major possible risk, for tech savvy people: another walled garden, unless:
- openai will open the memory interface (why would they?)
- openai will allow other models (why would they?)
- openai will allow a neutral agent/procedural layer (wwt?)
Looking forward for the 1Password extension to work properly. Installation works, but the integration doesn't yet. Nice lean UI though, thanks to Chromium oc
Plus vscode is maintained by a company with thousands of devs. Obsidian is less than 10 people, which is amazing. About plugins why blame the product, pls check what you install on your machine instead
totally agree, chasing ultrathin designs has diminishing returns. There's so many practical ways to extend battery life such as letting users selectively dial down performance, adding a bit of extra thickness/weight, rethinking how power hungry features are scheduled... It's a matter of priorities, and Apple is obsessed with design (with dubious results, ie magic mouse charging port)
Based on what evidence that adding more battery necessarily makes it a pound?
Based on what precedent of mainstream phones ever approaching that weight?
Based on what teardown are you concluding the logic boards take up that much?
Based on what phone design history where removing cameras failed to free up meaningful space?
Around 2000-2005 there was a race for the smallest phone with ludicrously small displays. I believe Nokia was kind of leading and “winning” the race. Then blackberry and iPhone reversed trajectory and suddenly bigger was better, and Nokia died out.
I think we are on the same path here, thinner is not what I want. I want a powerhouse that can run AI for at least 48 hours on the worst conditions, a week at least in an ideal scenario.
My memory is from around 1998-1999 when I did some research to buy my first phone. From memory, I think that at that point Ericsson was winning that race in the more affordable end of the market, with models that I remember being smaller than Nokia models from the same time, such as:
In the end I realised that size was not the most important factor for me so instead I got a Motorola 8700 [1] which I didn't enjoy using, then sold it shortly after to get a Nokia 5110 [2] which I liked very much.
It wouldn’t weigh 4lbs if Apple invested on that research. Who really cares about this much thin phones really, Apple is out of ideas, far from revolutionary anymore. They have the hardware to run LLMs, they should invest on batteries and inference quality and consumption with SLMs, rather than delegate AI to Gemini and ChatGPT…
