They're talking about before it's configured by the user. It defaults to 'free' models so that the user can ask a question immediately on startup. Once you configure a provider, the default models aren't used.

Yeah, that's the point. Why did you think you needed to say it?

It's a GUI that works over SSH. There is a very valid use case for that.

I assume his point is that making stuff that assumes a mouse makes for a bad text-based UI. Absolutely fine if everything is controllable via the keyboard, e.g. if the tabs were labelled F1-Fn and they function keys switched them, or they had an underlined letter and Ctrl+letter switched focus to it, or whatever.

But if this thing requires you to just tab a lot through lots of pointless and rarely used fields to get to a "button" so you can activate it, because it's really all designed to be used with a mouse, then it's a bad text-based UI.

There are some incredibly good text-based UIs around, some going back to mainframe stuff from the 70s. Most of them are optimised for speed of control via keyboard rather than for looking pretty. Almost none of them would be quicker to use with a mouse.

absolutely, but it's still a TUI. Just like if you made a GUI that didn't have any mouse support and needed all keyboard shortcuts, it wouldn't stop being a GUI.

TBH I've always hated the backronym TUI anyway, so if TUI includes things that require mouse input, then maybe we can go back to using "text-based UI" for things that only require a keyboard like we used to 30 years ago.

> We can no longer design for ourselves, and we rely heavily on community feedback to co-design the right experience. We cannot build the right things without that feedback.

How can that be true, when you're deliberately and repeatedly telling devs (the community you claim to listen to) that you know better than they do? They're telling you exactly what they want, and you're telling them, "Nah." That isn't listening. You understand that, right?

I’m witnessing him respond in real time with not just feedback but also actual changes, in a respectful and constructive manner - which is not easy to do, when there are people who communicate in this rude of a manner. If that’s not listening, then I don’t know what is.

And it shouldn’t need to be said, but the words that appear on the screen are from an actual person with, you know, feelings.

Acting like they can't take the heat when they purposely put themselves in the public sphere is odd.

interesting. they have been pretty receptive to my pull comments and discourse on issues. To each's anecdote I suppose.

yea so they dont want to include agents.md and that's perfectly fine with me.

There's a reason for people to hate it... it's a tool used for something similar to genocide, only instead of killing the individuals (like they did in the past) it is used to reduce the population out of existence over time. To get benefits as a tribal member, you need to have a blood quantum over a certain amount. That means native populations are guaranteed to shrink because there are fewer and fewer 'full bloods'.

It's also incredibly racist, when you get down to it. Does a white person need to be able to trace their lineage to claim they are white, or any other race, for that matter?

When you talk to Cherokee people, most of them are very clear that if you are part of the Cherokee culture, you're Cherokee. Throughout history, they have 'adopted' people of other races into their tribes, and those people married and had children. If an adopted white man married and adopted white woman, their children would be considered full blood, regardless of their skin color. So from a Cherokee perspective (and I assume any tribes that behaved similarly) the measure of a Cherokee is whether they are a part of the Cherokee culture, rather than what their genealogy shows.

> Just relax and use the strengths of both patterns.

That's exactly what he says in the conclusion...

Agreed. I'm saying we as in the HN comments and to some degree programmers in general.

> In contrast to this, most of my paper notes (and I've gone back to paper) end up being lost, and those that aren't lost are horribly disorganized.

Conversely, I've had lots of PDAs through the years, and any notes I took on them were lost long ago.

HN is so anti-Apple it's not funny. I've noticed if an argument makes Apple better, no matter how reasonable you are, you tend to get downvotes.

Anyway, I agree with you. (There are two of us!) Apple's stuff is built to be easy enough for a know-nothing user to get the basics done, and depending on your skill, you gain access to more and more over time.

And?

He also didn't say the camera on iPhones stays off when you're not using them. That must mean they're taking pictures of us and uploading them to Tim Cook's personal sex grotto for him to ogle us, right? I mean, he didn't say they DIDN'T do it, so...

That is to say... perhaps we could keep the paranoia and speculation to things that have a basis in reality?

As an aside, it's funny that both articles use the same stock image.

Granted, it's anecdotal, but I've personally seen university graduates that seemingly aren't capable of reading basic instructions or submitting a useful CV. Conversely, I've seen applicants with zero university who wowed during the interview, and went on to wow everyone as a very skilled employee.

I think the 'filtering mechanism' you speak of is vastly overrated, and I'm excited to see things like this happening. People should be hired based on ability and skill, not a piece of paper that they somehow acquired.
