I do not experience any regressions, I don't really notice much difference either.

because imagine starting work every week and finding that your dumb ass CEO pivoted the company again and is ruining other peoples lives, and he then reorgs the management again so you now have your 5th leader this year.

Morale and momentum are huge things in companies, Zuck has been murdering both of those in Meta since... well naming it Meta.

Apple: adblocking, PWA being put in a odd spot, surely to be followed by a post "nobody was using it" before being removed, if they mention it at all.

Google: ad blocking

I cannot use a browser that is owned by a company who's financial model is dependent upon browsers being nerfed.

Apple and Google have far too many incentives to wall garden browsers, Apple due to the app store, Google due to advertising.

Independent browsers are the only safe path forward.

There is already every form of content, hundreds of times over, for almost every K12 topic.

The problem hasn't been content for nearly a decade.

Yeah I recently went to a Find N6 and the battery life is quite literally 40% more than a Pixel. Not to mention the performance is significantly better.

Obviously as a folding phone it's more expensive, but it's leagues ahead of the Pixel Fold as well.

I really hate that they added mouse integration with Claude Code.

Nothing like it prompting you for an answer and you click on to the terminal accidentally, resulting in you choosing an answer.

Thank you for creating an alternative to the toxic mermaid renderer on their website.

Trying to monetize Mermaid was disgusting and honestly rings to me like trying to monetize Markdown.

When they increased prices to $900 for roughly the same quality as Samsung it was doomed.

The OnePlus 7 was such an amazing phone and honestly I remember buying a Pixel after it and realizing how crappy Tensor was and well optimized OnePlus was.

I don't think an LLM would propose this terrible method ever, at least not any of the big 3.

I've been debating switching my blog to a vlog that is a one shot recording, no retakes, just real thoughts and advice in real time.

I've joked with friends its the "Farm to table" for thoughts, at least as much as it can be. Obviously you can just recite a LLM output, but that's more work IMO.

All of them are going to read your secrets, OpenCode does it too.

Reality is, I have seen agents read .env, bash history, keychain (if you let them), etc.

There is quite literally no way you are going to save off just your little secret somewhere it won't be able to read it, all software needs to read it ~eventually~

So it's best to sandbox and reset credentials frequently.

I think this is where people start to consider you a "Luddite".

Is it bad that you used a computer and Google and lifted information from other people to accomplish a task?

My father is a machinist and has built has knowledge off the skills and documentation of thousands before him, is that empty?

You still have to do the actual work, and where do you draw the line on "shipping more". If a farmer now has an automated tractor, does that mean his work is now trivial?

I am very curious what your Claude thread looks like. I have never had Claude swap languages, in fact my experience is the opposite, sometimes it holds on too much when working on a large code base.

Likely benchmaxxed. You see it in Qwen and other smaller models all the time.

Feel like the intro video is very odd.

Basically have an older lady (not their target audience) blatantly reading a teleprompter.

Why are they going after this audience? Retired people have no use for delegated tasks or information. They also are the least likely to use it and not get frustrated.

Looking at how much work GitLab has to do due to abuse of being open, I don't blame anyone for wanting to make that change.
