Cloudflare AI Gateway launched in beta in 2023, and went GA in 2024.

Once, I watched a boomer in a red cap fill a soda cup with 50 pumps of mustard from the Costco condiment commons as a little take-home treat. I'm surprised that any condiments are still self-serve.

> …the link to add them there is buried in the UI…

It's a standard "Send To" option (the "buried" option you refer to?), but PWAs can also use SFAddToHomeScreenActivityItem.

The use of 'loss leaders' has a long history, so is your point that Temu's use of loss leaders may be illegal?*

(*I poked around a bit, and this may be possible, especially in California.)

Around 40% of Linux CLI tools are written in interpreted languages.

Edison Research's "currently use Twitter" numbers for people 12+ went from 27% in 2023 to 22% in 2025.

Pew found 16% of U.S. teens used X in 2025, versus 23% in 2022 and 33% in 2014–15.

Apple has done this (multi-camera/spatial fusion) since 2016, in addition to multi-frame/temporal fusion. The OS decides whether these techniques are worthwhile for any given shot based on context.

Yes, and even calling them "open weights" is very generous considering the license restrictions. The Financial Times puts "open" in quotes for good reason.

It can demoralizing for developers to realize that they've built something that nobody is interested in, either because potential users are happy with what's built into the OS, or are happy with FOSS solutions that are better than what they've built (e.g. Pika: https://superhighfives.com/pika).

It also doesn't help that simple utilities like this can now be roughed out in a day with AI.

So is this basically Beads + Dolt? This isn’t to diminish it, it’d be great if this ends up being a less “vibe code-y” alternative to those.

This is absolutely true, although I'd broden it to "systems design" since software is part and parcel of the advancements. An example that comes to mind is AssistiveTouch for for Apple Watch (2021), which ultimately drove the requirement for a faster low-power Neural Engine, and which then evolved into Watch's mainstream Double Tap interaction (2023).

> There's no way I'd dare to take on a full Apple-platform app project alone on my own, but I've started dabbling in it again thanks to AI: Codex even converted an old app I made in Visual Basic 900 years ago and had it running in SwiftUI within minutes!

You may like my project https://charleswiltgen.github.io/Axiom/ (FOSS). I was in the same place a year ago, and initially created Axiom as a private skills suite before deciding that it was too helpful not to share.

> I've noticed that developers who started with UIKit really have a hard time working with SwiftUI.

I think this is true. SwiftUI became "very good" as of iOS 26 (in part because the performance gap mostly evaporated) and continues to get better in iOS 27. Over and over, I see UIKit developers trying to do things "the UIKit way" in SwiftUI, and they'd rather write TFAs instead of considering that they may need to skill up and learn to write effective and idiomatic SwiftUI.

I have no complaints about my QNAP TS-462.

Atom's problem is that RSS is also the final modern form of RSS.

Nitro is wonderul. On macOS it also integrates perfectly with Photos, which I find to be an ideal "combination pro/consumer surface" for my library.

Hacker News context: Song is "co-written" using AI.

"Last month, Boy George launched a new company called Artist Included, which will use AI to allow artists to create new versions of earlier songs which resemble the originals, as a way of wresting back control of master recordings."

That sucks. I've used an LG UltraFine 5K with my Mac Studio for years and still consider it one of my favorite tech purchases ever, so I feel lucky I've never needed their support services.

The result I'm citing is very clearly presented in both a table and in supporting copy. It's even highlighted in the summary. Search for "65".

My citation was correct. To question to ask yourself: For my use case, is it okay that Pangram can't reliably tell the difference between "100% AI generated" and "AI assisted"?

Pangram's marketing always reminds me of Anchorman's Sex Panther cologne: "They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time."

Pangram's "100% AI generated" claims are right 65% of the time. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40979-026-00226-w

> A dithered image almost certainly beats a non-dithered JPEG compressed image in terms of file size, because you can JPEG compress the dithered image. Thus, if you like the look of a dithered image, you get file size reduction as a bonus.

That's backwards. Dithering (and simulated halftoning, as in this case) adds detail/noise, making images harder to compress efficiently.

> …but then it takes me 2 weekends to break up the changes into smaller commits using jj, which also gives me the chance to review and understand the code myself.

I just tell Claude Claude code, "commit all, grouping logically" after a tranche of work.

> If not, why not?

At least on Apple devices, this is not something anyone has to worry about.

For example, on my 2022 Mac Studio daily driver, on 24/7, DriveDx (https://binaryfruit.com/drivedx) reports my SSD lifetime left at 94%.

(I'm aware of the February 2021 "wear-gate" scare involving the first M1 Macs. This turned to be incorrect SSD-wear reporting.)

How was OSA/AppleScript not an OS-level malleable computing layer?

Out of curiosity, are you now or have you ever been a "Mac person"? I'm curious if you've ever gone down the rabbit hole on Apple's history of technologies for what I think you'd call "malleable computing" at the OS level, like Open Scripting Architecture/AppleScript and now App Intents?
