That should be the only way to access flock.

Someone needs to vibe code a python replacement for it and free the world from this guy.

(vibe code = /s )

Who is going to bitch about a C2 modem when Apple has never shipped one? Weird claim to make.

Apparently, solving this problem is why Apple is 3 years late to this game.

The guy admits he saw the price on the screen and charged anyway.

It want's its Tivo back.

Who still uses a Tivo? Who even still has a cable service to hook it to?

Tell me you don't know without telling me you don't know. You just did.

Of course it's input and output. So is an operating system, and that doesn't make it a rebranded transistor.

A prompt is one call and a human reads the result.

An agent runs a loop: the model calls a tool, something actually executes, the result comes back as the next input, and the model decides what to do next and when it's done. Nobody types between those steps. Yes, there are still prompts in there. The model itself is writing most of them.

I am amazed at how many people on Slashdot are completely out of touch with the progress AI models have made in the last 6 months. This is supposed to be a tech site, where you guys actually use the tech and understand it. But I digress.

Current models do not need any prompting. You can build a plain english (markdown file) describing exactly what the agent's role and purpose is. It will continue to operate agains those instructions autonomously until it is shut down. Other agents can create and spin up new agents, with new instructions to help them complete their tasks.

We are long past the days of type a sentence, get an answer type agents.

It's already way to late bruh. We don't have the mines anymore, or any of the other infrastructure. Those factories would just sit empty.

The thing I have found is this is where the models all fall short. I have created some amazing results that 500X my productivity by limiting the scope of each session. If I I play the role of "project manager", break the work into phases, and then test and refine each phase before letting it move on to the next, I get incredibly good results.

If I write a 30 page requirements document and just let it build the entire app, the output is always subpar because it builds with mistakes, then builds on top of those mistakes with more mistakes. Then it takes me significantly more time to get it to the end state I wanted in the first place.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHA

Would you also have me believe that a crate pickup from Temu is better than an F-150? Grok is hot garbage.

I have teams of developers and we use and test all of these daily. Grok is pathetic. Gemini is good if you need something to update a spreadsheet. Claude code is still the clear winner for heavy lifting, with codex being a close second.

Sure. I'll be your Google or ChatGPT for you today!

Apple stock was $13.74 (split adjusted) on Tim's first day. Today's closing price was $316.85. That's a 2,206.04% increase in value.

During his 15 year tenure:

* Stock rose 2,279%
* Annual revenue rose 400%
* Profits rose by 430%

Like him or not, he accomplished exactly what Apple paid him to do in his role.

Nice try troll. But this is nothing to do with Apple. Every PC and device manufacturer has raised prices significantly. In fact you could argue that Apple has tried to beat the game with the Macbook Neo. So stick a fork in false narratives.

Absolutely. 100%.

But if you stop lying about surveillance being the reason and look at the fact they have socialized medicine, easy access to support for counseling and depression, near zero access to weapons, along with a strong culture of learning and education you quickly realize that many other things are at play.
