IMO it wasn’t mistake. They use it deliberately to avoid blame.

Yup, my bets are on this. It’s not only github that gets ~order of magnitude more PRs and commits, but probably app stores too.

Wonder how it will change app stores for the future.


Today, I asked Opus what it’s gibberish actually means. It started with (topic about signing implementation):

> This is your coat token, to my coat hanger in the opera.

On one hand - maybe yes??! On the other who the hell speaks like that and it’s so specific…

I’d expect Alice and Bob with locks or house keys. Is this infamous old book scanning (and destroying) affecting latest models?


> On one hand - maybe yes??!

No.


Sounds like one of those "Is to as Is to" analogy questions from the SAT.

Are you sure you didn't typo signing as singing somewhere?

> > This is your coat token, to my coat hanger in the opera.

that is fucking insane

how on earth is Anthropic allowing this to happen? AGI? kill us all? I refuse to believe any of that until they can get this basic shit sorted out, I mean seriously, it's becoming a joke at this point


> it’s gibberish

ironic


> Further, wikipedia is not a credible source link in-case you didn't know.

@grok what is a credible source?

/s of course


[flagged]


> Had you ever been to a college and used wikipedia link as a source reference when writing a paper you would've known.

Some of us went to school before Wikipedia was invented. And even if Wikipedia itself cannot be used as a source directly, going to the references cited in a Wikipedia article and citing those I'm guess is another matter.


Personal attacks are against site rules. But if you've been here since 2011, you should know that...

This.

Neither Hoka, Asics, New Balance, et al. make truly wide toe box shoes.

Better than nothing - sure. Though after wearing Altras, feet health is much better and you can feel how all other shoes feel tight, even my widest Hokas are tight in comparison.

My biggest complaints though with Altras:

- They offer only zero drop (or near zero drop) shoes;

- Their QC to price ratio is atrocious (stitches failing, heel fabric gone to shreds 2-3 times faster than other brands, sole is so soft that it goes to shreds or wears out 2 times faster than others);

Problem for me is that I wouldn't even consider buying them if they wouldn't be the only shoe brand that I can access that has truly wide toe box and is not "barefoot shoe".


Do you have any reason to want non-zero drop? Because that’s one of the main reasons to buy Altras, since it alleviates some of the issues that plague knees and hip joints.

My Altras last about 2x any other running shoe, and I even took them on trail runs (Lone Peaks).

Not defending the company, they’re pricey and the catalog is exaggerated, full of nonsense 30mm+ stack shoes, etc.


Maybe it’s just my models: Timp GTX and Timp 5 that aren’t reliable.

Got my hands on Olympus - will see if it’s better.


In Sweden I saw Swish app QR codes everywhere. In every store, cafe, museums and even for donations (e.g. volunteers maintaining trails, independent museums, etc).

I had no issue paying with a card everywhere, but it was interesting to see those QR codes everywhere.

Though after spending 15min trying to set it up - I eventually made a conclusion that it’s impossible for non Swede (or someone without Swedish bank account and/or mobile phone number). Could be wrong, but did not delve more.

Had to skip couple donations - as they only accepted Swish app.


I saw ~20 year old presentation where Craig Federighi presented (for first time??) - dude was shaking like leaf and could hardly do the demo.

It turned out fine and now he’s one of more charming presenters.


It's so sad that X4 Pro does not have USB-C.

They have added backlight, but still left charging/connecting to proprietary magnetic adapter.


> It's so sad that X4 Pro does not have USB-C.

Yeah, the connector they've made is absolutely bananas, wonder what they were thinking? Was there a 3rd-party docking ecosystem they were expecting to be spawned by this, or something? The magnetic connector by itself makes no sense, unless I severely misunderstand how it's supposed to be used in practice.


I saw a claim that the connector was to reduce the thickness of the device.

Terrible trade-off. I do not want a marginally smaller book if it means I have to worry about losing a proprietary cable.


It isn't proprietary.

Standard or not, it's not the standard.

It is, though to be honest it bothers me less than I thought it will. The battery lasts so long that I rarely charge it.

> proprietary magnetic adapter

They're supposedly not proprietary but a standard size that's easily replaced.


Ok, though still obscure.

I don’t want to looking where to order it when it’s lost or broken.


Any guesses why they went with that connector rather than USB C?

Just for improved thinnness; they're able to reduce about 2 mm from the thickness with the pins (and you can still technically use them for data transfer depending on how it's wired to the SoC).

Eh, I would be more empathic in this situation[0].

Github isn’t small startup, where other 10x threshold is as cheap as buy bigger box in your IaaS.

When you are already biggest player in the ecosystem and you suddenly get 10x persisted traffic, with at least 30x+ forecast “soon” - I am not surprised they have issues.
