potatoproduct··on Anthropic's growth just flattened
I've been throwing opus 5.5 at problems I got stuck on with sonnet in the past and it has breezed through them all. It really reinforced how far the models have come.

The title should be "Apple bribes security researchers with free devices"
potatoproduct··on macOS 15.8.2 Breaks OpenGL

potatoproduct··on Nearly 200 people under observation after Irkutsk lab worker dies from plague
Chinas actions following the event includes the destruction of evidence, refusal of access and using the WHO as their personal mouthpiece. Unless history is rewritten too, every textbook should clearly point to China.

potatoproduct··on British Steel taken into public ownership to protect 'vital' UK supply
An increasing proportion of UK citizens are deciding not to pay for a TV licence that funds the BBC as consumption patterns have changed.

The BBC will be a zombie in 10 years unless they stop being emotionally driven and sort out their funding.

old.reddit.com

This will cause some major headaches.
potatoproduct··on Firefox Has Integrated Brave's Adblock Engine
Apple only does things to progress their own business model. Apple failed at becoming an ad business so they pivoted to subscriptions and app revenue. Now they are building an ad business. Just look at their ad revenue.

Apple doesn't care about privacy, its a convenient USP.

potatoproduct··on So you want to write an “app” (2025)
I'm a semi-retarded product manager that was interested in what it was like building linux desktop apps. With a hand from Claude, I was surprised to get a simple Gnome/gtk widget that was functional and understandable. I was also able to iterate on it without any headaches.

You mean Apple has been forced by regulators to implement core features like USB-C and RCS?

potatoproduct··on Yann LeCun to depart Meta and launch AI startup focused on 'world models'
Anthropic feels like a one trick pony as most users dont need or want anthropic products.

However, I speak with a small subset of our most experienced engineers and they all love Claude Sonnet 4.5. Who knows if this lead will last.

potatoproduct··on Facebook enables gender discrimination in job ads: European human rights body
The content you consume has a large influence in your education and career.

If you get recommendations for "Technology" and someone of the opposite sex doesn't its completely discriminatory.

If you don't think its a problem then you likely dont understand how recommendation systems work.

The only way recommendations could work is you would explicitly state preferences for everything upfront and no engagement data is used.

I dont think you understand the implications of banning this. In principle you ban any kind of content recommendation. Reddit, Netflix, YouTube, Twitter, etc.
