Personal highlight: Seems like the GLOWING apple logo is back!

(don't care about the touchscreen)

The strangest thing is that with Thunderbolt 4+ you could easily do this in software only I suppose?

Thats my setup - Mac Studio with two 32” monitors.

Would just be nice if I could buy the monitors from apple too.

I wish they would make big displays again. Like 32” big 6K.

24” or even 27” feels like such a downgrade.

Also please make the iMacs usable as external monitors agains. Would buy one as a “livingroom computer” instantly if it was also possible to occasionally use it as a docking station for an air..

Is this a truely open source model or also open weights?

I’m working with clients (big companies) that care a lot - but not because they have to. They care because they lost trust in non EU players.

Agreed.

what a broken ecosystem.. The crazy thing is not that the package exists, but that it is used by JS devs.

It's not what I say, it's what the numbers say.

The car industry is struggling - but the German economy is more than VW..

The real underlying issue is the economic pressure - much worse in East Germany than in West Germany. People have problems, but the real problems are not immigration or green politics.

IMO they explain it well here:

“Germany's economy will grow by 1.3% in 2026, RWI said, upwardly revising its forecast of 0.8% growth in June.”

I would want to know the pricing before I’d move anything there.

It should cost money - I just want to know how much.

motan | Software Developer C#/.NET (4 openings) | Isny im Allgäu, Germany | ONSITE (partial home office) | Full-time | NO VISA (EU work authorisation required)

I'm the architect of the software platform. My mail is in my profile - write me directly if you are interested or have questions.

Only a matter of time now until we can run models with Opus like capabilities on our own hardware.

This will probably when the bubble bursts..

IMO we are reaching the point where AI models are simply a commodity. Opus (since ~4.6) is sufficient for everything I tried coding wise. I use it to write features (but I review and understand every line it spits out) and to review code.

For code review I also still review everything myself, but use Opus to catch stuff I missed and to judge if a PR is even ready for me to review.

After just updating Claude Code to the latest version I thought about picking Fable (the bigger model) instead of Opus.

But I have no reason to. Opus does everything I want it to do. It could do it faster - that would be an improvement. But for the normal stuff we reached the point where better models are not worth it IMO.

There still might be cases where you want to throw Fable at it.

Yup - IMO it’s just the wrong tool for the job.

From the landing page:

“Written (vibe-slopped) in Go. In beta forever.”

Okay - No thanks.

finally!

Hope we’ll do the same in germany.

Let’s hope macOS 27 fixes liquid glass. For now I’m not updating.

+1 exact same situation.

having Tahoe on my MacBook made me appreciate Sequoia on my mac Studio. A real downgrade..

Yeah - It feels similar to me.

Why share something that anyone can just “prompt into existence”?

Architecture wise and also just from a code quality perspective I have yet to encounter AI generated code that passes my quality bar.

Vibe coding is great for a PoC but we usually do a full rewrite until it’s production ready.

————

Might be a hot take, but I don’t think people who can’t code should ship or publish code. They should learn to do it and AI can be a resource on the way.. but you should understand the code you “produce”. In the end it’s yours, not the AIs code.

Most solutions already exist as open source software.

.NET 10 + Avalonia is rock solid for cross platform UI

It’s in progress. Most of Europe slept on that - thats true.

But pretty sure we’ll figure it out over the next decade.

It’s good if you’re rich I assume

Yeah. Seems like in Europe we figured out the basics and can now improve in “non essential “ areas. Meanwhile the US has no universal healthcare..

I hope with change in leadership correction of these things will be possible again. Not just Alan Dye, but Tim Cook is rumored to leave in the next year too.

> ..Jobs would've crucified a few people

And rightfully so. Tahoe is not just a step back, but it throws away so many good design elements that have been there for ages - and for no good reason.

I really hope they revert most of the design changes in macOS 27. I don't mind the Liquid Glass - the other changes they made to expose/highlight Liquid Glass are the real issue.

IMO we reached peak design in 2013 with Mavericks.

Hah, really? If you enter recovery mode and install an OS via network it installs the OS the device originally shipped with, right?

On an Intel-based Mac:

- If you used Option-Command-R to start up from Internet Recovery, you might get the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac.

- If you used Shift-Option-Command-R to start up from Internet Recovery, you might get the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
