Weeks of @FastCompany testing several #ios26 betas on #iphone models like the SE2 (plus results from other, expert, testers) show it should run well on even the oldest supported models. @Apple #ios26beta #ios26publicbeta #iphones #iphone11 #iphoneSE #ios fastcompany.com/91371705/is-it…

Nvidia just released a $249 computer that will change AI forever. It's called the Jetson Nano - a tiny device that can run AI models locally. This means AI can run without connecting to the cloud. And it's about to spark the biggest tech battle of our time:

Clearly someone needs to try this at scale – pick 1000 published scientific papers at random, ask o1 or o1-pro to look for errors, and see what turns up. I'm going to give it a shot. Anyone interested in helping out? (Incidentally, h/t @gibbnicholas for also noticing that o1-pro

Given the hourly rate, it looks like this @Forbes gig is a case where they don't expect the reporter to know a lot about the beat.

A year ago, @robpegoraro busted myths around "shrink" (lost and stolen products) at retail in his @worthmag article. Today, @Bloomberg caught onto that in very interesting piece (Retailers Locked Up Their Products—and Broke Shopping in America). worth.com/how-urban-reta…

I'd like to see @FastCompany - and other publications - better label opinion pieces. The tiny "POV" in gray text after the dateline was hard to even notice. Controversy over how quote was presented also didn't help.

Are there any conservative/libertarian/just not-progressive tech workers left? I suspect so, but they are hard to find. Fast Company would like to hear from you. DM's anonymous. Thanks!
