I had a similar gut reaction, but on reflection I think 4.5's is actually the better response.

On one hand, the response from 4.5 seems pretty useless to me, and I can't imagine a situation in which I would personally find value in it. On the other hand, the prompt it's responding to is also so different from how I actually use the tool that my preferences aren't super relevant. I would never give it a prompt that didn't include a clear question or direction, either explicitly or implicitly from context, but I can imagine that someone who does use it that way would actually be looking for something more in line with the 4.5 response than the 4o one. Someone who wanted the 4o response would likely phrase the prompt in a way that explicitly seeks actionable advice, or if they didn't initially then they would in a follow-up.

Where I really see value in the model being capable of that type of logic isn't in the ChatGPT use case (at least for me personally), but in API integrations. For example, customer service agents being able to handle interactions more delicately is obviously useful for a business.

All that being said, hopefully the model doesn't have too many false positives on when it should provide an "EQ"-focused response. That would get annoying pretty quickly if it kept happening while I was just trying to get information or have it complete some task.
My problem is that things don't do what I need them to do any more. I've spent years learning how to run a computer like the devil just for it to constantly amount to nothing because some asshole decided that everything needs to take the backseat to "It Just Works". More and more of the problems I run into that should be fixable by a config change, sloppy workaround, or (in the worst case) a quick patch are now just immutable facts of life. At some point the ideology has you spending more time dicking around, not less.

I'm not quite buying the 'security' argument, all recent iPhones and iPads have hardware virtualisation capabilities. Apple can simply run the 'unsafe' applications in a virtual machine, and combine that with the existing protections built into the operating system (sandboxing, sptm) and it would be fine.

Does anyone have any advice for making the most of the Dock? I find it pretty unhelpful coming from an older Windows / Linux background: I just want easy access to the windows that are open on my current workspace on my current monitor, and it seems ill-suited to that. I usually have it on auto-hide because it takes up space without providing much value.

I'm aware that I can do the three finger swipe to look at all of my windows, but that takes over my full screen and the previews constantly move location, so I can't build any muscle memory for it.

Really, I'm just looking for a classic, unobtrusive task switcher that lets me quickly navigate through what's on my screen without having to muddle through anything else (i.e. the Windows taskbar with all collapsing turned off)

Edit: I appreciate the suggestions about using Cmd+Tab or Raycast or Exposé or such, but I'm really just looking for a taskbar equivalent that doesn't require me to use a hotkey or switch "visual contexts". I want something that's persistent and shows the visible applications and their windows, and lets me click on them to raise them. A big part of this for me is being able to see what I have open at a glance, especially due to macOS's historically poor window management.

Edit edit: This is on me for using the words "task switcher" - that brings to mind Alt-Tab when I really meant to refer to the taskbar.
> Does nobody in you family own MacOS or Windows? Because there you can install malicious apps so your point is selective.

macOS doesn't allow that by default, though unlike iOS it is possible to social engineer users to launch shady apps

The range of spyware that will become possible is much bigger than potential new apps that somehow can do a good thing with a private API. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43197091
I think that's just a cover-all and they also have a privacy policy [1] which is explicit about how they use it and how they don't, for example:

"the data stays on your device and is not sent to Mozilla’s servers unless it says otherwise in this Notice."

... "When you perform a search in Firefox, your search query, device data and location data will be processed by your default search engine"

... "Mozilla derives the high level category [...] from keywords in that query [...] privacy preserving technologies such that Mozilla only learns that someone, somewhere, performed a search relating to a particular category, without knowing who."

... Review Checked, AI Chatbots, advertising on new tab page, etc.

So yea Firefox does so much they pretty much have to use your data, but it's not a blank cheque to do what they want.

[1] https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/

Not so say I like some of those things - advertising and categorizing searches. But still, it's finite and explicit.

