> I've never been able to use a smart phone with one hand, even an original iphone

The original iPhone is tiny. Are you misremembering?

How is this coded to baby boomer? Honest question; I want to understand the post-war generational perspective.

Obviously a personal anecdote and YMMV, but I have several nieces and nephews, and I've gotten to watch them grow over the last ~15 years. During this time, I've tried to spend as much time with them as I can.

But I'm a new dad as of this year, and it's totally different. It really doesn't compare.

There's only so much time you can spend with someone else's kid, even if they're family. Even seeing a niece or nephew every week doesn't compare with waking up with a newborn at 3 AM and seeing them stick their tongue out for the first time, or seeing the squinty face they make when they try a strawberry for the first time at 5 PM on a random Tuesday.

The parent I replied to said frontier weights were “being stolen” which is not the literal case. I think precision is important here.

How are weights stolen from the frontier model developers? What is that actual mechanism?

This is how I worked with LLMs originally, and I much preferred it. This gave me a much better understanding of the code that I was adding. But, there's no way to keep up with my team like this anymore. It's just too slow when everyone else is working directly in Claude Code.

Imagine if this were built into browsers and you only had to serve a SQLite file.

Ironic, the picture on this article appears to be AI generated. I thought the Sony CD player looked neat, and I'd never seen one like it before. I thought I might try to buy one on eBay, that's how cool I thought it was. But Google says "Digital fingerprints embedded within the file verify that this is an artificially generated rendering."

Well, not exactly. He did say that the hiring process at Geoworks was incredibly rigorous, and that he passed that.

I know this author’s name but not his whole life story, but it reads like he got hired at Amazon before they acquired Geoworks and brought all of his former colleagues over.

The conscious, rational part of the psyche that defines an individual's sense of self-worth and identity, mediating between reality and instinct.

I had a similar thought at first, and then remembered the steady technical progress of the Shuttle era (at least from my recollection).
