I recently replaced the battery in my Series 6. I’ve never noticed it feeling slow.

Amusing, but do people actually prompt in the style of any of the options given? All this for what is ultimately a PEBCAK error.

There are hundreds of benchmarks. You just need to pick a favorable dozen on release day.

Does the word "flash" mean a specific thing when it comes to LLM models? I noticed that this word is used by gemini, qwen, and z.ai and I'm curious does it mean the same thing for each one, or did they all just accidentally

Nitter and Xcancel should just announce that they’re training an LLM. Seems to be a get-out-of-scrape free card these days.

No, but there’s more incentive to propagate the trope of you or your friends find themselves in a position where downplaying a federal indictment is a PR move you’d want to make. Yes, that could be anyone, but the indictment rate by party o

You don’t know that. Also, fixing bugs is good.

More color to this tidbit: He was a republican. He wanted to stop using grand juries to bring indictments, so he wasn’t impartial in his assessment. Unrelatedly, he had an affair with a republican fund-raiser. When it ended, started making

Everyone was saying they shouldn’t just accept the LLM’s output without cautious review. Seems they took the time to make sure it was a good release. Not sure why that doesn’t sound like a valid reason not to rush to you.

Be honest, though: had they shipped earlier—which they probably could have safely done—they would have been called “reckless” by the detractors. There was no way to make them happy here.

If there’s only 3 copies in existence, and everyone on the frontier wants it in their corpus, what do you think will happen?

I don’t think so. The ChatGPT app was, which is the “Classic” app now. The Codex app that they’re carrying forward is an Electron app and if you forget to quit it before you walk away it’ll make even your M5 Max unresponsive eventually. Sad

Probably for the ease of coding extensions — which strikes me as outdated thinking: if it’s open source and you’re outsourcing the coding to LLMs, why not use a compiled, safe language? There’s an interesting counter example for DeepSeek ca

No, shrinking portions while also charging proportionally less would be the best thing we could do.

I use IntelliJ at my current gig—and the CoPilot plugin for AI, because it’s what I have access to—and it has become ClaudeCode-esque of late: sub-agents, skills, tool-calling, hooks…and continues to improve. It’s unfortunate how the AI-in-

No doubt. Government is already on the ropes in the struggle against billionaires and large industrial/resource-extraction lobbies. If anything, that’s what needs counterweight.

I suppose it could be that if one’s intent is to mislead, then obfuscating the name of a technique specifically meant for that purpose is a feature, not a bug.

Fun and useful PR jargon to describe what this post smells like: a “limited hangout”. (a damage-control strategy where an organization or individual admits to a portion of a secret or scandal after a cover story fails, while still hiding th

Since the objective was never disclosed, one might assume it was to deplete our magazine depth.

Good observation. I’m certainly not trying to over complicate things. That just tells us, though, that the bio-mechanical computation part is there before language, which I took as a foregone conclusion, it being meatware and all.

> humans reasoned before language That's an interesting supposition. Are you assuming language didn't exist before it was written? Language and meaning are, if you squint, pretty ancient and have roots in things like birdsong.

I'm not convinced—and certainly don't find it obvious—that this couldn't ultimately also be how we reason as humans. It's clear that there's an enormous amount of leverage built into language-as-practiced that one c
