Yeah, this type of blatant corner-cutting seems like the exact opposite of what luxury brands would want to represent them.

Nah I'll give them credit for that one, the dual knit band is what the Vision Pro should have shipped with in the first place. The original designs were the baffling ones, you had to choose between a fancy knitted band without any top

Neither is Samsung's similar Galaxy Edge apparently, to the extent that the product line may have already been cancelled after just one generation. Both companies probably should have sat on that idea until they could offset the physic

I don't think they even set out to make a small phone with the SE, they set out to make a cheap phone. They achieved that by reusing older generation iPhone tooling which just happened to be smaller, as was the style at the time. Whe

They bought a bunch of 3D knitting machines to make Vision Pro headstraps, and since that isn't selling I guess they're using the excess capacity to make iPhone socks. You can briefly see them in this ad: https://x.com&

Many of these ergo keyboards are open source, too, so if you have more time than money you can just order some cheap PCBs and assemble them yourself.

Unfortunately 64bit address suppport does the opposite, that comes with a non-trivial performance penalty because it breaks the tricks that were used to minimize sandboxing overhead in 32bit mode. https://spidermonkey.dev/

What does it even mean for a TTS model to be "superhuman" when the goal is to imitate human speech?

It looks like the inline Apple Podcasts player is causing that, though it's not clear why since it's loading unencrypted MP3s directly from the authors S3 bucket. I guess their player eagerly sets up DRM playback at startup rath

This Asus box costs $3000, and the cheapest Mac Studio with the same amount of RAM costs $3500, or $3700 if you also match the SSD capacity. You do get about twice as much memory bandwidth out of the Mac though.

It always seemed like Leta was on thin ice since it queried Googles Search API and then cached the results for 30 days, which I believe is against Googles TOS. I wonder if they finally noticed and got mad. https://developers.goog

Indeed, when big publishers like EA and Ubisoft started leaving Steam they introduced a tiered pricing system which progressively reduces the cut to 25% or 20% after tens of millions of dollars in revenue, to lure those AAA juggernauts back

They tanked ultra-high-value items, which were primarily traded off-the-books because their value exceeded the official Steam marketplaces $1800 price cap. Bringing those prices down is good for Valve because it means more trading activit

Alyx is a bit of an edge case because they needed a VR showcase, and it's unlikely that a PC VR game (even a Valve one) could have sustained a healthy multiplayer population. Regardless of the reasons why it happened, it's the one
