I'm curious about how their internal policies work such that they are allowed to publish a post mortem this quickly, and with this much transparency. Any other large-ish company, there would be l…

Coincidence? Yes

It's down here in Sydney as well. The status page hasn't been updated to reflect that

There's definitely a sense that most NLP use-cases have been made obsolete by LLMs

Maybe I'm cynical, but what I'm wondering is which country's regulation led to Apple being forced to do this

I travelled from Sydney to Cape Town a while back. Both cities are roughly on the same latitude, and it shows. The climate was similar, temperatures were similar, even the type of vegetation that show…

Those comments are probably AI as well

People thought video games would turn people violent, turns out it was social media that did it

This comment is spot on. One minor thing I would quibble about are fans being sufficient. The problem is less about the heat and more about the constant high humidity, and fans don't solve that p…

I recently learned this, but the reason Steam offers 2-hour no-questions-asked full refunds was partially because of a lawsuit by the ACCC

I nearly missed that this article was written by Corey Quinn, guy who writes a lot about AWS

Oh wow, this is actually useful

Without AI you'd still need to check everything, no? It's just you reach that stage faster with LLMs doing a lot of the heavy lifting

There's a classic joke where it turns out the solution to "it works on my machine" was to ship my machine

A lot of the points also apply to Google as a search engine, yet we're still seeing Google owning about 90% of search engine usage.

Imagine making money from Prime ripping people off, and then making money reporting on how Prime is ripping people off

I suppose stock buybacks are similar to dividends in that regard

On the contrary, this will end with wells

I guess technically speaking, the world's cheapest source of power is nuclear fusion!

Yeah, something we are confident about is that a) training is where the bulk of an AI system's energy usage goes (based on a report released by Mistral) b) video generation is very likely a few o…

Real ones remember C&C, Red Alert and Generals (RIP Westwood Studios)

As someone who grew up in a tropical country and has moved to a temperate one, this rings very true. It is significantly easier to walk in 20C, 50% humidity than to walk the same distance in 28C, 100%…

Someone (Rich Hickey?) described this as a piano that doesn't make a sound until you play the piece perfectly, and that analogy has stuck with me since.

There's the additional headaches of a) managing auth in a distributed manner, and b) figuring out how to evolve the data model across all participating clients. CRDTs are a complicated way to sol…

AppCode gave you an IntelliJ-like experience, and personally I found it significantly better than Xcode when writing code. But the friction of needing to keep around Xcode anyway whenever you wanted t…

If I remember correctly, you still needed Xcode to actually compile and run the code, because of restrictions imposed by Apple.

"Here's how overspending on my wedding improved B2B SaaS sales"

Is this not how microchips are made?
