    Apple Unveils iPhone Duo, Foldable iPhone, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max

    One difference is that the Samsung had two-stage aperture control (basically either max or min aperture) whereas the iPhone one has a few midway aperture settings. I'm personally somewhat skeptical about how much use I would get out of this.

    Apple Unveils iPhone Duo, Foldable iPhone, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max

    I'll probably buy one; I'm fairly all-in on the ecosystem and the open/close animation is sweet. This is absolutely a frivolous, unnecessary expense, but my life is full of such things that I don't need but do want. This mostly checks that box. I am a bit disappointed at not having a robust...

    Token Monitor Tool

    Nice idea and tool! It's often helpful to allow for display of token budget reset windows, and as always having the means to translate tokens to currency (where applicable) can be useful.

    What LLM/Model you using?

    I'm lucky to have a pair of M3 Ultra studios with 256GB and a single one with 512GB, chained. I've been able to run Deepseek V4 Pro at 4-bit quant but there are some rather severe context window limitations. Llama 3.1 405B at 16-bit runs fairly well and is probably the best / most useful model...

    How AI will fail

    AI is also a tool that is used by humans.

    How AI will fail

    This. When the automobile came along, people opined about how that will fail because a horse can go places that the automobile can’t. Same for automatic starters. Air conditioning, who needs that when you can buy ice and ceiling fans. Electricity in the home. Total failure. Mobile phones, no...

    Apple intros MacBook Neo: $599 with an iPhone chip

    What a bizarre review. Every other sentence mentioned MacBook Neo. Not a single word about any of the laptops the XPS 13 actually competes with… you know… Windows laptops. Just Neo Neo Neo again and again. Then there was this amazing line: “Windows is very intelligent when it comes to memory...

    Apple intros MacBook Neo: $599 with an iPhone chip

    Yeah, it's not really my speed. Seems better suited to the sort who whine about Apple products and any positive press coverage of them, for months on end, in an online discussion forum. That sort of person would find this Honor laptop deeply appealing.

    LG G6 ?

    Interesting, I had a KS8000 as well and it lasted a very, very long time. I only replaced it with a G5 last year. Fantastic sets, both of them. I'm one of the few people with both a CX48 and a newer C model specific the C5 42". The C5 42" has fully supplanted my CX48 and after some firmware...

    Meta’s Embrace of A.I. Is Making Its Employees Miserable

    Sadly no but I don’t need to work for money any longer. It’s more about the fun of solving complicated problems these days. And these tools let me solve more and more complicated problems.

    Is Paralells stable enough to run Windows on Mac as a daily driver?

    A Studio is a rather powerful and expensive piece of kit - congratulations! I echo what some others have said - if you can sell it, it might be worth doing so. In your shoes, the reason to keep it would be to have a world class platform for dipping one's feet into AI workloads at home...

    Meta’s Embrace of A.I. Is Making Its Employees Miserable

    I was just thinking how it wasn’t that long ago that Elon Musk was fully supportive of the Yang Gang and government funded universal income. Four years later he’s tearing down government because it spends too much. Who know where we’ll be in another few years.

    Meta’s Embrace of A.I. Is Making Its Employees Miserable

    Yeah it’s just another tool. And like all tools, some can learn to use it effectively and others will hurt themselves. The same people who mess things up with AI would lose a limb if handed a chainsaw or a finger if handed a bandsaw.

    Meta’s Embrace of A.I. Is Making Its Employees Miserable

    Not at Meta but another big tech. I love how AI has transformed my work. Burning through roughly $200 worth of tokens each day but I am 10x more productive. Analytics, code issues, data generation, even process improvements—all 10x to 100x faster.
