Yeah exactly, local AI is the long term future. Open weight models running on your desk are already good enough for a lot of tasks, and quickly getting better.
Apple are in a very good position here and don’t really need to do all that much other than continue to iterate on their existing hardware.
Compare that to Anthropic, OpenAI who must spend insane amounts to host their closed weight models, which seem to be unprofitable at any prices people are actually prepared to pay. As local AI improves these companies have no other business to fall back on. I know which company I’d rather be CEO of right now.
The Middle East crisis. To be followed by the El Niño food crisis, to be followed by whatever next. World is not returning to a low inflationary environment any time soon
They stopped doing hot food in the cafe. Then the cafe was closed six months later due to a lack of business, what a shock.
Those ‘nectar price’ so called discounts which are often just a non card holder surcharge.
Then they started asking you to scan your receipt to leave the store. Screw that I’m not a performing monkey. No one cares if you set the alarm off walking through anyway so what’s the point.
Last time I was there there was a big tv beeping at me and showing a video with a facial recognition thing as I went past.
Truly dismal experience. I mostly go to Aldi these days.
I like auto mode but you need something like “If the auto mode classifier denies your request stop and ask the human, do not attempt to work around it “ in your CLAUDE.md. Without it it has a tendency to try rather creative solutions to work around the denial, which kind of misses the point.
Probably for the best. I spoke to a cashier at a local game store once, she was explaining how terrible it was to see so many people coming in who were obviously being scammed but wouldn’t listen to the advice from the cashier. They preferred it when they didn’t have any to sell.
Yeah 3 finger drag is a game changer.
Also I like the ‘control+two finger swipe = zoom’ option in the accessibility settings. Really handy to quickly zoom in and out on something.

It was about to but then Trump cancelled it before it came in. Shocker.

Sainsbury’s goes from bad to worse.

It can’t be that. A linter would just remove them. It’s got to be detectable in the prose itself.
Probably means even worse comments!

The Manchester UK IMAX, which is showing it on 70mm is back to back sold out for every screening. Hoping to get the chance soon!
Lasted about as long as the European Super League
Melania
Also when someone says ‘the mainstream media aren’t covering this’, they usually are, just not in the way they want.
Somehow even worse than i remembered!
Houston Texas. Population 2.3m. Number of inter city trains a day: 2. One in each direction.
Glassholes have returned
I hope Count Binface chooses to stand
I can highly recommend Shapez 2. I’m a bit off and on with factory games but this one really grabbed me.
They can’t and Anthropic have disabled it for US users too.
Though that’s perhaps, in part, to get the govt to change its mind.
