The car industry A/B tested selling a car with and without CarPlay and the results are not shocking

โœจ Read this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: cars ยท August 20, 2026 ยท 3 min read A couple years ago, GM made waves by saying that soon, all their new cars would be completely free of Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto support, instead opting for the "Android Automotive OS" in their cars. Admittedly, I'm a huge fan of CarPlay for basic safety reasons and how it lets you hear or send texts without ever having to look at or touch your phone, so I was not happy to hear this news. I…

Finder is so frustrating and has been since day one

โœจ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Chad Maltby, September 2026 Let me tell you why. When you save something the Mac dumps you into a folder somewhere. You may or may not move away from that. Then you save. Later, both Finder and Spotlight require you to know something. Where the file is, what it is called, or some content to surface it for you. It requires some knowledge on your part. If I am saving many files every day, it is a thin knowledge. If I worked all day yesterday…

๐Ÿš€ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: tl;dr Try it at https://trynix.dev. Click hello, or python 3.6.2 from 2017, or two eras of hello at once, or a package that exists in no public cache. A Linux machine boots in the tab and you get a shell with those Nix packages on PATH. This is my magnum opus of Nix work. I knew all the ideas I have been creating were building blogs for something greater: nixpkgs-multiverse indexed every version of every package nixpkgs ever shipped, grail taught it version ranges and…

How I feel about AI

๐Ÿ”ฅ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: I feel surprise at how well neural networks work. LLMs work like "gut feeling" as they just generate one more token after another. There is no planning or reasoning algorithm inside. Yet, some planning and reasoning emerges. I feel fear about an impending doom. Yudkowsky's argument that a superintelligent AI will inevitably destroy humanity seems to have no flaw. Yet, nobody seriously tries to sandbox AIs because they are too useful with access. I feel disgust about AI companies destroying the open web society. Their…
