I think there's a lot of false assumptions in that assertion: - that a bunch of users won't jump ship if Apple stagnates for 5 years - that a product based on a model with Q12026 SoTA performance would be competitive with

I've seen reports of qwen3.5-35b-a3b spending a ton of time reasoning if the context window is nearly empty-- supposedly it reasons less if you provide a long system prompt or some file contents, like if you use it in a coding agent. I

For the truncated session logs issue, it sounds like it's auto-compacting the context (or just truncating it), because LLMs can only handle a finite amount of context. I haven't used Perplexity, but many LLM harnesses like Claude

Maybe I'm only noticing the times when it messes things up, but it kinda seems like these auto-edits cause a lot of confusion that could be avoided if they were shown up-front to submitters, who would then have the option to undo them.

Feels like the sodium ion battery vs lithium ion battery thing, where there are theoretical benefits of one but the other has such a head start on commercialization that it'll take a long time to catch up.

You can stream video with milliseconds of latency, provided you have enough bandwidth for the video stream. Videoconferencing and cloud gaming both work on this principle. That said, I would argue that their focus on one-way latency is misi

Not to be confused with the 1600 meter or "1 mile" race which is commonly run in US track and field events (i.e. 4 times around a 400 meter track). At least that's within 1% of an actual mile.
