Re:Apple introduces the new 14‑inch MacBook Pro with M6 on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @03:35PM (#50264571)
Apple can release as much fantastic hardware as they want - as long as the software keeps getting worse, what's the point?
finally some proper penalty OOMs

Re:macOS 15.8.2 Breaks OpenGL on Sunday October 18, 2026 @12:49PM (#50142784)
you really have to wonder how they managed to mess up this bad, and why they're doing nothing about it.

local search is both broken on my mac as well as iPhone. I search for an app, and its app store entry OR settings pop up, not the app.

how does this persist? do they not use their own products anymore? have they simply given up?

holy guac - the one game I watched, fable just sat around and waited for the other agents to drain each others lives. it then picked them out one by one
Re:Creatine uptake enhances antitumor immunity on Thursday September 24, 2026 @02:54PM (#49835253)
The whole creatine craze reminds me of Vitamin D a couple of years ago. Which also sounded harmless, but can go very wrong if not careful

You're right to bring this up - and this is where it gets interesting
wait, the thing that streams my code into the cloud, and that I let run basically arbitrary commands on my machine... uploads my code into the cloud?! I didn't sign up for this!

Re:Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @05:02PM (#49528152)
I made some webapps with it, and have it running my hermes agent (which also does a lot of coding, but not webapps).

Not sure what it's equivalent to, but it's super cheap and I am happy with the results

GLM 5.3-flash fits the bill
Re:GLM-5.3 is now open-weight on Saturday August 29, 2026 @06:24AM (#49488640)
This might be the ideal form factor for local+ models. Even though I am a diehard qwen3.6-27B fan, it is not the same as this guy. GLM 5.3 you can actually run on-prem reasonably well, and it is a legit, proper, work horse. As in, this can do real work.

Re:An ongoing 3D-printer AGPL violation on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @06:03PM (#49456525)
copyright etc has been dead the moment the personal computer arrived. we are still living through the chaos of the new world being born, but I think it has been over for a while already.

I would be very surprised if any kind of license like the GPL (or any license for published code) is left in 100 years or so.

DRM is another face of the same struggle, and this too shall pass. Ironically, DRM coming from the same source as the GPL (wanting to force rules onto something freely copyable), is viewed very harshly, since it supposedly interferes with your "freedom". But in the end they are the same.

Both GPL and DRM come from the idealistic fantasy that non-scarce digital goods have any (market) value at all. AI is just the latest nail in this coffin.

Calling it now: The big deal about this model is the sheer volume they were offering through openrouter and OpenCode. How? Chinese AI accelerators / nvidia-free stack

Having replaced my MacBook with a Mac Mini, I would reconsider. The MacBook is just such a _complete_ package. Great speakers, great keyboard, fantastic screen, the fingerprint sensor thingy.. Takes a lot of gear to match that
Re:Why your local LLM feels dumber than it is on Sunday August 23, 2026 @07:37AM (#49407986)
It is good that someone is having such a deep look. This is not exclusive to LLMs in the least. Every non-trivial program depends on hundreds of little details being correct.

That is also why I recommend including health checks in such programs. Some function that checks that all assumptions hold. That could be an endpoint, an automated test, a periodic diagnostic job, etc...
