The more feasible route for most folks is going to be a $3k MacBook Pro to run a model like that, so the economics are a little more workable (other issues aside)

I know it benefits from a lifetime of nostalgia, but the soundscapes in this game are so good

I'm tempted to throw out a Potter Stewart "I'll know it when I see it", but unfortunately the tech bros already demonstrated too much credulity for that. LLMs demonstrate cognition, but cognition is not consciousness. I'll have empathy for LLMs when they have the capacity to yearn

Branding the slop machines as "AI" was a real marketing coup

It’s interesting to have this shortly after a 10 trillion parameter model is teased. Can’t help the feeling that chasing infinitely large models is a losing game in the long run…

I guess they took a page out of Meta’s book. WhatsApp explicitly prevents installation on iPad, and Instagram still doesn’t have a iPad view after a decade

We just count our lucky stars that Jimmy Wales didn’t do that to Wikipedia too 😂

Do you think they ever tried using their super-secret-security-breaking-AI to red team their own security?

People who name their vscode themes 'High Contrast', but the text is 4 different shades of medium grey...

Windsurfing jesus took me by surprise

plus you have to drum up a whole bunch of hype in advance for that $10,000/month subscription tier

I moved all mine to iPhone, the alternative seems to be a losing battle 🫠

impressive problem solving, definitely digs into problems better than m2.7

Kimi dashboard showing 20% weekly usage

Hilariously, that also burnt 20% of weekly usage, so you get... ~5 hours/week usage on the $20 plan

I gave it a spin, and burnt through the 5 hour request budget in under an hour. So definitely not going to be able to run continuously like the $10 minimax plan can

Notable that Kimi themselves are worried about that issue www.kimi.com/blog/kimi-ve...

Has someone benchmarked it vs m2.7 yet? minimax subscription pricing is really hard to beat

The mastodon.social status page, showing 43% uptime

As much fun as it is to dunk on bsky reliability, the alternatives have their own challenges…

Better routes was already strip mined by Google maps et al. Any margin there is long gone

The market is how we got in this mess. Make it track median household income…

Alternate history where the LoTR TCG used art instead of movie stills

It may be that a side effect of the current times is being able to overcome the institutional inertia that always tanked that kind of thing in the past due to concerns over sunk cost

As someone who has always spent a lot of effort introducing new/better tools and processes to the workplace, the fact that one can now just say “port the whole app to framework X” and go get a coffee is… weird

Also huge on an EU-wide basis, since the last guy was blocking a bunch of EU initiatives (like the funding package for Ukraine)

This is really coming together! I like that it evokes Townscaper while having a very distinct visual identity

Isn't that how basically the whole space program was run? (substitute 'Russia' for 'China' as needed)

Raising the recruitment age to 42 is… I was happy to be safely clear of the old age limit

I find their whole 2D-in-3D approach really compelling

The world where cheap TV panels didn’t cannibalise the PC display market…

I honestly don’t know how cats will react, but I have a friend who regularly has calls with his dog via some sort of cube with integrated calling and dog treats 🤷‍♀️
