> Feedback helps, right. But if you've got a problem where a simple, contained feedback loop isn't that easy to build, the only source of feedback is yourself. And that's when you are exposed to the stupidity of current AI models.
That's exactly the point. Modern coding agents aren't smart software engineers per se; they're very very good goal-seekers whose unit of work is code. They need automatable feedback loops.
Thanks! Getting all the possibly-relevant related code isn't too hard; the hard part is filtering down to what's relevant. So I think specific use cases (e.g. "how do I get from a known entry point to some method/property/etc") is gonna be key.
I read that sentence as saying someone came up with a cost estimate of $142.7b to clean up everything, and then there's a comparison to 3M's $53b market cap for scale/comparison.
> Apps like Bear, Reeder, Anybox, Things 3, make switching devices seamless
I think Apple's whole point is that they provide the APIs so that apps can do this themselves. Which, yeah, is a bit disappointing; I'd love to have a 100% fidelity, flick-to-another-device type of Continuity built into the OS, but the APIs are at least a starting point.
Consider storing the data on Backblaze B2 ($0.005/GB/month) and serving content via Cloudflare (egress from B2 to Cloudflare is free through their Bandwidth Alliance).
(No affiliation with either; just a happy customer for a tiny personal project)
I'm working on an app to browse a codebase as a list of constructs — classes, methods, etc. It matches how I think about code: as a database of named entities, in which the implementation is often an afterthought — unlike text editors, in which constructs of various types, along with their implementation, all kind of look the same. It's still a very early project, but here's a short recording of some of what I've built so far[^0]. It's been a great way to learn SwiftUI, the Language Server Protocol, and FSEvents as well!
The part that Siri is bad at will be commoditized — someone will open-source a GPT-4-level language model. And Apple's moat will be being able to run that on-device with all the attendant benefits (privacy, zero marginal cost to the company, availability in more scenarios, etc)
A well-adjusted person should be able to signal some degree of confidence about what they're saying ("I know that…", "I think that…", "Maaaaaaybe…", etc). That's an anspect that ChatGPT doesn't have.
Is your photo library on a spinning hard drive or USB drive? I had this problem before which the setup, and it went away when I moved my library to my internal SSD.
I understand and partly agree with your sentiment, but "offsetting" technologies/components are all over the place. E.g. combustion engines also need mufflers, catalytic converters, etc.
Cost-per-mile is cheaper from electricity than from diesel, and it's expected to have lower maintenance costs too (fewer moving parts, no oil changes, etc)
It depends on your time horizon. Lots of people deride Chamath's SPACs, but several of them traded well above their initial $10 price for 1.5+ years until the market started dropping at the beginning of this year.
