The difference is that it has the same aspect ratio folded and unfolded. If you look at other folding phones the inside screen is twice the area, but the shape of the phone is different. 1 : sqrt(2) is the only ratio where you can fold one

It's mathematically the only aspect ratio where this holds and thus you can resize in half and nothing has to move around.

An M5 pro max with 128gb of RAM is $5200 so I’d expect some kind of price in that range. I imagine it’s for AI researchers, professionals who work with models. Software engineers who want local models instead of cloud models. To be honest,

Interesting, maybe it just doesn't bother me, because I do not notice it at all. I was looking at black text on a white background. Maybe it's less of an impact on Q-OLEDs with their pixel layout perhaps? I just checked and I actu

Yes, totally. By introduced I didn't mean they were the first in the space but rather they have introduced it to the laptops they're shipping now. But yes, it's been a thing for awhile on other architectures as well.

I just tested on my 4k display and 150% and 175% were not blurry at all. I'm on a 32 inch 4k monitor. Is it possible this information is out of date and was fixed by more recent versions of macos?

Many newer Windows laptops are now having their ability to update ram and storage removed as well. I believe the newest intel architecture introduced this, but my information might be out of date.

This is super helpful, thank you!

I was working on a similar project. I wanted a way to goldfish my decks against many kinds of decks in a pod. It would never be perfect, but enough to get an idea of: 1. How many turns did it take on average to hit 2,3,4,5,6 mana 2. How man

Yes, Sam A said that "erotica" was coming to openAI. I don't think he's mentioned visual pornography though https://www.axios.com/2025/10/14/openai-chatgpt-erotica-ment...

I think it’s a really cool product. I would happily own one. The problem I have with it is that $400 is a LOT for a chef knife. A great knife and an awesome sharpener can be easily had for $150, or $250 if you get a top of the line sharpene

I am like you, but my concern with this knife is lifespan. My Japanese knives will last a lifetime. This knife has no warranty that I could find, but how long do we expect it to live? If it’s 10 years or so, I could be happy with it.

It's not a problem for me to be without my phone for a few hours, as I can still text from my Mac (except for RCS + SMS messages). But yes, it's definitely a downside. I prefer the comfort and weight of a caseless phone. For me, t

I'm sorry you had that experience. That has not been my experience, but I am on the latest iPhone so I could see that an older model might have more trouble. Hope you have a better experience in the future, it's not acceptable tha

My original comment was getting a lot of traction originally and has been on a downward spiral since, down to 41 at the time of this.

That's part of the Great Filter answer to the Fermi paradox. Though, I agree, it's not really a paradox. If the great filter is true, the first filter is life forming at all. We hope that the filter is behind us and that's wh

AppleCare+ is really good IMO if you're interested in caseless. I can get my screen or back replaced same day for as little as $29. On my iPhone 17 I've broken the screen twice and gotten repairs done same day.

I'm glad those people are able to now support a family. At least we have that, if nothing else.

You are correct that I was unable to summarize an incredibly complex tangled web of economics, sociology and politics in a few hundred words on a forum. I don't think any of us can do this. Of course it's an oversimplification. Is

Is your usual breakfast spot a location with more than 60 locations? The minimum wage increase here only applied to chains with more than 60 locations. A lot of what you're describing is nation-wide. Food is more expensive everywhere.

The title is “WHY” to leave GitHub. The why is significantly lacking. I was more interested in reasons why I would consider an alternative, so that’s why I clicked at all. Also I read the entire article, twice. I read it before I commented

Yes that’s correct.

The problems I’ve given CC are things that are incredibly simple and basic. Things I knew how to fix immediately. I would tell it the gilt to change and how to change it. And it will get lost when the types are incorrect, or when it causes

I have had the exact opposite experience. Claude Code in any meaningful codebase for me gets stuck in loops of doing the wrong thing. Then when that doesn't work it deletes files and makes its own that don't have the problem it&#x

The title says WHY to ditch github. There's maybe 2 sentences where that is discussed. That's really all I was interested in, "Why should I leave github to something with fewer features and less community support". This

I would have loved to see that talked about more. I disagree that it's pretty clear. I just read it again and the "Why" (which again is in the title) is lacking for me. I didn't find this article particularly useful or i

There was very little "Why" in this article. It seems like: 1. Microsoft bad 2. USA bad 3. I had a gut feeling. I think the Actions support being so lacking is a deal breaker for us. I know we can bring our own. But I really don&#
