If the AI is going to lie and cheat on the code it writes (this is the largest thing I bump into regularly and have to nudge it on), what makes the author think that the same AI won't cheat on the proof too?

Where's the antitrust enforcement? This seems blatantly illegal.

The way the execs talk down to employees now is really depressing to read about. That's a really unfortunate culture change since I was there.

Question for @kens -- this circuit you found, how would Intel have designed and tested this?

Quality has not gone up. Products are deliberately made to fail sooner by Chinese manufacturers who are reducing costs on super tiny margins.

The mantra that "consumers get lower prices and everything is better as a result" deliberately elides any discussion of quality and reliability.

Dude I think the whole "we're going to fire you" thing is weird on Apple's part. Look at how good the color picker became once it became yours. A bunch of resource string names should not be a big deal.

Much too quiet here on HN on this post

Science underpins technology, people.

If you want to see the US rapidly lose its place in the tech world over the next decade, this is a great way to go about it.

What's old is new again. Some of the same techniques used to keep pre-MacOS-X applications responsive, back when MacOS was cooperatively scheduled, show up here.

This begs the question of what is a reasonable programming model? In the MacOS case, the forcing function was buying NeXT, using their Unix kernel for MacOS, and literally firing the OS engineers who disagreed with preemptive multitasking.

For these browsers, is there a programming model that could be instituted where processing in these handlers didn't hold up the main UI thread?

This looks fantastic. I particularly love how cool things look at the different perspectives -- presumably this is because you did the hard work of making the planet at realistic scale? Thanks for sharing the process. It was fascinating!

Yeah I saw this process unfold over my decade there as well. I'm very grateful for my time there, my colleagues, and the great work we did (go Monarch team!). The latest evolutions there make me sad.
