wow, how to romanticize X.400 ...

- poor Internet fit, assuming managed, trusted networks - some promises depended on all participating systems behaving honestly

- once a message reaches another server, you cannot guarantee it isn't copied, backed up, or logged

- X.400 read receipts: more reliable but also more privacy invasive

- X.400 metadata: carries a lot of routing, classification, and organizational info leading to potential privacy leaks

- SMTP is ugly but observable, you don't need a standard specialist to debug issues

If anyone wonders how AI might end up undermining humanity, this is a small preview. We're gradually handing over more processes to automation (YOLO, right?) while the systems themselves remain fundamentally "non empathetic". Maybe this specific case comes down to a poorly designed prompt from 2024... but so far the trend isn't "friendlier" automation, everyone is after more powerful automation...

openai, anthropic, gemini &co should pay wikipedia the rent.

major possible risk, for tech savvy people: another walled garden, unless: - openai will open the memory interface (why would they?) - openai will allow other models (why would they?) - openai will allow a neutral agent/procedural layer (wwt?)

fingers crossed.

Looking forward for the 1Password extension to work properly. Installation works, but the integration doesn't yet. Nice lean UI though, thanks to Chromium oc

4 of them please, going to spend every night playing poker on a real green!

Seems overkill when you can simply tell agents to do that automatically

Plus vscode is maintained by a company with thousands of devs. Obsidian is less than 10 people, which is amazing. About plugins why blame the product, pls check what you install on your machine instead

totally agree, chasing ultrathin designs has diminishing returns. There's so many practical ways to extend battery life such as letting users selectively dial down performance, adding a bit of extra thickness/weight, rethinking how power hungry features are scheduled... It's a matter of priorities, and Apple is obsessed with design (with dubious results, ie magic mouse charging port)

Based on what evidence that adding more battery necessarily makes it a pound? Based on what precedent of mainstream phones ever approaching that weight?

Based on what teardown are you concluding the logic boards take up that much? Based on what phone design history where removing cameras failed to free up meaningful space?
