* global distributed caching of content. This reduces the static load on our servers and bandwidth usages to essentially 0, and since it is served at an end point closest to wherever the client is, they get less latency. This includes user logged in specifics as well.

* shared precached common libraries (ie. jquery, etc) for faster client load times

* Offers automated minification of JS, CSS, and HTML, along with image optimization (serve size and resolution of image specific to the device user is viewing it from) to increase speed

* always up mode (even if my server is down for some reason, I can continue to serve static content)

* detailed analytics and reporting on usage / visitors

There are a lot more, but those are a few that come to mind.

The pushback isn't that they use Anthropic, it is that you stated they used it "entirely", which is not true.

Yes Anthropic is a priority model in their ecosystem and they are deeply embedded with both tech and staff, but they are not the one as indicated and sourced in my reply above.

Thanks. Fixed.

>This isn't for people that really even care about performance. It's for people that want a laptop that works with their iPhone

That was my conclusion to my comment in my original. The title of "no other budget laptop can compete" is not just sensationalized, it is factually wrong. It should have been "the least expensive macbook yet comes with a catch"

“MacBook Neo is built on an iPhone chip—the A18 Pro. It’s far less capable of running intensive tasks than any of Apple’s M‑series chips or any moderately powered Intel or AMD processor.”

and that:

“It’s merely the right kind of performance for anybody who wants to browse the internet or stream video.”

...at this price point there are plenty of alternatives for laptops with better performance and specs.

For example, you can get a 15.6" Ryzen 7 5700U laptop with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD for less than the “unbeatable” price of the Neo:

https://www.amazon.com/NIAKUN-Computer-Processor-Graphics-Ke...

Or a 15.6" Intel Core i7‑1255U/12650H laptop with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD in a similar price range:

https://www.amazon.com/HP-Laptop-High-Performance-i7-1255U-4...

Both of these offer:

* A more traditional laptop CPU

* 2–4× the memory

* 2-4× the storage (1TB vs 256GB base on the Neo)

Standard HDMI/USB‑C video out for external displays

So I can definitely see the appeal of the Neo for people who just want an inexpensive way into macOS, but the claim that “no other budget laptop can compete.” doesn't track.

Maybe it should have been "The least expensive Macbook yet, but that comes with significant downsides."

"Audio-to-Sheet-Music: Upload or record audio, get accurate sheet music"

but the bot says:

"I can't process an MP3 for you right now, but I can totally help you generate some awesome classical piano sheet music! Just let me know if you'd like me to create some for you! "

Is this a future feature or is there another way I should be sending audio?

"Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7271 (Dev & Beta Channels)"

Secondly, they're preloading the executable resident in memory to accelerate click to open, similar to what Chrome Browser does on Windows (and websites when browsing)

I don't perceive this as "fixing bad performance, given explorer has never been slow to open for me, but rather further optimizing the experience.

2) In regards to inactive accounts, from Google's policy page:

>If you have never submitted an app for review and the account is more than one year old, it’s considered inactive.

>If you have apps, the account is considered inactive if it is more than one year old, all published apps have fewer than 1,000 combined lifetime installs, the required contact details are not verified, and you have not used Play Console in the last 180 days.

>Google sends warning emails at 60, 30, and 7 days before actual closure, allowing time to take corrective actions.

While you are correct that this would lose you access to the developer account, inactivity for a year and ignoring multiple warning messages over a 2 month period gives you an opportunity to weigh your options. It doesn't even require app updates, just activity in the Play console.

1) You can continue to install unsigned APKs via adb with the upcoming update.

2) Signing APKs for sideloading requires a Google development account which is a one time fee of $25, no yearly fees.

So still a free sideloading option available, and if you want to avoid adb it is a one time cost that is 1/4 the annual rate on Apple.

Alternatively, Perplexity Comet browser (or OpenAI Atlas) would presumably provide sidebar functionality to act within your spreadsheets.

"Dear Reddit community,

You might’ve read Perplexity was named in a lawsuit filed by Reddit this morning. We know companies usually dodge questions during lawsuits, but we’d rather be up front.

Perplexity believes this is a sad example of what happens when public data becomes a big part of a public company’s business model.

Selling access to training data is an increasingly important revenue stream for Reddit, especially now that model makers are cutting back on deals with Reddit or walking away completely. (A trend Reddit has acknowledged in recent earnings reports).

So, why sue Perplexity? Our guess: it’s about a show of force in Reddit’s training data negotiations with Google and OpenAI. (Perplexity doesn’t train foundation models!)

Here’s where we push back. Reddit told the press we ignored them when they asked about licensing. Untrue. Whenever anyone asks us about content licensing, we explain that Perplexity, as an application-layer company, does not train AI models on content. Never has. So it is impossible for us to sign a license agreement to do so.

A year ago, after explaining this, Reddit insisted we pay anyway, despite lawfully accessing Reddit data. Bowing to strong arm tactics just isn’t how we do business.

What does Perplexity actually do with Reddit content? We summarize Reddit discussions, and we cite Reddit threads in answers, just like people share links to posts here all the time. Perplexity invented citations in AI for two reasons: so that you can verify the accuracy of the AI-generated answers, and so you can follow the citation to learn more and expand your journey of curiosity.

And that’s what people use Perplexity for: journeys of curiosity and learning. When they visit Reddit to read your content it’s because they want to read it, and they read more than they would have from a Google search.

Reddit changed its mind this week on whether they want Perplexity users to find your public content on their journeys of learning. Reddit thinks that’s their right. But it is the opposite of an open internet.

In any case, we won’t be extorted, and we won’t help Reddit extort Google, even if they’re our (huge) competitor. Perplexity will play fair, but we won’t cave. And we won’t let bigger companies use us in shell games.

We’re here to keep helping people pursue wisdom of any kind, cite our sources, and always have more questions than answers. Thanks for reading.

Didn't Netflix use "GenAI" for upscaling of old TV shows not that long ago:

Herr is a Time article that provides a summary indicating Musk's confirmation.

https://time.com/7300282/elon-musk-new-political-party-ameri...

As the new party is in its infancy the details beyond that are limited, so it's the best roundup of what "for the 80%" in the middle would imply.

Looks like this was attempted prior as recent as 2022

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/27/forward-repu...

One caveat is that the intent of this party is not (initially?) to run a presidential candidate, but rather back individual Senators and Representatives.

>Backing a candidate for president is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate

>reduce debt, responsible spending only

>modernize military with ai/robotics

>pro tech, accelerate to win in ai

>less regulation across board but especially in energy

>free speech

>pro natalist

>centrist policies everywhere else

Obviously that last catch all bullet is where things get complicated.
