The joy of nondeterministic systems.

The LLMs are beautiful if anything, a lot of creative and hard work has been poured into building them. They take the natural language to the next level and all that was engineering part. It has its own usefulness subjective to areas. The business part, trying to put it as a silver bullet for everything, is trying to put a square peg in round hole is the one which is causing this polarization.

Wish they'd do a Switch 2 edition without a screen. I use mine (Switch 1) 100% docked.

They didn't even start on the dump part yet. Only initial 5% of the shares are trading so far.

Immutability is one of the best things about email.

As a platform for sending invoices and official communications it’s fine. As a way for people to talk with each other it sucks. These days I’m of the opinion that most messaging should just be auto deleted after a month. If there’s something particularly important you want to keep, note it down. Otherwise just let it be forgotten.

Certainly it should be immutable if read.

We had replaceable batteries in phones for years. There's no reason battery replacement has to involve 20 steps and require ungluing the screen.

Exactly, this isn't something new. It was removed for no reason other than aesthetics and possibly to force users to buy a new device every few years.

May I remind you that the fist few iPhones were not water proof, yet the battery was not removable.

Laptops are not waterproof but those batteries are also no longer removable.

There are even fully water resistant (and IP rated phones) currently made with replaceable batteries. Best of all worlds

NFT was the peak.

Seems to be a strange setup for a marketing photo.

Why wouldn't it be Chromium/V8-based? New browser engine is multiple developer-years of effort.

Just seems like not a very smart long-term move to build on it.

Tough to get changes upstream when the majority of engineers working on Chromium are Google devs.

Lots of features you'd hope would be available in Chromium aren't there and have to be implemented manually, but then you need to keep your fork interoperating with a massive, moving target. Safe Browsing, Translate, Spellcheck, Autofill, Password Manager aren't available in Chromium and Google cut unauthorized Chromium browsers off from using Google Sync in 2021 (https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-cuts-off-other-chromium...)

There's probably more issues?

I'm not really seeing the alternative here, though. If your main gripe with Chromium is getting patches upstream through the vendor, that's an issue with all the browser engines available to them. Gecko would be an even riskier bet than Chromium, and WebKit verges on being chronically undermaintained on Windows and Linux.

But I thought AI was supposed to be writing 90% of code by now, you're telling me building a new browser engine is still a multi-year, difficult effort?
