Yes, it works, I guess, but it's not a nice experience if you don't have their trackpad and keyboard accessory. I know my husband, who uses it for only drawing, is constantly getting tripped up with properly splitting two apps side by side. It's not horrible, but it's certainly not great either. And I do feel like this is only going to keep happening as Apple puts more and more powerful chips in the things, especially because everyone worth their weight in salt in the Apple space knows that they'll NEVER merge the two. I could be wrong, but I'm not.

Gemini Intelligence! Will wonders ever cease?
Edit: Granted, the general user experience on both tablet products isn't great, but I still think the iPad just wins on love and app support. Although that window is closing

Unvault Destiny 2 content, make it better, empower Marathon to be more of a survival experience, putting teams closer to actual development... yeah, loving both of these games, I'm willing to give them another shot. This is really exciting.

There's no screen door effect. That's the benchmark, and they hit it out of the park. It looks and feels incredible.

Like, sure, okay, in an ideal world, yes. We all agree to take a chill pill and stop trying to invent Mecha-Jesus and/or -Hitler. Fine.
But in the world we actually live, what is a moratorium going to do except hand market dominance and advantage over to the biggest perceived "antagonist" (from a western perspective), China? If the goal is to make sure AI doesn't "get out of hand", why are they shooting themselves in the foot and say "you know what, we'll stop" while everyone outside of America will continue their research, potentially even lapping America in the process?
Why would China, Europe, South East Asia or anyone not the United States for that matter listen to their ask? Cause this sounds a lot like being on the F1 track and saying "guys, we might crash into the walls, so we all better slow down. Can we all slow down? I'll start" and then plummeting, predictably, to the bottom of the leaderboard. [1]
Unless, of course, El Yudkowsky becomes secretary of defense and starts bombing everyone who owns a high performance GPU (lmao).
[1]: Not that the "leaderboard" matters, per se, but the AI industry is propping up a significant amount of the economy right now, so when not if that bubble pops, there's gonna be a lot of people losing their homes.

They even gave me $5 in API credits, which, with this pricing, I suspect will run out once Captain Kirk is born.
They're also on OpenRouter if you don't want to deal with their own platform.

Comment on Typesafe AI: System One Models and Jev in ~tech
delphi (edited )LinkThis new-ish startup Typesafe AI has just released Jev, their first "System One" model. In short, whereas a traditional LLM outputs text (sometimes even structured text), it's just that. System...After two years in stealth, countless technical challenges, and research breakthroughs… I am beyond excited to announce that today, TypeSafe AI is releasing our first System One Model: a new class of frontier models built to make fast, structured decisions that software can use directly.
We built a new stack entirely focused on automation: with a new model architecture, parallel sampler for maximum efficiency, and training method we call Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions (RLCD).
Our first public model is Jev, available today in early access. Jev achieves similar levels of intelligence on System One tasks compared to existing LLMs, while being two orders of magnitude faster and more efficient. While Jev gives up string generation, it’s optimized for structured outputs and can’t hallucinate.
Think of Jev as a frontier-intelligence function call: unstructured state in, typed probabilistic decisions out.
This new-ish startup Typesafe AI has just released Jev, their first "System One" model. In short, whereas a traditional LLM outputs text (sometimes even structured text), it's just that. System One models always output structured "result" data. You ask it a question, and it evaluates it based on the possible answers you've given, a number, or a boolean value.
I run a pet project that scrapes publicly available government databases. I vibe-coded this together because the official and sanctioned way to search those databases is hateful, but it's Open Data, so I figured why not. After back-crawling for days at reasonable rates I have around 50000 documents, all in dense legalese. OCRing and summarisation only gets you so far, and there's always information that a summarisation alone can't give you, like more structured semi-metadata. [1]
I have however been integrating Jev into the system to determine locations, mainly. I feed it text, and it tells me if it contains an actual place or address, or is just a stand in. The difference between "high street" or "broadway" and literal "High Street" and "Broadway" so these do not pollute my map views. It's been essentially free, very fast and very good.
On a more related note: I am very glad to see a generally good AI model come out that out right refuses to create slop because it can't. Incredibly fast (and from my experience, accurate) classification, even faster and cheaper than some purpose-built models, is really great to see.
[1]: I consider "semi-metadata" to be data about any given document that is implicitly derived from the content, as opposed to explicitly (data) and not at all (metadata). It's stuff like... tone of the document. Subject, location, all stuff that isn't explicitly in a field in the document, but isn't in the frontmatter either.

Comment on Billing for web hosting in ~comp

Incredibly convenient if you have an app that uses WASM binaries.Even then, I think the limit for assets you can upload to static projects is 25 MB per file or something. Really very generous.

(Receipts here, btw. The drop off you see is me switching frameworks and no longer outputting chunked JS, which required multiple requests per page, so while that doesn't translate to clicks, 34M Requests was accurate for my strongest month. Cloudflare doesn't allow me to go that far back on the free tier, though)

I would have been really surprised if they had added hosted models (Who's gonna work with them? OpenAI?) or local models (How will you make sure this runs on everyone's computer?). [1]
This seems to me like a decision made out of convenience, and banking on the fact that people praise this decision because they don't know how much work delivering any "AI experience" actually is. I'm still of the firm opinion that if you must make your app AI-native or whatever, you do it by offering formal, safe APIs that machines can use just as well as humans.
[1]: Not to mention that I have near-zero confidence in the LibreOffice people to deliver a good user experience, even with the best of AI models, but what else is new

You register the domain at cost, it's got an excellent developer experience, and any and all static hosting is completely free. I use this. I run a web app that compiles to static sites and have over 34 million requests a month, and I haven't paid a single cent, apart from the ten-or so dollars for the domain name.

I think it's fun, and I can't wait to play with an iPhone that's not a candy bar for once.
You can, I'm not saying you can't, but it's obviously the intended experience. It's what's on all the marketing materials, certainly.
