but does it still take up the 35GB?

It’s probably the influence of the current American administration, but I find all these AI weapons projects and startups so unbelievably uninspiring. Same with the fighting robots. We finally have a somewhat intelligent AI and we’re not advancing our healthcare, personal care, environmental problems, speeding up construction, finding new materials, etc.

The first one that gets to AGI will make the world worse instead of better. Depressing.

Destruction is easy and entropically rewarded. We've long since lost our way in rewarding and recognizing things that are positive.

Howl by Ginsberg needs a rewrite. "The greatest minds of my generation were harnessed to boil the oceans and reduce the world to ash in the pursuit of capital gains"

Golden HN rule: the more complaints, the more successful the product will turn out because normal people like it. It’s like the inverse Cramer.

Maybe, but I would argue the Vision Pro is a devkit.

The Reddit Rule: The more votes someone gets for bitching about something, the more popular that thing is in the Real World.

Like on the post about the No Man's Sky update: "Oh these devs have been putting out free updates for 10 years? So what? I don't like it"

The worst thing about cynical-for-the-sake-of-being-cynical goons is that they drown out the actual legitimate complains and concerns about something.

Things were simpler in the Slashdot/iPod era.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

When the patent trolls die down and accuracy improves.

All folding phones will converge to this.

Z Fold 8 already has this form factor, just without the giant corners so the front/inside screen are symmetrical on both axes and share the same radius.

Exactly, most Chinese/Eastern brands already standardised on the passport form factor, which is also why Apple chose it I guess. It has aspect ratio benefits.

They must bend and flex, or they will crumple. Soon they will congregate, enclosed within the fold.

Who knows? :) I have to say that for me, making something physical is a greatly fulfilling diversion.

Yep, feels nice to work in both mental problems as well as physical ones.

Yeah, exactly. I cannot wait to use this to take care of the boring stuff.

16 is fine if you don’t connect your phone to rhe internet, or use sms.

I suspect it just hasn’t been a priority problem in the past. This could very well have been a premature optimization when compared to getting services up and running reliably.

They've had cdn forever. How could cutting storage and bandwidth needs by 2/3 not have been a priority...?

Both were incredibly cheap until a few years ago, but I have no insights into their business.
