OK that’s pretty good

That’s not what I said, but you do you, buddy.

That’s extremely cynical. While I’m not saying people are good simply because they are famous, most people are good and should be presumed so until proven otherwise. To assume that every famous person sucks on first impression sounds like you need to work through some unresolved hurt in your past.

DeepSeek shook the AI world because it’s cheaper, not because it’s open source.

And it’s not really open source either. Sure, the weights are open, but the training materials aren’t. Good look looking at the weights and figuring things out.

That’s just how modems are designed. DOCSIS consumer cable modems allocate about 10× download bandwidth vs upload. A 10:1 download-to-upload ratio is pretty standard. I have a 400 Mbps upload on a 1.2 Gbps download, which is pretty good.

OC:

Because people here are racists, yet not clever.

Enshittifying the US government.

This is it. “We spent so damn much money on this, we gotta see some NUMBERS on the dashboard!”

I wonder if Texas has better bankruptcy laws.

VOA News is not a reliable news source—it’s literally a taxpayer-funded propaganda outlet of the USA. Since the Trump administration the organization has been pumping out odd conservative talking points.

Is the answer no? It’s no, isn’t it?

Yep, Axios straight-up printed an ad as news.

I thought this was a new Chuck Tingle novel.

Define “complete”.

A 1.0 product is by definition the worst product the company will make of that type. That’s no different from any other product by any other company.

There is no complete product. There are only products you can buy, and those you can’t.

You’re conflating the perfect with the good. The question is not whether Vision Pro is perfect, it’s whether it’s good enough for today. I happen to think that it is for the goals the company has set (well under 1M units sold). But it will of course improve rapidly every year.

This is not new. This is every new product Apple has introduced.

I heartily disagree. This is a 1.0 product, and though it’s deeply flawed in so many ways, it also nailed interactions that other companies have struggled with. They’re going to iterate and pivot on this platform for the next few years (and sell cheaper models) and they will find the sweet spot. This platform is here to stay.

I have a feeling any list will not be able to catch up with the rate at which these sites are created.

I think so.
