hot take: the app is usually a better experience. the browser sucks for so many reasons.

that said, i refuse to download Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, and a few others, and i resent them for defacing their own site to try and force conversions. but if there is an app/company i really utilize, i prefer the app every time, from a UX perspective.

i mean, i’m not arguing for this position necessarily. i agree with you.

that said, in practice, the “bad data” comes out in the wash. for example, all of Reddit is likely in their datasets. who knows what their data cleaning process is like, but diversity in the data is generally a good thing from a training perspective.

there’s this idea in the AI development zeitgeist that “rare data” is the only advantage left. this stuff is almost certainly motivated by that type of thinking. if they can have data in their datasets that no one else does, they view that as the only way left to be ahead of the competition.

you’re gonna struggle to get a good sear on that ceramic top. the cooktops they use in east Asia look like friggin jet engines, and mise en place is basically a necessity because of how fast things move. even on full blast your wok is gonna struggle to maintain temp up those rounded sides.

that said, authenticity in food is just another story we tell ourselves. the chilis in Asian cuisine, just like the tomatoes in Italy or the potatoes in Ireland, came from America. i say go nuts. the experiments are more fun to me than an “authentic ramen”, a dish that was invented in the 20th century and designed to be pub food.

what i mean is that Claude Code wouldn’t report as a Linux desktop browser without some nefarious behavior. what i mean by “surely” is that it would be shitty of Anthropic or OpenAI to do that for no benefit on their part. curl, wget, httpie, xh, whatever client use a specific user-agent that would be a reasonable default to use for any agent without fucking around pretending just to skew metrics.

those header report that they’re bots.

the AI explanation and reasoning is weak. what does “largely disappears” mean without numbers? Cloudflare doesn’t do vibes; give me numbers. in any case “desktop” surely means that the user-agent reflects a desktop browser and not a CLI tool, right? otherwise this number would be closer to 90% than 10%. unless the agents are intentionally spoofing browser user-agents i don’t buy it.

no mention of Steam’s and Framework’s hardware offering that come with Linux? no mention of the clear mass migrations?

here’s an AI explanation: LLMs are helping people who otherwise would struggle move to Linux

i had that thought, too. the yolks were incredibly rich and also way more stable than chicken yolks, but that could be an issue of freshness, etc.

this is just yet another case of “reality having a left-leaning bias”. there’s no conspiracy here, except for the man baby who tells his model explicitly to be an asshole, except he can’t conjure enough facts about white genocide to meaningfully move the needle on reality.

not precisely. Rust has let mut and Kotlin has val; ie the member layout and the mutability are treated differently, since those languages have mutability rules.

this is a circular argument anyway. the language designers could have figured out a way to do type inference like, eg, Java, but, again, explicitly chose not to.

my theory is that AI will take over the world silently and subtly. my first inkling of this was when the tariff policies appeared to be generated. regardless of if they actually were, things like that will continue to happen until consulting a model on policy becomes routine, and then checking outputs gets more lax… that’s how they take over. we give them control over the reigns of government one step at a time, all the time convinced we’re still the ones making the decisions.
