But, that's exactly what they're doing right now, and you're still not satisfied? What would be different compared to today? It very much is exactly what they're doing.
I haven't seen it yet. Maybe I'll be satisfied when I do, but as of today it still makes no sense to buy an xbox and hasn't made sense for many many years.
The series S at launch, probably until year 3 or so, was arguably the greatest deal in gaming. Especially with how easy it was to get cheap (even free) gamepass.
Yea, it's kind of odd how "sour grapes" people can be when something stops being as special as they thought it was.
Take someone from a few hundred years ago and drop them into today, and if they don't go catatonic and die, then they'd tell you that we created magic. "Wow, you live in a world of magic and all you do is bitch about it".

Actuallllly these hypothetical people from a few hundred years ago hypothetically said you are an awful person for misrepresenting them, stop putting words in their mouth, thank you!
A person inventing something, even out of dumb luck, is interesting.
A machine running a loop through an expensive LLM for an undisclosed amount of time, which cost an undisclosed amount of money, which was told to keep looping into a solution was found, for a problem that nobody was very concerned about... That just seems like PR, and it's not so interesting.
Been playing around with both of these since last night. So far, when enabling reasoning (which is binary on/off), it seems to me like Flash either is less "token efficient" or just likes to think more, or I'm doing something else wrong, because most prompts I send to both, Flash reasons more and for longer than Pro, which is the opposite of my expectations.
Any lower (or broken) quantization could do that, not what I'm talking about though. They work fine for their size, as far as I can tell. Just surprised the Flash would reason for longer than the Pro.
Wonder if they proudly tell Chinese users (or visitors to China) that suddenly their data is going to a different place than usual, servers outside of Apple's control?
Whatever well-founded/or not distrust people have in Chinese models, this dashboard proves/shows nothing that can make them trust it more or less. It's like providing the journalctl logs of your HTTP server on your website and claim this proves NSA isn't listening or something.

Why is that? These models without guardrails are only accessible from within, and seemingly they let any person regardless of experience/skill/knowledge to fire up their own security testing with these models that don't have guardrails.
Until they either get people who know how to isolate things (basically Linux people), or release models without guardrails, I think for-profit companies will continue being the ones that "accidentally" (not really) hacks other companies.
I've been using an iPhone 12 Mini since however long it's been out, never used Siri intentionally either, would prefer to disable it fully, but CarPlay for some reason cannot be used without Siri, even though I never use Siri. I consider it 1st party malware at this point.
It’s because they’d prefer you interacted with CarPlay with voice rather than looking away from the road.
An admirable objective, but given how “well” siri has worked in the past, an unrealistic one. We’ll see if 27 is a significant improvement. If I had to bet, I’d bet no, at least for the next year.
> It’s because they’d prefer you interacted with CarPlay with voice rather than looking away from the road.
So given I don't want to look at the phone nor speak with Siri, can I turn off interacting with the phone at all while it's connected? No, somehow, they do it the opposite way, and oh no, accidentally I need to also agree that Siri can listen all the time and also agree to...
Come on, it's very transparent what they're doing. Siri on or off doesn't make me or others look more or less on the phone. Forcing Siri on, forces us who don't use Siri and don't want to use Siri, to accidentally trigger Siri while we fucking drive, which is absolutely horrible.
Doing the same more or less, replacing vscode for vim. Usually three/four panes open, one codex running in a container so it doesn't share my host filesystem, one pane for git diffs/git, one for general shelling and one for neovim basically. One of these per project/task/worktree I'm working on, usually 1-2, maximum 3 at the same time.
Not sure what all the other folks are doing, but the industry/ecosystem tends to over-engineer every single thing instead of just working on the thing, while I just want proper code, proper design/architecture, and proper high-quality results.
It does "work", you can download ansible today and use it, it does what it says. Is it the greatest solution for all use cases in infrastructure? Of course not, nothing is. Do people misuse it? Of course too, we're all human.
Regardless of what tooling you use, we're all building houses of cards, and depending on the situation, try to hold down those cards as well as we can, balancing a ton of other needs and requirements.
But, that's exactly what they're doing right now, and you're still not satisfied? What would be different compared to today? It very much is exactly what they're doing.
