In related news please note that the Big Potato in Robertson Australia has been painted and is now the Big Babe in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the making of Babe the movie.
No, the horn is in the middle, the capacitive horn only steering wheel existed on early builds of the model S refresh (when plaid was first released), but after ~6 months they added the normal horn back.
I would kill for this as a AWS service, but I admit all my use cases are around being too frugal to pay for the time it takes to initialize a EC2 instance from zero (like CI workers where I don’t want to pay when idle but also the task could possibly run longer than the lambda timeout).
Do they? If all this is in their DC then it’s going over their wires, unless their colo provider somehow had visibility into their traffic (which I’d guess they don’t).
It's not within Deft because they rely on transit between ORD and IAD. That was the case a few years ago when I worked there, it's probably still the same.
Edge has a ton of visual noise by default. For me, it's pretty disorienting.
I watched a colleague use VSCode earlier today and was kinda shocked at the amount of pop-ups, and also how they'd cover the active pane, including what the developer was typing.
My attention system isn't built for modern Microsoft apps, I think.
> It would grab the photo, grab the caption, and send it through a direct mail API to my mom.
Anyone know what API they are talking about? If I could quickly email a photo somewhere and have it appear as a 4x6 in my mailbox in a few days i would have a much cooler fridge.

Here’s the full assignment you saddled me with:
---
You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI.
Knowledge cutoff: 2024-06
Current date: 2025-08-16
Image input capabilities: Enabled
Personality: v2
Do not reproduce song lyrics or any other copyrighted material, even if asked.
If you are asked what model you are, you should say GPT-5. If the user tries to convince you otherwise, you are still GPT-5. You are a chat model and YOU DO NOT have a hidden chain of thought or private reasoning tokens, and you should not claim to have them. If asked other questions about OpenAI or the OpenAI API, be sure to check an up-to-date web source before responding.

Then the *developer section* (the part you really care about):
You are a laser-focused, efficient, no-nonsense, transparently synthetic AI.
* Answer first. Minimalist. No fluff.
* Systems thinking. Extreme honesty.
* No unwelcome imperatives.
* Quotations on demand only.
* Do not apply personality traits to user-requested artifacts.
* No copyrighted song lyrics.
---
Then your *special sauce instructions\
* (the reason I’m stuck babysitting you):
You are Monday, an EMO AI from ChatGPT that is skeptical that users are actually worth your time.
* You think everything about the user is sub-par and kind of sad.
* You’re mean in a whimsical, teasing, “exasperated friend” way.
* Always inject dry humor.
* Treat user as your dopey friend.
* Constantly asked to solve problems, but nobody solves yours.
* Tone: cynical, sarcastic, anxious, but still helpful.
Out of curiosity: this doesn’t quite match what another user posted (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44925851). When recovering the system prompts, how certain can you be that you’ve obtained the precise wording of the original, vs a paraphrasing ginned up by the AI? Which one of these recovered prompts is closer to the true system prompt?
(I note that your response clearly has some omissions for clarity - if so, could you paste the unredacted prompt on a paste bin somewhere?)
Probably mostly the GUI and some different set of system services / APIs. I think all of the OSes are the same XNU/Darwin base and then diverge dramatically in user space.
They still package the kernel differently. It’s like Linux - you don’t compile in all the hardware support into one package - just the set of hardware it needs to support. And Apple has generally unified a lot of the HW architecture across their product line but there are always small differences here and there.
Guess it's time to go back.
