This is AI at work
Apple Container is an interesting work in progress: https://github.com/apple/container
It seems like Opus is a lot slower than Fable, or it’s throttled

The hardware side doesn’t make sense as much anymore. I mean if we have these massive cloud datacenters for AI and people can’t even have disc copies then why
This sucks. It’s better to have physical copies for retro gaming down the road

“The only people I've heard saying that generated code is fine are those who don't read it.” Are you sure these people aren’t busy working rather than chatting? (haha)

But in all seriousness it depends on what you’re doing with it. Writing a quick tool using an LLM is much easier than context changing to write it yourself. If you need the tool, that’s very valuable.

The fact that they’d exclude “.git” and other things without being transparent about it is scandalous

If you try to create a new iOS/macOS software project and sign it with a "com.apple." prefix in the bundle ID, Apple's system blocks it… for example.

It's pretty clear this type of ID'ing is an issue in general, unfortunately. Companies often protect themselves as a band-aid but not others in the same situations since the problems aren't frequent enough to warrant a design change. So, when it does become a problem, it could end up being a deep one.

are they vibe coding?

Been waiting for this
the sad thing about this is what made it magical before was the people that were on there, and it’s impossible to get that back now!

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44519452 I just posted that the Foundation Models aren’t really delivering much confidence
this is cool but does it meet strong safety standards?
Are TikTok users being steered to anti-Elon content as retaliation for DOGE or something?

Ask HN: Is anyone experiencing "AI brain rot?"

I’ve noticed that the more often I ask for AI assistance or “vibe code” things, the less sharp I am at solving difficult challenges of a similar nature the next time.Has anyone else felt the boost brings weakness at times when you need to show strength?