So your opinion is that it would be better for the world if Apple was not subjected to anything that causes them to do anything different than what they would naturally do? If a country passes a law to limit conflict minerals, and it impacts Apple, we'd all be better off if Apple was just allowed to keep using conflict minerals? Apple knows how to design phones, and if they think they need to use conflict minerals, we should just trust them.

I just don't think this logic works. It's basically advocating for self-regulation, and that's historically not worked that well.

Yeah this is almost like a solution to the wrong problem. Designers often start with the information in an easily extractable form, then it gets sort of compressed in a way into blueprints / plans to communicate it, and then re-extracted for takeoffs.

BIM and other standardization is really the correct answer to this problem. This is a stop gap to cover for when/if that ever gets widely adopted.
You mums problem is not the phone. Her problem is random strangers being able to "talk her into" whatever and as an adult she is still responsible for her actions.

At some point, we have to accept that to operate things in mainstream society requires capability. It is sad when aging parents no longer meet that minimal bar, but it is part of aging for all of us if we live long enough.

At some point, we can no longer drive a car, we can hand over responsibility for finances, and medical decisions. We need a better way to manage old people on their phones.

Maybe sideloading AND "old person mode" should be options on all phones.

This rant misses two things that people always miss

On distributed. Qps scaling isn't the only reason and I suspect rarely the reason. It's mostly driven by availability needs.

It's also driven my organizational structure and teams. Two teams don't need to be fighting over the same server to deploy their code. So it gets broken out into services with clear api boundaries.

And ssh to servers might be fine for you. But systems and access are designed to protect the bottom tier of employees that will mess things up when they tweak things manually. And tweaking things by hand isn't reproducible when they break.
They replaced that paragraph with this:

> Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about “selling data“), and we don’t buy data about you. Since we strive for transparency, and the LEGAL definition of “sale of data“ is extremely broad in some places, we’ve had to step back from making the definitive statements you know and love. ...

There are valid complaints you could have about this change (for example, I wish they were more specific about the potential legal issues), but calling this selling your soul is unironically bad faith trolling.

Yet Another Form Builder
Hi Guys,

I’m planning to build a Form Builder and want to get customers as soon as possible. I’ll be developing it as a SaaS within a week and launching it right away.

I’d love to get your feedback! What features do you consider absolutely necessary in a form builder? Is there anything you feel is missing in existing form builders?

I’ll start with a minimal feature set at a very affordable price and add more features based on user feedback.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
Honestly, this just sounds like another option.

Some people want sideloading. Some people want "lock it down so I can't fuck it up".

They are just software options. Why can't we all just have what we want?

Edit: added commentary below

Other general purpose computers have Adminstrator/root vs standard user accounts. Why is this not a thing for phones?
The main thing for me was the windows previews, I used to have hyperdock but stopped showing the windows previews. Right now I am trying DockDoor, so far is ok but you need to speed up the fade animation or it has some annoying behavior (reopens preview if pointer gets hover).
Who knows? I wish the hiring team remembered that real-life people are looking for work because they have bills to pay and regular communication is necessary.

As I said shady apps are/were also in App Store. Today they are not able to manually really review and detect all malicious apps. MacOS is still more open and the world didn't collapse. At minimum they could provide similar mechanism like MacOS but on iOS.

1) apps still notarised so if app later detected to be malicious it can be remotely uninstalled

2) if it's you grandma/grandpa phone - allow to setup iphone as more limited parental control that only other from family can install apps

3) do automatic apps scanning before installation to detect app is malicious - revoke developer certificate in this case or ask them for clarification

I don't have any special insight on these events but I've seen that commit linked a lot.

From a pure optics point of view, it looks extremely bad but reading some of the comments, it sounds like that repo is basically a mirror of some upstream project where terms and conditions/faqs etc are stored as pseudo-structured data and that they're migrating parts of that repo to some other project?

I feel like a lot of context is missing publicly but if I squint, that seems to be what this comment is trying to express: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/commit/d459addab846d8144b...

> I don't see why you'd ever server a relationship over something like this.

