If you need an example, look at the Peking->Beijing transition.

Yeah they totally isomorphed that industry!

My grandmother used to say, "the Americans are going to space while we're just growing butt-hair". She was so close!

> Chrome and anything electron based don't provide any accessibility information to the OS

Are we sure about this? At least on windows, NVDA works fine with chrome and any electron apps.

I don't understand how it's nihilistic and how it doesn't work in 2026.

I'm pretty sure if they threw the Windows 7 source in a room with a mighty (sufficiently advanced) LLM, the only instruction being "make this better, make no mistakes" (as in the meme), it'd still be better than the current Win11 situation. This thing is horribly broken. At least with LLMs, I get a "you're absolutely right" when I complain.

Yes because it's not a single calendar, and I sometimes need to be reminded of potential plans (not saved on a calendar), history with that specific person ("oh I already made a demo to this person 2 years ago and from my notes, it seems that I didn't get a lot of feedback, perhaps prioritize someone else?"), and other context. I offer the LLM context, and I in return get a distilled context from which it's easier to make decisions.

Writing important emails used to be a 1-2 hour occasion, nowadays only 15 minutes, but surely not 10 seconds.

Usually my back and forth with the llm is much longer than the result. Add the skills, the context, access to my calendar... I'd probably need to send a zip file instead of 1 short paragraph of text. Maybe letting agents representing people, with access to non public information will be secure in the future. For now, that part is manual. I need to control information on the way out.

You probably should find it insulting when someone obviously didn't take the time needed to form a proper response. Prompting "write something apologetic and kind for not attending their wedding" and sending the response is not okay. Like this example, it's easy to recognize when being a human counts, we should also be able to justify automating stuff when it really is just boring information exchange.

> And will you use AI to write the wedding speech you give at your child's wedding?

You aren't reading what you are responding to.

If AI is not that special, just a tool, then treat it as such.

If AI is special, unlike any other tool, why aren't you using it that much?

I personally don't think it's anything special, and if I knew I'll die soon and were planning my last trip with my child, I'd use AI, just like I'd use a credit card, or my phone.

It allows me to spend more time with other people, getting boring tasks done much quicker.

> if you do not allow yourself lazy once in a while, you are likely to get burnout

I'm not sure how using AI to generate songs will save anyone from the burnout of searching for songs, but what I understood from context is "intellectual laziness" and I see that as an insult. I'm not a native speaker though, so thanks for offering another perspective.

Composability (piping to other programs, or calling them via scripts), reachability (through ssh, for example), focus (not being distracted by all options being present) and universality (cli is more or less the same interface everywhere) are my reasons.

I still use GUI apps too, and actually find claude code to be closer to a GUI app than a cli.

> it's ok to be lazy, not a crime

It's normal to hate AI being pushed down our throats, but it's a completely different thing when we call people names, who enjoy it on their own.

> My friends who previously had no interest in technology and never talked about it, are suddenly following tech news closely all because they hate AI being pushed so hard.

My friends who previously had no interest in technology and never talked about it, are suddenly following tech news closely all because they have fear of missing out on AI :(

"Possible to somewhat disable", I call it "PTSD".

> But even when I talk to people, they forward my questions to AI and send me the AI’s answer.

Those people obviously don't want to talk to you/"other people" or not interested in the topic you're talking about or both.

Find people who want to talk to you, and avoid spaces where this is less likely to happen.

Funny thing is, when this happened to me, I asked AI to give me ideas (because online I just couldn't find people to talk to except on HN) and the best idea it had was finding smaller/niche forums and real-world gatherings around me.

At least nowadays, when you see the person talking in real world, it's fairly easy to tell human from android.

I was deep in Vue 5-6 years ago, so much that I offered internal training for it and had sessions with more than 20 people attending.

IMHO, React wins because you can just treat templates as variables. You don't need "slots" or other special stuff. It's simply more composable.

Considering my use case (web apps), there already wasn't anything I couldn't do with Opus 4.5, the same will be true or were already true for more people in other releases, and at some point, which may have already passed, most people will stop finding qualitative leaps.

This doesn't always mean that there is a bottleneck in terms of raw power, it may also mean that your use cases (or the lower hanging fruits among them) are already covered.

How do you hide them if you aren't self hosting the model?

Same for Microsoft. Redirects to the void, 5-level-deep sign-in prompts, "contact your administrator" who doesn't exist...

Maybe it's a size thing.

As a reply to this comment:

> Interesting you say the Dev isn't a great person, because I had a hunch when I saw the use of the Lena photo on the front page

You say:

> you guys are ruthless (...) You people are gross.

I'm not saying you don't have a point. I didn't know enough to be sensitive on the Lena topic once either, and could have been the target of the above comment. So I think, perhaps, those could have been formulated more constructively.

However, I must say the same for your comment too. Can't we all be friends here? :)

If the constant meta changes (or other peculiarities involving those folders) make the sync unusable, then it can be both. In that case, you stop syncing and communicate.

So my idea is that it's a competency problem (lack of communication), not malice. But it's just a theory, based on my own experience.

In any case, this is a bad situation, however you look at it.

I think this should not be attributed to malice, however unfortunate. I had also developed some sync app once and onedrive folders were indeed problematic, causing cyclic updates on access and random metadata changes for no explicit reason.

Complete lack of communication (outside of release notes, which nobody really reads, as the article too states) is incompetence and indeed worrying.

Just show a red status bar that says "these folders will not be backed up anymore", why not?

S3 needs a split:

QS3 (Quite Simple Storage Service) for the barebones. Bucket/Object CRUD. Maybe: Multipart Uploads. Presigned URLs.

S3 for Object Tagging, Access Control Lists, etc.

S3E (enterprise? extended? elaborate?) for Object Lock & Retention (WORM compliance, Legal Holds), Event Notifications and so on.

It also breaks a lot of a11y tooling. It really helps a lot of people when developers care about semantic html.

I personally suggest web devs to install axe devtools [0] in their dev browser profile. Also, LLMs have gotten to the point that even the small local models can help a lot [1].

In some sense, "you also did".

You couldn't argue the case on the internet better, and convince enough people not to give the signal that it's okay. We are all guilty :)

Writing this from a corporate win11 computer, the whole thing is so laggy, it's unbelievable. Last year, I had revived my old desktop from 2007 with an intel Q6600, windows xp and a clicky dying HDD, and that thing flied compared to this. Dear Microsoft and its partners (Especially DELL!), what the hell happened?!

It smells better, my skin feels better after using it, and I feel happier. Showering may take little time, but I have my skin all the time :)

Why can't you have the agent running on its own server/vm in your pocket?

Not to shoot down your comment with sarcasm, I'm being really honest: I changed my shower gel with an expensive one this week, and it really had an unexpected, exciting effect. Small stuff can really have consequences much bigger than themselves.

That said, if you ever decide solve the tidying the toys problem, start a kickstarter, I pledge to pledge support! :D
