The strangest thing is that with Thunderbolt 4+ you could easily do this in software only I suppose?

Thats my setup - Mac Studio with two 32” monitors.

Would just be nice if I could buy the monitors from apple too.

I wish they would make big displays again. Like 32” big 6K.

24” or even 27” feels like such a downgrade.

Also please make the iMacs usable as external monitors agains. Would buy one as a “livingroom computer” instantly if it was also possible to occasionally use it as a docking station for an air..

I’m working with clients (big companies) that care a lot - but not because they have to. They care because they lost trust in non EU players.

what a broken ecosystem.. The crazy thing is not that the package exists, but that it is used by JS devs.

It's not what I say, it's what the numbers say.

The car industry is struggling - but the German economy is more than VW..

The real underlying issue is the economic pressure - much worse in East Germany than in West Germany. People have problems, but the real problems are not immigration or green politics.

IMO they explain it well here:

“Germany's economy will grow by 1.3% in 2026, RWI said, upwardly revising its forecast of 0.8% growth in June.”

I would want to know the pricing before I’d move anything there.

It should cost money - I just want to know how much.

Only a matter of time now until we can run models with Opus like capabilities on our own hardware.

This will probably when the bubble bursts..

New comment by JaggerJo in "Claude Fable 5"

JaggerJo — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:54:30 +0000

IMO we are reaching the point where AI models are simply a commodity. Opus (since ~4.6) is sufficient for everything I tried coding wise. I use it to write features (but I review and understand every line it spits out) and to review code.

For code review I also still review everything myself, but use Opus to catch stuff I missed and to judge if a PR is even ready for me to review.

After just updating Claude Code to the latest version I thought about picking Fable (the bigger model) instead of Opus.

But I have no reason to. Opus does everything I want it to do. It could do it faster - that would be an improvement. But for the normal stuff we reached the point where better models are not worth it IMO.

There still might be cases where you want to throw Fable at it.
