That is because they know the users. Users are very sensitive to this: if the outside wasn't changed then the internals cannot be much improved. You see this with cars, cars need a new design otherwise customer will think nothing much changed. Customer will usually buy newer over better because they think newer must have improvements, and styling signals new. Same with computers, all the disappointments when apple releases a new macbook without changing the exterior....

Generating software still token costs, generating something like ms-word will still cost a significant amount, takes a lot of human effort to prompt and validate. Having a proven solution still has value.

You can already generate surprisingly complex software on an LLM on a raspberry pi now, including live voice assistance, all offline. Peoples hardware can self write software pretty readily now. The cost of tokens is a race to zero.

That is not what i'm seeing. I've been coding intensively with claude code for the last 3 months: 200k lines of go, 1200+ commits, mostly using opus. I don't think i could have done this with a local LLM. Maybe on a M5 pro?

Same here, not a flat but rely on street parking. There's at least 20 public charging points in walking distance of my home.

What is the claude linked repo with the highest number of stars?

Wouldn’t skills already solve this? A harness can start a new agent with a specific skill if it thinks that makes sense.

Assume you work for e.g., a cigarette company. A company responsible for many deaths by unethically adding highly addictive substances. By sabotaging the company you are making this world a better place. Ethically it's the right thing to do.

Or, assume you're hired by the Nazi to work in concentration camps. Ethically it's the right thing to do to sabotage their gas chambers.

I'm currently a product manager (was a software engineer and technical architect before), so i already lost the feeling of ownership of code. But just like when you're doing product management with a team of software engineers, testers, and UXers, with AI you can still feel ownership of the feature or capability you're shipping. So from my perspective, nothing changes regarding ownership.

> So from my perspective, nothing changes regarding ownership.

The engineer who worked with you took ownership of the code! Have you forgotten this?

No, that’s why I wrote “from my perspective”. I started long ago writing 6502 and 68000 assembly, later c and even later Java. Every step you lose ownership of the underlying layer. This is just another step. “But it’s non deterministic!”, yes so are developers. We need QA regardless who or what write the lines of code.

Looking at the specs of this, why would anybody need a more expensive iphone. This has everything a normal phone needs.

That’s what I thought when I bought the 16 E, but liquid glass ruined it because the GPU sucks. So buyer beware.

Just disable Liquid Glass (transparency, motion). Better UX and better UI

Does this work, i.e. does this reduce the load on the processor and battery? Did someone measure it?

I tried it, the effect is unnoticeable and it ruins the UI experience.

But to say that to use a one year old phone I need to disable screen effects on a new OS should be grounds for a lawsuit.

Well, that's it. I cannot stand HN anymore. Literally my experience is being downvted and no one commenting on why what I said was negative. And just warning people to wait to by the phone is now frowned on? Nothing but a bunch of capitalist suck up fanbois here I guess.

Same thing happened on a quantum science post. If you cannot express why you disagree with me either you are a schill or your thoughts are not solid enough.

It really depends on your interests: I use daylight for sports after work, really like being able to surf until 22:30 midsummer (52 degrees), so DST works for me. On the other hand, also don't mind the switching between wintertime and summertime, it's just like a minor jetlag we all have no problem with when going on holiday.

>it's just like a minor jetlag we all have no problem with when going on holiday.

I can only say speak for yourself, some of us have major problems with jet lag. Especially as someone on the west coast, I am exhausted any time I have to travel east for work

East-West in US is a lot different to a 1 hour shift. Hence minor jetlag.

Biggest downside of CLI for me is that it needs to run in a container. You're allowing the agent to run CLI tools, so you need to limit what it can do.

It gets significantly harder to isolate the authentication details when the model has access to a shell, even in a container. The CLI tool that the model is running may need to access the environment or some credentials file, and what's to stop the model from accessing those credentials directly?

It breaks most assumptions we have about the shell's security model.

Couldn't that be solved by whitelisting specific commands?

Give it a try, and challenge yourself (or ChatGPT) to break it.

You'll quickly realize that this is not feasible.

Such a mechanism would need to be implemented at `execve`, because it would be too easy for the model to stuff the command inside a script or other executable.
