What's up with all the negativity? Apple is finally doing something radical (for them) again with the iPhone, their bread and butter. And I'm all here for it. 10 years of the same form factor was getting old. I'm gonna buy this on release, easiest decision ever.
If they had chose either of the other two folding formats, and reduced the amount of screen they cut off in the corners, they probably would have had gold on their hands and shifted the market towards foldables.
Triple fold just seems awkward as heck, plus you have to design the UI for it around the fold section. I’m pretty bullish on the duo design. Hopefully we see some more unique designs in the future if this works out.
Reminds me a lot of big tech campus interior decoration. A lot of greys, neutral colors, very little color or personality.
Pretty much what you'd expect from techies that never really thought too hard about their living space beyond functionality.
I mean, I'm the same, so no judgement, but I did hire an interior decorator for my own place. Definitely worth the money and my house has all kinds of funky fun stuff and colors going on (on top of being 130 years old and super wonky everywhere, ha ha).
bibliotek is an interesting one, and one of the most exclusive trackers around.
They have very high requirements as their entire purpose is archival. You can't download anything without uploading new content first.
It's probably the most complete archive of niche books in existence - it's a librarian's wet dream. No wonder LLM training used it, and probably paid a lot of money to someone for access.
I'll actually contradict you on this, while certainly bibliotek is one of those harder to get into and "survive" private tracker is nothing compared to "The* Network" with trackers like TheOccult, TheVault and so on... on these trackers you are actually required to take a interview with some of the staff members, if you ever manage to even get into one of them your activity will be heavily monitored by admins and moderators with god complex and they will decide if you are fit enough to be appart of that community... especially the admins of TheOccult they are extraordinarily strict and insane.. But again they actually host and share some very very rare books, but you need to contribute heavily to even access them...
Yeah I pretty much soley used assistant.kagi.com the last couple months. Traditional search days are really numbered.
I'm finding though ChatGPT with sol 5.6 is as good or better, so I'm using that primarily these days. Can also do actions in browsers on your behalf, so you can have it book your whole vacation, etc. Pretty rad.
There is a lot that agents can help with wrt search, but they also have a lot of blind spots. They work well many times, but then there are times where I find stuff that multiple llms missed. Imo this is gonna work as in many other domains, as in the more different tools one is proficient with (searching with llms, searching traditionally etc) the more successfully one solves problems.
Funny how that works out, because AI is the solution to a problem significantly worsened by AI. The web didn't used to be this terrible before chatGPT, now it's just so much slop. At this point AI is required to sift through all the bullshit caused at least in part by AI.
Yeah OAI really nailed the communication style with GPT. It also seems just way more token efficient and faster compared to cc. Myself and all my friends have cancelled our $200 Anthropic subs. I'm using a $20 personal plan and even that is enough for my usage so far.
Also using Codex or Pi makes you realise how slow and clunky the cc harness is. Even the desktop app is more responsive and has better UX.
This is something that annoys me working in companies over the years. It’s that you can't just suggest "calm down, chasing the latest thing will not make you faster and is a huge distraction to actual work". Whether it's dot-com tech 20 years ago, latest JS framework 10 years ago, now it's the AI thing of the day. Being calm is interpreted as anti-whatever.
tintinweb/pi-subagents. Then I use superpowers and it spins up subagents automatically. Works really well and you can customise the models and efforts you want to use with local AGENTS.md.
I’m primarily using gpt-5.6 and then opus for reviews.
