4chan is well, moderated, but it's outlived Facebook with real names.

Can probably arrest the founder in Heathrow, like Durov's arrest in France.

It looks like Ilya Sutskever wasn't as indispensable as he thought. SSI, Inc. is nowhere near the scale of OpenAI.

In San Francisco, $50 is the new $20

"Best among the imperfect choices"?

What's wrong about the current situation? Why imperfect?

I have had Android phones starting from G1, and never had any problems with them, that I could install any APK that I wished on my own hardware. There's nothing imperfect for me, as a user. What's "imperfect" is that there are apps like ReVanced and PipePipe that deprive Google of the advertising revenue. But that's imperfect for Google, and perfect for the user. Just charge me 30 bucks for Android OS instead.

I am in the EU and I get 200

The fact that modern Macs do not have a local LLM to at least improve text input (like Gboard for Android "Writing Tools"), not mentioning a local coding model/AI image editor, is atrocious.

Cook is a was a good COO but Apple needs a CEO with a vision, to not follow Intel's path.

I lived in Spain for several years. The general theme here is endless construction. There was a construction in the food market nearby that lasted for 4 years, and it has been still going on when I left. In the US, this would have been done in 2 months. The Spanish love slow construction.

I have also fixed live bugs in vim from my Android phones, starting from 2014.

Controlled BGP enabled switches too.

Fixed database replication issues.

I agree. For one, most people don't change. In the sense that their ideas don't change. For the ideas to change in the society, sometimes people themselves have to be replaced, i.e. generations have to change.

The forum for YC backed startups is not public. This is effectively an indirect tech recruitment board for those start-ups, sir.

I have the same experience, except while I agree that GPT-5 is better than Sonnet 4 for architecture and deep thinking, Sonnet 4 still seems to be better for just banging out code when you have a well-defined and a very detailed plan.

it's free in Cursor till Sept 2. My experience is subpar so far

But its owner and ideologue does not live in CA or France or China. There are enough dissident programmers even in SF to stuff xAI

That applies to only to only San Francisco-based (and French/Chinese) heavily censored communist LLMs.

i installed it from F-Droid. Prefer using the opensource ecosystem

Their incentive is even stronger: most users of ReVanced for example unlock YouTube, which belongs to Google. In that case we are talking about 100% revenue loss, not 30% app commission. This goes for NewPipe, etc.

I wonder if OsmAnd, Termux, F-Droid would survive this or will be casualties. Who will authenticate for a decentralized open source app that has 100 active contributors?

I am not the average user, but my key apps are ReVanced, Termux, OsmAnd. All sideloaded. I am on a Pixel 9XL.

I definitely fly less now, because I am tired of the Orwellian circus at the airports. I guess same mechanism will reduce my smartphone use

Does the camera module still fall off like on the Pixel 9?

One way out for Apple is facilitate running small local specialized models on its hardware, like Macbooks - with unlimited free use, like basic writing, translations, spreadsheets and maybe coding.

The macbook could come with some models, and brew ecosystem would supply others.

This will be essential for the open source. Otherwise open source development will become unsustainable. I'm actually a little bit more optimistic. I think we will get something more than Sonnet 4 level in two years, that can be run on a $2,000 machine.

Maybe time to buy GTLB?

why would they? This is great for the large media corps:

- Increases barrier to entry for smaller competitors

- Reliable user data (age, race, who knows what else) derived from video age verification

Anecdote:

My mom recently visited Spain. The process of buying a local SIM card was as follows:

• Show your US passport at a major local cellular provider’s store (Movistar) to have its number associated with the SIM.

• During SIM activation, open a browser page that accesses the phone’s camera.

• Scan the first page of your passport.

• Point the selfie camera at your face, then close your eyes and smile when prompted.

If the UK orders a Wikipedia block to its ISPs, it would be a good thing, to raise public awareness of the OSA. Wikipedia should do nothing and wait.

Opposite experience. I worked with Claude code a lot, then switched to Cursor and then tried to switch back and discovered that CC often gets stuck in loops. Cursor just works. It definitely helps that I can switch the foundational models in Cursor when it gets stuck.

"The organization is not bringing a general challenge to the OSA as a whole, nor to the existence of the Category 1 duties themselves. Rather, the legal challenge focuses solely on the new Categorisation Regulations that risk imposing Category 1 duties (the OSA’s most stringent obligations) on Wikipedia."

I find this a very unprincipled stance.

It needs a compact Non-ascii Graphics form, in termux on my phone, the ASCII output is too big for the screen size.

My problem with Claude code versus Cursor is that with Cursor I could "shop around" the same context with different foundational model providers, often finding bugs this way or or getting insights.

Sometimes one model would get stuck in their thinking and submitting the same question to a different model would resolve the problem
