Exactly. I once had the theory that crocodiles in the Arctic and glaciers in the Sahara were just the effect of the axis tumbling, but then Claude confidently educated me that, thanks to some explicit calculations by Einstein(!), it's not possible for a spinning ball to tumble that much.

2k private unicorns that's less than individual billionaires. Interesting.

Is it really possible that none of the recent crazy robot videos made it to your timeline??

Why not? Extreme superiority of the Chinese supply chain network startup energy price market

I'd rather have a mechanism to remove the 100 GB of old simulator images for Apple Watch and TVOS, which I never use and which can't be uninstalled without disabling security and rebooting to safe mode all the time.

In Xcode, go to Window > Devices and Simulators in the menu bar (or press Shift+Cmd+2), then select the Simulators tab in the sidebar to open the list of simulators. Here you can select and delete simulators.

This is how I always did it. Why would the alternative involve going into safe mode? Pretty sure I've manually deleted those files before too.

Sure if you've fried your brain so much you're incapable of doing anything at all for yourself.

It's not about brain. Time is limited. If you chase all these little things you die - death by a thousand cuts.

Chasing maximum productivity in an attempt to outrun time sounds a lot worse if you ask me.

That's one way to twist it. What I'm intending to say is that you offload tedious bullshit to AI agents so you can focus on stuff you enjoy and live your life. And for people that like doing things like changing xcode settings (more than time with their kids) there is nobody stopping them from doing that.

Somehow people already had time with their kids before Claude. And before computers. Enjoying life is not a technology problem.

When I read things like this all I can imagine is a farmer responding in a similar fashion to people talking about using tractors.

It would be more accurate to describe it as farmers renting out their fields and no longer practicing farming, so they forget how to farm.

People should really know how to delete sims, but there's a ton of obscure Xcode nonsense that in the "old days" people would blindly trust Stackoverflow answers or even blogs to fix. If Xcode is a tractor, it's the old thing you whack with a wrench and say "come on Bessie" to make it temporarily work again, not something most devs really understand.

Name checks out.

I just don’t have enough time for that.

I don’t have enough tokens for that so I have to do it for myself.

You don’t have enough tokens for time pressure?

"Claude, that thing they just said."

`xcrun simctl delete unavailable` will delete unavailable simulators. `xcrun simctl list` and `xcrun simctl delete ` will delete specific devices. I run unavailable all the time after updating to get disk space back.

`xcrun simctl runtime list` and `xcrun simctl runtime delete ` will clean up actual runtimes.

While I agree, that affects an order of magnitude smaller number of people.

Isn’t there a UI to remove those inside Xcode? I just used to trash them in Finder but it sounds like that changed.

For me once it redownloaded and the next time xcode just refused to work and didn't even redownload. So it seems it has changed (or for me). The problem is, with Apple you don't even know it was done hostilely or it was just their, now well-establisehd, software incompetence. Because in their case both are aplenty.

Because it would definitely be too difficult to do both for a ~$5T market cap company?

they have a ui/tool for that, but ok.

lol seriously, this is a solved problem

Also, it's a very small and dumb model. That's the only reason why it's so fast.

their stable income is eaten away by the quickly rising income of the labs, they will be out of the race once the labs reach a certain threshold of income, rather sooner than later. Unless many people install Google surveillance anti-gravity thing on their system which I doubt

Maybe you should check latest Google's earning calls - nothing what you describe is actually happening.

There's a lot of AI hate these predictions aren't taking into account

imagine agents getting that fast

You are aware of the rule that any company has to have a CCP representative in the leadership?

(Similar to how U.S. labs have NSA leadership)

I'm aware of Article 17 of the Company Law of the People's Republic of China https://english.court.gov.cn/2016-04/14/c_761425_2.htm "The grass-root organizations of the Communist Party of China in companies shall carry out their activities in accordance with the Constitution of the Communist Party of China." but not any rule requiring them to be in leadership positions specifically. Maybe you could point me to it?

Even if there's a party member at the C-level of some company making day-to-day business decisions, that doesn't necessarily mean they're carrying out detailed instructions from higher-ups in the party as opposed to following their own best judgment. The CCP generally doesn't micro-manage everything, but operates more in a "mission tactics"-like way, where the top level gives out a broad goal that gets condensed down into a slogan like "new productive forces," and interpreting and elaborating on the details is left to lower levels who seek to align their initiatives with the top-level goals (e.g. by describing AI as a "new productive force") and initiatives that appear successful will get blessed as official policy.

That different companies follow different strategies when it comes to model releases is clear evidence that there is no unified party line on this question yet.
