agreed. with what have currently now with LLMs , from my basic understanding it couldn’t ever be up to scratch. maybe some other methods and techniques of AI might be developed and will be able to, idk. as far as I’m concerned the sci-fi AI some want is still going to be science fiction atm

Thanks. As an ESL, somehow I never come across that short form despite being online as a teenager since the 00s.

How do I read “lgtm”? Legitimate?

Pretty much the same way “AI” i.e. artificial intelligence as a whole has been tainted. Even something as inane as character behaviors in a video game, enemy AI, you have to put up signs and shit it’s not about genAI. Let alone talking about using AI in more serious manner like scientific research.

Psycho-Pass mentioned!

I thought of Total Recall first, but yeah Psycho-Pass fits here as well

Edit: wrong sci-fi. Minority Report

Innocent even proven guilty

Muskoid will. It feels like it’ll feed his ego more than zuck, and will fight for it. zuck just feels like some alien. so if he’s buying dumped and ran reddit, it’s for the data. musk is a creepy pedo that even other pedos found creepy.

I’m refering to the flip models. I forgot if Huawei still makes them, but Google definitely doesn’t

And the Motorola RAZRs

I’m guessing Apple couldn’t really go nab engineers or use designs from the Chinese brands that also have done folding screens for a while. And I’m guessing Samsung wouldn’t want to give them without eating too much into Apple’s margins.

That’s a lot of assumptions on my part though, and you know how that goes.

Yeah, I would have thought that Apple would have gone to one of the few manufacturers that have done the engineering for them. There’s a few Chinese brands that have been doing it for years, as well as Samsung. The latter have almost a decade of experience making them now.

But I guess with the current US regime, Apple doesn’t have much choice.

I thought the first Motorola with grapheneOS have been confirmed and it’s not a flip form factor. And it’s flagship. This caused a lot of jimmies rustled. I understand why, because Motorola is more known for their budget offering, but I also have seen why it has to be flagship because there are hardware stuff that’s needed by grapheneOS.

The Pixels having the proper security hardware on their poor performing on benchmarks SoC seems more like a happy coincidence to me. I’m happy to be politely corrected.

And the G7 and G8 before the Velvet.

In fact LG was one of the few ones to try the dual screen phones. For them, it’s via add-on cases. Then there’s the Microsoft Surface phones. But then you have no choice because it’s always attached. They’re more like prototype current foldable phones though.

I really miss my LG Wing. The USB port went out first and I used to charge it only with wireless charging for a few months but that’s just not viable for longevity. No shop around here wants to take a crack at repairing it for me.

Genuinely the second small screen is so useful. I can have my navigation and music player on screens and not muck about as much. I can list more but now I’m ashamed as most of what I use both for are for media consumption lol

To me, it’s the aspect ratio of the screens.

This passport style ratio is what I want from such a device because that’s how all paper looks like in my country. We use the ISO paper standard being A sizes. They’re like the Goldilocks shape for books and media. Modern smartphones right now is closer to cinematic ratio of 21:9, but most TV content are still 16:9. Letter boxing is at the left and right side and I somehow dislike this.

This more bookish shape puts the letter box on top and bottom and somehow that’s more preferable for me.

It also fits a lot better with papers and documents as A4 paper size is proportional to the passport ratio.

I’m going by the assumption that the duo is following the ISO paper ratio though. IIRC the Samsung fold 8 outer screen does follow it, but due to engineering the inner bigger screen is 4:3, which is not ISO paper ratio, but close enough.

All this to say that a 7.6" screen with a 20:9 aspect ratio will not fit the same way with a 1:1.4 ratio for non progressive web content. And I prefer the latter.

Hmm, with some kind of border for the top screen to hide the black bars when playing DS, it might seem quite good. maybe the borders can even be fake speakers to make it look more like the DS top panel lol.

There is a criminal lack of electric minivans on the market today,

Yes please, we need more of these, especially with slid8ng passenger doors. I’m embracing my unc status and wanting a family car even before having my own family.

I am convinced of the minivan (mini MPV) supremacy.

Luckily (?) the country I’m living in there’s a few options from Chinese brands but they all emulate the high end fridge on wheels vellfires or alphards.

if he even have friends at the Epstein club. it’s still funny to me in one of the many emails Epstein and a few others think Musk is a slimy creep even for their standards lol

Google-fu is now duckduck-fu. Honestly I still feel DDG now is still not in par with google circa 2015-2020*

*I’m pulling this out if my ass; I already don’t remember when’s the last time google search is good. Please send help :(

Oh it’s like that shoe company declaring they are an AI company.
