The US is still fixable if young people will just fucking vote. Irreparable damage has been done, which means the old structures are gone, but they can be replaced with new ones -- a hypothetical Democratic president would need to clean house top to bottom. Obama's greatest flaw was that he didn't see the need to do that after Shrub.

You're making assumptions that aren't supported if you read the actual lawsuit.

We're on the cusp of Kimi K3 becoming usable on sub-10k hardware.

128 isn't enough, but if this report is accurate, the next Mac Studio could run it

IME: Gemma is not great for programming, but it is fantastic at following directions compared to anything else in its size class.

"Better things aren't possible" is a terrible outlook. There have been real improvements in this space, such as passkeys, and recognition that some of this stuff, like frequent password changes, is counterproductive.

It's actually a little harder than people outside the UI framework space might think (there's really not a lot of time per frame; it's easy to put too much work where it doesn't belong; it's easy to regress if you're not monitoring for it after code changes).

It's core to usability at this point, though. They should make the effort.

It's relevant politically, and the discussion in question is political.

Governments don't have a business model. They don't need to make a profit. (Also, debt doesn't work the same way for the federal government that it does for a business or even a US state.)

>The real reason we are using Claude is for the SaaS aspect of it. It has a toolchain, a friendly interface, and a bunch of integrations with business applications.

That is a very thin moat, though. There's nothing you can do with, for example, Claude Code + Opus 4.8 that you can't do with your own custom harness running API-level Opus 4.8, which means that if you can afford the hardware (the moat for running any SOTA model) you don't need to pay Anthropic anymore.

I'm not saying they shouldn't, but I understand why they don't.

Meta had Llama, which set a lot of things on fire in a good way, and then disappeared from the scene as tech advanced.

What does Microsoft have?

Not sure SpaceX counts. Nobody sane uses Grok. It's untrustable due to reality-distorting political bias training, and it's strongly associated with CSAM production. Not what you want in a reliable corporate utility.

Wow. That has aged hilariously poorly indeed. OMG.

> But China is falling behind on AI algorithms due to their weaker models

They wrote this shit in April 2025. And they put their names on it. Beyond hubris.

bash is really painful to use for anything beyond the most rudimentary logic. Bourne and Mashey were terrible language designers. (By contrast, Thompson's V6 shell is very elegant, if limited.)

That said, this should just be a shell itself and not something that generates into other shell dialects. Otherwise, why not use Ruby or something like it that has actual expressive power?

This sort of thing drives people to more open competitors. I use both every day and Opus isn't that much better than the Chinese SOTA. If corporate policy allowed me to use GLM or DeepSeek I absolutely would. Claude is already pricey for what it offers.

Given the tenor of the comments on this article, I think reading TFA is super important, especially the author's disclaimer at the end, where they state that they're definitely not blindly trusting the AI at this stage, just that they find the differential unsettling.

Aside from sportsball, AI and deranged [tb]illionaire behavior is basically it.

No. It's literally RAM.

You're into Chainsaw Man and Dorohedero but not JJK?

What? This is a golden age of anime.

You could count the number of anime available in the west and worth watching 25 years ago on one hand, maybe two.

Now? If you can't find something, you're not looking hard enough. Off the top of my head, current anime that do not remotely fit your categories:

- Spy x Family

- Dandadan

- Dungeon Meshi

- Apocalypse Hotel

- Yumi no Tsugai (Daemons of the Shadow Realm)

- Kaiju No. 8

- Marriage Toxin

- Steel Ball Run

- The Summer Hikaru Died

- Akane-Banashi

- Dorohedoro

edit: formatting. edit 2: added Dorohedoro, good call down below

None of that makes you happier.

Define happiness, but there's a baseline for not being miserable (I have enough to eat etc) and then there's actual satisfaction with your life.

If you doubt the thesis, consider the extreme examples of Musk and Trump. they have infinite wealth and power and are demonstrably, publicly miserable.

The consistently happiest people I've personally met are Buddhist monks of various sects, who have nearly nothing in terms of money or physical possessions.

indeed, there's even a (pretty solid) custom server just for DS4 https://github.com/antirez/ds4

-- works very well on high-RAM Macs

LG + never log it in to the internet + an Apple TV box. The webOS UI sucks, but so do all the others apparently, and you never have to interact with it in practice if you use the Apple TV for streaming.

You kind of don't need them in Ruby, because everything is a method or an object or a closure and you can dynamically create and alter those at runtime. That's why Ruby is really good for ad-hoc DSLs in ways that Rust and Swift really are not.

You can actually get high-quality code out of them -- at least with Claude; not had a great experience with Gemini -- but for complex tasks requires riding them very, very hard and really understanding where things can go wrong and poking at them repeatedly. Iterate, iterate, iterate.

and for maxed-out M5 Macs

If Portal counts, so does Control

That's very much not how it works. Musk and Trump are absolutely miserable despite having effectively infinite wealth and power. Not that either of them have the taste to wear an Aquanaut, mind.

What the author is actually discussing is a broader sociopolitical issue of society having a thing jammed down its throat by billionaires. While the thing in question is GenAI, it's not really about the actual technology or the applications of LLMs.

Can you point to a single performant, high-quality SwiftUI-first app with a messages-like chronological transcript and correct scrolling behavior on macOS? The problems with AppKit integration are real and should not be dismissed out of hand.

It's likely the SwiftUI Mac implementation is subpar. SwiftUI-on-Catalyst might be a better choice for these applications, but it probably has other problems.
