where do I find the paid option? I can not find that on their product page.
There are only two options I can see; one "Available at no charge" and another one "Coming soon - For organizations"
Can you upgrade in the IDE? It would be strange that Google has a performance problem for paid users while I do not experience any such issues at all with Claude and Codex.
>What specifically does an agentic OS UX look like beyond giving claude access to local files and a browser?
Providing the structure of a unified framework: APIs, safeguards, routing to the appropriate model or pipeline, and controlled access to devices and data. The capability is already there. What’s missing is a sane permission system that operates at the level of intent. Having used OpenClaw, that’s IMO the missing piece. It’s a fun experience, but in its current state I would not trust it to autonomously run any meaningful part of my life.
UX-wise, chat is kind of a crutch. It’s slow and inherently limiting. I imagine something closer to a natural, ongoing conversation paired with an execution layer: some sort of approval or review dashboard where planned actions are ready for approval or returned for refinment before they happen. Probably with a conservative moderator agent in the loop that flags things based on preferences and hard-coded policies.
Calling it an OS isn’t accurate, I agree. But that's how people will perceive it. Most people already think of the application layer on Android as "the OS," not the kernel or drivers. This will be the first-class interface on your device, so that’s what it gets called. It doesn’t mean browsers or dedicated applications go away.
Three years ago I would not have thought the IDE would stop being the application I spend most of my time in. Now it’s mostly a passive code viewer and Git browser.
Compare that to everyday workflows. Researching anything still feels incredibly antiquated. Buying a phone, planning a vacation, comparing options means opening dozens of tabs, copy-pasting specs or prices into spreadsheets, reading through fine print, dealing with low-quality or honestly untrustworthy reviews, checking distances manually on maps. It’s boring and tedious work.
Meanwhile, in a professional life, these systems already behave like a team of secretaries: always available, reasonably competent, and scalable. Not perfect, but easily good enough to offload a huge amount of cognitive overhead.
- "summarize the discussions on hacker news of last week based on what I would find interesting".
- "Plan my summer vacation with my family, suggest different options"
- "Look at my household budget and find ways to be more frugal."
There are thousands of things I can think of when it comes to how an agentic OS would work better than the current Screen Keyboard paradigm. I mean all these things I could now do with Claude or Codex and some of these things I already do with these tools.
I think you misunderstood. It is not based on "feel" and the greater procedural leeway they provide the party with the perceived or actual weaker argument is not for appearance sake alone. A judge wants both parties to make their best case and if one party fails to do so, they try to help them along to achieve it.
most experts in that field do not have access to a quantum computer. For the longest times it was a very theoretical field.
Having access to a physical machine will not help you for 99% of the knowledge you can acquire in that field right now.
Test your code against Firefox. I've encountered many bugs (mostly small and non-breaking issues) in major enterprise SPAs which happened because the developers only did their stuff in Chrome. Little things, like spans acting as check-boxes (why?) only being selectable via keyboard, or custom tool tips not aligning with elements come to mind. But also breaking issues, like using APIs that only just landed in Chrome or assuming the non-standard behavior of the Chrome behavior is the actual standard across all browsers.
You can find a picture of what the data you capture looks like in the "Taking Data" page in the tutorials.
Unfortunately the "Analysis" page is "under construction". But you won't get photographs, like you would get from an optical telescope.
Now add to it people that use machines with different language settings. On my own devices English, but clients provide clients in German, Italian or Dutch. With icons and limited language skills it did not matter. But finding the item without exactly knowing what term is used is really frustrating.
Can't you be worried about both? In the EU you at least theoretically have legal recourse. But these issues go hand in hand, as surveillance data sharing programs like Five Eyes have shown.
What do you mean with vitriol? The handling of personal data by the United States government is just an unsolved problem that has to be dealt with. How is Google going to lock the data in the EU, in a way that it can't be grabbed by the unbound US surveillance apparatus?
Or I just am not in the mood again. If I do not like something I want a way to tell the engine that and not be afraid of skipping my favorite songs because I want to listen to them at another time.
I think alogrithms are great but feel really frustrated and helpless because it somehow became impossible to explicilty give it signals or tweak it. It's like living together with someone who always tries to guess your needs but you are not allowed to talk to them. That's just a broken system.
Do you know if the algorithm takes that into account?
I also became suspect of the behavior of the skip button, I sometimes skip songs of artists I really like and could observe that I did not get them recommended anymore until I explictly played a song of them. Of course this could be just random luck but it made me careful to skip my favorite songs and instead I open the playlist and select the next song.
I see the benefits for these features, but do not see why the bar had to become that obtrusive in appearance and behavior for them.
But for me these features are useless at best and a distraction in practice, I don't want suggestions from my browser, at all, I want to think for my self.
I use the url bar simply for entering addresses, or for copying and editing them. I completely disabled my history and what I want to remember I keep as bookmarks. When I want so search something I use the search box.
Now I better understand why they butchered the address bar the way they did.
Instead of treating it like simple form element their change served one point and one point only, draw attention to it and make it more prominent. And the reason for it was just to serve their ads on a bigger and more intrusive canvas and not UX related.
That buildings shield reception is not a political issue but a physical limitation.
When I'm in my super market I know that I will not have reception in the back, same in the underground part of my fitness center.
PII can be anything unique tied to a person. email addresses are definitely PII. even if you have not the full name of a person in the address, such an address usually is unique to a single person and as such one of the best identifiers you will usually have.
speed of the lookup was not a limiting factor and felt instantaneous. the problem was more short words for which there were too many suggestions and a bad or non existing ranking system and missing words in the dictionary. very similar to swipe keyboards but more precise and faster
When you pay them you have safe passage through their territory, not only from them but from other tribes who usually want to avoid robbing people in another tribes territory.
With the taxation you not only pay them to not rob you but their presence also protects you from other robbers, who may not be willing to negotiate and just shoot you.
I really don't see a principled difference to taxation by states, the only difference is the size and a more formalized institution surround the racket.
You can decide for yourself on the morality of it, I will avoid to offer an opinion on it.
You must ask yourself what is the reason that people in London have more money. Purchasing power is not something that manifests itself out of thin air, as well as exchange rates of money.
An economy in which the people have multiple times the purchasing power must do something right. And moving people in that economy around is more valuable than moving people elsewhere.
