They bought that stuff from Samsung, and Samsung has been doing it for a while now. So no, the screen and hinge aren't really first gen.

Creases are maybe the "range anxiety" of the fold world? TBH I had been eyeing foldables for 3-4 years before I got off the sidelines and bought one. My main "wait for the tech to mature" worry was the crease. Now that I

I'd wait before believing no crease. My Z Fold 8 had basically no crease for the first week, after it has a slight crease that hasn't seemed to get any worse in the 3 weeks since. It's only noticeable in dark room with dramat

I frequently find blind spots / edges where one model notices something non-trivial none of the others did. I think the one that surprises me the most often is probably grok, but I wouldn't want grok to be my daily driver. I feel

Don't fall for this. Agents silently downgrade unless you explicitly block the behavior. I built a little harness for Chatgpt, grok and Claude to do design review feedback rounds where one holds the pen and the other 2 send feedback, t

I wasn't making a value judgement on who should respond to the offer, just commenting on who the offer was probably aimed at. Though I do think the sudden spike in investment and the little foundation around it now means probably more

I don't think it's aimed at them. I think it's mostly aimed at windows and mac users who are computer enthusiasts but never really made the jump to Linux as a desktop daily driver. Just supposed to be a cool on-ramp - basical

I think there is a pretty decent swath of people willing to rally behind someone who says they are trying to make a cool project specifically for people who want to be away from the "insufferable injection of identity politics". H

I'm on fi and got the fold 8 through fi for a pretty steep discount. It was cash off immediately + fi credits. I can pull up exact details if you care but it was several hundred dollars off split pretty evenly between instant discount

Brother the government just labels "profit" differently. Most people would call it grift, pork, or "inefficiency". Government waste dwarfs private sector waste by orders of magnitude. The utopia where governments efficie

That's one read. For me it feels like practically (ASML, ARM, SAP not withstanding) their only "contribution" to tech is fines and exporting regulation. Sometimes this works out well (usb-c on iPhone), but most of the time it

I guess I have rather overestimated what a normal amount of wired devices is based on my own sample size. That or the opposite is happening with you. My house has a POE doorbell, several POE cameras, 2 TVs that each get a connection to thei

How much mental bandwidth do you put into not hitting a car that's in a different city? Even if all 100 layers collapsed to one, that's still only 100 satellites in 2600 square miles. NYC is ~300 sq miles. There are about 2.2 mill

It would be incredibly unlikely for there to be enough competition at a grand enough scale for it to become a problem. Space is just very big. Earth's surface is ~197 million sq miles. If you move up to a LEO shell at around 550 miles

We are fighting entirely different battles. The main reason I'm focused on those 12-18 inches is drainage. Heavy clay will stay waterlogged for a really long time and basically drown plants. Once it gets really dry it goes hydrophobic

It's not a hard transition between the layer I added up top and the stuff below, so bioturbation is happening - but it's a slow process. I've helped it along a little with broad forking but it will take many more years to imp

Avid backyard gardener here. When we moved to our new house in Fort Wayne our yard was a real problem child. It was a new build in an old neighborhood. All the other houses where about 40ish years old. Ours had also had a 40 year old house,

You simply cannot cram enough cooling and power into a laptop to have it equal a desktop high end desktop CPU of the same generation. There is physically not enough room. Just about the only way to even approach that would be to have liquid

That's a common perspective, but it oversimplifies a complex biological reality many people face. The body has sophisticated signaling pathways that regulate hunger and defend fat stores. In some people, dysregulation in pathways like

AlphaGo got better by playing against itself. I wonder if the pathway forward here is to essentially do the same with coding. Feed it some arbitrary SRS documents - have it attempt to develop them including full code coverage testing. Have

Found out I had been worried about my blood pressure for no reason for close to 4 years. When I moved I brought it up to my new doctor and he said "what color was the cuff". Turns out they were using one entirely too small for my

Honestly I think the only reason you guys shipped as many units as you did was blocking other voice assistants from interacting with Audible. I've had an Alexa/Echo since the early beta and it has literally always been worse than

As far as I am aware I haven't made any other calls at all. This one wasn't exactly hard to predict given their treatment of scotch.io Both were marketing/seo plays and long term there was never any incentive for them to keep

I wonder how much longer this will remain true. Audiobooks and translations seem like near-term target for AI.

I ultimately ended up getting an nvidia shield, but at that point it solved my biggest gripe with plex so I just switched back to plex and have been happy with it.

Weight lifting done properly IS stretching. Full range of motion is a big deal for hypertrophy. Static stretching is essentially worthless, and can actually be detrimental to performance: https://journals.lww.com/acsm-csmr&#

Two options: -- Accountability Coach -- Personal trainer Of the 2, personal trainer is probably better if you are new to the gym (been lifting 0-2 years) because they will also help you nail technique/form so you don't get yoursel
