Re:EA is shutting down BioWare
on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @06:28PM (#50188549)
BioWare shutting down will hurt a lot, I've met many executives and ex-developers who have worked there, it's going to be a big loss for the community in Edmonton. They've all gone on and done incredible things afterwards, but there will be a key player missing in the pipeline.

Thanks for the reminder. I should probably switch my homelab to something like openCloud which is more lightweight and memory efficient anyways.

It doesn't show up on app, but I found it on the web interface.

Token spend is noticeably less than Opus 5, I can't really tell if it's better though.

I do believe entry-level paralegals will be made obsolete. In the grand scheme, perhaps it reduces overall cost of legal assistance, which is a net benefit for society.
Re:Stop the Apple Music app from launching

This is clever, I typically use Cider on my Mac or Linux machine, the notification that music is trying to play from another device (the cheapest plan only supports 1 simultaneous stream) is really annoying. I think it happens when I connect or take off my Airpods connected to my iPhone.

Merely an example but I would not, one of my gripes with LLMs is the training on general sentiment and trends, so they tend to recommend whatever is popular.

The author doesn’t seem to understand that Apple places RAM orders years in advance. I’m not sure if it’s even feasible or possible for Apple to fully integrate their supply chain and open up memory fabs, the cost of entry must be enormous.

The barrier to entry for writing personalized software is lower, but you still need expertise for instruction and maintenance.
I don’t think we’re at the point where any random stranger on the street can get Claude to make a perfect Electron app for their use case.

I stopped using Windows all together two years ago, and since then Linux gaming has made huge strides. Almost everything is playable now with the exception of Kernel AC games - which I don’t play anyways. The success of the Steam Deck has been an integral part, and Vulkan performance is similar if not equal to DX.

Tesla severely lacks competition in the North American market. They lost all their first mover advantage by sitting back and spending significant R&D into FSD. Chinese manufacturers have some incredible innovations such as Nio’s battery swapping.

Provided they are available in Canada. There’s only roughly 50k imports in the first year and that will be split across all Chinese manufactured EVs (not necessarily Chinese brands). I assume the majority will be Teslas from their Shanghai factory.
Re:What makes a good smartphone camera?
on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @04:21PM (#48041231)
Any modern flagship has good enough camera capabilities, as long as it has okay low light performance that’s enough for me.
Having tried the iPhone Pro lenses, while impressive, the sensor size is never going to match a full-frame mirrorless.

If anything I feel like Clerk adoption is becoming the norm in recent years. I started using it about a year ago and found it to have troublesome reliability.

Gemma is genuinely impressive, for many trivial quick questions it can replace search engines on my iPhone. Although for reasoning I definitely wouldn’t say it (Gemma 3n E2B) is smart, it unsurprisingly struggled with the classic car wash question.
