> when some dialog pops up I want to touch the cancel button

I have never had this. I don't think this is the expectation among people using laptops either? Pressing escape is much faster, doesn't obscure the screen, and doesn't require me to aim.

Yep, it’s pretty much the reason I don’t use Youtube on my iPhone almost at all.

It’s probably a good thing, actually.

Need is a big word. Convenience is also a factor.

We have 8 light buttons in our living room/dining room/kitchen space. It is very convenient to us that we have 1 button for turning all of them on/off at the door to upstairs (at night turn off all lights and go to bed upstairs, in the morning come downstairs and turn on all lights) - but also have 1 on/off button near our back door for when we leave/come home.

Next to that: on/off toggles a schedule where the lights are bright and cold-ish by day, and low and warm by night without us having to manually adjust each light every hour or something.

Again, need is a big word. But it's very convenient and pleasant.

It's really not that bad.

Unless the company is going under, why not? Let's say Google releases Gemini Pro 4 tomorrow, and it's better than Fable and Sol; lots of people would switch over to it.

AI models are almost completely interchangeable, so the best/cheapest/fastest whatever will always have a market.

Way slow? What are you comparing with?

Definitely try ghostel, it's really solid.

Very well written! I haven't read such a long piece on the internet for quite a while but this hooked me immediately, and kept me hooked.

Breath of fresh air between all the AI """writing""".

> Even though it's 5 different phases, it's just "3 layers" of programming.

I'd sharpen this to: it's 3 layers of software engineering (2, 3, 4), and 1 layer of programming (3).

Seems like a good avenue for money laundering if you can't tell where it comes from.

> you aren't really expected to talk or listen in this scenario

Absolutely bizarre. The cashier is not some sort of robot.

Interesting; do you think it’s a net positive for them?
