This "adverserial" style of evaluating an LLM is interesting, but not the best evaluation. The best evaluation for how good an LLM is is if you give your best prompt instead of antagonizing the chatbot. That's the best way how we find out what its maximum capabilities are.

Things have definitely gotten better with MLX on the software side, though it still seems they could do more in that area (let’s see what the M5 Max brings). But even if they made big strides here, it won’t help previous generations, and the main thing limiting Apple Intelligence (in my opinion) will continue to be the 8 GB of unified memory they still insist on.
Is ofc true. Unified memory is always less than vram. And my 16GB vram aren't enough. But I think it's also a huge issue Apple makes storage so expensive. If Apple wants local AI to answer your questions it should be able to take your calender, emails, text messages, photos, journal entries into account. It can't do that if customers opt for only 256GB or 1TB devices due to cost.
This guy goes into war zones, is deaf on one ear from an explosion and was once tortured for 6 weeks. And he uses a Canon R ($1500) and a 50mm f1.2 ($2600). Why do you need more anon?
In my experience people who complain about having to correct chatbots often (not always) don't prompt long enough. For GPT-5 or GPT-OSS or equivalent models you don't write a Google query into a sentence. You can write 3 - 4 sentences and be surprised.
Here is how I would edit it:
- rotated it straight. There is a slight perspective shift therefore the rotation isn't 100% perfect.
- cleanup background. First I thought I would make it all blue sky but I like the yin-yang with the blue sky and red fall trees
- If I did have a 10bit or more RAW I would have fixed the overexposure on the dog and slightlighy lightened the dog as a whole. But I didn't
However, unlike the tech boom of the 1990s, the current AI boom isn’t translating into widespread economic optimism. In fact, Americans are remarkably downbeat about the economy and the future in general. And I think it’s worth trying to understand why.
Hottake: this is more cultural than economic
I know on this website most of you are either economic doomers, waiting for an eminent apocalypse or self loathing and whining how bad you think you have it.
But the real reason is that we've become culturally desensitized. Even people who made millions with nvidia just shrug their shoulders and go back to work instead of popping champagne. It doesn't feel like it matters anymore.
Do you guys use a 24-70 standard zoom? I don't but it feels like this type of lens is so so popular for Sony, Nikon, Canon
Scarcity in movies. We had a dozen or two VHS tapes or DVDs. We watched these specific movies over and over and over again. These specific ones for sure did change my character subconsciously.
This does not happen nowadays. Everyone watches everything. Nothing is personal to you anymore.
Can't say for sure, I have only made a few friendships (and those that I have boil down to instagram follows and less than yearly verbal exchange)
Barcelona and places like that seem pretty annoyed at the tourism - I think this applies to many big coastal cities. I know a few villages in the Italian mountainside where the locals are still very welcoming of tourists. This might be because they know their financial dependence is more direct and tangible. In big cities this cause-effect probably seems more abstract to the locals.
Idk can't say for sure
The places where I used to vacation as a kid but turned into tourist hotspots in the last years/decades
Places that used to be normal towns with locals, maybe one or two hotels. Now the beachfront is only hotels. On the analog pictures we were alone on the beaches, now they're 5 rows of parasols. Back then the ferry carried like a dozen cars. Now it's a huge ferry the size of a cruise ship.
The ski resorts that had one lift back then. The whole "resort" being 5 families and everyone ate lunch together - they turned the lift off while we ate lol. Now it's a huge resort with thousands of guests and dozens of lifts through the whole valley. And it isn't even cold enough to consistently snow nowadays.
It's bittersweet and I know many places like that all over europe. It's a bittersweet feeling and I can only share it with few people since back in the day middle and lower class people didn't vacation that much (and in this way) as we did
We're so suddenly in a new renaissance of >50mm portraits (see: #1230118). Who would have thought. This is amazing.
This thing is a fully fledged social media app?
What. Why. Who asked to have the ai slop brainrot the be more purely injected into his brain?
How do they do it without owning all of Youtube like Google does? It doesn't look like generated by unreal engine either.
It's piracy of Hollywood movies, isn't it? It has to be, where else are they getting the data from.
I'm surprised how many people voted 85mm, I like 50 better too
I guess 85 is like portrait portrait, real headshots. And 50mm is a little environmental and a little more context - which I like
Depends on what "easy of use" is for you
I'm now on Manjaro which in Arch based. If you can use pacman and flatpaks and AUR and a thing on docker every now end then simultaneously, this might be a good choice. If that is too much for you and you just want to sudo apt install ... then yes, go for something Ubuntu or similar from the Debian world.
Taking ownership in companies. Raining in free trade. Micromanaging all kinds of parts of the economy. And now: state sponsored ventures.
Died in 1991, born again 2025: socialism is back again.
What is more, demand in many Asian countries is weak. Some places, including South Korea, are experiencing business-cycle slumps.
I have a weird theory. I think a lot of Asians are just not that into consumerism. They just don't feel like owning a lot of stuff and are content with less. This was the story of Japan in the lost decade(s) - the japanese didn't buy all the new tech like video recorders and TVs and VHS and stuff themselves, they exported it. China, likewise, right now is pumping out exports - the worlds factory produces everything but only recently for themselves. South Korea has lots of giant megacorps but the median Korean owns less than people in Spain. It's cultural.
