It's not the failure here or there, it's a pattern. It's not even the failing, it's the excessive hype cycle.

We keep seeing things being overhyped, with not much thought behind it. Meta is particularly bad about it. They changed their name for the hype of their VR product, when VR was still niche and had a long way to go, and still does. They couldn't even figure out legs for launch.

Now they have a 'superintellegence'? Yeah, that sounds like just the latest in a line of bullshit. Why would this be different.

Establishing a pattern of over hyping of projects that then disappear isn't a shallow dismissal.

How's the metaverse doing? It was the next big thing and how we're all going to be working inside it in... was it like 3 months ago?

Maybe they need to mine more libra coin first? or is it diem now? is that even still part of meta?

I'm sure this new AI is super intelligent and super awesome and will be writing all the code, making all the blog posts, and generating all our youtube shorts in 6 months.

Just include 'make it secure' in the prompt. Duh.

If my high school English is worth anything, that quote has nothing to do with being careless, or the privileges accorded to wealth, but is in fact a metaphor for the external struggle of chicken farmers against predators.

Your experience is not everyone s experience. Are you one of their colleagues. No? Then they weren’t talking about you.

> I wasn't aware that migrating projects off Cobol has become cheap and it would only take a Claude subscription.

It's like you never even saw u/bumlazer42069's seminal post that 'itd only take 3 prompts and a weekend for me to port all that cobol to typescript'

Noise cancellation was made worse due to patent troll lawsuits.

Right? also, where's the thunderbolt ports? and it needs about another inch? maybe half inch on the screen. And really, 16gb is the new minimum. There's a whole bunch of acceleration and co processing features in the m series missing from the a series, so they really should put an m5 in there instead...

Seriously though. Every feature someone says is missing and should have been added would be another $100 on the cost. This is already likely a low margin product meant of someone who's only using a browser and maybe a few apps.

Depends what you're developing. You could build a pretty powerful webapp as long as you don't fall into 'i need my blog running in kubernetes' trap.

For a couple months I was on an 8gb m1 air, it was perfectly fine, even with docker containers. As long as i didn't launch teams....

If you know what a user agent is, let alone how to change it, CORS is not meant for you.

Its guide rails to help the tech illiterate not get hacked. It raises the bar on what gets through. It’s not going to stop a determined attacker, but will catch enough to make a dent. Defense in depth and all that.

Surely the point of doing mockups is to get feedback.

Are you just not doing that anymore?

Uh, no they're not. Did you not see the recent announcement from unity. One short prompt and you get a whole AAA+ game in one shot.
