trvz··on Samsung reveals Galaxy Z Fold 8 that will compete with the iPhone Ultra
It would be nice to combine my iPhone and iPad mini into a single device.
trvz··on New Framework Desktop Option with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 and 192GB Memory
That’s a common expression.
trvz··on Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM
Google is not Apple. Apple customers expect the higher standard.
trvz··on Orion Browser by Kagi
That computer, even with only 8GB RAM, should still handle Chrome well. You may have something bad installed or something misconfigured.
trvz··on Qwen 3.8
Yes, but it’s not available in all App Store regions.
trvz··on Qwen 3.8
It’s available in the iOS app (or was for me), both logged in and out.
trvz··on LM Studio Bionic: the AI agent for open models
To be fair, Ollama has been pushing their own cloud offering just as much.

For some of the latest big models (from Minimax, GLM, Kimi, etc.) even after months they still don't provide official downloadable versions, just their cloud one.

trvz··on LM Studio Bionic: the AI agent for open models
Anyone even a little bit serious will be paying either way. If not for the cloud models, then for hardware upgrades.
trvz··on I also filed the corners off my MacBook
I checked, too, after your comment. It's ~50% on an M2 (with 10 GPU cores) according to iStat Menus.
trvz··on Bonsai 27B: A 27B-Class model that runs on a phone
I still don’t see the point of this. In my testing, it’s worse than Qwen 3.5 4B and even 0.8B.
trvz··on Please don't discontinue Gemini 2.5 Flash
That, and while you’ve chained yourself to the floor of the littoral zone previously.
trvz··on GPT-5.6
That sounds intentional though.
trvz··on AMD Ryzen AI Halo – $4k AI Dev Kit
And 4000 USD is over 1.2 million Hungarian forints.
trvz··on Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5
> The leading Chinese models are only a few months behind now
trvz··on Can China build its own ASML?
Cheaper isn’t even required; just better scalability.
trvz··on Apertus – Open Foundation Model for Sovereign AI
The previous version of this model has been pretty bad, but claimed to adhere to copyright laws. However, based on my testing, that's not true either. So in my view this is completely useless.
trvz··on The Wholesale Plagiarism of Obscure Sorrows
GPT 5.5 Pro is worth the increased price of the higher subscription.
trvz··on NetNewsWire Status
Use Pihole.
trvz··on Apple Foundation Models
Do you guys not have phones (with at least 1TB of storage)?
trvz··on Claude Fable is relentlessly proactive
They still shouldn’t be running on the same network.

And if you’re using Macs, you can’t be signed into your primary Apple ID on the agent machine.

trvz··on macOS 27 Beta breaks the ability to boot Asahi Linux
The M1 is still perfectly fine.
trvz··on Apple bets cheaper AI will woo small developers
Apple tax generally refers to the 30% cut on app and in-app sales.
trvz··on MacBook Neo is so popular that Apple doubled production
They did a smaller one with an Intel CPU in the 2015 Macbook.

There’s just no good low power x86 CPU.

trvz··on Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left
And even when people use bookmarks they often don't bother to change the titles. Very irksome.
trvz··on Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left
And I chose to set a browser bookmark with the corresponding GET parameters.
trvz··on Nvidia RTX Spark
They didn’t though. Rosetta 2.
trvz··on Nvidia RTX Spark
No.
trvz··on Odysseus – self-hosted AI workspace
Wake me when you can increase the awfully tiny font size of the nav.
trvz··on DuckDuckGo search saw 28% more visits after Google said people love AI mode
I feel like the second scenario was never good with Google. You had to go through several search results describing other problems, and there was a high chance you still didn't find anything relating to yours; and then, it wasn't guaranteed that a years-old problem got fixed.

If I have an issue with my Mac, seeing an Apple Discussions result at the top readies me for disappointment.

Meanwhile, I've found a normal chat with current ChatGPT to be very helpful, as long as it isn't about itself or other OpenAI products.

trvz··on Unicode 18.0.0 Beta
I enjoy putting emojis in folder names on my computer for easier visual identification.

Also, in passwords on websites to keep developers on their toes.
