Imagine if Apple truly went the route of local AI and every Mac came with a fully local, open weight Siri. They could put Anthropic and OpenAI out of business.

Fable 5 was amazing and then I switched to Opus 5 because it was supposed to be similar in ability but half the price and... it was fine but it definitely wrote in a very weird way that annoyed me all the time. Nice to know that others feel

Need to upgrade to a second 3090! Slowly building up my local models with Krea2, MiniMax H3 (and their new Music3), and now Qwen 3.8

Sounds kinda annoying to work purely on an iPhone, but very cool experiment nonetheless!

Instead of competing with other nations, what if we all worked together as humans?

Saw another comment that said this will give Apple the opportunity to learn if people really want a thinner iPhone. I hope they learn that people don't. Curious to find out the answer.

I just can't imagine anyone wanting this? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but do people really want a thinner phone? I love my 16 Pro and plan to get the 17 Pro. Definitely feel like thicker and longer battery is better. Heavier f

I got this view the other day and was shocked. Went and found a browser plugin to fix it. But I wish our voices could be heard or we could give some feedback.

As a game dev who's been learning ASM recently this was very fun to read through. Wish there was a compiled ROM I could try, but I guess I have to do it myself!

Very interesting. To me TikTok is nothing but memes and useless stuff. Whereas Instagram has been an amazing community for many of my passions. And now Threads is gaining in popularity as well (it really feels like hope scrolling in compari

I bought my 20 month old son a balance bike for Christmas and he's already able to balance on it a month later while going down the sidewalk. Great method!

Living in Southern California, I like to go on walks with my family in the evenings or mornings, but I couldn't imagine having to take public transportation or having to walk everywhere. It seems picturesque, but it also sounds terribl

Totally agree with this. I have a 9-5 that I don't hate, but I would love to just spend time with my family and focus on my hobbies. I would be beyond happy doing that for the rest of my life.

Pretty huge breakthrough. Hopefully we'll be able to access this soon. Between this, SVD, and others, 2024 is going to be the year of AI Video.

Curious what other devices people have that use USB-C? The only one I have is my Nintendo Switch. So for me, this is mostly an inconvenience having to get new cables for my phone. I'll miss Lightning.

That is probably how I would feel as a parent as well. Though, just to put it out there, if you're a donor your retained kidney grows and makes up for the one that was removed. Also, you're given priority on the waiting list in th

This probably isn't a viable solution for my father who has been on dialysis for 2 years and is in ESRD. I am a candidate for a kidney transplant for him (I went through the whole process), but he has other issues that have been preven

I've been making a game using GBDK (C) and a little engine called ZGB for the past several years, but the work that Chris and the team have done on GB Studio makes me want to switch to the platform. I'll still finish my game using

I've been using GPTPlayer with my GBDK project. Is there any benefit to me switching to HUGE?

When I got married, my wife was subscribed to HP Instant Ink. Was one of the first things I cancelled. I couldn't believe that the ink didn't work afterwards. Made me want to reverse engineer it somehow, but wasn't really wor

The company I work for uses ChatGPT, StableDiffusion, ElevenLabs, and lots of other AI tools every day now. We make ads and use it to generate scripts, create "stock" photos, fake voice over, etc. We even have started training our

Coming at this from a layman's perspective, would it be possible to generate a different sort of spectrogram that's designed for SD to iterate upon even more easily?

This will be a losing battle for artists. Anyone can train any data they want. It's the equivalent of a human learning to draw someone else's art style or take photos the same as a famous photographer. There is no stopping it now

I’ve had to use MilkyTracker on my Mac for creating .mod files for Game Boy development over the past couple of years. I’ve learned workarounds for nearly everything and gotten really good at using it, but I keep telling myself I’m going to

It depends on where you live. If you live in California, you should not be purchasing Greek olive oil as it will oxidize by the time it gets to you. 100% Californian olive oil is the way to go for health. Or better yet just use coconut oil

I sorta disagree. During Covid, the entire world came together. I think the world can work together as long as they're forced to.

I'm in a slightly similar situation. I have a job that's fine, but not my dream. Working on my dream on the side. But wife is currently pregnant, so my wife quit her job and we moved in with my parents. I know that might not be ev
