I use Bluesky to keep up with software development news. The ability to default to my "following" feed is a big plus. I mostly see software related stuff and the stream of posts is slow enough that I reduced my time spent on the app.
It's an equity investment, and yes they're agreeing to a committment to protecting the rights of the creators.
> Disney and OpenAI affirm a shared commitment to responsible use of AI that protects the safety of users and the rights of creators.
>Alongside the licensing agreement, Disney will become a major customer of OpenAI, using its APIs to build new products, tools, and experiences, including for Disney+, and deploying ChatGPT for its employees.
>As part of the agreement, Disney will make a $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI, and receive warrants to purchase additional equity.
I think it's good advice, the main difference is that Bsky encourages you to do that by giving you the possibility to customize your feeds (and set whatever as the default). You can have a combination of personal lists and custom algorithmic feeds (your own or someone else's).
Even ignoring musk's takeover, I think it's a better model that reduces doomscrolling, ragebait and generally low quality interactions.
That sounds crazy to me, Claude Code has so many limitations.
Last week I asked Claude Code to set up a Next.js project with internationalization. It tried to install a third party library instead of using the internationalization method recommended for the latest version of Next.js (using Next's middleware) and could not produce of functional version of the boilerplate site.
There are some specific cases where agentic AI does help me but I can't picture an agent running unchecked effectively in its current state.
Indeed. Attaching the link (of the correct page) of the documentation worked in this case but I would've been faster than the AI. LLM.txt has been hit or miss. Maybe I need to adapt my workflow and have a granular plan of what needs to be done.
However the complexity is in knowing what to do and when. Actually typing the code/running commands doesn't take that much time and energy. I feel like any time gained by overusing an LLM will be offset by having to debug its code when it messes things up.
I have seen it doing incredible stuff. One shotted adding a feature that included modifications to a proprietary backoffice system, db schema updates, defining new api models, implementing changes on the backend and then on the frontend.
I've also seen seen it choking when tasked to add a simple result count on a search.
Is it cheap? It adds up really quickly. One shot at trying to build an iteration of a simple python app (<1000 LOC tops) can cost between $1 and $5. And that’s a single attempt.
And this is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg of what even a medium sized startup spends. This is not cheap in any way.
This is where prompting comes in. You need to remember to tell it about which libs you want or encourage it to web search to find the latest ones, or use something like context7 MCP to get the latest versions.
Claude is always a little behind latest versions because of knowledge cutoff. Also I know the i18n lib you're talking about and it was probably the right call.
You could've stopped your sentence at "I don't know how a country filled with guns can survive."
The main downside of abusing the words nazi and fascist is that it gives an out to the actual fascists out there. When it comes to gun violence, there are a lot more (self proclaimed) neo-nazis killing innocent people than people killing them.
Fully agreed. I am however worried by the fact that Firefox is basically kept alive by Google. I assume it's just so that they can pretend Chrome isn't a monopoly, but the minute Firefox becomes an inconvenience they can stop financing it. I hope we can find a way for Firefox to sustain itself long term.
It’s a valid concern, and it may not be possible to properly address so long as Mozilla in its current form continues to be the controlling party of Firefox/Gecko. The best scenario might actually be for Mozilla to collapse and some other NPO or PBC with better financial sense to pick up the projects and their engineers.
Google pays Firefox for traffic acquisition, not out of pity. If Google stopped paying, another search engine like Bing or Perplexity would be happy to take over.
True, but what happens when Firefox's marketshare decreases to the point where the amount of traffic lost by not having the Google deal stops mattering to Google?
If Google does the math one day, and determines that they won't lose out anymore by not paying Firefox they'll stop paying.
It's revenue share based, so the cost to google is the time it takes to renew the deal. This is a fixed cost that doesn't depend on the market share of Firefox.
I've also made the move to Zen. I think Arc users will feel right at home there. It hasn't quite reached he same level of polish just yet but being in active development is a big plus.
On top of that, Zen can be personalized with CSS. As someone who spends a lot of time in the browser, it's been awesome to be able to tailor it to my needs.

Slight tangent but while this is bad with disclosed ads, I think it's even worse with algorithmic feeds. A lot of users don't realize that not only their feed is heavily personalized, but the "top comments" are also selected just for them.
This bias will be implemented in LLMs sooner or later. Combined with the current misunderstanding of "AI" by the general population, it makes me worried about the future of misinformation.
Cambridge Analytica/SCL/Meta are knowingly in the personalised propaganda business - political behaviour modification tailored to individual emotional triggers, sweetened with personally irresistible content that looks harmless but exists to hook users on the real payload.
"And here's some more content about your favourite band/movie/TV show/influencer. And now, some reels. Aren't those cats cute? But anyway. Here's a reel that looks unobjectionable but subtly makes a political point you should definitely think about. Would you like to know more?"
AI has the potential to make this much more effective.
Certain noteworthy historical figures from Germany would have been absolutely delighted.
It took me a while to make the switch from copy pasting in a chat to Cursor, but I do see an improvement in my productivity in a couple of ways. For context, this is doing front-end development and knowing what I'm doing. The benefits aren't there if I'm using a technology/library I'm not familiar with.
For the most part, I just type code the same way I use to but I get:
- an auto-complete on steroids
- the tab feature reminding me of impacted code I forgot to update after making a change elsewhere (big one as I easily get distracted).
I very rarely use the chat/composer. Usually I'm faster by going through files manually and making changes myself helped by the features mentioned above.
