gemini isn't even that good. just tested 3.5 on usual complex prompts to opus/chat 5.5. meh

so we are losing the only point of Android -- sideloading apps -- now it will be literally worse at everything compared to iOS :(

that's it boys. apple will take over the ENTIRE market with this. they will be at schools everywhere. only reason to not get a macbook before was the price.

my 64GB M1 pro max is still fast AF. faster than my regular M3 in practice

i wish the new mbp had 256GB of ram :(

I'm interested in the Ultra with 256GB/512GB ram :)))

the problem is - these don't work unless everyone uses them worldwide.

yeah I think trillions alone wouldn't be enough to replicate Apple's success and market dominance (especially the most valuable demographic)

nobody is switching

damn you guys are naïve. this is ragebait (not the blog author, the person who told AI what to do...)

I'm not saying the author is malicious. These are typical vibe-coded codebase characteristics.

Mr. Rand, not just goods and services. also anything that taxes pay for, done by younger people than you. roads laid, cleaned, police, firefighters, public parks, etc. deal or no deal? there is no third option. if you're really mad about it i can make up a third option specially for you but you won't like it, probably.

it's fun but PLEASE watch out for malicious code/supply chain attacks from random vibe-coded .sh scripts:

downloads other scripts (peon.sh, uninstall.sh) and executes them or places them where they will be executed later

edits your ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc files to add aliases and tab completion

parses a remote JSON file to get filenames ($sfile) and then does: curl ... -o "$INSTALL_DIR/packs/$pack/sounds/$sfile"

not this grifter again

the upfront cost

fine but the tradeoff is you are not getting any benefits or services from people younger than you. deal or no deal?

What is very disturbing, apart from the obvious, is the fact that they are using Google generated AI images. take the picture of the kid, put it into gemini.google.com and request @SynthID

most of them are needed at one time or another.

also a mandatory: and yet the macbooks are faster and more battery efficient than any PC laptop with linux/windows

skill issue

it's real, i have the leak.

he's a sophist. not terrible like Jordan Peterson, et al. but he is a sophist 100%

i think alcohol is also a gateway drug. anything that creates REAL addiction/disinhibition/escapism (not food). paradoxically i don't think cigarettes are a gateway drug, but weed is because of how it works

why is this nonsense trending here? this is a random blog

not true because the meta changes constantly. The accounts that are popular for a long time have someone talented at the head.

it's almost like it's better to have an external owner of social media companies

do you guys understand that different experts are loaded PER TOKEN?

I read the title and i thought we are considering if nuking Northern Europe is a good idea.

what are you people talking about? Cook is the best thing that happened to apple. Look at their sales. They are killing the laptop market - likely a complete dominance in the next years. same with the iphone - first year to be the biggest phone seller in a long time.

the switch to ARM and their M silicon was one of the best moves in computing in years.

adequate username

it's a random dude too

you're using a false dichotomy to hold the conversation hostage. it's possible to want to stop terrorism without handing a blank check to an authoritarian state.
