And also it has worse performance than Java if you just install a basic optimization modpack like Adrenaline on Java, which many players do. There's effectively ~zero reason to use…

GPT-6 is supposed to be using a much larger base model that just finished pretraining so the "dump another chunk of all written language" approach is still going strong.

As long as this is actually about "sale" of data and actually imposes strict limits on data brokers and all the nefarious actors out there, I am all for it. If it's more similar to…

This is reddit-tier analysis that is commonly repeated and completely incorrect. The Democratic Party in America has policy positions that are significantly to the left of left-win…

Your passkey login doesn't even work. I think the nature of Claude usage here goes a bit beyond "some polish". (For reference, signing back in with a passkey seems to be impossible…

Yes. It is, significantly. More people die every year of heat waves in Europe than gun deaths in the US, and it's not even close. Youth unemployment in many European countries is e…

I'm not sure what charts you guys are looking at, but this website clearly agrees that Grok is not right wing. Go look at the Worldview tab, filtering by United States. Each model …

Has to be a fuckup. watchOS 26 supported the Series 6 onwards. I don't think Apple has ever cut 3 generations of devices with a single yearly OS upgrade unless there's an underlyin…

Wait what? Where did you see this? It would be crazy if the Series 9 doesn't get updated to the next watchOS

1Password has been able to do this for five+ years. Frankly, it doesn't even really need agentic AI, although a talented team could probably make it perform better with agentic AI.…
