Tbh I rarely use my meta glasses for AI because most of the time I don't want to ask out loud in public. So I just get my phone out and ask chatgpt or gemini. I think voice is doomed due to that as a UI

Why do people use numpy instead of sage?

Where was the number from? I received an impressive number of phonecalls attempt but thankfully I never answer to unknown numbers. With google call screen they hung up everytime so I assume its a scam.

I commuted in public transport my whole life until I moved to SF, saw a bunch of violence and mugging my first times riding the bus and decided to never ride the bus ever again here.

Its actually much easier to hold a folding phone! I often just use it in unfolded mode because it's so easy to hold

I couldn't even read your post because it doesn't make sense to me. Just go in a store and try the phone.

Google pixel folding is great quality, I think you're talking about the first gen folding phones.

In addition Apple would be happy if people started upgrading their phones more frequently.

The size: its a smaller phone that becomes a tablet on demand. It really is the best of both worlds

I switched from a lifetime of iPhones to an android phone last year, just because of folding phones. They are amazing and IMO the reason why Apple is going to have issues as these get cheaper (unless they release a folding phone too). Now that I have all this screen estate the current UI feels limiting often.

The same has happened on reddit a long time ago. Most users give up early because they get their forst posts (on any community) removed many times before they can manage (if they do manage) to post it. If the feedback loop was faster (you instantly get feedback on why the post doesn't go through) it would be better although you would already lose some users. The situation is so bad that I predict reddit is slowly dying already

My guess is that this is basically what AI providers are slowly moving to. And this is what models seem to be doing underneath the surface as well now with Mixture of Experts (MoE).

Agents are specialized via prompts and MCP now, and more and more rarely by model

Tbh I think the one general model approach is winning. People don't want to figure out which model is better at what unless its for a very specific task.

Why would they refer to Claude in second person?

I meant I wanted to run them synchronously in the same process :)

Been playing with MCP in the last few days and it's basically a more streamlined way to define tools/function calls.

That + the agent SDK of openAI makes creating agentic flow so easy.

On the other hand you're kinda forced to run these tools / MCP servers in their own process which makes no sense to me.

I couldn't play sim city because of that, the game would always throw insane natural disasters at me until I lost, I thought that was a very interesting way to mess with copies
