the_clarence··on OpenAI to buy AI startup from Jony Ive
Tbh I rarely use my meta glasses for AI because most of the time I don't want to ask out loud in public. So I just get my phone out and ask chatgpt or gemini. I think voice is doomed due to that as a UI
the_clarence··on I don't like NumPy
Why do people use numpy instead of sage?
the_clarence··on Coinbase says hackers bribed staff to steal customer data, demanding $20M ransom
Where was the number from? I received an impressive number of phonecalls attempt but thankfully I never answer to unknown numbers. With google call screen they hung up everytime so I assume its a scam.
the_clarence··on Uber to introduce fixed-route shuttles in major US cities
I commuted in public transport my whole life until I moved to SF, saw a bunch of violence and mugging my first times riding the bus and decided to never ride the bus ever again here.
the_clarence··on Google is building its own DeX: First look at Android's Desktop Mode
Its actually much easier to hold a folding phone! I often just use it in unfolded mode because it's so easy to hold

I couldn't even read your post because it doesn't make sense to me. Just go in a store and try the phone.

Google pixel folding is great quality, I think you're talking about the first gen folding phones.

In addition Apple would be happy if people started upgrading their phones more frequently.

The size: its a smaller phone that becomes a tablet on demand. It really is the best of both worlds
the_clarence··on Google is building its own DeX: First look at Android's Desktop Mode
I switched from a lifetime of iPhones to an android phone last year, just because of folding phones. They are amazing and IMO the reason why Apple is going to have issues as these get cheaper (unless they release a folding phone too). Now that I have all this screen estate the current UI feels limiting often.

the_clarence··on My stackoverflow question was closed so here's a blog post about CoreWCF
The same has happened on reddit a long time ago. Most users give up early because they get their forst posts (on any community) removed many times before they can manage (if they do manage) to post it. If the feedback loop was faster (you instantly get feedback on why the post doesn't go through) it would be better although you would already lose some users. The situation is so bad that I predict reddit is slowly dying already
the_clarence··on Mistral ships Le Chat – enterprise AI assistant that can run on prem
My guess is that this is basically what AI providers are slowly moving to. And this is what models seem to be doing underneath the surface as well now with Mixture of Experts (MoE).

Agents are specialized via prompts and MCP now, and more and more rarely by model

Tbh I think the one general model approach is winning. People don't want to figure out which model is better at what unless its for a very specific task.
the_clarence··on Claude's system prompt is over 24k tokens with tools
Why would they refer to Claude in second person?
the_clarence··on Claude Integrations
I meant I wanted to run them synchronously in the same process :)
the_clarence··on Claude Integrations
Been playing with MCP in the last few days and it's basically a more streamlined way to define tools/function calls.

That + the agent SDK of openAI makes creating agentic flow so easy.

On the other hand you're kinda forced to run these tools / MCP servers in their own process which makes no sense to me.

the_clarence··on Uncovering the mechanics of The Games: Winter Challenge
I couldn't play sim city because of that, the game would always throw insane natural disasters at me until I lost, I thought that was a very interesting way to mess with copies

No need, wage slavery is an already established term

the_clarence··on Exercise before bed is linked with disrupted sleep
Straw man. yes I would call it modern slavery.
the_clarence··on Exercise before bed is linked with disrupted sleep
Eat breakfast.
the_clarence··on Exercise before bed is linked with disrupted sleep
You workout before you eat. Here. Solved.
the_clarence··on Exercise before bed is linked with disrupted sleep
I know a lot of people who work out during their 2H lunch break because they don't have the time otherwise.

If you can't take that 2H lunch break consider if you're being treated like a slave.

Having an alarm is really bad for your heart
the_clarence··on Mark Zuckerberg says social media is over
It annoys me when people who have no friends say this like this applies to everyone else
the_clarence··on Mark Zuckerberg says social media is over
I think you're right, but also groupchats allow you to create cliques which facebook never really offered as a feature. What they did offer was broadcasting lists which is not the same as a clique. Groups didn't really integrate cliques well IMO as they were more "public oriented" but they are probably the closest thing.
the_clarence··on Mark Zuckerberg says social media is over
You're saying that users weren't using the app enough like it's a bad thing. Users saw the tool as useful and used it.
the_clarence··on Mark Zuckerberg says social media is over
If that friends tab is not the default tab its not going to work. Period.
the_clarence··on Mark Zuckerberg says social media is over
It started when they introduced the non chronological timeline. Everything from then on was about driving users to use the app more as opposed to being a tool to connect friends.

Thanks to facebook I have met many friends throughout the world, including my now wife, and have managed to keep in touch with them as I travel the world and land in my friends home countries.

It is so sad that the tool I'm describing doesn't really exist anymore.
