Same, disabled internet access on my LG years ago using the router config. It’s good that it at least doesn’t stop working without internet

I got X3 because it was on the ads all over my internet. My idea was that I can stick it to my phone when I go out or commute and don’t want to bring my standard Kobo reader, so I can read more instead of doomscrolling So far, my impression

I was looking at $10k Mac Studio with M5 Ultra and 256 GB for local experiments, but then struggled to find what really good modern model I can fit into it. Yes, it can run a good dense 27B at Q8 with plenty of context, but what beyond that

I haven’t had a chance to compare side by side, but people say that if you primarily read books/prose, the BW version is better because the screen is more crisp compared to the color version, which is still a bit blurry when you read b

Yes, but I write this putting an ‘average AI company CEO’ hat on. We hear statements about outstanding intelligence (not just usefulness as a tool, which is no doubt already there), so it’s interesting to see that the authors themselves don

I’m also curious how it really ’weights’ all the instructions coming from main system prompt, my system prompt, skills/plugins, CLAUDE.ms, and nearby code/comments/readme. It clearly should follow some reasonable hierarchy, b

> A prompt implying an image is present doesn't mean one is (the person may have forgotten to upload it), so Claude checks for itself. Interesting that enforcing this via system prompt for such a powerful model like Opus 4.8 doesn’t

I’m a huge fan of Mozilla and Firefox specifically, but I don’t think that the way classical adblock extensions are made is the right way. Instead, it should be done as Apple/Safari do it [1]: the browser provides an API to hook/s

Idk, I actually got the opposite impression. Most of the info is just what I would expect everyone to see: date formats, languages, various webview kind of stuff, network info. This is already more than enough for fingerprinting > inform

You are right, but I think you miss the whole point of the agentic workflows that are being discussed in this post comments. Yes, you surely can read man, docs, whatever, then DIY. The point is that in many areas people don’t really want to

Just speculating and thinking out loud. I think this might be a good news for AI-skeptics. Going with IPO means that investors finally want to get some cash that they cannot get by any other means. There are good examples of private market

Idk, with the One they already seem to try to claim too many things for a single device. Adding a keyboard and a bigger screen will be even bigger scope creep. As a Zero user, I really like the compact form-factor And just personal imo, for

The job market all over the world is ultimately changing. Wars, AI, energy crisis, etc. — it’s a combination of factors. Yet, the article is too shallow, so it doesn’t clarify much. The two examples are not really representative, “press spo

I’m also confused by their examples. All of them seem to be perfect renders/exports from 3D models — this is not the use case where I see it the most useful. Making a parametrized CAD model out of a hand-drawn sketch — yes, please

by ololobus 4mo ago
I think this is true under assumption that you know the CAD tool well. From my recent experience (I have a 3D printer), I regularly find myself in a situation where I know what I want to do, I can do measurements and I can make a sketch on

Does it require core patches or I can install it into the standard upstream Postgres? Asking because, afaik, it did, but it might that something has changed already.

Interesting point of view, didn't know about Jevon's paradox before. To me, the outcome still depends on whether AI can get superhuman [1] (and beyond) at some point. If it can, then, well, we will likely indeed see that suitable-

I'd totally agree with this point if we assume that efficiency/performance growth will flatten at some point. For example, if it gets logarithmic soon, then the progress will grow slowly over the next decades. And then, yes, it wi

Love it. I do very occasional birdwatching, so I still don’t know most of the birds I meet. What I like about Bird ID is that when I see in binoculars a singing bird I can quickly identify it, check photos, and really confirm that it’s exac

I was wondering how cartridges are designed and I think it’s a very simple and elegant design — just wire the standard microSD card. Otherwise, I love such cozy projects. Even if they are not that efficient, they solve the problem and bring

I can only second this. I have an old iPhone with a second sim-card, because I need it from time to time. And Apple introduced this auto-reboot a bit earlier, iirc last year. The problem is that after rebooting it also disconnects from wifi

I got mine at the end of 2021 and then used it till the mid-2023. I know that it’s not a fair comparison, but I still compare it to macbooks because I’m a mac user for years. Pros - Linux support is amazing, basically you just install one o
