> How come self-driving came years before LLMs

Did it? Outside of very limited testing zones, self driving _still_ doesn't really exist


> Just because. There's no tech reason to do it.

They made a separate article on why, which they linked to. Performance is significantly better. The native Android app launches twice as fast for example


and only 23% on iOS. Now while those can initially seems significant, it's still a web app, doh, a web page, that loads non deterministic stuff. Even in their tests, the page that loads native vs RN is simply... different. Different things take different time to load, yeah, who would have though. Not even mentioning that this "performance" is only app startup, lol. Ah, sorry, my bad, 120fps when browsing items on the web.

Don't get me wrong I don't have anything against AI, I'm a heavy user myself, but refactoring everything just for the sake of it and bragging on HN with little to no tangible effects - that's a whole different story.


"native" shouldn't be capitalized in the title

They paid an estimated $300M per aircraft, so even a $139M repair bill is worth it


Monzo are a UK bank that briefly but afaik no longer operate in the US


They are partially Chinese owned, so you can imagine Trump having a fit could be ordering AWS and GCP to stop servicing this bank.


Also this line is very weird:

> That’s enough to mean the 11 Pro Fold still feels like a smart purchase right now, but I’m worried it won’t do for long.

How long are these phone's purchasable windows? like 12 months max?

So it's still a "smart purchase" now, despite being out of date? So maybe it's not out of date yet? But will be soon, like literally every other phone?


I remember reading something similar about walking on the part of the pavement furthest from the road, because being an extra meter or so away makes a big difference


A quick note for my fellow US Americans -- A British speaker calling it 'pavement' is referring to what we call the sidewalk.


They didn't mention anything about folding clothes so I suspect this comment is just an ad



It’s a video on their YouTube channel


When asked for comment an anthropic spokesperson said "it's very unusual for the pelican to fall off. They are built to very rigorous SVG engineering standards"


> Why should a developer use this for anything beyond a pet project?

If it _is_ 50% faster, then that's the reason

Obviously like any new database it's very risky to use so probably only used for niche use cases at first, but if it turns out to be just as reliable as postgres and faster then why not?


It probably is 50% faster, probably by skipping flushing data to disk.


I'll make it 100% faster, skip saving any data to disk.
