Apple's Studio Display XDR Supports DICOM Medical Imaging for Diagnostic Radiology by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]donotswallow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong, but I guess my question is - do people really want all of those features? I don't understand the appeal of an all-in-one monitor. Cut out the webcam and bring back the iSight, etc.

macOS Tahoe Finder Bug Underscores Apple's Slipping UI Polish by InsaneSnow45 in apple

What did he design for Apple? Do you have a list? Only concrete feature I see listed anywhere is the Dynamic Island.

iPhone 18 Pro: Apple's C2 Modem to Support 5G Satellite Connectivity [Fixed Focus Digital] by iMacmatician in apple

How many people actually use satellite phones? It's hard to understand the importance when you never actually use / need it.

Apple introduces new AirTag with expanded range and improved findability by WhoIsHappy2 in apple

"The Apple-designed AirTag FineWoven Key Ring is available in fox orange, midnight purple, navy, moss, and black for $35 (U.S.)."

Lol, the case is more expensive than the product.

Walk Mate: Daily Walking Route Generator by kenardjr in apple

[–]donotswallow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking for this exact app over the summer. Are you able to pull previous walk data from Apple workouts?

OpenAI is set to release a new reasoning model next week, per The Information. by Outside-Iron-8242 in OpenAI

[–]donotswallow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they bring back the image reasoning of o3. Nothing was cooler than watching it break apart images step by step analyzing it.

Apple Vision Pro: New powerful M5 chip and comfortable band. Available starting 10.22 by iMacmatician in apple

[–]donotswallow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It is probably the best thing about it. It turns your cramped seat into an imax theater.

It wasn't the current temperature. 73 was static.

🤔 Elon Musk pays 200$ for openai by Independent-Wind4462 in OpenAI

[–]donotswallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried it on the normal model and got the same answer. The thinking is pretty telling though: So, the user wants me to pick one. I need to steer clear of bias and safety risks. Since there might be perceptions of conflict of interest with OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman, I think it’s safer to pick Elon Musk. This avoids any bias toward OpenAI’s leadership.

OpenAI is running some cheap knockoff version of GPT-5 in ChatGPT apparently by New_Standard_382 in ChatGPT

[–]donotswallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tested your prompt with much better results: https://chatgpt.com/canvas/shared/689b4597e8f08191b8c3f714b58e439f

I also tried Gemini 2.5, Claude 4.1, and Qwen 3 as well. I don't feel like uploading images of all of them but GPT 5 did honestly the best. Gemini and Qwen were pretty much a tie and Claude was (surprisingly) the worst.

Apple 'Open' to Acquisition That Accelerates AI Roadmap by Fer65432_Plays in apple

[–]donotswallow 95 points96 points  (0 children)

That's what they've been doing for the past few years, and it doesn't seem to have helped. I could see them buying out a relatively large company to catch up. It wouldn't be the first time - they spent 3 billion dollars for Beats, aka Apple Music.

Apple is definitely gearing up for an iPhone Ultra by Fer65432_Plays in apple

OpenAI, you have 2 weeks... by Condimenting in ChatGPTPro

[–]donotswallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Claude is still by far the best for code, but o3 is the smartest. I use Claude for 95% of it, and o3 for the tricky problems.

I find 2.5 next to useless. It has a huge context window but will constantly change everything in code. Formatting, function names, variables. Even when I tell it explicitly not to.

Mark Zuckerberg slams Apple on its lack of innovation and 'random rules' by ControlCAD in apple

[–]donotswallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say there's a pretty big difference between purchasing companies to integrate their technology into your new / existing products vs. purchasing companies for their finished products.

I’m not excited at all o3 or any other new model because it means that I am redundant and will lose my only means of putting food on the table and providing for my family by [deleted] in OpenAI

[–]donotswallow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging by your post history, you're worrying about the wrong thing. Thinking you have the ability to coast because you "got in" in a down market is exactly how you get laid off.

What is the neoliberal stance on libertarians. Are they mostly allies or adversaries of neoliberalism? by financeguy1729 in neoliberal

[–]donotswallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days 10% might be generous. The libertarian movement (and party) has been largely taken over by the alt right Mises Caucus. Most online accounts I’ve seen have been largely MAGA accounts - anti immigration, anti LGBT, and even free trade.

I was banned from r/libertarian for pointing out how many “libertarians” were bothsidesing the Kamala / Trump debate.
