This is up to October 2025 though, yes? Obviously things are continually moving but Opus 4.5 launched in November and that was a recognised step change in capability. An up to date comparison would be interesting.

Not according to our TAM who said that wasn’t possible, nor was a backout forthcoming and they had no inkling that this was going to happen. They didn’t even know it had happened until support tickets came in. We’ve terraformed our way pa

I had a call the other day with a consultancy to potentially pick up some infrastructure work/project type stuff. Asked about timezones involved and they said a lot of their clientele are US based startups. "So it's mainly Ku

My son Oliver was born with mitochondrial disease and was killed by conditions associated with it at the age of 19. Some of the people mentioned in the report here were involved in his diagnosis and care. His life deteriorated from that of

I remember the knowledge/idea of illegal opcodes for the C64 slowly making their way through the hacker/cracker community. Like secret knowledge being distilled back then via BBS

I love the C64 but the Atari 8-bit line was fine indeed (one of my first exposures to home computing was Star Raiders at a family friends house - blew me away). Archer Maclean, author of Dropzone (and other titles) famously labelled them th

I bought a Logitech MX Ergo a couple of years back and genuinely love it for many of the reasons other trackballs users cite in this thread - but I have noticed in the last few months that my thumb joint will get 'stuck' and makes

It seems like a lot of the opposition to this I’m seeing online is because Trump is the one that granted it. Ridiculous hyperbole about Ross ‘inventing the Dark Web’ or ‘Trump freed a sex trafficker’ is a great reminder that for some people

I was considering this just last night lamenting the state of my Twitter/X feed. The paid engagement incentive has had the unintended effect of ruining what’s on offer and clearly much of it is bot/AI created. Lots of threads of c

There was quite the mystique around Ultimate in those early days. So much so in fact that when I was 10 years old there was a conspiracy theory going around that the colours of their logo were a secret nod to an amazing game they would only

Ghost in the Wires is a laugh out loud read for me. I told him it should be a movie and he said there was a screenplay. Hope it sees the light of day.

I agree. Honestly if I’m browsing for something new and it has several seasons it puts me off even starting. I don’t want to invest that much time into something when the quality is pretty much guaranteed to drop as time goes on.

I love how much development work is still going on for the C64 (and other old computers). There seem to be more game launches now than during some months during it's heyday

This book grabbed my eye too, but then I saw Matthew Sweet on Twitter (@DrMatthewSweet) kept questioning the studies used and suggesting that Hari has cherry picked results to support his point. I've no idea if this was the case but so

I've recently been reading Galileo's Error by Philip Goff which covers a lot of this ground (he's a proponent of panpsychism). Quite an interesting look into the various arguments though I thought (I previously had no backg

One thing I don't see mentioned too much is just how slow it was. Not to mention confusing. I expect a lot of people were simply put off from using it after taking a look.

I’ll check that keyboard out! Many thanks.

I'm in the market for something like this for on call purposes. Something small/light enough to stow in a coat pocket but which has a physical keyboard and enough functionality for me to be able to triage most issues without havin

Compressing cracked games was a big thing too. There would be a lot of competition to get the smallest version of a game for faster downloading from a BBS, getting more games on a floppy disk etc. Getting the best compression software was a

I enjoyed watching this but it felt a bit disjointed in comparison to his other productions.. almost as though he had ton of clips left over from his other documentaries that he didn't want to go to waste. The style remains eminently
