I don’t know about ChatGPT, but in Claude Code I _have_ been able to do a side-by-side comparison of API-based metered billing vs subscription billing, in the same UI. You just switch from one to the other using /login.
You should probably not be so quick to dismiss what people say as nonsense.
Compared with the other examples you gave, I think one of the differences with micro- and nanoplastic and their growing bioaccumulation, is that if/when we discover that some level of concentration of it causes noticeable issues, it will be very hard to reverse, and it will be globally abundant (i.e. throughout the entire food chain). We'll be stuck with the problem for a very very long time.
It's not like we'll be able to just outlaw it and be done with the issue after a few years. So for this specific polluant, it feels right that we should be cautious and look for solutions as quickly as we can.
At our company, out of the 8 engineers I hired, only 2 had specific experience with our backend (Elixir) or frontend (Flutter) stack. I hired for apparence of talent, experience in some other equivalent stack and the right attitude towards learning.
All of them got productive rather quickly and had PRs shipping to prod in the same week, if not within a couple days.
I’m not saying it _will_ go as smoothly for anyone else, but if you have the right environment and pick the right people, as an employer you’re better off being flexible with experience.
Looks awesome! Quick note about the landing page: the GIF captures in the "How it works" section are a bit vertically stretched, weirdly pixellated and really too quick to understand what's going on.
Disclaimer: I have a company and I've started a few in the past.
My take is that the loyalty a company has towards a given employee cannot be the same, simply because it lacks the emotional basis that usually makes that loyalty as strong and/or as irrational. It's completely a matter of company culture which, in most cases, isn't very empathic to employees.
I don't think lack of loyalty is a rule though. I think that if the company culture is set up properly, it can totally have some form of valuable, albeit different, loyalty towards its employees.

... and rightfully so. Unlike "minimum" or "product", people's interpretation of "viable" is so subjective, it will end up being influenced by the founders' experience, personality and so forth.

As the author states, the idea of abstracting away the complexity of creating user interfaces isn't new, but I think it's wrong to think we could one day create tools that lets you do that without having to write code and still keep all the flexibility of going sufficiently low-level. An application platform usually gives you low-level building blocks (e.g. Core Animation) and higher-level ones (e.g. UIControl and family). You can construct visual tools to manipulate the latter, but you can't do the same with the former, since they're much more than just position and parameters. Reducing this difference in complexity by blaming it on the tools is misguided IMHO.
There an inherent complexity in coding that isn't its weakness but rather it's advantage. You can't abstract away coding just like you can't abstract away human language or writing. Could you substitute an essay with a very detailed painting?
For the video simulations you're suggesting, they would have to slow everything down for us to see the difference, which would kind of break the realism they showed until then.
Also, the glowing trail thing would be a great way only for creatures like us humans, with slowly refreshing visual brains to handle information coming from faster refreshing retinas. But I have to imagine cats have their brains appropriately tuned for the refresh rate if their retinas and see movements clearly, with great detail in the time dimension.
What we know is that it seems possible, when looking at the system externally, for them to perform MITM attacks. What we don't know is if their system internally makes it possible for anyone inside apple to intercept and read those messages, with or without an order from the NSA. They could very well have told us the truth!
One can argue that science will always have a hard time constructing an accurate model for predicting weather, because of its inherent humongous complexity and nonlinear behavior:
> [...] we provide a number of illustrative examples and highlight key mechanisms that give rise to nonlinear behavior, address scale and methodological issues, suggest a robust alternative to prediction that is based on using integrated assessments within the framework of vulnerability studies and, lastly, recommend a number of research priorities and the establishment of education programs in Earth Systems Science.
