Oh the horror!

If the extremely low odds of buying a defective one, that has full support from Apple to replace it at no cost (like they should), concerns you, then you should play the lottery more often...

I'm keeping mine - its great! Love the short outer screen, the inner screen is nice and large, the titanium build is great, love tent mode and laptop mode. Inner screen is large and its very thin when opened. The speakers are great and the cameras are as well. Idk what other info you need?

She just goes to another school!!

Because Google’s models have been a disappointment for so long (Argon tentatively excluded) that nobody is excited to read a press release from them stating a new one is coming out “soon.” There’s no hype when your product to date (tentatively pre Argon) has been inferior for a “long time.”

Yeah their software support is AMAZING!

2 GB RAM?

Yeah the price was always a bit of a con (even if it was a great product!)

And the world has been improved for it ever since. What a waste of screen real-estate these buttons were...

> Graduate students spend 10-20 hours a week grading homework

They do not, lol.

Yer, LLMs are amazing at pushing the code out, but they are still far from understanding the project's intent within its broader context and constructing its presentation in a universally tasteful manner.

If only tech companies focused on developers above all of their other stakeholders, then they could make tens or even hundreds of dollars in profit every year!

I, too, preferred the internet when it was just text!

Samsung, lol

Yeah don't listen to the original commenter, I absolutely love my foldable too.

> They made the PC revolution possible

Yeah they were only half a decade late to the PC revolution back in the day...

> Sure, they use a few more tokens and the results may be slightly less good (but this doesn't really matter because I'm still in the loop so it is easy to correct)

I can't wait to use models that are 'slightly less good' when I am at work instead of something like Fable that lets me focus on the problem at hand as much as possible rather than also spending additional effort correcting for the tool I am using...

Sim City 2000 is a very different (and computationally more demanding) game than the original Sim City.

Ah yep, that would be a different story if that's the case (from reading his original comment I still think he is an employee though)

Oh you're right, that does sound like a good reason for the original commenter to not take his vacation. Lucky the organisation he works for made him the single point of failure in circumstances such as these.

> I'll use the best tool for the job, but I am eagerly awaiting for others to catch up so I can stop giving money to those weirdos.

The worst part here is that there is no guarantee that others will catch up in the near to medium term. Their bleeding-edge research culture and strong focus on software engineering above everything else are two competitive advantages that no other frontier labs are even trying to do the hard work in these areas required to displace.

They need to get rid of these guardrails asap, this is not a viable long-term solution where the best model(s) will not help you fix security issues in your code.

PE of 336?? That's a buying opportunity if ever I saw one!!

What’s iPhone mirroring to a Mac got to do with how Apple’s policies around its App Store work? (To be clear taking 30% and locking out competitors is, in my opinion, overreaching, but I fail to see why this should stop iPhone mirroring being a thing in the EU??)

Starlink makes the money.

No way in hell is Twitter making a lick of profit.

Maybe the EU should think about implementing less restrictive legal requirements for innovative technologies...

Sounds like Anthropic is again over-reaching and making spurious assumptions in how it interprets the variety of ways its customers interact with their products...

Brooklyn isn't very representative of the majority of middle America

shrug - if you want to take the government out of your money and put it into a system that can scale a lot larger than the size of your local community, then you had better know what you are doing...

I don't get what you are saying here re no sovereignty with no (custom) hardware.

Grab the Bitcoin white paper and an airgapped PC with a fresh Debian install.

Implement the algorithm(s) in the white paper to generate yourself a private key and then a wallet address from that.

Send bitcoin to that wallet. Write down the private key and wallet address, store it somewhere safe, bury it in the garden, whatever.

No special hardware is required for any of this...

Or am I missing something?
