if it could wver be quantified, i bet it's a net $ loss. and apples esteemed image is ostensibly very important to them. why the hell do apple execs think different?

and yet you have to restrain yourself from ever capitalizing on that, because not advertising to that market is what got you that market in the first place

Just checked, they can. Phew. If the forwarding alias was detectable/always used the same schema, that'd also make them borderline useless, just like the `privaterelay` subdomain

the problem with it is entirely cultural. why is `IStatusChangeEntityCreationManagerFactory` everywhere?

and why are the frameworks so huge and all encompassing? i think batteries included rails-style frameworks are great, but when i wrote Java, it didn't feel like rails at all

none of these are language problems

for now all they've got is english, so they'll just bend that into shape. it'll do.

- OAIs models are much more token efficient. in some cases their new mythos-level model uses 1/4th of the tokens that mythos does.

- they reportedly have recently found another way to decrease compute needed "by half" in a breakthrough

- early on, they ensured they have much more compute ready, whereas Anthropic had to disable new users signing up because they ran out of compute

- OAI has fewer users (5mln codex users vs, what, 10mln claude code users?)

The same models that can find these exploits can also help fix them, thus everyone will be better off.

Relying on the fact that nobody has found a security issue with a piece of software yet is not a great way to ensure safety

seems like the politicians are finally realizing what we've all been up to

and after staking the economy on AI, you can't really put a cap on intelligence. if models are not allowed to be better than Opus 4.8, then the whole investment structure is about to unravel.

why invest billions and billions into AI if returns are artificially capped?

I do think 60B for Cursor is way overvalued. Just not sure how to quantify

That said, it can't handle legal/refund/complicated requests and just forwards to a human for those

I used to get a response within 24 hours back in the Claude 1 days.

In January 2026, it took 2 weeks.

For my latest support inquiry, I've been waiting for over 8 weeks for a response. Eight!

EDIT: I misread. This comment previously talked about 50 million lines being migrated. Instead, in a 50M LOC codebase, one specific codebase-wide migration was done.

Very impressive, but obviously not on the order of a whole-codebase migration

I'm not even entirely against genmoji. It's just odd for Apple to do.

and usually they don't care about glaring omissions like this, either: iPadOS was lacking a calculator for yeeeeaaaars.

they repeatedly said they'd ship a calculator if they can do something special for its introduction, and only then.

so why did they lose their hesitancy to ship mediocre stuff here?

though monopolistic practices are unequivocally bad and used to get struck down. one may argue this is just another instance of disallowing monopolistic behavior.

the DOJ used to have sharper fangs than what the EU is doing now
