Not trying to argue but you can indeed pretty much completely avoid Xcode at this point. I’ve been doing it the past few weeks, including pushing to my phone and AppStore connect

> separate the audio system from your car

I was responding to a comment about the security implications of letting the infotainment system interact with the vehicle controls, and I referenced an incident where someone compromised a car via that.

I have no idea how CarPlay would compromise your phone given apples sandbox but whomever finds it is gonna have a multimillion dollar payday since iOS jailbreaks are quite valuable.

It was not well understood that it would stop being subsidized without notice.

Does that just not matter in modern society? I’m an asshole for expecting the product I pay for on day 1 to be the same on day 8 and 29 of a 30-days subscription?

My comment was about the rapid and sudden cost spike of something happening unexpectedly.

They announced 2x tokens with months of notice. This announced this with no notice.

Me as an individual making a go solo is not the same as thousands of funded businesses having free credits, subsidized plans and bottomless AI budgets.

For a short period this was a massive equalizer. Now it’s a tool for those who can afford it. That’s a big shift.

Why is it that a person cannot express their own circumstances or opinions on this site without it turning into an argument? It’s so deflating.

I guess it’s my bad for trying to do more than I could otherwise do alone.

They could also do a plan 3 where they discourage others so they can use it to, say, rapidly build many new products but competitors would have to pay a fortune for the same luxury

Just spitballing.

I have no idea what I’m getting for $200/mo at this point. Maybe that’s on me, idk.

The only catch is that you’ve spent many $1 and you don’t get any of those $10s unless you get over the finish line

In that sense your analogy is kinda good. I totally agree the current situation is like getting my solo start up funded and subsidized … but with only like 4 months runway now that the prices are skyrocketing, vs ~2+ for a typical YC venture

I agree with you there, but I think that may be the only reason this app isn’t cast in a darker light.

I can also imagine that with SF living expenses that there are a lot of people without a big safety net

I don’t really mean for this to be related to any one person. The general population doesn’t have a choice but to sign terms and get the severance , in general, in America

I avoided Claude code and such the first few months because I thought it was all billed by the API. Which I knew was not worth it to me at all.

Then I realized I was an idiot and this was magic.

But it now seems more like an introductory offer to use the API, as opposed to an alternative product / way to use their API product.

I thought it would get increasingly expensive, like say the $200 plan becomes $400.

Switching these plans to API metering doesn’t feel like it’s a separate product anymore?

Yeah totally. I’m just surprised they did this AND ended the 2x promo simultaneously.

I had my hopes up to switch to local but my first few passes didn’t pan out with that so far. But I’m optimistic it’ll land soon.

I think I need to lower my ambitions too. I got my hopes up since AI can do everything but how long it takes to do it right can really drag on

Yeah the ops alone is a huge win. It’s such a win I didn’t even think to mention it ha.

Dangerous too of course. So many times I’ve had subtle unexpected side effects. But it’s all about pinning thins down well and that’s what we’re all still figuring out well

I’ve pivoted to writing native iOS, macOS, windows, Linux apps. Most of my career has been front end web. It would take me awhile just to learn and practice, vs having my visions working in hours or days

I’m not ready to unveil the thing I alluded to, it’s important to me that it’s good and polished. But I’ve done quite well so far developing in Swift, Rust, Go, and coming up with marketing and design — things I definitely couldn’t do by hand without a lot more time and effort.

https://poolometer.com/ Is one of the things I’m almost ready to call ready. So much domain expertise or tedious math involved — I simply wouldn’t have bothered on my own, pre-AI

I agree it’s a huge existential risk that everyone is also amazing. So far that’s not true. I get hung up on a lot of little quirks, like getting Dolby Vision to play properly on Apple Silicon without Vulcan. Something I accomplished after about 2 weeks of relentless determination.

To be clear I’m just trying to answer your questions honestly. I understand the situation. It’s almost to my benefit the harder it is for non Software Engineers. But in our current reality, when I’m not launched yet, it’s more stress

Absolutely not. I took on some thins that would normally take 5-10 people and many months.

Some people are turn out slop. I was really excited to try and make some impressive shit. My whole life has been dedicated to trying to embody what Apple preached in the early days.

I knew this was coming, but I thought I had a little more time to try and get them over the finish line, ya know?

Maintenance by hand might be achievable, but it’s extremely hard when you’ve built something really big.

I’ve only got so much savings left to live on.

I’m not saying anyone owes me anything, but we all need to pivot and in a lot less sure my pivot is going to work out now

It’s kind of a rug pull to effectively raise the price like 10x. I can’t afford to finish some of my projects with this change

“Sign this or starve” isn’t much of a stretch when you think about it

Pretty sure Jeep was hacked via their infotainment system and remotely driven (by researcher Charlie Miller)

So it’s actually kind of a real thing

Shhhhh stop telling them! We don’t need more competition :)

Because the machine is a tool and tools use proper and improper usage.

It’s increasingly apparent to me that even when it’s not the republicans, it’s still the republicans. Eg education and how incredibly stupid many otherwise good, lovable and loving people are. They cheer for growing the population AND suppressing them so that they can extract their votes.

It’s so blatant and so disgusting.. and yet the realization has no effect. Just like when the church pedophiles were exposed (literally next door) it had no effect whatsoever on their congregation.

Human patterns are disappointing.

Hacked

Trump is currently in office ;)

I guarantee you that if you used both you’d prefer the Air.

What advantage does the Neo’s keyboard have have over the keyboard that’s identical in all other modern Macs?

I believe it's changed a lot since it was initially debut'd via the betas. And there was that Supabase post mocking it, where they made the whole UI glass, and that biased me a bit ha

if you’ve ever read Electrek, you’d know their articles primary purpose is raising awareness that Tesla is full of shit

It is wild that ya'll are hating on a website that visualizes data. That's like table stakes standard common practice for software engineers for decades.

This is the equivalence of telling a Designer that can't create infographics on anything but principled design subjects -- or else they're out of line. Any research or data they might use isn't relevant because they're not exerts? lol?

pro tip: don't

It did/does absolutely kick ass and 16GB is better. They’re not at odds with each other :D

You’re suggesting that a difference of the entirety of the M5 Max’s bandwidth is an insignificant gap!

Their account only existing 2d lends you a lot of credibility..

That’s wild. And scary.