I don't know more about your situation, so I can't help you with what you're missing. What I can say is that I have been in the same situation, and it seeps into every interaction. It starts off as one thing, and it becomes all-consuming, until you can't have a normal interaction with the person that doesn't get pulled into the conspiracy web.

I used to have a list of topics I would avoid around my Dad. What was truly devastating was watching all of the things I could relate to my dad about slowly get consumed into that web of topics that were all connected. What was more devastating was that my dad is a smart guy, and he's painfully effective at making the leaps he wants to make from where he's at. If you brought up any topic on the list, he would immediately run you around all of the topics on his list, and any time you make a substantiated claim on one thing, he'll jump to another thing, just to argue.

This story was devastating to me, because I wanted them to find a way to make this work out. And I was hopeful the father was going to be willing to believe that he was wrong given that he brought up the idea of the bet in the first place. But the giveaway to me was that when they discussed the stakes, the dad wasn't really considering losing as an option.

I considered that list and thought to myself "Yeah, I would take all of these bets, and yeah, if I was wrong about all of these I'd be willing to tell the person I was seeing something wrong about the world." But it was clear from the bet setting that there was no world where the father could believe he was wrong. He just wasn't anywhere in the same world as the rest of the world, and honestly, that's what scares me the most.

It feels like we have this incurable disease that makes people believe things irrationally, and there's a risk that anyone can catch this disease just by spending enough time online. What truly scares me about the 'cutting them off' piece here, is that it's a measure to protect yourself and it also represents giving up on the person.

When I cut my dad off, I explained to him my concerns that led to the decision, as well as that I was willing to talk again if he was willing to work on this and at some point I called in to check on how he was doing, and if he was making any progress, and the most baffling thing to me was that he didn't even register the part of my communication (written down) that explained I'd be willing to talk to him if he worked on this. Like, working on this wasn't even something he would consider doing to salvage the relationship, which was pretty devastating because of how long I spent trying to fix this relationship and make it work.
It is what it is.

I ended up having to move out of my hometown (Boston) to stay with my wife's friend's family and now we live in CA. I have a delicious loquat tree in my backyard so things worked out, haha!

That's my opinion too, but I don't think the RIAA or MPAA would agree.
That's not about long-term sustainability. It's just the doing away with diesel stuff, which is largely irrelevant.

And you're spewing nonsense on Mars - all of the resources I mentioned are obviously directly accessible with minimal energy requirements. The one thing you're right on is that solar will never be a primary source (at least not without extensive and heavily redundant battery backups) because of intermittency and unreliability.

Fortunately we have the Sabatier reaction. [1] CO2 + H2 => methane + water. Given the atmosphere on Mars is about 96% CO2 and H2 is readily extractable from the vast water ice resources (or even the dirt if necessary), we've got access to basically endless methane on Mars. And on Mars we'd love to dump as much as we possibly can into the atmosphere. Early expeditions will also probably bring along some largish radioisotope generators again for the sake of emergency power generation. In a domain where one failure means everybody dies, redundancy is nice.

The dock just annoys me. I’ve been a Mac user for almost 15 years and it has never seemed useful for me. I cmd+tab or use Alfred to switch apps. To switch between windows of one application it’s cmd+`.

A lot of the people paying for these analyst firm reports are sales people-so they can pass them on to their customers/prospects (to legally do that you often have to pay extra for “redistribution rights”)… and then the customer/prospect gets to read it for free

Who might not have much of an engineering team, or not one with relevant expertise… and why should they trust the vendor’s engineering team? If they are about to sign a contract for $$$, being able to find support for it in an independent analyst report can psychologically help a lot in the sales cycle

While the most useful reports for sales are those which directly compare products, like Gartner Magic Quadrant or Forrester Wave - a powerful tool if you come out on top - these kind of more background reports can help if the sales challenge is less “whose product should I buy?” and more “do I even need one of these products? should we be investing money in this?”
exactly, there is nothing else. And worse, everything becomes a part of the 'enlightenment' or 'the truth'
