I have a multitude of complaints about Tahoe, many of which others have already pointed out. One more thing that doesn't get mentioned as often but probably should is their new placement of the volume / brightness level UI which pops up when you change those two.
It used to be in the middle of the screen and worked just fine. But then someone thoughts of putting it exactly where browser tabs usually are and I _constantly_ find myself in a situation where I change the volume and try to click on a tab that this UI is on top of. Then I need to move my mouse outside the UI otherwise it stays there, and wait for it to disappear before I can change tabs. It's infuriating.
you're not meant to scroll ahead, the intention is to create a time sink in each chapter. I figured this out after reading the first chapter forever, then I was like "wait a second this is the concise book? how can I read the introduction forever?"
I've read the introduction part and I've seen no "time sink." I genuinely don't know what your comment means. Do you really have a hard time reading the introduction part?
Claude is cranked to the max for coding and specifically agentic coding and even more specifically agentic coding using Claude Code. It's like the macbook of coding LLMs.
While that may be your personal experience, but for me Gemini always answers my questions better than Claude Opus 4.5 and often better than GPT 5.2. I'm not talking about coding agents, but rather the web based AI systems.
This has happened enough times now (I run every query on all 3) that I'm fairly confident that Gemini suits me better now. Whereas it used to be consistently dead last and just plain bad not so long ago. Hence the hype.
Weird. I find Opus knows the answer more often, plus its explanations are much clearer. Opus puts the main point at the top, while Gemini wanders around for a while before telling you what you need.
I think Sam Altman popularized it with his tweets during the height of OpenAI, GPT popularity ~2023. Or maybe it was already trending by then but at least for me he was the first among prominent people to be doing it.
Smartphones forced automated capitalization on us, just look at how chatlogs have changed over time. I'd suggest no-capitalization is on the downtrend, but sticks out more because everything is automatically capitalized now.
there are times i will explicitly fight that when i am typing something on a phone and want the subtle mode shift of all lowercase, it's kind of hilarious to watch myself doing that
the lack of capitalization (and occasional omission of punctuation) was already a big thing on tumblr / twitter 10 years ago, especially in some anime and LGBT-adjacent spaces. I don't think jyn got it from Sam Altman, and I don't think he had that big a role in popularizing it.
Before smartphones, it seems to have been the standard for just about every form of instant messaging. Well, morse has no capitalization and telex would typically have been uppercase-only too, but I think we can still count those?
I suspect that this is just something that happens naturally, for shorter-format messaging typing in sentence case probably offers no added readability and tends to get dropped over time.
“Sam Altman popularized written prose without capitalization by the way he posted to twitter 3 years ago” is one of the wildest takes I have ever heard
Not a single mention of privacy though? What browser content / activity will Claude record? For how long will it be kept? Will it be used for training? Will humans potentially review it?
"Coursera to Combine with Udemy to Empower the Global Workforce with Skills for the AI Era"
Incredibly sad to hear this. Coursera was transformative for my education and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it changed my life for the better.
I know these open courseware platforms have been bad for many years now but this feels like the final nail in the coffin for Coursera. I'm just grateful my education happened to overlap with the advent of the open courses movement and before they realized it was never going to be profitable.
