Comment Obvious this was going to be a success (Score 1) 129

A lot of people want a Mac because they have a nice form factor and they work in the Apple ecosystem. Macbooks were a bit expensive. It's obvious that an iPad masquerading as a Macbook was going to work, because a lot of people like a proper keyboard and don't need touchscreen. Macbook Neo fits a perfect niche. I'm not surprised by its success, I'm just surprised that Apple are. I'm stunned their business case didn't imagine bigger volume. Why buy a more expensive Macbook for basic admin, web browsing, and streaming?

LLMs don't actually know their own capabilities.The description of what they *should* do is baked into the training data, but this doesn't always correlate with their actual abilities. Sometimes they can do things and not even know, and they can't tell if tools they should have are being disabled in some way. For example, Qwen 3.5 is a vision-capable model, but enabling vision in llama.cpp requires loading an additional file with the --mmproj parameter. The model will think it has vision enabled whether the extra file is loaded or not.

Why is the compter the problem ? It seem pretty obvious that the issue lies in the curriculum and how the tools are used. Educators figured that just having a computer would promote learning...they were wrong. Now the same educators are convinced that just having books will promote learning...again they are wrong. Modern education has become indoctrination and lacks critical thinking tools because that would enable the students to realize what a shit sandwich they were being fed.
