@andrewjclare Well Apple themselves draw inspiration from Braun and Dieter Rams' philosophy, I guess it's all about stealing like an artist

crazy how much apple influences other brands. no one did the camera plateau like this until apple. they continue to be “the brand”
English
@localghost For the people saying this is just an ipad with a keyboard, yeah but I think as a programmer I'd rather buy this than the ipad thanks to macOS and the zsh terminal
English
$499 is crazy for what this is.
Whatever you think their faults are, Apple's skill at supply chains is kind of second to none.

NEWS: Apple has introduced the MacBook Neo, their most affordable laptop ever. • Price: $599 ($499 for students) • 16 hour battery life • 13" display, 500 nits • A18 Pro chip • 256GB or 512GB of storage • Four colors: silver, indigo, blush, and citrus • Weight: 2.7 lbs • Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6 connectivity • 8GB RAM • 1080p front-facing camera, dual mics with directional beamforming, and dual side-firing speakers with Spatial Audio. • Lowest-carbon Mac. Features 60% recycled materials, more than any other Apple product. • Available starting March 11

I dunno man, I think I would rather deal with macOS than with ipadOS when it comes to how walled the garden is. I think this would be a pretty sweet deal for indie devs who want to test out their swift apps using xcode for cheap and still be able to install open source packages, use the terminal and have root access and stuff like that
English
This is an iPad, with touch screen taken away and keyboard built in
Same chip (A series), same RAM (8gb), same screen size, probably the exact same camera.
iPad starts at $349 + $199 for Magic Keyboard folio
$549 for essentially the same thing + a touchscreen
Lol

Apple has announced the MacBook Neo! - $599 - A18 Pro Chip - Colors: Silver, Indigo, Blush, and Citrus - 1080p Camera - 16 Hour Battery Life - 13-inch Display

Steve Jobs used to just sit on a pile of cash during his time at Apple for "rainy days" and I suppose its part of the company culture to be highly liquid at all times to weather storms as they come. Freezing their RAM prices implies that they can and will ride out this hike, which is reassuring that a big tech company believes RAM prices will return to normal
English
Nobody is talking about @apple keeping prices the same for the 128GB MacBook Pro. There has been no price increase in response to surging memory prices.
Everyone is talking about the boost in compute, speeding up prefill by 4x. This is cool but practically it’s not that big of a deal. Why? Because on your own computer, most apps/tools using LLMs are going to get high kv cache hit rates - that means as a user you only experience slow prefill once. kv cache can be persisted to disk and loaded at 6GB/s.
Most time in LLM inference is spent on decode, which is memory bandwidth bound.
It’s still great for image/video generation, high batch LLM inference and fine-tuning, which are compute bound. We should see huge speedups there.
Apple’s AI strategy is on-device LLMs and here, memory is the name of the game, not FLOPS.
Expect the same for M5 Pro/Max Mac Mini and M5 Ultra Mac Studio. That means 512GB M5 Ultra at 10k!
@tim_cook is a supply chain genius.
Greg Joswiak@gregjoz
The all-new MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max pushes the boundaries of what you can accomplish from anywhere. Run advanced large language models on device and unlock capabilities that can't be done on any other laptop—all while maintaining exceptional battery life!
English
@linguinelabs Yes, this is what I do all the time! Starting to run out of memorable ports and ram at this point
English
basically all coding models are good enough to do whatever is asked of them, and simultaneously are terrible at handling ambiguity. when left to make choices all of them make the easiest & often worst choices. such that they might be good programmers but terrible engineers.
English
This just puts it up for interpretation and may waste court time in the future. What's to say (or argue against) that it is meaningful modification to AI generate a mascot and edit said mascot into my logo and branding elements? I did AI generate the mascot, but I did meaningfully modify my logo with conventional photo editing tools to incorporate mascot into it
English
So many people are misinterpreting this. You can still copyright AI content, but only if you meaningfully modify it, which is what every studio will do anyways.
Still a win on the breaking down copyright law though (since copyright law definitely needs a revision)

Ai-generated artwork officially is ineligible for copyright protection as the US Supreme Court declined to review a appeal case. The court rules that artwork needs to have a human creator in order to be eligible. (Source: reuters.com/legal/governme…)

The main reason why AI writing is even such a hot topic is because AI just lets anyone use it as they please and the result is a physically similar article. A very inexperienced writer and an experienced writer both would produce an article of 500 words given a topic.
But the inexperienced guy would simply just ask the AI to "write something on X" thus producing the purest slop known to mankind, vs the experienced person taking their time to collect their thoughts and concepts and coherently putting them together and filling in the blanks with AI, producing something worth reading as opposed to slop
But people see "made with AI" and their first thought is the inexperienced guy and they immediately say "this is AI slop, I'm not reading this" instead of examining if the concepts exposed is slop or not
English
don’t like the Borg language but - “reporting and writing are two different skills” feels important and even fundamental outside of news
Max Tani@maxwelltani
New: Tension at the Associated Press over use of AI. One of the AP newsroom leaders leading the company's AI initiatives told staff that many editors preferred an AI-written article to a human one, and told them when it comes to using AI in the newsroom "resistance is futile."
English
I mean, the macbook mini would sound like it was physically smaller, which it isn't, and they can't call it just a macbook because the macbook air implies its thinner than the base macbook (it's not) and its already established that a macbook is always one of air or pro and its cognitively easier to grasp neo that way
English
Neo is the least Apple-sounding product name ever

@Barney_H_Y Too many vibeshifts in the last 4 months, I'm just very glad the APIs are interchangeable or else it would be very ugly shifting from one model to another as much as I do right now
English
@thekitze They just shipped an ipad with an attached keyboard and called it a day 😭 designed for educators and it doesn't even have an HDMI port to let professors connect to projectors without a dongle, questionable position for the audio jack
so many things wrong with this
English
lmao $599 macbook literally rip everyone else

Wow this is the absolute worst case. The ideal best case would be for both agents to realize that they're talking to an agent (preferably using an imperceptible smell, style of talking or an audio that plays early in the call or other methods which lets the agents know theyre agents) and them shifting to a very low token communication method to achieve the intended outcome
English
New voice agent edge case just dropped 😂
“They kept politely confirming things, asking for clarification, thanking each other, re-confirming previous confirmations”

@dreamingtulpa I can't call these things slop anymore 😭 I'm really enjoying watching these

Claude Code is about to launch a "--less-dangerously-skip-permissions" mode AKA "auto mode" 👀
Given the huge enterprise adoption this makes a lot of sense!
Daniel Sternlicht@dsternlicht
Was about to run #ClaudeCode with "--dangerously-skip-permissions" when @AnthropicAI emailed me a safer alternative at that exact moment. Like grabbing junk food at midnight and getting your weekly health report notification. Still hit Enter though. auto mode can have me tomorrow 😁

@bbssppllvv So this is just mobbin as an MCP 😭 stop wiping our "taste" UI moats man

Imagine your AI doing design research before generating UI. Studying real screens and user flows instead of guessing
That’s Refero MCP refero.design/mcp

I like Glaze. You don't always like dealing with a chat window and wasting tokens with an agent to get some basic things done like with openclaw (altho it might be cognitively less load sometimes) so its better to chat with AI once to get an easy app done and installed into your computer as a one time process instead
English
Been using Glaze for a few weeks to make personal tools and its so incredibly slick.
Made this image converter today that watches folders and converts / resizes any images added to it based on some rules.
Something only I need, tailored to my exact workflow.
