I got in huge trouble hosting one of these when I was a kid. I saw some call-to-arms post that got me excited for the free internet and set it up on my parents' residential service. You can imagine the fallout. No permanent damage thou

Certainly seems intended to drive Workspace subscriptions, but I wonder how many of those users will sign up for Office instead.

I think a general understanding is still useful, you just don't need all of the details anymore. The brain loves these kinds of shortcuts. I don't need to think about the fine motor skills of hitting a baseball, it's just a m

I think it's hilarious that this detail is enough for me to dismiss looking into the model, but here we are, and it is.

Luna saw a huge jump after the price cut and is one of the more competitive models at the new price on openrouter. Maybe they want to see how much market they can grab with Sol? This might help but there are already cheaper models with Sol&

Are they durable? If I can ruin the screen with my fingernail, I'm completely uninterested.

You can use an external drive if it's mounted as a writable volume. I would make sure it's fast, maybe thunderbolt 3/4/5 enclosure with a fast drive.

My friends can't ride horses as well as they used to, they've been using cars to get around too much. Sure horses are more efficient, but cars are faster and more convenient, and allow you to get a lot more done. Also cars will ge

Apple's tablets are great, but I think we're just pretty close to the limit for these entertainment devices. I have a now 7(!) year old Tab S5e that I use to consume media, and it's 5.5mm thick, with 10 hours of battery, a 16

They're definitely more popular right now, but they've been a winner since M1. Great performance, quiet, efficient. It would be tough to get a windows machine at that price that gets anywhere close on performance, especially if yo

There's very good steam integration, a controller first UI, it's very performant, sleep works better, fantastic performance monitoring and settings. I love it, but there's probably not a whole bunch of reason to run it on thi

Agree with everything here. Anecdote: I purchased an EV this year, my highest priority was range per dollar, and the vehicle I selected happened to be new because of current market conditions. (Equinox EV for under 25k otd after incentives)

I agree, claude is an impressive agent but it seems like it's impatient and trying to make its own thing, tries to make its own tests when I already have them, etc. Maybe better for a new project. GPT 5 (at least with cline) reads what

Roller coaster tycoon is good. The business software I have to work with from the 80s is a straight up nightmare. And I'd say most old software is in this camp.

I just switched to the iPhone with the new cycle, explicitly because of this news. Sideloading was the killer feature for me as well.

I agree, it's like they looked at GPT 3.5 one time and said "this isn't for me" The big 3 - Opus 4.1 GPT5 High, Gemini 2.5 Pro Are astonishing in their capabilities, it's just a matter of providing the right context

I don't know, it's nice to have icons and buttons that actually look like what they're going to do instead of amorphous blobs.

I read the article linked above with all of the testing they did to identify the cause, I'd definitely have no trouble buying from them in the future. Reminiscent of the tylenol case study, handled a tough situation correctly and it&#x

Sure it can, easiest way is to get ollama, then `ollama run gemma3n` You can pair it with tools like simonw's LLM to pipe stuff to it.

The author implies they're a highschool aged programmer. They're likely along for the ride with their parents and very online. I'd probably do the same thing at their age.

I think they are fairly interchangeable, In Roo Code, Claude uses the tools better, but I prefer gemini's coding style and brevity (except for comments, it loves to write comments) Sometimes I mix and match if one fails or pursues a p

I've been actively developing a commercially deployed SvelteKit application, and I'd like to share some thoughts on my experience. What initially drew me to SvelteKit was its simplicity. After setting up the project, I could work

The default model on ollama is the 7b distillation. Its ability to solve basic math problems with reasoning is pretty cool, but other models of that size (qwen 2.5, phi4) have been generally more useful to me. These tiny models still strike

These benchmarks have even the small models absolutely demolishing Sonnet-3.5, which doesn't reflect my subjective experience. It still seems to me that these models are 'dumb' and often don't understand what I'm as

While this raises valid concerns, Copilot and friends can actually enhance learning by exposing devs to new patterns and approaches. They still require problem-solving and critical evaluation skills. By handling routine tasks, they free up
