I was redoing our agency's website and thinking about new sections. Claude already knows who I am and what do we do, so it was able to offer extremely relevant suggestions based on this without any further prompting.
In my personal experience the memory in Claude works much better than in ChatGPT where it indeed feels forced and leads to "remember the user loves cheese" moments.
Considering what's happened with Tailwind, this seems to be a very useful initiative.
Plus, OS maintainers now have to deal with agents and vibe coders who can commit plausibly-looking code that doesn't actually do what it's supposed to, so the volume of work for them is only growing.
Agreed. Tailwind shows that a class of business models that were traditionally used to subsidize Open Source are vulnerable now that AI intermediates between downstream and upstream devs. It was always a tenuous funding arrangement, though, because it goes against the true economic grain of OSS as a "gift community." OSE aligns much more closely with the nature of OSS. I doubt we'll be able to help Tailwind in the short run, but hopefully we can address the problem at a deep enough level in the long run to avoid future Tailwinds (as it were).
Being uselessly worried about stuff like this is such a European thing. Wrote an extensive blog post. Is there any actual harm happening? No, not even a hint of it, just some hypotheticals.
It’s better to dedicate your time to interesting problems.
Because what we see as a photon is a the one bozon left without a pair of one of the four pre-Higgs bozons that exist prior to the electroweak symmetry breaking. That's how all of them get mass.
They require space to be two different things. And we kind of expect to be able to quantize gravity but none of the approaches that worked for three other interactions work here.
I like Safari's Reading Mode. It works practically everywhere, it's clean, and it looks great. I suppose that because Chrome's team prioritizes ads, they don't want one, so all their experiments in that area turned out badly (especially the one where you just get the raw page text in a sidebar).
Chrome Web Store has a bunch of options but imo none of them look good despite a million settings that they have.
Thankfully, Claude Code allowed me to build the exact extension I wanted. So here it is. It mostly uses Mozilla's Readability with some heuristics on top.
But YouTube is still a growing and maybe a profitable business (they disclose its revenue but not costs).
Bending Spoons buys stalled or failed products and keeps them alive with a central engineering team in Italy which is far cheaper than anything in the US.
That's their business model. If the company you work for is acquired by them you should start looking for a new place.
It's just less mainstream, not a part of the agenda, and therefore some people actively judge you if you happen to be a techno optimist. Also, some "techno optimists" out there definitely don't help.
Coders have this tendency to value ideology over practicality. What matters is something that works and people use, not a theoretical picture of how it could have worked in an alternative timeline.
Actually, control means practicality. Linux won the server wars and that was a combination of ideology AND practicality.
If a company breaks something so only their path works it's short term practicality to use it and long term practicality to fight for an alternative that keeps control in the developers hand.
Monopolies are terrible for software developers. Quality and customisation tend to go down, which means less value for the Devs.
