> None of that matters for a phone.

Of course it does. They show the most basic example right on the page, which is that you can side-by-side full screen apps.

Anyone understand how cases will work for this?

> should be able to support a lot of niches

Apple's whole thing is that they don't do niches. Support a select few versions of select few products very very well is the whole MO

> We’re getting something that isn’t totally crooked

Is there a secret corner of LinkedIn that I’m not aware of that isn’t just the most shameless promotion of AI, crypto, and various other techno-babble BS you’ve ever seen?

Acceleration is not quadratic with respect to speed/velocity, and c is a speed/velocity.

“I don’t know”

In New York City where disposable bag bans occurred I’m quite certain the average “reusable” bag gets used a single-digit number of times. Grocery stores charge 25c for a “reusable” bag in the case that you forgot to bring your own, and every household has a bag full of bags that never get used. Now they’ve re-allowed disposable paper bags, which seems sensible to me.

> Bots and such have really ruined the value of customer reviews.

This is not true. Bots and such have ruined the value of ratings aggregations. Individual reviews are still useful because you can always find some that you can tell are not bots

This is the most baffling comment I think I’ve ever read

You can't cut entitlements without an equal tax cut. Which is potentially worth discussing but it's not going to help balance the budget.

The greatest living mathematician uses it for Math

To me it seems like people who are confident in their expertise generally find it useful, even if it's imperfect

I think local models will not be “niche” in the future in the same way personal computers are not “niche” just because most computing happens in the cloud. They have entirely different uses

Read: "I did not even attempt to read the article"

ok i'm gonna be honest I still don't really understand what you're saying so I'm gonna bow out of this conversation

Ok, did DOGE decrease those?

I sort of look at it as putting a flag on the moon. Billboards are how tech companies claim ownership of SF and the tech sphere, any consumer influence is incidental.

Budget cuts that don't touch military spending aren't real budget cuts.

I hate billionaires!

Ok, maybe a few of them are fine people who have too much money, but the vast majority of them are in their position because they were willing to siphon money from lower classes using unethical means. Of all of the competitive advantages you can claim, the "no moral scruples" one is the most persistent.

I just asked Siri

"Hey Siri, what's the weather in <nearby town with a generic name> tomorrow" and it gave me a town with the same name ~800 miles from me.

You don't have to do this? Maybe someone is making you, but it's literally possible to just stop using LLMs for purposes where they fail reliably.

I'm also not sure what the point of the keto story is. Are you saying the Polio Vaccine does not work?

At what point is the correct response to just stop paying federal taxes?

Are you saying something being reliable is not a big deal? I'm sort of confused

It's literally a point about revenue. The point is, it's very easy to record a lot of revenue when you (and your investors) don't care about your margins

I enjoy the process of solving problems with LLMs. I understand it's chaotic (what many people call non-deterministic), and that doesn't appeal to some people, but solving problems with statistics is problem solving just the same. Just because medicines don't work with 100% reliability doesn't mean Jonas Salk didn't solve a problem. The same is true with LLM solutions that don't work 100% of the time.

I think most people will come around to this way of thinking once the pro-LLMers stop pretending like the statistics don't exist too (i.e. that ML is the solution to any problem, despite how unreliable it is).

Claude doctor doesn't seem to do what they say it does. It just shows me a status check. I'm on the latest version of claude code

The flip side is that those upgrades were a cheap way for delta to buy loyalty. I know a lot of people who flew many times a year on delta only and now look for other airlines.

> "Hey, I know you're leaning on the AI a bit, but here's what's wrong with the code: ...."

I'm generally in agreement, but I think current corporate/productivity culture and AI is a bad mix that makes this quote/sentiment feel impossible. All of the current incentives are set up to push out as much sloppy code as possible, and AI is the perfect machine for doing that in huge quantities, to the point where reviewing all of it is impossible. It's not really AI's fault (imo). There's plenty of ways to use it to design more elegant, understandable, maintainable systems. But unfortunately that's going to take a cultural shift, and part of that cultural shift involves people pushing back against AI as it's used today.

The guy who sells $20 bills for $10 also generates a lot of revenue

> American left, as AI is going to hugely undermine their power

Can you explain this line of reasoning to me. My own intuition tells me that as AI automates away jobs, the center will be more open to government programs that create jobs, provide a social safety net, and allow people to retrain.

Why is it you think the right gains power?

It seems like maybe this person missed why slavery is bad. Which is that it takes away the freedom of a human being. The fact that it takes away work from you is not the problem
