If we're bringing anecdata to the party: I bought OLED shortly after it came out and did not have any trouble.

I don't know the answer to your question, but it would seem no one involved in this decision making process is even trying.

The level of exposition required for a lot of edits you might want to make is what stops this from being a primary method of interaction. If I have to express >= AND <= AND NOT == OR ... then I may as well write the thing myself.

I agree that Claude does this stuff. I also think the Chinese menus of options it provides are weak in their imagination, which means that for thoroughly specified problem spaces with reference implementations you're in good shape, but if you want to come up with a novel system, experience is required, otherwise you will end up in design hell. I think the danger is in juniors thinking the Chinese menu of options provided are "good" options in the first place. Simply because they are coherent does not mean they are good, and the combinations of "a little of this, a little of that" game of tradeoffs during design is lost.

In Clojure land, the mantra has long been "libraries over frameworks" for this reason.

As long as we're pointing out things that don't make sense: A long time ago in the United States we decided to run electricity _everywhere_, even farmhouses in the middle of nowhere. The solution to broadband in the United States is somehow, inexplicably "Let's use satellites" rather than increase tower coverage or run hard lines. It is a _terrible_ solution to this problem based on the cost alone.

I've used Starlink and it's fantastic in rural areas. Why dig thousands of miles of holes for physical wires when the problem is already solved?

Think. You don't even need to dig. We have myriad wireless internet solutions. We did not need to send satellites into space to fix this problem in a far more cost effective way.

Terrestrial wireless internet solutions are stupid. With a satellite you can be anywhere with line of sight to the southern sky and receive signal. With some shitty tower you're still constrained to your location just as you would be with wired, except that instead of a fast, low latency cable you have a noisy, outage prone wireless tower.

This is not a problem that needed to be solved by satellites. It is a failure of US politics that rural areas don't have broadband. We didn't need some private company to put satellites into low earth orbit for someone to watch a youtube video from their house reliably. The ongoing costs and complexities of running a global satellite network vs running a cable is insane.

This sounds like how solfeg training works. You use a hand signal to indicate a specific tone: do re mi fa so la ti

The cameras have had leaps if you're talking about that kind of timescale. Otherwise, I mostly agree.

I'd probably be fine still using my iPhone 3G were it not for the camera. An upgrade every 2-3 years feels practically mandatory for better photos.

Honestly the biggest thing I notice is the 5x zoom camera, everything else is a "wow that's nice" when I do a direct comparison, but I promptly forget about it (similar to looking at 4K HD vs 480i and then promptly forgetting about it when actually watching the movie; so many times I've realized it was using the older smaller file).

Battery life, I guess, if I had to pick something else.

Have they started becoming better again? I had the X before the current 13 and am still regularly disappointed by the camera.

It's not a new thing to bring up that OTel is difficult to get correct. This was a criticism levied before the AI era.

I don’t like the name of the product.

Hey get back to work on my pr
