I virtualized a bunch and they seem to work well. At one point, I even had Ultima running on one. =D

I went from a 13 Pro to 17 Pro and the battery life has been great.

You could do the leasing route if you upgrade every year. Might pinch less.

I was quite surprised to see the under display camera. Wasn't expecting that.

Other than that, looks like there are some nice Duo specific features on iOS. $1999 is also surprising given that news outlets were reporting up to $2500. Plus it's price competitive with other foldables in the market.

Seems interesting but I would like a laser version of this. Not ever going back to inkjet.

I do not think this is the right way. The right way would be for Apple to allow for a free Developer ID for distribution if the app is free and has no in-app purchases.

This provides IMO all-around goodwill while still adhering to good release practices.

Saw this in an another thread previously and immediately installed it.

I have a new prompt to test LLMs much like simonw's pelican test.

"What is 9:30am Taiwan time in US, Pacific?" For some reason, the answers are quite inconsistent but all wrong.

  ./apfel "what is 9:30am Taiwan time in US, Pacific?"
  Taiwan is 12 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM Taiwan time would be 9:30 PM Pacific Time.
  Taiwan is 13 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 10:30 PM in the Pacific Time Zone.
  Taiwan is in the China Standard Time (CST) zone, which is 12 hours ahead of the Pacific Standard Time (PST) zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 9:30 PM in the Pacific.
  Taiwan is typically 11 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 8:30 PM in the Pacific Time Zone.
  Taiwan is 13 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 10:30 PM the previous day in the Pacific Time Zone.

One thing I discovered tonight is that it appears smaller models are remarkably bad at converting time between timezones.

I tested the following using almost all available models on Locally and did not get a single model that got the right answer.

"What is 9:30 am (Taiwan Standard Time, TST) in US Pacific?"
