I don't want to write code in a browser. For python you have something like ipython which allows you to have an interactive experience, while also allowing you to have your favourite editing environment. For ocaml, surely there are also repls that provide this kind of thing.

That's a nifty insight. Engineers want to engineer. If you place an engineer in charge of social policy they will likely try to engineer social and cultural changes.
It is also reflective of the fact that mid-terms are in 2 years and election campaigning starts in 3. Even if you believe tariffs will work, there will be short term pain. Best to run through that now in the hope that economic indicators are improving come election time.
The excellent “Play”⁽¹⁾ app (available for iOS, macOS, Apple TV and Vision Pro) can also use these feeds, plus give you the ability to conveniently save other videos to “watch later”. Highly recommended!
Phone calls are for emergencies at this point. If it's not it's spam. Then Apple ruined SMS ( except for the US apparently?), nobody wants to gamble whether a message will reach a phone or the iPad sitting in a drawer still associated with the phone number.
So social things, like communicating with people, happens on social apps.
Kids also would be better with map apps, GPS, electronic payments and auto-charging bus/train pass if you expect them to have any independence.
All in all, kids should be the last ones IMHO to get real dumb phones. We might as well give them pagers if that's what we're going for.
>I'm sure there are competent people whispering evil things in his ear
They have a guy who can make the stock go up or down with a tweet, and usually seems to agree with the last thing he's heard. It's not difficult to see how this could be exploited for financial gain.
Not the OP, but I want to turn off Shorts too. I do most of my youtube access via Apple TV, so this wouldn't be an option. It just needs to be a preference!
>I don't like it when Trump does it too, but I don't understand the people acting like this is somehow a new and unprecedented thing.
Sans near-total embargoes on goods from a country, have we ever imposed sweeping tariffs of 145% on all goods coming from one of our most-imported trade partners?
tbh, as far as I'm concerned the hollowing out of the USG is why we can't do things fast. How many times has your boss had the entire team submit a proposal on how long it would take each member of the team to complete a JIRA ticket and then use that bidding as to who to assign the ticket? Like if you could build bridges and stuff in-house then you really speed things up.
It sounds a lot like you're suggesting politicians should engage in more populist messaging to make people feel heard...like railing against NAFTA even when they just have a few quibbles with its specifics?
I think a much more important question is what happens when we have no idea who's an LLM and who's a real person.
Do we accuse everybody of being an LLM? Will most threads devolve into "you're an LLM, no you're the LLM" wars? Will this give an edge to non-native English speakers, because grammatical errors are an obvious tell that somebody is human? Will LM makers get over their squeamishness and make "write like a Mexican who barely speaks English" a prompt that works and produces good results?
Maybe the whole system of anonymity on the internet gets dismantled (perhaps after uncovering a few successful llm-powered psy-ops or under the guise of child safety laws), and everybody just needs to verify their identity everywhere (or login with Google)? Maybe browser makers introduce an API to do this as anonymously and frictionlessly as possible, and it becomes the new normal without much fuss? Is turnstile ever going to get good enough to make this whole issue moot?
I think we have a very interesting few years in front of us.
He has to do everything at once because he is a lame duck president so that part makes sense. The conflicting messages sudden reversal of plans causes the biggest issues.
Normally someone makes a case and tries to sell it to the public, congress. What's the purpose of tariffs to bring in income or to bring back jobs or to level trade agreements? You can't do all things at once and how does that work with other promises like lower prices. The lack of an overall plan is causing the issue.
If you take immigration he has a plan and he stuck to it and those are where his highest approval numbers are. Imagine he one day opens the border another day closes it starts kicking out American families the next day invites the world back in. That's his trade policy.
Get a solid plan, understand the downsides and if you can live with it stick with it and keep the personal insults out.
Let’s flip this. OpenAI is valued at around $100 billion, and if you add Nvidia’s market cap increase since the LLM boom, the total impact easily grows by an order of magnitude. What portion of that came from actual private US investment into AI research?
>What I took away from this story is that I forget that there are ecosystems outside the Apple App Store.
Which is very limiting considering that the Apple ecosystem, other than for phones, is the smallest one. A lot of software companies don't even target Apple at all because it's not worth it.
They think that people are idiots and unable to deal with more that 3 search results. Or maybe they think their search is so good that the wanted video is always within those 3.
> stating plainly that he doesn't see AI replacing his employees. (Though that does immediately raise the "who brought that up?" question...)
Almost everyone who isn't highly informed in this field is worried about this. This is a completely reasonable thing to include in a memo about "forced" adoption of AI. Because excluding it induces panic in the workforce.
It is funny that this post calls out groupthink, while failing to acknowledge that they're falling into the groupthink of "CEO dumb" and "AI bad"
Forced AI adoption is nothing more than a strategy, a gamble, etc from company leadership. It may work out great, it may not, and anyone stating with conviction one way or another is lying to themselves and everyone they're shouting to. It is no different than companies going "internet-first" years ago. Doesn't have to mean that the people making the decision are "performing" for each other or that they are fascists, my god.
Imo its a great way of allowing high performers to create even more impact. A great developer typing syntax isn't valuable. Their ability to engineer solutions to challenges and problems is. Scaling that out to an entire company that believes in their people is no different, less time spent on the time-consuming functions of a job that are low-value in isolation, and more time spent on high-value functions of a job.
The Twitter/Reddit-style "snark-for-clicks" approach is disappointing to see so high on a site like this that is largely comprised of intelligent and thoughtful people.
