I’m just here for the illicit loading

“Preorders” were a fully refundable $100. The overwhelming majority of preorders canceled.

If we had one more season of Silicon Valley, Russ would absolutely be rubbing finger prints out of his Founder Edition Cyber Truck.

Looking at the 2024 sales numbers of the lighting and R1T, the Cybertruck is selling well comparatively.

That said, I can’t imagine that the look of the truck, and the actions of Tesla’s CEO, are helping sales in anyway.

This article doesn’t have any sources, and all of the sites talking about this are pretty unreliable. I’ll believe it’s real when the reliable rumor sites pick it up.

That said, Apple Intelligence has three tiers of prompt processing. Apple’s private on-device model, Apple’s private cloud model for more complex prompts, and external model integration for the most complex prompts processing. The latter is model agnostic.

Apple launched with ChatGPT as an optional integration, but in theory, it could plug into whatever. Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.

Apple will probably just swap GPT for DeepSeak in China, just like they swap Google for Baidu with search.

Fuck the big tech companies and all, but I don’t buy the argument that there is no competition in the US. If you believe that, you’re not paying attention to the space. There are a fuckload of weird models being developed in the US. Some by big players, and some by smaller companies.

IMHO, this is the same thing that happens with every new big advancement. PCs, internet, mobile, etc. People invest a shit load of money in the early players, then a ton of those early investments don’t pan out.

And often times, the people that really stand out are the smaller disrupters or the companies that come in a little later.

The thing will bullet point 1 is that finding exploits is becoming MUCH easier with LLMs. That said, it’s now arms race. Can you deploy AI to pressure test your systems and find the gaps before the bad actors do the same?

Wait until I show them my PHP BB.

Apple has not changed anything in the public build of iOS. News summaries are disabled in the developer beta of 18.3, which is still about 6-8 weeks away from being done.

And my point is that the headline makes it look like Apple intelligence is being disabled. It isn’t. This only impacts a feature of a feature. Notification summary functionality isn’t going away, it’s just being restricted to non-news apps in the current developer beta.

And they’re only on dev beta 3, and they usually release around beta 8, so things could change. They often do.

“Rolled back” is a bit of a clickbate title. iOS 18.3 will like turn off notification summaries for news apps.

So a small piece of one feature is likely being temporarily disabled.

In the back of my head, I always wonder, what if he’s actually brilliant, and this is all just a ploy to get dumb racist rednecks off of ICE vehicles.

I dig the industrial design updates. Looks more refined, the bigger controllers will be nicer for multiplayer, and they finally fixed that terrible kick stand.

The leaked hardware specs, if real, also look promising.

Your friend had impeccable taste. RIP

I just left because the platform is full of spam, narcissists and crazy family members that I don’t need in my life. It’s not fun anymore. Hasn’t been for a decade.

The explanation behind the survey data is pretty fascinating. Researchers surveyed people who don’t drink, not people who never drank.

A cohort of non-drinkers will also consist of recovering alcoholics. They needed to survey people who never consumed alcohol at all, not a group of people who weren’t currently drinking.

The problem isn’t the alert itself, it’s that cops put Twitter links in the alert. If you want to see what the car, suspect, or victim look like, you need to be able to access Twitter.

Police have been doing this for years now. It’s a fast a cheap way to microblog without buying or supporting something with the city’s budget.

“Copyright industry” is such a weird term. Why not use the term everyone already knows, media companies.
