OLED iPad dont have always on because of burn-in. Considering people certainly use it as photo frame, notification and time daahboars, kitchen recipe book, etc.

Less of a problem for iphones that unlikely to stay for a week in the same place plugged in and unused.


I don't think many people are spending $1k on an iPad Pro, the only iPad with OLED, to use as a picture frame.

They dont buy it for this purpose. Its just end up like that for a lot of people I know since it just weird device between iphone and macbook that end not being used for much.

It’s a professional mobile artist bonanza idk why you claim it isn’t used much when this expensive device is more than earning its worth

Yeah sure if you buy it as a toy it may not be used for much lol. Check your consumerism


I not saying anything about device itself.

I just pointing out how quite a big part of Apple consumer base use these devices: buy most expensive one, play with it for a few weeks and then leave it as kitchen tablet that is used ocassionally. You know every second housewife wants to be an artist but very few actually use it for this beyond first few weeks.

Providing this audience with always-on display is a sure way to have a lot of people unhappy with burned-in OLED screens.


Yeah so pretty niche use case. No need to attack others with snarky childish comments just because you dont like reality out there

First of all I love snark

Second, it is not a fault of the device that consumers are brain dead, buying something they do not need and then whine about how the device is “useless”. It sucks to suck


What advertisement?

Codeweavers is literally the company behind Wine. Without them project would never reach point where it is now.

Codeweavers developers historically been authors of 2/3 (and likely even more in past) commits in Wine.


You can alao use NotebookLM's as source for Gemini app and ask it to do more in-depth summaries with custom prompting.

This somewhat makes whole NotrbookLM less useful, but still.


Its no surprise Chinese models will eventually win in a video generation race since they are far less censored and not affected by crazy copyright system.

It much easier to make Qwen animate tankman than it's to make any western model to generate indigenous people dancing because cough cough naked skin is baaaaad. Except this Musk one that will nonetheless affected by all the copyright mess.


Sorry if already been answered, but will there be a metric for latency aka time to first token?

Since I considered buying M3 Ultra and feel like it the most often discussed regarding using Apple hardware for runninh local LLMs. Where speed might be okay, but prompt processing can take ages.


Wait for the M5 Ultra. It will get the 4x prompt processing speeds from the rest of the M5 product line. I hear rumors it will be released this year.


Replacement port for M1 Air can be bought for around $10 off Amazon and installation take like 10 minutes for total newbie like me. All you need is right screwdriver.

Just look for a2337 usb-c port replacement.


On M1 there are still issues with wifi not recovering after sleep and for me its just disappear sometimes.

Something like Framework is more expensive thanks to RAM abd SSD shortage, but Linux support is so much better.


Funny you should say that since my framework intel 12th gen just started dropping wifi/bluetooth randomly and one cpu starts looking for it frantically in a loop almost bringing the laptop to a crawl (it's very likely a hardware issue and not a linux issue)


Not saying Framework is perfect, but I daily drive Asahi on Mac and its just rough all very over.

Dont get me wrong - Asahi is great undertaking and impressive work. Its just idea of buying hardware specifically to drive it is not rational.

There is a lot of hardware with more compkete and stable Linux support.


Good to know as I have long hesitated to get my hand on refurbished M1 before opting for the framework. On the good side I was able to replace a bent frame and a broken display for a reasonable price instead of having a useless sitting duck/wondering how to use a broken laptop


Not disagreeing with you, but US-controlled dictators have better track record of not killing thousands of protesters or just random people in own populations.

Not perfect option, but still is an improvement even from your positiom.


US supported Pinochet or the US supported military dictatorship in brasil would like to disagree


Agree. See also military dictatorships in South Korea and Taiwan. Many terrible years and brutal killings by the gov't. Both gov'ts were strongly supported by the US.


Two great examples of countries where US pressure had effectively transformed from dictatorships to democracies


Wow, I did not expect this type of reply. I reject it. In South Korea, there was incredible civil violence between protesters and police. I'm talking about stolen automatic weapons by protesters, then used against the police after decades of unchecked violence by the police against protesters. In hindsight, it looks like a low grade civil war. It was brutally hard and violent for South Korean to gain their democracy. (When you listen to South Korean boomers talk about how much their treasure and defend their new-found democracy, it will bring tears to your eyes. They really lived the violence and found democracy.) Taiwan needed the last dictator to die. Once his son took over, he quickly devised a plan to transition to an authentic democracy. (They had rigged election for years.) Still, they had 40 years of the "White Terror" where secret police kidnapped and murdered thousands of protesters.

Related: Indonesia also had a very violent transition into democracy, but the old dictators didn't kill as many innocent people as Taiwan or South Korea.

As I understand, the US had very little influence during the democracy transition of these three nations. Regarding Taiwan, the US provided security gurantees against mainland China, but did not interfere with the gov't. South Korea, similar security guarantee against the "Kimdom". Again, did not interfere with the gov't. Indonesia: Provided no security guarantee and did not interfere with the gov't.


I can only see the US insistence on many bad foreign decisions in the name of democracy done in the Middle East by multiple administrations, that without much knowledge of the situation in East Asia, I venture to guess it is not a coincidence that US allies turned into democracies

I also am not sure about Indonesia as an example of a US ally, I don't think it is similar to the other two

Effectively both SK and Taiwan were completely dependent on US for defense, I doubt this had no bearing


That's reserved for those lost 200,000* of personnel dead.

* Only verified number with real losses dead higher and even more crippled.

Now they need to compare it with Hunyuan 3D 3.0 or other SOTA 3D generator.

Obviously it's not spewing $10,000 3D models, but results are much better than what you would get for under $500 from a human 5 years ago.

So yeah you still need human art director to make sure actual source material used for generation fits your art style, but otherwise "good enough" models are 1000 times cheaper and 10000 times faster to get.


"5 years ago" - you may be right but this is also very debatable.

We've used Hunyuan 3D and while better than Trellis in most cases, it was no where near the type of quality we would and have gotten from a $500 human touch. This is within the last year. And I would very much argue that 5 years ago the $500 model would still win.


yea this 3d trellis 2 video tutorial blew my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-9P12OVqsg
