Are you claiming the corn would still be sweet? Citation needed.

Agreed, but tbh even after reading the article I’m left scratching my head about the exact type of journalism on display here. The Verge is just going around eliciting hot takes from mathematicians who are completely overwhelmed with this drop - only 40% formalized in Lean and three retractions in only a few days.

The math community doesn’t know what to make of it, the verge doesn’t either but they feel the need to report something… so they’re pressuring for comments when the only reasonable thing to do is to keep your head down and read more until you parse wtf it is this unknown model with an unknown prompt produced for an unknown field of mathematics with almost no apparent explanation or fleshed out ideas on how this could apply to current knowledge or problems.

So calling it slop, at least for the time being seems at least somewhat reasonable. Though some claimed that there were 10s of interesting papers among the 700.

Their point was made clear to everyone else

In practice how does that work?

Let’s say they have replacement phone batteries that cost them $20 to make, does the EU limit their profit margins? Do they investigate to make sure it isn’t excessive? If the company tries to sell it for $50, is that too much?

Even then, Apple maliciously complied. They put shit speed usb-c, (maybe 2.0?) on all but the highest most expensive model.

You’re basically describing any of the electronic style coffee machines, good luck repairing a vendor lock-in optimized keurig or nespresso machine that scans your pods to validate their IDs before brewing.

Trivial is a strong word, but sure it’s trivial during static analysis. This is dynamic analysis and it’s a different beast.

That’s my initial reaction too.

K bro

Translation: you made shit up and can’t find any source to back up your world view

Node size wasn’t one of the metrics I was comparing so love to see some benchmarks to prove this gap isn’t as bad as I was aware…

The real reason I won’t buy one - despite wanting one really badly - is that Apple silicon is just too good. The gap between the battery life, performance and efficiency over x86 continues to widen.

Check out your local 2nd hand listings. You might get lucky with someone selling a used one at half price. At which point their lack of ram or storage becomes a much more palatable upgrade problem rather than a deal breaker.

Does anyone else think that’s a lot of servers for a grocery store?

That’s just v1. At some point they’ll realize that bots can deepfake a human waving and they’re going to want to truly verify it’s you by verifying the position of moles on your body… Then they’ll have to save your data… to secure your account!

Soon they’ll realize to get good mole data they’ll need you to show more skin, as some people don’t have much on their face and their clothing could be hiding those juicy datapoints.

That’s when v2 hits. Flash google your titties to secure your account, don’t worry it’s super secure and we never share your titties with law enforcement agencies unless it’s required by law!

You’ll be walking through your local library because tech has gone to far and you need to unplug but as you walk by the rows of shared computers it’ll all be old people flashing their titties at the screen to continue watching ads on YouTube.

There’s all kinds of red flags that Donut put out, but I disagree that motorcycles were one of them. There were plenty of people like me watching it that thought electric motorcycles were a brilliant first use of the supposed tech breakthrough -semi trucks would be an excellent choice too - and took that as a green flag. It’s really not as random as you think.

Cars got electrified, nobody in 2026 looks at the EV industries success and thinks “what a bad idea”, and plenty of motorcycle companies are like, “we could do that too” but then look into the physics and realize they could only do it badly. The first ones to market that do it well when new battery tech comes out will make a fortune, so it didn’t surprise me in the least that if a magical battery with all the pros and non of the cons got released someone would make electric motorcycles with it on day 1.

That being said, if you live in the west and drive an SUV and your view is that they are dangerous toys for teens and criminals then ya I get why you think it’s equivalent to cold fusion being used in a fridge. The rest of the world, esp Asia leverages motorcycles and scooters like primary transportation devices and they sell like hotcakes.

You actually might. Motorcycles are a perfect use case for an energy dense battery technology because current ones are simply too heavy with not enough range to make them viable.

Why all the effort though? Can’t people use their website on mobile?

Trans frogs is hilarious first of all. Secondly I thing even the most unhinged nutjobs only ever used trans frogs as a symptom not a cause. Trans frogs causing autism is the equivalent of such a deranged reversal of cause and effect as to be comparable to Covid causing 5G.

Anyways, I agree. I think parents want a scapegoat for why they find their kid to be “cringey” when speaking to their peers and Autism (effect) and vaccine (cause) provide pseudo medical rationales.

I disagree, I think the anecdote of an adult over 30 years of age being diagnosed is a fair example of under-diagnosis. And since your comment was more on the over-diagnosis side, I think it’s fair to point out. That the visibility and lowered stigma contribute to the over-diagnosing. It can’t be helped. Medical professionals are subject to the same biases of visibility that the rest of us are, even if they should know better.

Also some patients are certainly self-diagnosing based on freely available information, be it valid or not, and sharing their diagnosis as if it was a real one. When others encounter these claims, their instinct typically isn’t to argue or accuse someone of being a fake autist so they update their own mental models with a “this is what autism looks like” and the trend continues.
