If you mean hosting and serving all the other elements of the agent stack, then, yes. We handle sovereign data, so part of our whole value proposition is that every part of our pipeline is hosted in Canada.

Nobody asked for it because nobody knew a crab chair was an option! Now I don’t need my legs to get a coffee?? Sign me up.

It also mansplains incessantly; I was imprecise in mentioning a more “powerful” antenna - I know the antenna doesn’t determine the power, I was typing quickly and just meant “better antenna”. Claude went off on all the ways I was wrong about antennas, and turned everything towards correcting - at length - my feeble thinking. Exhausting. Worth pointing out the wrong adjective relates to the wrong mental model, did not need several paragraphs and a chart to do so.
Re:AI doesn't generate working products, that's still your job
on Saturday August 01, 2026 @08:28AM (#49133833)
I find the base logic of this post flawed - it can make a prototype, but what about everything after the prototype? Well, um, then you work on those things too? It seems like the premise of articles like this assume that using AI means whatever you can one-shot from a four line prompt. There are obviously a lot of issues with it, but this just sounds like uncritical self-justification rather than any fundamental insight.

Egypt is amazing if you have locals to show you around. If you wander up to the pyramids in your shorts with your camera…yeah, you might be swarmed a bit. Weird how economic collapse makes people kinda desperate.
I had one of the most magical meals in a street that had been mostly taken over by one restaurant - all the bread baked in one shop, the meat all butchered there…just amazing.
The people who I saw get scammed were, well, people who would get scammed in a lot of places without a Walmart.
Re:Google limits Meta's use of its Gemini AI models

Google makes claims here about high demand for Gemini - does anyone here have insight into how much of the load on Google is paid use vs the load from putting AI summaries into every web search?
Re:Apple announces significant price increases for MacBooks, iPads, more
on Friday June 26, 2026 @08:05AM (#48685674)
I am currently in projects using lots of open source hardware and SBCs and I would argue the price increases on those have been even worse (if they are available at all) because those companies are competing for the same components but without the buying power of Apple. It’s a bloodbath out there.

The hostility is a result of a long reading of history. If you think Chinese leadership has forgotten European colonialism, you are mistaken. If you want to understand how deeply the maximalist mindset runs in Chinese culture, look up what the name of the country - zhongguo - means. I love Chinese culture, and lived there, but make no mistake about how clear eyed their leadership is about competition with western hegemony.

Honestly this is part of a macro trend of everyone outside the US scrambling to get off a US tech stack…these are going to be the longer term economic consequences for the country, as it is no longer seen as a safe option for any kind of data or service exposure.

This is very well put, and captures my feelings on it. I take it as disrespect that someone would have any expectation for me to read something they can’t be bothered to write. LinkedIn is a great example - my entire professional network is just spamming at this point, which drowns out others that DO put in any effort.

I played around with it, but the configuration seems bloated and finicky, and the permissions were concerning. It was a pain getting it to work with a local model, which is clearly an afterthought. I thought the WhatsApp interface was clever, and I plan on stealing that idea, but also exposes a pretty serious attack vector, and the thought of it running with any kind of exposure or permissions on a system with my Apple ID was a bit terrifying. A sandboxed version probably couldn’t do all the interesting things, but without sandboxing this thing could probably ruin your life. I promptly uninstalled it, but I did take a few ideas away.

Very predictable amount of snark being aimed at this, but to me it’s incredible that something of this complexity is even possible with a few hours of effort. It is irrelevant in this moment whether this has bugs or is useful to others; what it signals is pretty significant. In a year this kind of effort will be able to yield something even better.

If this is real, this is an incredible target to choose. I mean, you might not make it trial if they catch you, if you know what I mean. Makes me wonder what level of affiliation or perceived safety would make anyone this confident.
Re:The reasons people are sending back their Apple Vision Pro headsets

I’m interested to hear people’s experiences using this as a virtual workspace/ work environment, as that’s what I would use it for. Having gotten rid of my studio during the pandemic, the idea of a great work area I can just “put on” is very appealing…but I wonder how good it would actually be for focused work. Anyone?
