The app doesn't even work as advertised. Opened the app, started a new session, closed the app, and my session was gone. I thought this was supposed to be persistent sessions. I think i'll keep using Cmux.

Stopped when he said he waited forever to get naturalized, skipping 6 years, and then saying he never got his permanent resident card, so he was just living off renewed visas, and they thought it was strange.

It is strange. A lot of the things he said he needed, would have been done in the permanent residence portion of his time in Japan. Just as it is in any country.

This was a fantastic read. Lots of useful info in there for your own projects.

I literally saw that poster today in London and had this conversation about AI posters with my wife. I had no clue it would literally be a post today.

Absolutely the same experience here. Pretty much worse in every way.

My experience with the new Siri is objectively worse. I am on an Iphone 17 Pro Max and all searches are very slow, accessing utilities has slowed down quite a bit, lagginess when settings timers. Failure to make new notes or reminders. Stuff just not working. I've been using the OS since the RC. I give it a flat 0/10

That doesn't make sense at all. Fail open means the method of it's use is still in use.

Say you have a door that has powered locks. You want it to fail "open" so that when the power goes out, it's still useable, and people can get out. That's the source of the term.

I spent a lot of time in SF in the early 2010s and I couldn't believe how absolutely terrible the internet was in the heart of silicon valley. It's incredibly sad honestly. You'd expect that SF would have the worlds top internet speeds, but nope. It was quite disappointing.

The UK is absolutely terrible. I've noticed this quite a bit in my travels there.

I am in Italy right now, in fact, spent a lot of time here. I can safely say, the 5G sim coverage is extremely spotty, and when you can get internet from a physical line, it's generally pretty poor speeds. I am pretty sure a lot of that 78% includes 1 bar of LTE coverage, so it's "technically" true.

Yeah, it's definitely super slow right now.

I use the app "flush" for this, and it works pretty well.

Go watch the dev videos, they feel 100% AI. The people are real, but everything else about it is uncanny valley.

Yep, I am a runner too, ran 6 marathons with this knot and run 20 miles a week. It just never comes undone.

I came across this site in the late 90's / early 2000's as well. I've been using the Ian Knot ever since, and even forgot how to tie my shoes "normally". I will teach it to anyone who will listen to me rant about knots.
