That should be the only way to access flock.

... steam age but modern times turns out to be way more efficient and reliable.

Golly jeepers gee wizz - Who would've thunk?

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

(vibe code = /s )

It keeps the head warm and improves mental performance. A warm head performs at a better rate. Like a warmed up body or the people doing hot yoga. I'm a more or less bald ADHD candidate and I wear buffs as "spare hair" and observe a similar effect.

There's a reason we keep ill and injured people warm.

Bottom line:
This sounds plausible IMHO.

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.

Since their whole shtick is blocking ads and trackers where they can it's likely that they get to first paint faster than other browsers. I use Brave as my daily driver and am reasonably happy with it. It has most of the blockage you need built right in.

The Web without a powerful stream buffer/blocker/anti track setup is basically unusable these days. I'm totally bedazzled whenever I see sorry ass normies using a regular browser without any of that. A nigh surreal experience.

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

Goes to show: Many (white collar bullshit) jobs are a social thing, not a productivity thing.
In ohter words: Using computer and AI is more and more a cultural technique rather than a job. Meaning we have more liberty when chosing what we want to do with our life and time.

Which, if you ask me, is actually a good thing. Let's hope this trend continues on a positive path.

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.

... or not. What matters is, if it can replace the person with two non-trivial degrees at some highly qualified job. And to that I do believe we are closing in on. Seeing what current agents I ran install on my phone are capable of compared to just 6 months ago it pretty telling.

I'm getting ready to do something entirely different than senior web software development real soon now. Perhaps I will be needed as something like that until I retire, but I also won't be too surprised if my current type is positively obsolete in 2 years.

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.
