curious take in a year where a lot has happened

All their outputs are slop, nobody is actually working to address them.

Interestingly, Claude Design has its own completely separate usage bar.

I'd be pretty annoyed if it was burning my Claude Code quota.

So far it's burned through 45% my design quota. On a positive note, I finally have my fonts rendering. I'm still waiting for it to figure out how it mangled the SVG versions of my logo. I've watched it trying a lot of stuff for 20 minutes and now I've got something that's not my logo.

that usage page is getting really cluttered, really fast. Two months ago, mine was simply a 5 hour usage window, and the extra usage portion.

Now its 5 Hour usage, Weekly Usage, Claude Design, Daily Routine Runs, and the Extra Usage portion...

And just shut down the service which is surging.

If you have a lambda set up that normally runs a hundred times a day, and suddenly it tries to spin up 10 million instances, it should block that unless you specifically enable it.

We aren’t anywhere near AGI. They’ve consumed the entirety of human knowledge and poisoned the well, and it still can’t help but tell you to walk to the car wash.

A peasant villager was sentient without a single book, film or song. You don’t need this much data to be sentient. They’re using a stupid method, and a better one will be discovered some day.

Sentience isn't intelligence.

I mean, the biggest issue is when they persuade his model to use the N-word or make some public announcement. It's just a recipe for disaster.

The Vision Pro is the best AR/VR product ever created.

All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't come up with a killer app.

I think it was $1000 too expensive to take off. It’s also too heavy, they should drop the front screen and ruthlessly save weight.

Chicken and egg problem, if no-one buys it, no-one will develop any killer apps.

Whether it’s pleasant to have any screens that close to your eyes - or ever will be - is maybe the bigger question for VR.

> Chicken and egg problem, if no-one buys it, no-one will develop any killer apps.

Disagree on this. Going back as far as VisiCalc, it's about a device making space for a killer app, and that killer app selling devices. Apple has torched so much developer good-will that even a lower price wouldn't make the space for a killer app.

When was the last time a new, mobile-first killer app came out?

It’s not solved because it’s trash. There’s no good interface for it and people find it difficult to use.

Skill issue. It's the most popular VCS in the world by a huge margin, millions of devs use it every day just fine, countless forges have been built around it, and there's only one semi-compelling alternative frontend (jj). If you honestly find Git challenging, how are you coping with software engineering? Git is the easy part.

Millions of dev use it in the most rudimentary way, occasionally lose their stash, rm their local repo and start over, ask the office expert for help every time they need to figure out where-the-foxtrot that commit came from, don't even attempt to use reflog or bisect or interactive staging, etc.

sure, but solving conflicts is still hard in git. This can be simplified.

I didn't think Github is that bad but if you think that is the case, why would you give the same guys 17M to try again instead of fix the existing?

Because experience is valuable.

Why does it end in a stalemate if all my pieces are alive and they have none? That’s not a stalemate, I can move freely and get them.

That is a standard rule in chess. If your opponent has no legal moves (i.e. no way to move without moving his king into check) and is not currently in check, it is considered stalemate, which is a draw.

In chess they cannot move onto a spot that would put them in check. If they can make no legal moves, it's a stalemate.
