This is the same straw man argument of "country Z has N homeless/unhoused people, why are they building a space/military/education widget for $Y price, when they haven't found homes for N unhoused people yet?"

The upgrade cycle is a feature, not a bug. If (when) you need to do a big lift and shift, or there's some 0 day CVE, push buttan, get security update. You CAN drift behind but there's a real $$$ cost to that now. Every three month

Strong agree, if there's one thing LLMs are excellent at, it's writing Terraform and Kubernetes deployments (and/or helm charts). What used to be half a day of research, trial and error, is now 20 seconds of AI churn and 98%

The fed has a dual mandate to maintain full employment and keep inflation at 2%. Others have already explained why 2% and not 0%. Up to 3% is expected, 4% means significant price shocks and they should consider acting quickly. 5% means they

2% is good, anything over 3% is not good, anything over 4% is bad, 5% and higher is really bad. Hope that clears things up for you.

From what I've gathered, Mythos is the uncensored version, for institutional use, and then Fable is the censored version for general public, that won't talk about biology, encryption or anything remotely interesting

GPT5.5 one-shotted an entire mandolin for me. Like, the whole thing, ready to 3d print or CNC. Well, two shotted, the fender style neck came out so good (I didn't think it could do it) I asked for the body and it made the matching body

I've had pretty good success with using LLMs to generate basic shapes using python and cadquery (which generates real parametric step files you can edit in fusion, not glorified triangulated STLs). Yesterday I had GPT5.5 build a python

Adding to this, a lot of fiber installed in the 1990s is still dark. Multi-wavelength XYZ and other improvements mean the same fiber from 35 years ago can carry 100 or 1000x what it was originally designed for. Also, like Solar, all the cos

Qwen's ~30B-class models are genuinely good enough for use if you can find a machine with enough memory bandwidth to run them at 30-90 tokens/second. It's been extremely telling that Qwen stopped releasing 120b class models.

>The added cannibalization of releasing them is effectively zero, so the reputational benefits are likely to be worth it. Nobody would be looking at Qwen if their ~30b class models weren't fantastically good, it's great adverti

The fact that everything bolts together inside like a ThinkPad and there's no glue means it's highly repairable. I've been looking at getting one as well, they're almost too good, I'm worried apple will revert to gl

Framework is and will always be a statement device. Like modern 4x4 suvs that only haul groceries and may never see dirt roads, the upgradability of a laptop is something few will ever exercise. Most people are buying the idea.
