Yes. As I suggested in another thread: an open-source, modern IdTech would fill the empty quadrant in the Godot : Unity :: ____ : Unreal matrix. A few mid-size studios pitching in to fund continued development on a Blender model could turn

This is correct. It is entirely possible for both the archetypal blood-sucking MBA and the pragmatic industry veteran to reach the same conclusion for different reasons. The build vs. buy calculus in game dev has been steadily shifting over

From the original announcement last month: > After this point-when sufficient capacity allows us to do so—we aim to restore Fable 5 as a standard part of subscription plans. We intend to do this as quickly as we can. From today: >

The great thing about the new multi-layer icon format in Golden Gate is that it finally separates an icon's foreground from the background. So in theory, it opens the door to returning shape-differentiated icons to MacOS if a future di

I assume those don't just work automatically with an off-the-shelf gguf. What do you need in your local inference stack to take advantage of M5's neural accelerators?

I was not expecting the part where Fable produces a passable 3Blue1Brown-style explainer video of the algorithms it just implemented that sounds like it's narrated by a character from Dora the Explorer. What a strange era we now live i

While these new Mac prices are probably here to stay, the upside is that once the AI market saturates and RAM prices fall, future Macs will likely get a significant memory boost at all price tiers. A base-config 2028 MBP could be running lo

This was only ever a gag, right? I tried it in the early hours of the meme and got something to the effect of “you didn’t attach an image, so I don’t have anything to work from.”

I see – somehow the Apple UI for this gave me the mistaken impression that privaterelay.appleid.com was the domain used by the alias, but I see now that it was always just icloud.com.

Same here. I guess it’s time to start “Is isfable5back.com Back?”

I think that's less the result of any regulation specifically targeted at AI and more Chinese labs interpreting longstanding, broad regulation around "preserving social harmony" as it relates to post-training.

The OP is using it in a figurative quote attributed to the British armed forces, not in their own voice.

> today, Anthropic engineers on average ship 8x as much code per quarter as they did from 2021-2025. So based on my experience with the verbosity and non-DRYness of LLM code, a solid 2.5x in value delivered. Not bad!

My criticism of MacOS Spaces is one I have of all Apple's window management efforts over the years: It's a great start and a foundation to build upon, but they never really followed through with iterative improvements informed by

I can never prove it, but I like to think I'm the one to credit/blame for inspiring Apple to "inexplicably restrict [spaces] to a horizontal line only" in Leopard. I produced a concept video in 2009 that prominently feat

Isn’t that the Waymo data model, though? They extensively pre-drive every new market, building dense volumetric maps of the entire service area before they begin service, so they essentially do have that database of every road (that they

It’s like CSI “enhance!” AI image upscaling. People will do it, see it fabricated details, and then draw the wrong lesson from it, that “AI fabricates things!” when that is exactly what they asked the model to do and there is no magic math

Amusing and directionally correct, but as random next-thought generators connected to a conscious hypervisor with individual agency,* humanity still has a pretty major leg up on the competition. *For some definitions of individual agency. I

As I’ve gotten older, it’s become increasingly hard for me to understand how anyone can read such comical reductionism as enlightenment. We are infinitely complex arrangements of systems built upon systems, from the quantum properties of ca

USM is the only MVNO I've seen that actually advertises QCI tiers. I had to look the term up when I was initially considering them, as I'd never even encountered it before. It was a major factor in finally feeling confident I woul

I was hoping, this being Wired, the article would have at least a surface-level technical description of how a software-defined privacy filter works, but alas. How does it work? I'm guessing it's some kind of extension of the LC

To extend the metaphor, the brain may have a robust firewall, but it also transacts with millions of clients over a separate (electric rather than chemical) network.

"AI is a bubble!" "AI will change everything!" Few seem to understand that both of the above can be true. The parallel you draw to the internet revolution is apt; dot-coms were both a bubble and changed everything.

It has both positive and negative connotations depending on the context. For an example of the former, look at the lyrics to the Beatles’ Hey Jude. It’s been used that way since 1968!

Not relevant. Figma v. Motif was over allegations of stealing source code, apparently including known Figma bugs. The design of the UI wouldn't be covered by copyright anyway; Figma would have had to file and be granted a patent, whi
