Agreed, it's becoming a bit of an echo chamber anytime Chinese models are discussed here. This is really par for the course for China though, in physical manufacturing they've been doing this kind of thing for decades, I'm no

Doesn't disqualify them, but it may call into question their results seeing as they have a potential conflict of interest.

Hmmm, a company that hosts open models is telling us how good open models are...

That's not what airgapped means. Airgapping means the model exists on a system where there is no ethernet cable plugged in to a router or wifi card installed, it is physically impossible for it to access the internet because the hardwa

Right, this is the classic VC playbook and people should really know better. They use capital to undercut competitors on cost to gain market share, then slowly crank up the costs until they are (hopefully) profitable. It makes 0 sense long-

It is super annoying when you first set up a Mac and is really over the top. Definitely geared more towards the average user rather than developers. But, once you get through the barrage of approvals during initial use you're basically

Agreed. At someone who works primarily in hardware, it is definitely hard. A midi-to-bluetooth recorder is practically a software project in a fancy box. There is very little physical complexity to deal with here, which is what makes hardwa

I think it's mostly to spread hype for the new models. Sol can be ridiculously long running, even without /goal so it can run for 12hr+ on a problem with defined and verifiable output. So it's a good way for people to get hyp

Originally yes, everyone's usage limit went back to 100% at the same time regardless of if you were at 0% or 99%. Now they tend to give out "banked" resets where users can choose when to use it for up to a month (except the m

We really need to stop using $/M tokens as the pricing benchmark. I've found that the number of tokens used tends to be a bigger factor than the listed per token price. The cost per task vs. intelligence curve is really what you c

Agreed. It's motivational for some people, and that's great, but the "data driven" information it gives you fails to pass the "use your brain" baseline.

100% agreed. I wore an apple watch daily for almost 10 years and have switched back to automatic watches. The notifications caused me to be way too connected to my phone, and the "tracking" aspects of it were kind of useless to me

NASDAQ is famously overweighted in tech. It saw an 80% drop in the aftermath of the dotcom bubble, while the S&P500 only had a 40% drop. It's a double edged sword, with the AI boom it's benefiting, if that reverses it will fal

That is true of all tech announcements. Marketers will do their thing regardless of reality.

Thank you! I've personally found that having it on iOS especially is a game changer, it's really improved my attention span across the board.

What destructive actions are you afraid of in particular? Honestly the models are pretty smart, I let the agents go --yolo and nothing bad has ever happened (yet) that couldn't be solved with git.

My guess is that it's the same for Haiku/Sonnet/Opus: Biggest model for architecture and high level planning and technically challenging problems, medium model for simple implementation tasks, small model is for nothing

Agreed. GPT 5.5 will come up with more straightforward solutions with far fewer tokens than Claude. Also, the usage limits are much more generous for Codex than Claude Code for the same monthly plan.

That would explain a small number of true OS X users, but the graph reports 2x OS X as macOS, which is ridiculous.
