What you personally believe and perception within the United States are not the same thing.

Doesn’t Broadcom bring a lot more to bear here than just Verilog? Including relationships with the actual fabricators.

I’m a little surprised to see how much trouble people in this thread have had with the Cal Digit TS3. Mine works pretty well — have used it with three Intel MacBooks in the past an…

> This model might trigger planned obsolescence legislation in some jurisdictions. As opposed to years of garbage Windows laptops at the $600 price point, which you seem to expect …

What does “main” mean? Main processor for a flagship iPhone? Or main processor for a HomePod? There’s a lot of “main” processors for Apple’s devices at this point. I would be deepl…

Big deal, smart for all parties, really. Apple standards will make Intel step up and become a better foundry partner. Apple will gain increasingly needed diversification. US supply…

We seem perfectly fine splitting up some aspects of adulthood, like 21 for drinking.

Sure, raise it past the transition period. I’m tired of the pearl clutchers. Decide an age you’ll actually accept. That’s an adult. No more infantilization.

Bought and read the book and honestly the author is just as crazy as the rest of the executive team she skewers. I’m not too broken up that she didn’t get more money from my purcha…

Can we raise the age of adulthood from 18 to whatever acceptable age ends this discourse once and for all?

You’re describing all the advantages that Russia in theory had when it invaded Ukraine. That war remains in stalemate. With US support and the resilience and ingenuity of their peo…

> Sure you can take an easy/undisciplined target like Maduro. You think what the US military did there was easy? lol. Lmao, even.

I agree with your statement that human resilience can outlast a better army. But then you go on to say: > Which is why if China makes a move on Taiwan, the US can do nothing. If yo…

I think that says more about our political leaders than our military. Politicians choose the war and our military fights the battles. We're very good at winning battles. But some w…

Pretty sure anyone who fights the US military finds out pretty fast it’s a good military. It isn’t perfect. It has flaws. War is hard to get right in every dimension.

They bought them for the streaming service that came with it. Not for fake weights in headphones.

Love this kind of behind the scenes -- thanks for sharing! Personally, I think in a way you both ended up right. Content is king. But with the iPad (my favorite PDF viewer) as an i…

I still love Opus but it's just too expensive / eats usage limits. I've found that 5.3-Codex is mostly Opus quality but cheaper for daily use. Curious to see if 5.4 will be worth s…

As long as both companies remain stable and viable, there's probably limited upside to pouring more money into them. If they fail, and bring down the AI ecosystem with them, that i…

You could get something smaller but have it closer to your face than 1m? The sort of “visual impact” a screen can have is mostly a combination of what percentage of your FOV it con…

I get it. I’m scared too. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t.

> Actually it is not about this stage. It is about the sustainability of this when training data runs out This is an argument from 2024. Somehow, the models have continued to impro…

Personally at this point my combined AI spend is the most expensive recurring monthly subscription I have, and that’s even with my company also paying for the AI tools I use at wor…

What? SoftBank has been investing in them repeatedly for years now.
