Thinking from first principles would likely start with “Do we need X?”

Can you give an example of a task you found they struggled with? Also, what agents are you using?

In what ways is Brave more secure or private than Firefox?

That’s a really sharp observation. Hopefully they take a belt and suspenders approach to these smoking guns in future.

One shot just means the user doesn’t have to iterate on it via the agent. The agent does what ever it needs to deliver the best outcome, including its own running and iteration until it’s happy with it. This could be a short or long process potentially depending on the task.

There are plenty of examples of law makers passing policy to make online and digital surveillance easier.

See TOLA in Australia, the UK trying to backdoor iCloud, Lawful Access to Encrypted Data act.

Surveillance is often sold with safety as the primary narrative.

Could you say more about your workflow? I don’t think I’ve ever gotten close to an hour of thinking before. Always curious to learn how to get more out of agents.

This already exists for me on iOS? Maybe check your notification settings?

The models are the same. The agent implementation is different. I can confirm Claude Code performs much better than GH Copilot with the same Claude models.

Can you explain your use case? I’d be interested to understand.

Same goes for Claude Code. Literally has vim bindings for editing prompts if you want them.

The list is made by the folks who maintain the “build your own x” repo. This is pretty close to their domain.

I usually just type with two thumbs and can type pretty quickly. Swiping always felt a bit awkward to me because my phone is too large to use one handed with one thumb swiping, and swiping with a finger felt awkward compared to just holding my phone in both hands and typing with both thumbs.

I imagine if you look at how most young people use their phone, it will mostly be the two thumb method and they will likely be very quick with it.

I can see their point if it genuinely is just a tracker/journal. It’s effectively just words. Should books that describe sex also be age restricted?

As they raised, games with gacha mechanics and violence receive a lower rating.

I feel the complaint is less about the app receiving that rating and more the flawed logic around how they are categorized given it’s effectively a health and wellness tracker.

Just in case you weren’t aware, you can’t use enzymatic laundry powder with merino because it will dissolve it and cause those holes. For years I thought I was going too hard on them or the holes were coming from moths, but then I read about it online. My merino gear now lasts a lot longer now that I wash it separately and with non-enzymatic powder.

Not on iOS.

I see the idea that art is a form of money laundering a lot online but I’m not sure I understand the mechanism of how that works. Can you explain it?

Thanks so much for sharing, that was a fun read.

I’m not sure I understand the point…

I don’t think many (if any) backpackers are taking a camp cot with them? I imagine most are using an inflatable sleep pad or a foam sleep mat.

Can you explain this? Why would they be in favour of outing someone against their will? I’m genuinely curious because on the surface it seems very cruel.

Sure, but this schedule is like, maybe 5 hours of sleep per night. Other than an extreme minority of people, there’s no way you can be operating on that for long and doing your best work. A good 8 hours per night will make most people a better engineer and a better person to be around.

I believe you only have to pay to put your app on the App Store. I’ve made apps for my iPhone before and never had to pay.

I generally view at people interacting with AI agents to build a product and then interacting with the product to give feedback to the agent. I.e. not much actual code review going on.

Can it really be called an expression of yourself when you don’t write the lyrics or have any musical input on the song? This sounds more like having an idea for a song rather than an actual expression of yourself.

Would you still call it an expression of yourself if you paid an artist to write a song for you around an idea you had? I don’t think most people would generally refer to it as “expressing themselves” when they commission another artist.

I see this line of thinking online a lot, with people mentioning kids are excluded because they have green bubbles as if it’s some sort of highly superficial exclusion based on only wanting to talk to Apple users.

The main issue is that including a non-iMessage user changes the protocol of the group chat from iMessage to SMS and SMS can basically make group chats unusable.

I also don’t like that kids who don’t have an iPhone can’t participate in iMessage group chats, but when we make out like it’s just kids being cruel and not an actual functional incentive to not include those kids then we are losing sight of where the pressure should be applied.

I don’t like to give unsolicited medical advice, but if you haven’t, it could be worth looking into a fibre supplement like Metamucil. I just take the capsules so I don’t have to worry about having the drink and for me it’s a night and day difference compared to when I don’t get it. That said, I’ve never been as severe as you by the sounds.

I think a lot of people collect vinyl less for nostalgia reasons and more so to have a physical collection of their music. I think vinyl wins over CDs just due to how it’s larger and the cover art often looks better as a result.

True but this only blocks ads in the browser.

Why is that?

There is genuinely a lot of padding going on to make videos around 12 min long when they could have easily been a couple of minutes. Certainly some topics have enough complexity to produce a longer video, but a lot of YouTube is artificially padded these days for ad revenue.
