It’s cool. One issue I have is that the colours for “Castle & château” and “Ruin” are very similar.

When you tap a marker often you can’t see the castle in the photo because it’s cropped to fit a rectangle with an unusual aspect ratio. That element should be allowed to adjust its height so the image is scaled at its own aspect ratio rather than cropped. Eg you can only see the mounds of Berwick Castle and Bamburgh Castle in the North East of England.

Also this one should be included: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisteal_Maol

The first number is which generation of their LLMs it belongs to.

Fable is the first model in the 5th generation.

The second number is an incremental release, not a generational leap forward.

I doubt they'll phase out Haiku, some work needs speed more than intelligence. Haiku can answer a lot faster than Sonnet.

I haven't tried Fable yet but my experience with Claude is it does not engineer things well. Without direction from me, it will either over-engineer things to the point of absurdity, or do the total opposite and have little to no abstraction with repeated code everywhere.

But it doesn't make you the good guy, it makes you the best of a bad bunch. The least bad. Dario gets a boner every time he talks about taking your job.

Opus 4.8 already drops to Sonnet when you ask it cybersecurity or biology questions

Of course. You use their AI to ship code full of bugs and security holes and then they conveniently have the tool to fix them, for an extra fee.

5 minutes to load and it just dumps me to a documentation site with no useful information about that this is, who made it, what it can do, etc.

I like it so far.

Some features I'd like:

- XL bar size - even large feels a bit small on a 6K display

- I have grouped windows off, but it would be nice if there was an option to still sort the chips by app, so all the app's windows are listed adjacent to eachother

- If not using the suggest idea above, it would also be nice to be able to drag and drop chips to sort them in the order I want

- Make the Applications menu open for clicks on the entire bottom left area of the screen so I can slam my cursor in the general direction, where it ends up at the bottom left pixel, and click like I could in Windows to open the Start menu

- Ability to give a desktop a name

- Ability to map a key or sequence (e.g. opt, opt) to open the Applications menu, again like how you could open Windows' Start menu with a key

Bugs:

- Clicking a chip to minimise a window, then clicking it again to restore it sometimes causes the window to change size.

- Quitting boringBar spawned three stacks of these: https://postimg.cc/WhmwHGNz even though it already has permissions granted. Clicking "Allow" just spawns another one so they never go away. boringBar is not running in Activity Monitor. Had no choice but to reboot.

But the Mac has a huge trick up its sleeve: it can run iOS and iPadOS apps. Meaning developers only have to make relatively minor adjustments to make it nice in the desktop and bin off the electron app on Mac.

I wouldn’t even care about the 8GB of ram if I could just add some myself.

I think that’s pretty unreasonable when they’re using an iPhone SoC to keep it cheap because they have massive volume. It was only ever available in 8GB and never designed for user upgradable memory because it’s for a phone.

Yeah it's way too vague.

This morning: (new chat) 42 seconds of thinking, 20 lines of code changed in 4 files = 5% usage

Last night: 25 minutes of thinking, 150 lines of code generated in 10 new files = 7% usage

It does make an actual copy but then it builds a directory structure that you can browse by date (like Time Machine). That directory contains hard links so only one copy of a file is ever backed up but you see contents that match the date of the backup.
