Just a guess but maybe they decided 5.1 wasn't their last Opus model. Like they would keep developing new versions of it or something.

Crazy!

This reminds me. I've always been confused by how comic book writers/artists choose when to use which words to put in bold. It's often not what I would have expected and sounds funny if read aloud that way.

The language here means that signers are affirming that they continue to write at least some code by hand, not that they never use AI tools for coding. I'm not sure that's enough virtue to deserve its own signal.

edit to add: the irony of the grammatical error in this presumably hand-written sentence inside the "Who's behind this?" link:

> Jared’s web studio Whitefusion is currently partnering with quality businesses & organizations which believe in staying away from costly hype cycles and the value of the human touch.

Someone should assemble a chain of iPhone camera review comparison images published over the years, 18 → 17, 17 → 16, 16 → 15 etc. showing how each year's new phone being so much better than the previous year's somehow becomes perceivably bad next to the next year's phone.

Youtuber Marques Brownlee did this (as a short). It's actually not so noticeable, it's only once you get to the very oldest phones that it's visibly worse.

the difference will be in things like low-light, telephoto lenses, video capability, HDR, and lots of other things that don't show up in most photos (including that one)

It'd be much better if this test was done in low light. The tiny sensors in iphones work fine when there's plenty of light around. The real test is how well they do when the you aren't sitting in the sun.

Indeed, I found the oil-painting effect really rough on certain year iphones in low light/when using one of the zoom lenses.

Only iPhone 4 sticks out, 1 through 17 are all fine.

And it sort of reach a plateau where for normal consumer it doesn't matter much other than zoom. Which is important to a certain extend.

I wish there is some tech in the pipeline, that in the next 5 - 10 years we could get decent pictures quality without the huge bump.


The iPhone 1 doesn't look THAT bad to me. Also I wonder if its worth 13.6 thousand ($13,600) in phone upgrades over the years?

I'd suspect the average person won't notice much difference (on the main lens) until about iPhone 11 or older, with still photos. Computational image processing does a TON of heavy lifting with these tiny sensors.

With video OTOH, the improvements are much more noticeable. I also suspect that is why Apple focuses so much on video as its a harder problem to solve and so much easier to differentiate your hardware from competitors.


Could you provide at least one review to support that claim?

Yeah but its also quite trivial to give them credit

Well, countries have experienced moderate inflation and moderate deflation, ask the ones who lived through both which one they preferred.

Moderate deflation is fine, it's good even. But only as long as nominal GDP stays stable.

See the so called 'Long Depression' in the 19th century. Which was only a depression of the price level, everything else did well.

For a more sectoral example, see how computer hardware used to get cheaper and cheaper all the time, but total spending on hardware went up.



We can have these micro easter eggs clearly indicating that flawed humans were involved, or we can have perfectly proofread Opusplaining. Enjoy the former while you can!

Is there any hint that Siri can be connected to arbitrary MCP providers?

What's funny is that, being a claude code user, I don't need to give someone else's python package a 24/7 back door into all my activity, I can just make my own.


You're the first person I see that only has Claude Code and a Browser installed, grats on the hygiene!


How does the planet run out of water?


> How does the planet run out of water?

By draining aquifers, for one:

* https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06879-8

* https://unu.edu/inweh/news/world-enters-era-of-global-water-...

Certain desalination exists, but can get expensive and energy-intensive (and they it may be necessary to transport the fresh water great distances).


OK I see, thank you. The idea of "the planet running out of water" confused me.
