Exactly this I've been saying also. It’s completely obvious and I don’t understand how this argument is not brought up more frequent. If AI would take let’s say 50% of IT jobs there'd be a huge drop in consumer demand that’d send shockwaves through the entire economy…

Are you sure about that correlation? I mean how would those who inherit this old stock pay for all these renovations if they just lost their job to the AI and barely scrape by? Maybe then the 70s tiles bathroom doesn’t looks so bad anymore.

What I notice is that the entire OS feels very laggy. Many interactions just don’t feel as snappy anymore as before. The worst candidate for this is definitely Mission Control, it has become a total dumpster fire in my opinion. (BTW: running on an M4 Pro MBP)

Or get a 20$ subscription from each major provider and have 40$ spare for openrouter credits. That’s what I’m doing.

Been working a lot recently with Grok 4.6 for implementation and gpt 5.6 sol for review. Worked really good so far.

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for bolognese

At this point I lost all hope for Europe playing any significant role in the AI race. If that’s a good or a bad thing I don’t know, but it seems to me like that’s the reality.

Never thought to hear someone here mention Maximum Overdrive. Indeed a hilarious movie and the only movie for which AC/DC ever recorded an (instrumental) soundtrack.

Why does every AI lab feel the need to build their own coding agent…? Don’t we have more than enough already?

Wherever, can be also in a Brauhaus :) Updated my bio with an email, feel free to contact me (also in german)

Anyone who’d be interested in a meetup in Cologne?

Question is, does Motorolas offering support the mmWave frequency band? I know that the Motorola Edge+ does support those bands, however it had an introductory price of 999$ so not exactly a bargain.

For about a year now i am working on an iOS Application that requires good OCR. With the release of iOS 13 Apple has added an API for this in their Vision Framework and i have to say i am shocked how good it works. It works completely on device and, according to Apple, uses Machine Learning.

You can feed it an image that contains text, with the only constrained being that the text should not be rotated. Depending how much text there is it can digitize a 12MP image in about .5 to 2 seconds on an iPhone Xs.

I compared it to ABBYYs OCR SDK and i have to say Apple's OCR outperforms it nearly every time both in speed as well as in recognition quality. I am still fascinated by it and would really like to know how this is working under the hood.

Well, you can't test a treatment for 5 years if you release it within 18 months.
