What if Steam launched on iOS? Especially with AI being able to decompile, it might actually more feasible in 2026 to thoroughly scan even fully compiled binaries

Exact same scenario here

I’ve heard a quantised version of flash next can fit in ~50 gb of vram (which needs a system level flag set to go over 48gb)

But the m1 cpu is itself a bottleneck on prefill compared to say an m5, there’s no real getting around it. And the 400mb/s bandwidth starts to hurt without MOE

Hoping these model optimisations can see us through to 2028 because for everything other than LLMs this hardware is still over specced and working incredibly well

There’s probably contractual guarantees in the enterprise plans. My understanding of the subscriptions is they can swap the models out if any of them is getting too heavily loaded for a period of time

Fable still better for planning, Astra faster overall but misses things. Maybe that’s behaviour not raw intelligence but it’s noticeable

Switching to Codex if their subscription includes 5.6 and Anthropic’s doesn’t include even some small quota of Fable. I’d be using local LLM’s if I didn’t want any access to frontier

House tax changes... strong yes

Share tax changes... ugh

My hope was cashed up bogans would start betting on shares instead of housing/crypto. At least it could be funnelled into something productive

Australia also has a 60 year productivity low and a government that is boosting taxes on capital gains on shares/business to basically a worldwide high. So take our experiments with a grain of salt!

It's frustrating that even brand new Unifi devices that claim to support IPv6 are actually pretty broken when you try to use it. So 10 years from right now even, unless they can software patch it upwards.

Banks remain with COBOL because it's unsexy and stable. And then they say... let's just YOLO some vibe code into the next release sight unseen! Logic checks out.

They also launched dummy satellites from the "pez dispenser", directly simulating the actual mission payload, about 4 months ago.

Lol thank you. Original as far as I know, most welcome to steal!

The trick is that the USA steps up the buy price of an asset when you pass away. So if you use cheap loans your whole life, you can defer capital tax until it goes away.

Instead of two certainties in life being death and taxes, it's now death or taxes.

How does that work in practice?

If you're bootstrapped, borrow a bunch of money to pay tax because your company got to $10M val. But then the market shifts and it goes back down to $0 in later years, do you get the money back?

Even if you do, it sounds weird taxing someone for the right to create something, especially when they're still in the middle of creating it.
