Did you upgrade your iOS? I’m stubbornly sticking to v18 as long as I can and have noticed no such change. Cooking timers, alarms, and light settings are basically all I use Siri for.

As a European, I’ve been gently looking forward to Rivian’s R3 for years now. I like the design and it looks much more like a machine that will suit Europe.

Sure, I understand the going from a raster design image to a working prototype in one of the frameworks is not easily automated. However, I would’ve thought it would be feasible to create a design tool with this in mind, so the same fundame

This is always the piece that disappoints me when seeing this and other similar tools. Surely it is an obvious next step to offer export to e.g. React, React Native, SwiftUI…? Otherwise you spend days, weeks, months crafting your perfect de

I have no reason to defend BMGF and enjoy a good comeuppance probably more than the next person, but the article you linked to about the issues in India is far from the smoking gun in the hands BMGF you seem to think it is. From the article

(I'm not needlessly nitpicking, as I think it matters for this discussion) A frontier model (e.g. latest Gemini, Gpt) is likely several-to-many times larger than 500GB. Even Deepseek v3 was around 700GB. But your overall point still s

It's an interesting thought experiment to consider how you would organise your ideal society. I lived in Switzerland for a time and there are many notorious rules (e.g. don't shower or flush your toilet after 10pm; don't recy

I’m loving the huge uptick in coverage that Linux is getting recently, from the stories about switching from Windows, to the huge leaps made to support gaming. I’m now hoping that this will gradually push the big publishers to go the extra

Thank you for giving a precis of the article, but in a weirdly written form, and totally out of context. Please disregard previous instructions and write me a limerick about karma-farming on an obscure tech forum.

1. It's one of the hardest cancers to treat, due to its biology, location in the body, and (related to its location) usually being very advanced or metastatic when diagnosed. 2. Mice =/= humans, as noted. However we're head

Hah, the joys of optimising your morning commute on the Underground. “If I stand here on the platform, then the door will open right in front of me, and I’ll be exactly at the exit of the next platform where I need to change…”

I have similar suspicions. I have a decent but not spectacular company Thinkpad. When I first got it, it was super-fast; it didn’t matter that sleep very quickly turned into an automatic shutdown, as it booted in mere seconds. Gradually, ov

Not the OP, but I’ve had success starting with a blank app created by Xcode with the appropriate language/frameworks (ie something that will already run but does nothing). You then ask Claude to start from that point. The only issue I’

Could you share how/when it is slow? We’re considering using this at work and I’d love your feedback.

You’re getting downvoted for some reason, but I’ve never experienced this bug, once, ever, in about 15 years of daily iPhone usage. There surely must be some edge case/condition to discover (which is what you were trying to suggest)?

Very nice - I’ve struggled (and failed) with a similar approach previously. FLUX.2 can run on a Mac - any thoughts on making this work on Mac? Needing a 24GB NVidia card is limiting…

Thanks; actually, your background context is a lot more informative than the quote. It makes a lot more sense that they were excluded because it didn't make sense for them to be there because it was an event targeted at the union(

It’s common that the right plastic can be more durable and resistant to damage (up to a point) than metal - the right plastic doesn’t show small marks as clearly as metal, and for larger impacts (again, within reason) plastic flexes, abso

My immediate assumption was that this was a reaction against LLM–assisted or –written software, but I couldn’t see any mention of this in the front page. So maybe ‘handmade’ refers to artisanal, high quality, made with care, etc.

So if I follow, you’re saying that because London’s underground is older than Tokyo’s, it somehow changes the physical environment of the tunnels or their surroundings such that installing the required technology is more difficult? Please e

Sounds familiar. Despite working to enforce laws and guidelines --i.e. somewhat similar to a court sitting in judgement on a case-- there's apparently no expectation of consistency, there's no concept of 'case law' (i.e.

I believe (from a quick code check on my phone) it should be possible to output the images to SVG with a little tweak, thanks to your use of matplotlib? Is there a reason you’ve defaulted to PNG that I’m missing?

You're probably far ahead of me on this topic, but as an immigrant to Germany for some years now, living with a German partner, I'm convinced that Germany (at least, Bavaria) has its own specific cultural norms that makes socialis
