Children do not want child locked devices and they will find alternatives

Everyone knows the real money is in AI generated articles about AI

They should automate reading hacker news comments and generating PRs to address them

Looks like it's GAIA by Marco Cochrane, I remember seeing it out in the desert. It looks like it might not be related to Waymo and just on the adjacent property

The success of Facebook basically proves that public brand perception does not matter at all

Unfortunate that they chose python instead of bash as the wrapper. Bash would have wider interoperability across languages and workflows that don't touch python. It would also expose more performant tools.

Forcing iPad support seems like tying. I wonder if this will finally get Instagram to release an iPad app.

They don't put MacOS on iPad because they want MacOS to slowly die and make App Store the only way to install software. This has nothing to do with cannibalizing Mac.

I have found that using LLMs to generate queries for Overpass (Open street map query language) works really well. Great alternative if you don't care to deal with corporate nonsense.

The only thing people really do for extended periods of time in these headsets is play gorilla tag, highly skewed towards young kids.

New comment by polyomino in "California age verification bill backed by Google, Meta, OpenAI heads to Newsom"

polyomino — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:11:42 +0000

The MPAA's argument against this bill is a complete joke:

>MPA urged state lawmakers to reject Wicks’ bill this week in a letter, obtained by POLITICO, claiming device-based age checks may sow confusion; for example, if parents and kids had separate Netflix profiles under one account that’s logged in on multiple devices.

To the point where I'm asking if someone needs some token opposition to frame this obvious bill a political win?

polyomino — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 20:13:31 +0000

Liquid glass design paradigm only works on reprojected displays. Additive displays can't replicate the distortions along the edges of the elements for both optical focus reasons and because you can see through the element.

We encountered this problem when converting audio only LLM applications to visual + audio. The visuals would increase latency by a lot since they need to be parsed completely before displaying, whereas you can just play audio token by token and wait for the LLM to generate the next one while audio is playing.

Well, they clearly have no idea what they’re talking about. Next!
