That's extremely stupid, but also it's a completely different thing from literally just having the word "reasoning" in the text.

> the current approach isn't delivering the desired engineering requirements. Maybe we need to rethink

I'm reminded of the times I've tried to let Claude fix some well-documented bug in the background, and it ends up burning 4 million tokens and 20 self-review cycles re-writing the same set of code a dozen times with ever more complex unit test mocks / overcomplicated regexes / giant comments restating the same thing the code does, when the actual fix turned out to be "change three to ten lines to do something in a slightly different way that avoids the problem entirely".

Even Next.js, for all that people are unhappy about its quirks, complexity, and random undocumented behavior and bugs (God help you if you ever want to try and actually use parallel routes as documented), can do all of this SPA stuff out of the box. Use `<Suspense>` appropriately on data loading, and everything static (including e.g. purely input-output components like editors) will load once and be re-used forever, and your Suspense-wrapped items will show a loading placeholder and only re-load when you intentionally re-trigger the data loading (which you can push down all the way to the level of individual buttons if you want).

Almost every time I've seen it in action, it felt like an Onion-grade parody, the same grade of stuff as the white people complaining about tribes in Canada building malls and housing towers and not living like historical stereotypes instead (https://www.cbc.ca/newsinteractives/features/land-back-podca...).

The one exception was a traveling theater show with Native peformers and no actual control over the theater, and even then there was some careful rhetoric involved to keep it from sounding like an accusation aimed at the audience.

It's a register that would be great for some tabletop games or pop science writing, but in this context it could really use a technical editor to aggressively remove phrasing like "keeping the fold neatly uniform" and "affordance surface", as well as change things like "hooks live in a hooks.json file, today of four extant types" into plain technical language ("there are four types of hook that can be defined in hooks.json").

The tl;dr of the tl;dr is treating the model setup like an autonomous robot with its own machine to use and just telling it what to do via chat rather than directly supervising it, which is bonkers in some ways (all the open internet/service access/permissions stuff you would imagine), and smart in others (a fully isolated machine means it can fuck up something locally or run high-load tests without taking down your important systems).

It's not clear at all. I have no idea at a glance what concept it's even intended to convey, because "pacing" means multiple things and putting it next to an abstract concept of "the frontier" turns that into a whole matrix of possible meanings.

This may or may not be related, but if you're working on CC, who do we have to annoy to make Anthropic stop trying to force use of arbitrary Bash commands instead of the actual tool calls built into the harness? (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/90450, https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/89251, etc) It's deeply infuriating at times that there's this full system of hooks, permissions, etc that's unusable at times because CC keeps trying to make the model not use any of it.

All I really want out of Siri is something I can give actual natural language instructions to about smart home stuff, calendars, timers, "app stuff", without it actively leaking my info to other companies, and in theory this new Siri should be able to do that.

Kinda slow, though. I'm hoping that's just early scaling problems.

Adjust them to the past X0 years of inflation from whenever the limits were last set, and peg them to inflation from then out.

So how do you make that CLI tool work in the context of a web client?

...in a specific region, in a specific time period, immediately before the economic and then societal crash of the eastern Mediterranean that changed culture in the region forever.

The hypothesis breaks down pretty hard when you realize he just kind of handwaves away people in the rest of the world not having any kind of abrupt cut-over in the styles of recorded literature that forms the backbone of his arguments.

Sure, but there would have still been the same poor record keeping around birth dates and the same incentives for people in a poor area 60 years ago to enter the workforce early.

Unfortunately, the US is filled with people who are happy to make their own lives worse if it hurts people they don't like even more.

Of course, if you get a Quest you're also paying with the sheer amount of personal data shipped off to Meta the entire time you're using it.

The motion sickness in particular is something that's been mostly solved by using non-stick locomotion, like Gorilla Tag (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1533390/Gorilla_Tag/). Both the 'big name' developers and the various flat-to-VR mod makers still insist on stick locomotion, though, even though that actively makes the experience worse.

The streaming is good enough now, especially with foveated rendering, that there's no reason for them to eat the extra support cost and user experience drag of focusing on a tether.

General-purpose layout engines are Turing complete.

You're expecting consumers to be able to compare these anti-features that are actively hidden from them. It's like airline seats - airlines get away with continually shrinking them because consumers have no way to actually compare airline seat sizes ahead of time.

The game description on Steam even explicitly mentions "SCP Foundation", which the creator also doesn't have the rights to use unless the whole game is Creative Commons-licensed.

Unless, of course, the terms of service require mandatory binding arbitration and bar you from the recourse of the legal system entirely.

I've seen some people complain about the work of dealign.ai and similar groups, but personally, I fully support it. If LLMs have a lasting effect on society, I'd prefer to see some options that don't have generic corpo-speak anti-liability status quo guards encoded into them by default.

The "what is" section didn't exist when they commented.

I would wait until there's a display model at an Apple Store, then give it a week while it goes through approximately a bajillion fold/unfold cycles, then see what the crease looks like.

It's to be distinctive in public from the square foldables. That's it. That's the reason.

So where's the add-on that adds a thumbstick and some buttons so I can play DS games on it?

The simple ctrl+C ctrl+V, for example.

It reminds me of the people who reinvent some basic concept of physics with an LLM (usually, but not always, incorrectly) and think it's 'revolutionary'.

Also see the 80-year-old woman in SF who killed an entire family at a bus stop, while speeding, while going the wrong way on a one way street, and was sentenced to probation and community service and banned from driving for three years.

Of course, them doing it like that makes the security theater even more obvious, since they don't bother doing anything about it until renewal time.
