The game changer technology that'll enable full 1TB+ LLM models for cheap is Sandisk's High Bandwidth Flash. Expect devices with that in about 3-4 years, maybe even on cellphones.

They also don’t need one system per user. Think of how often you use their system over the week, maybe one hour total? You can shove 100+ people into sharing one system at that rate… so already you’re down to only needing 7 million systems.

Yes, as Fall/Winter clothing is sold starting around September, and fall/winter apparel are generally the more expensive than spring/summer clothes, and so more advertising dollars go into it.

Not if you're at a trade show in an industry where a single deal can net millions of dollars, and a small booth might cost $15k just for the space for a few days.

There's definitely an entire business available for expensive trade show merchandise, including electronic business cards. People routinely give away shirts and other merchandise that cost far more than $10..

Now I wanna see if it can rename itself to Bobby Tables..

That usually means you tend to visit trash sites. Higher quality sites have higher quality ads. In fact, for the highest quality media, people actually PAY for ads. See things like Vogue September issue or technical shopping magazines, which earn value for being 90% ads. People used to buy local newspapers because of the ads as well.

Great so you can always add a dongle if you need them.

Now how do I get rid of extra ports if I don't need them?

So why should I have to carry around extra bulk for ports for your convenience?

MSFT has been pretty responsive in improving VSCode. The worktrees function is perfect for multi-agent coding. And the quality of VSCode's output is right on par with Claude Code. All that's left is for VSCode to adopt the tasks/subtasks model that other coding agents now have and I don't see the benefit of using anything else..

Because it's indicative of systemic failures. Why waste space and add bulk to carry around ports you never use? Did you think adding those things come at no cost?

This is why people say less is more.

He grew Cadence perfectly fine, so, no, it doesn't make sense.

Everything from Trump is wrong.

EVERYTHING.

Yah I wish Apple made laptops like those Windows laptops, with angular wedged plastic housing holding a barely functioning trackpad and 30 different USB-A ports with grills and 5 fans and all topped off by bright rainbow LEDs everywhere and of course an Intel-Inside sticker so you remember what kind of CPU you have in case you forgot.

Maybe add a Dragon print on the cover as well? That would be so cool. I am also an adult.

So why is it flagged?

I'm here just wondering if people get dizzy in a spinning space station...

None of them seem to have published any papers associated with them on how these new models advanced the state-of-the-art though. =^(

The moon is going to get a railroad before California gets its high speed rail?

SpaceX itself replicated the DC-X from the 90's. The reason the DC-X was cancelled was because of the economics. Reusable rockets are a solved problem, with only the economics of it a barrier (see Space Shuttle). SpaceX has to rely on their own investor funding for Starlink to remain a viable entity.

HTMX needs an easy way to update multiple named targets at a time. That's my current biggest problem with it.

Not sure why Israelis think it's acceptable to starve a child with a genetic disorder?

For EDA, gate-all-around technologies used in 2nm processes are banned from export by ITAR. This applies to device electrical modeling as well as physical design layout rules. You won’t find these GAA in KiCAD or OpenROAD.

I think for this case though it was specifically because Cadence sold a commercial product to a banned entity, instead of anything technology related.

ALL dictatorships need public support to remain in power. Even medeival kings needed public support from the merchant class.

The Democratic Party doesn't support Israel at all. The current elected officials do, but not the base. Polls show support for Palestine over Israel at a 5:1 ratio.

This is resulting in current Democratic elected officials being removed from power when their term expires, starting with the US Presidency last year, which was lost BECAUSE of their support for Israel. A YouGov poll earlier this year showed the primary reason Biden 2020 voters didn't vote for Harris was because of Israel: https://www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection-polling

This is all happening quickly. You won't see any Democratic candidate that supports Israel run for President in 2028.

Palestine never attacked Europe. European Jews attacked Palestine and started killing Palestinians to remove them in order to create the state of Israel. They invaded with boatloads of weapons brought in from Europe, starting in 1947 before the state of Israel even existed.

And they were doing the same stuff back then as they are doing now, such as burning children alive, as witnesses recalled during the Deir Yassin massacre, as well as rapes of Palestinians, as their own soldiers recalled. (see the amazing "Tantura" documentary describing war crimes committed by the European Jews during the Nakba)

Israel never won this war they started. They never got Palestine to surrender. This is why their homes are required to have bomb shelters, since all the Israeli colonists are living in an active war zone from a war they started.

What's going to be interesting is when the next Democratic administration comes into power, they're going to be extremely anti-Israel, given that the Democratic base is fully against Israel now at a 5:1 ratio. There will never be another Democratic President that supports Israel (none of the pro-israel candidates have any hope of ever being President) and this will mean extremely hard anti-Israeli action, using precedent like this to push anti-Islamophobia messages.

You can imagine the next Democrat administration defunding universities based on their collaboration with Israel, for example. Or defunding universities based on their punishment of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, etc..

People should accept that Israel lost against Hamas and be prepared for the consequences of that going forward. It's pretty much the same as a Vietnam situation, with the war being won/lost based on public opinion.

This is something you can vibe code in a day. I vibe codes something similar as a component for my larger project.

You’d have to engage professionally. For b2b, spend a few thousand dollars for a booth at a trade show focused on your industry. You can discuss with dozens of customers there. Also get people to write about you through press releases and PR.

Studio lighting isn’t natural lighting nor is it bounce flash lighting. I am specifically talking about amateurish event/wedding photographers that use bounce flash. Which have a iPhone use commonality. (You never use iPhones in studio.)

Yah you can't fix color balance from bad color cast.

ALL photos look good with direct flash. Never use bounce flash. And indirect lighting is never flattering. EVER. Fire any photographer that ever uses bounce flash. Nobody wants their muddied color.

I was also a photo editor with thousands of photographer submissions. I can always tell which ones used bounce flash. A sure sign of unprofessional amateurness.

I get that people have a desire to maintain their lazy habits, but my job was to make sure they understood they sucked at photography.

They're still over saturated. Skin tones always have a cosmetic/tanned look compared to real life. Mirrorless camera photos have a lot better output. You can see that even in the first sample comparison. If you look at the photo on the iPhone right when you took it, it doesn't look like the subject you just took a photo of. It's always over saturated compared to real life.

But really, the biggest advantage that mirrorless/dSLRs have over iPhones is the ability to connect a huge, powerful flash that you can directly fire at the subject. That's an absolute game changer for the typical use case of people photos - indoor parties, events, etc... Typically low or medium light situations. The Xenon light on a flash is basically close to a perfect natural light source with a CRI of 100, like the sun, so colors are always perfect. It's why red carpet photographers always use a huge powerful flash directly pointed at the subject.

But iPhones generally have to rely on environmental lighting (the iPhone lamp isn't bright enough to overcome environmental lighting effects).

Environmental lighting is a muddy mess. The subject is lit not only by various mismatching lamp colors with low CRI, but also by lighting reflected off a slightly beige wall or a bright red carpet on the ground.

BTW this is why I hate it when wedding photographers use bounce flash. They're lighting the subject by reflecting light off a beige wall or ceiling, muddying colors up completely. You never see professional red carpet photographers use bounce flash... (yes, I spent years doing red carpet and fashion week runway photography)

please please apple give us a M5 MacBook Pro laptop with 2TB of unified memory please please
