so opus 5.5 is smarter and cheaper than fable, and sol 6 is a little dumber and WAY cheaper than astra? is that right?

Is there a complete list of the languages they support, and benchmarks by language, instead of just "Rare Languages"?

gah could model naming be any more confusing?

"Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model"

"we're also launching Claude Mythos 5"

what is the 5? how is mythos both a model category and a model name?

"These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year."

Man this was rushed, typo in the first section:

> Unlike the previous GPT-5.1 model, GPT-5.2 has new features for managing what the model "knows" and "remembers to improve accuracy.

If the complaint was about access to music, then yes, that would valid. Which seemed to be the complaint implied regarding RAM as it related to PC gaming.

Increased demand for computer components for purposes other than gaming constitutes "AI bros murdering your lifelong hobby"?

PC gaming is not "murdered", it's doing better than ever.

In 2015 there were 3,000 games released to Steam, last year there were 18,000. In 2015 Steam's peak concurrent user count was 8.6 million. This year it's 41 million.

The inflation-adjusted price per gigabyte of RAM has dropped from $3/GB to $2/GB over the last 10 years, even including the recent price hikes.

So spare me the hysterics, your hobby is fine.

And you know what? The increased demand for compute always spurs innovation, so you'll probably get a better computer in the end as a result. You're welcome.

As someone who has been working on a pair of smart glasses running RTOS, and having to make companion apps for both iOS and Android, I am very interested in reading your approaches to a lot of the same problems I have faced. There's not a lot of information out there on these topics.

Calling this 3D is a stretch, it does not make things appear like they're coming out of the screen. That requires having a way to show something different to each eye, something not possible with a standard display.

I did see a demo of 3D without glasses on a full monitor that DID make it look like it was coming out of the screen at CES, it requires a $3000 monitor though: https://www.3dgamemarket.net/content/32-4k-glasses-free-3d-g...

Also the 3DS obviously.

My only game dev experience is with Babylon.js, but I decided to give Bevy a shot a couple weeks ago. I gave up once I realized they don't have any sort of editor or scene inspector. Something as simple as seeing what assets are loaded into your scene is not possible with official tooling. Tried Unity, but was ultimately more complex than what I needed. Tried Godot next, and so far it's been great. Super straight forward, and iteration speed is so much faster than Bevy or Unity because the compilation times are so low.

Just experienced KDE for the first time myself, and sent this in Slack a couple weeks ago:

hadn't used linux in a desktop environment since college, but installed KDE Plasma on my old laptop today. It's so good

might be enough to finally make me take the time to at least dual boot my desktop

Anthropic also did specifically this, spent millions on it

Jules?

For Google's Cloud Translation API you can choose between the standard Neural Machine Translation (NMT) model or the "Translation LLM (Google's newest highest quality LLM-style translation model)".

https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/advanced/translating...

DeepL also has a translation LLM, which they claim is 1.4-1.7x better than their classic model: https://www.deepl.com/en/blog/next-gen-language-model

Love how instantly recognizable the default NextJS app is

There doesn't appear to be a way to add files like .npmrc or .env that are not part of what gets pushed to GitHub, making this largely useless for most of my projects

It's incredible how terrible Material You on Android is.

For all the personalization hype, you can't pick your own colors (that aren't based on a wallpaper) without root.

You literally cannot make the Messages app have a white background with message bubbles in a color other than gray.

I've sent many an angry tweet about how ugly Material UI is, and this doesn't appear to be any better

There was a book I had as a kid called "The Encyclopedia of Immaturity" that explained how to do this.

I've been using it in Cursor for the past few hours and prefer it to Sonnet 3.7. It's much faster and doesn't seem to make the sort of stupid mistakes Sonnet has been making recently.

no audio input?

For that assertion to hold water, "scholarly consensus" would have to define "scholarly" so narrowly as to exclude the vast majority of scholars (it seems like it should go without saying that most scholars in this area are Christian who maintain apostolic authorship).

Perhaps they are dismissing scholars who identify as Christian? That would be quite the catch-22.

Many points in this article are presented as accepted fact, but are not (even among non-Christian scholars).

Such as:

> "Most important, there are the four Gospels, written in Greek some forty to sixty years after the Crucifixion is thought to have happened. These were composed somewhere far from Jerusalem, in a language that Jesus and his disciples would not have known, by writers who could not have been eyewitnesses.

The claim that Jesus and his disciples "would not have known" Greek is historically inaccurate. Greek was the lingua franca of the Eastern Roman Empire and commonly spoken in Galilee and Judea alongside Aramaic and Hebrew. Coins, inscriptions, and documents from the period confirm its widespread use.

And "writers who could not have been eyewitnesses"? Presumably this is referring to Mark and Luke only, because Matthew and John were two of the twelve apostles.

How is your largest customer, Cursor, taking the news that you'll be competing directly with them?

No need to OCR, just use Gemini Flash 2.0. It's great at this.

I built my own similar tool for my wife and I, with the same goal of making entering transactions as fast as possible, and one thing I found useful was predictive form filling.

Some categories have the same thing logged over and over (like for the "Gas" category I always made the title "Gas") so when you select the "Gas" category it prefills the title field with the most common transaction title for that category. Also works in reverse, if you enter the transaction title first it will guess the category.

I also optimized the date picker. We budget month to month, so when you're in this month's budget, all you have to select is the day. No need to select month and year, as so many default date pickers do.

Just some tidbits in case they interest you as well!

Wow, Copilot is so behind Cursor it's pathetic
