> And if you look at Boston Dynamics, Unitree and Generalist's progress on robotics

Their progress is almost nought. Humanoids are stupid creations that are not good at anything in the real world. I'll give it to the machine dogs, at least they can reach corners we cannot.


I found there demonstration at the CES this year very spectacular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIhzUnvi7Fw

How can you say the advancements since Honda's asimo robot amount to "almost naought"?


I believe Anthropic added CC back to the pro plan.

the point is that they tipped their hand about where they want to go in the future. They are just A B testing to see how much it pissed off their customers

Yeah. Sometimes it’s about knowing when to quit.

Someone will use LLMs to create new languages, from which new patterns will arise.

Apparently not.


Business as usual.

Looking at the state of EVs nowadays, I'd say Apple dodged a huge bullet. EV is no special without self-driving and also batteries literally become trash after a few years.

EV batteries do not become "trash" after a few years.

Neo is a good product, but they're making their better products (Macs) more out of reach for a whole class of customers.

Is that really true? The price of Macs today is far lower than it used to be when adjusted for inflation. I know this is true of all computers, but you can get a really good Mac computer without spending a lot of money, historically speaking.

The Macbook Air, the best computer for most people, starts at $1099. I paid something like $2,700 for my computer, which I brought to college in 2002. That's about $5,000 in today's money.


Mac Mini is a stellar product...

In other words: IKEA-esque. Should be the goal of any so-called modular systems.
