I was not impressed with how wide the iPhone Duo is when folded closed. The whole idea is supposed to be something like a cell phone that expands to something like an iPad. They basically copied the Samsung Galaxy or similar phones with no

$12,000 for the base model is insane. I have an Apple M3 Max with 128GB RAM that can run 120B parameter models using like 80 watts of electricity at about 15-20 tokens/sec. It's not amazing for 120B parameter models but it's

People don't realize that all of our problems lately are stemming from lack of truly representative government. Until we find a way to ensure political candidates aren't corrupt and bought off, there will always be corruption, do

Why does data collection, ostensibly something that should be mandatory for proper signals to run the country, stop when the government shuts down but we can still send billions to Israel?
