizations to form. And I would argue that we don't know that. At least we have not detected them, either due our instruments or unwillingness of the intelligent life to communicate to us.

There are of course many other explanations of the Fermi Paradox. But since its all unknown, its basically pick and choose. I choose to pick the nice option. There are however other nice options :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox#Hypothetical_exp...

I just want to preface that I am not in support of Apple or Google in their closed ecosystem.

I was specifically referring to you saying "Switzerland is implementing a digital ID[1]. It will be made available to the most common devices and is open source. However Google and Apple can just remove it, what then?"

It seemed like you were saying that because it is open source, it will be removed. I simply disagreed with that. Plenty of opensource software exists in the app store.

I'm not disagreeing that they have the ability to remove software from their app stores. They have done that before as you mention. That is a fact.

That is one answer. Another possibility (the one I prefer, since this is mere speculation anyway) is that we are early.

"Homebrew's insistence on leaving OSes behind that they deem to be "too old" is becoming a problem as the years click by"

Indeed! I have a VERY usable Macbook Pro from 2015. Even with the newest version supported macOS version (11) Big Sur (which is still quite modern) it doesn't have any binaries for apps, which means it has to compile every single app and dependency.

I managed to update to macOS 14 (with the help of OpenCore Legacy Patcher).

But this just buys me one year to use Homebrew. Next year they will retire macOS 14.

And my machine is still very usable, but it will become junk from a developer perspective unless I have homebrew (or something similar).

It annoys me because I think this problem is fixable. Either community repos or more donations to homebrew to compile apps for older macs.

They won’t remove it if its been installed from their app stores.

I do want to mention when I said: "surprisingly little training "

I realize now what this sounds like. I want to mention that I did other races to build up my condition to be able to this one (the longest one I ever did).

I also want to mention that it was probably the physically hardest (but most rewarding) thing I've ever done.

I don't this is true. If this was true people in poor countries would have the least kids. You could argue that it is access to birth control + economic factors.

But even this doesn't seem to be true. I would say the most common reason is cultural. Average age of first pregnancy is nowadays very old. Definitely driven by culture. If you are to have your first child at over 30 it is very likely you will only be having 1. Which is below replacement levels. Also it creates a society of single child households, no siblings, and in my opinion too much focus on 1 child. Another cultural aspect I would say is the view of the importance of family.

I myself come from a very poor family in a developed nation. I am glad my mother didn't explain me out of existence due to economic factors.

Tangent/rant: And no, I'm not a right-winger. People's single opinion's on topics shouldn't dictate their view on all matters. This is such a weird US-centric phenomenon that is creeping to other countries...

Grok Code Fast 1 is quite usable for small simple coding tasks. And quite a bit cheaper than say: Claude Sonnet 4.5

Personal experience when using it OpenRouter.

That said, I prefer bigger models even if they cost more. But I do this through GitHub Copilot at a steady 10 dollars per month. I can do way more request with it than I can with 10 dollars worth of credits at OpenRouter. I don't think Copilot is making any money, on the contrary.

I've run an 83k with surprisingly little training or background. I obviously worked up slowly to get there. But it is very doable for anybody.

I second this. As a previous AI skeptic. VS Code with Agent Mode is amazing. Perfect amount of control over what the AI is doing. For me its been a game-changer. I would describe it as letting the AI do lots of the work and me being the guiding hand.

I will say, it is extremely important to have a good AGENTS.md file and other .md files that the agent can refer to when it needs to. Also having tests is more important than ever.

And when you notice common hiccups, document it in the AGENTS.md.

I don't have that alias myself. But it seems like reasonable alias to have.

If apple made it easy to install other stores. E.g. when you open the iPhone for the first time it would not prioritize the app store (like I think it does with browsers, at least android does).

This would create a more fair market. This would allow for competition. Which would allow prices to even out and be more fair.

Long winded way of saying, I don't know what the fair percentage would be. But I know as it stands now, we cannot even begin to know it.

I was just going to post the same thing. Happy somebody else thought of the same thing :D
