Yes, and that changes what?

Is this just OpenRouter Fusion but from Japan?

I found a tool that makes it easy to run Salvatore Sanfilippo's (Redis creator) ds4.c on a Mac: https://github.com/notatestuser/ds4-control His program uses quantization, but is ve…

Modern frontier LLMs know Norwegian. Wouldn't this simply be the job of RAG to do lookups as the user requests for data? Like how Gemini integrates with Google Search. Seems like t…

An agent cli provides a sandbox, with permission systems and auto command classifiers. That’s part of the harness.

I’d just plug the ports since things are going wireless and might only need the one usb-c from time to time. Hey StarLabs, perhaps put some nice flush and matching port plugs in th…

Looks really slick. I'd love to see some more AI oriented mini PCs like the Star Byte but with OSS firmware. Think AMD Ryzen AI Halo form factor with the Gorgon Halo style APU.

Is eBay just a hive of scams now? Try searching for a Mac Studio with 512gb of RAM for example. I know it's a highly sought after item, but there are so many sellers with 0 reviews…

Many users do like to use scrollback to copy large passages of text, which becomes difficult and cumbersome if they have to use page-up page-down to get at the other parts of it.

Here's a useful tracker for how "stupid" the models are now and over some preset time periods: https://aistupidlevel.info

Overcompensating is a word that comes immediately to mind...

I wonder if it's possible for app devs to use Exclaves. The thing that irks me about Apple is that they invent this new amazing internal stuff but then completely wall it off from …

Something nobody mentions is the power draw. This kind of compute horsepower for so little power usage is outstanding.

Just to clarify. There is an important difference between unified memory, meaning accessible by both CPU and GPU, and regular RAM that is only accessible by CPU.

That could be why they're also selling it as the Mac Studio M3 Ultra

It won't be anywhere near as popular as it was. The average user has the app "TikTok" and that's as far as they will ever go to get access.

Western companies operating outside China are often forced to agree with China's censorship requirements too. Look up the "great cannon" on wikipedia. Many such examples.

Probably nothing. That was their last hope...

x86 is an overcomplicated behemoth never intended for low power computing. It’s lipstick on a pig for mobile x86 at this point

To show them that their battery life could go from 2.5 hours to 8 or more, perhaps. That was the Mac experience that customers weren't asking for yet "wowed" them when it came.

1000ms is a surprisingly long wait at a ticket barrier, though! Latency is everything in this use case...

None in that case. But with these cards there’s less need for centralization of data storage and code logic

Oyster in London works like this too so I’ve heard. Some terminals (e.g. those on buses) are offline until the terminal is docked and connected to the main centre.

I’ve found NDEF cards that can hold 16KB & 32KB, even as much as 64KB. That may be too much capacity for ticketing but it blows QR codes out of the water

Microsoft Edge is now using the same rendering engine as Chrome too
