- Absolutely, the qualifiers are mostly because I am not knowledgeable to say what caused the situation _now_, not because the facts of the US backed coup damaging Iran are at all in dispute.
- I personally am not well read on this, but I know lot of people blame the US and the UK since after they overthrew the democratically elected socialist government and installed a brutal dictator[0], the only elements that survived to oppose the dictatorship were hardened islamists, who later took power from the US backed Shah[1]

- not sure I understand, I read a lot of research papers from China.
- Huh, maybe your use case is around the indexing of the contents of attachments? I basically never search for the contents of attachments, just the clip does of emails, and have found gmail search to be really good. I switched back to the web client from Mac’s native mail app for this reason because search has been so good for me in Gmail.
I haven’t looked, but I wonder if there is a good hackable email client that will let you substitute out the search index with a reasonable abstraction from all the complicated email protocol stuff. I feel like building an index for your use case is totally achievable if so.
- 1 and 3, straight to jail. 2 is fine
- I am not sure what you mean by “why is the research wrong?”
- If management can measure it. But in practice, the problem of course is the extra marketing of your good work against the marketing of all the ai firms trying to sell to your boss.
Many firms are unable to accurately measure the quality of research work and so they will be duped by the alternative marketing. The market can correct for this on a long enough time horizon if a competitor takes the opposite bet on whether this job is automate-able that way, but in the meantime you are probably out of a job and your equity goes down.
- My hot (maybe just warm these days) take is, the problem with voice assistants on phones is they have to be able to have reasonable responses to a long tail or users will learn not to use them, since the use cases aren’t discoverable and the primarily value is talking to it like a person.
So voice assistants backed by very large LLMs over the network are going to win even if we solve the (substantial) battery usage issue.
- They said it was impossible for them to build a backdoor into iOS that would only be accessible to legal requests from law enforcement, which is true in the strict sense. So law enforcement bought a vulnerability exploit from a third party.
- You can Apple Pay through the Apple Nose
- That’s how it turned out, but IIRC at the time of OpenAI’s founding, “AI” was search and RL which Google and deep mind were dominating, and self driving, which Waymo was leading. And OpenAI was conceptualized as a research org to compete. A lot has changed and OpenAI has been good at seeing around those corners.
- Idk, this is kinda like changing the user agent string to chrome for another browser to show that you have feature parity - it’s a hack but there aren’t good ways to signal which devices support some features of the AirPods.
They can and should do better though by android.
- Step 1: get off hn and talk to users.
- Having tried a janky version of this myself with a NOTES directory, I am very bearish on this being a better workflow than just improving the ui wrapper around git worktrees and the isolation that provides.
Codex already has a fantastic review mode, and gemini / claude are building tools around pr review that work no matter how that pr was produced, so I think this interface is going to get baked in to how agents work in the near term.
- I feel the opposite way, that git branching and merging will become a bigger part of the job as more code is written by agents in parallel and then accepted by other agents or humans.
- Yes, stores are dealing with this alongside a whole legal framework today. They would not have the benefit of that for any changes without pennies, and in a few cases may open themselves to legal liability by underpaying state sales tax, overcharging snap recipients, etc etc. We don’t know because this was just a tweet decree by the executive while the legislature has been paralyzed.
- Well, this is happening without legislation mandating it (that’s kinda the problem, our federal legislature doesn’t legislate much and is being largely ignored)
- There are a lot of solutions, as everyone has mentioned. The problem is not hard, it’s “what color to paint the bikeshed” territory. But we’re still having to solve a problem on a tight deadline based on a tweeted proclamation with no federal legislature specifying exactly what solutions are allowed and what solutions conflict with existing law.
It feels like this is increasingly the case. Not sure what the solutions are.
