Pushing SSL was probably the last big tech effort/push that actually benefited users. Sure it made self hosting a little harder, and probably consolidated some tracking behind bigger players, but overall end users did benefit.

Most of what I see now is purely for their benefit and users don't benefit.

While true, the latest opus model has 1m token context. Which is a lot more than the previous 200k limit. Hard to fill that up with regular work, but easy if you try to oneshot a whole product.

Believe it or not in some ways they are better and more flexible and in other ways they're more limited. Basically they are totally separate situations to the same problem.

Since they now have the same owner, you've already identified which one is gaining features and fixes.

Looks like a solid release, excited to try out the csp feature. The new collections api seems cool.

While I agree with this, and I'm not defending skirting regulations, before rideshare apps, taking taxis was an awful experience. At least half the time, if you try to pay with a credit card, the machine was "broken", if you wanted to get a ride at a specific time you had to call ahead and hope that a taxi would show up.

Rideshsre apps forced regular taxis to up their game and provide better service, some did and now have their own apps.

I think this is more about having a human oen the PR and changes than anything else. This way a person takes responsibility for the code as opposed to an AI.

This seems reasonable to me, and not opening the flood gates for AI slop.

If you live in Chicago, please attend the march 5 meeting. We need to outnumber the anti-bike lane folks

The Department of Transportation is proposing bringing a network of bike lanes to Portage Park

https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/complete-streets-chicago/home/featured-projects-and-innovations/projects0/PortageParkNeighborhoodBikeNetwork.html

They are holding a community meeting to discuss the bike lane network at 6 p.m. March 5 at the Portage Park Senior Center, 4001 N. Long Avenue.

Attendees are encouraged to register here

Posting things online isn't enough. Pro-car people actually show up. We need supporters of bike lanes to also show up.

Slowly I turned.

He was perfect for Boyd in Justified as well. Very under rated show, in my opinion, but very well acted throughout.

I think it could be, but the implication is at issue. It's not like we need to update text books to say Jupiter isn't the biggest planet anymore. It's that we need to update the new versions to show how our improved measuring has allowed us to refine our knowledge.

Agreed. They have steadily added new features that don't bloat the experience. It's just a little too constrained for my tastes, but the rest of the Polish makes up for it.

Same here. It's very smooth. I wish there were a few other customization points, I'd rather use my own weather app than the built in one, and I do, but then end up with different forecasts as they use different sources.

Minor complaints, but still a little friction that could be solved.

I mostly agree. It won't replace people directly, but it might let companies do more with fewer developers.

Not to say they don't need anyone, but maybe they get by with 75 instead of 100 developers? Hard to say where that falls because the outcomes if ai usage are so variable based on skill of operator and the target codebase.
