@AndrewBTC I wonder how much the neighbors dislike the guy with the Indiana flag.

What about the math for Apple, Meta, Google, etc. where the people erasing whiteboards, taking pictures of them, and sending those pictures out along with detailed meeting notes are making $250k+/year? Imagine how much money a large tech company is paying their employees to interact with whiteboards 🤯

What do you mean by "chassis"? The part of the laptop that houses battery, keyboard, logic boards, etc.?

If so, the answer is multi-faceted. You could physically put the FaceID sensor there, but there are a lot of questions you'd need to answer, for example:

1. Is there enough room internally where we want to put it?
2. Will the sensor work from that angle?
3. How dirty will it get there? What level of occlusion causes it to fail?
4. Will it look good or will it just look like a random little window on otherwise uninterrupted aluminum?
5. Is TouchID sufficient? Can it be where the TouchID sensor goes? Will people mistake it for TouchID and keep touching it? Do you have FaceID and TouchID?

There are other questions around function, cosmetics, integration, reliability, etc. that would have to be taken into consideration.

I'm sure it's been discussed ad nauseam internally and a solution that satisfies the above questions + more is not satisfactory. The "Apple solution" is miniaturize it such that you can put it next to the camera and I'd be inclined to think they'll wait until they can do that.

same reason you can't put your whole hand in your mouth

Either FaceID module needs to get smaller or MBP display needs to get thicker.

Not saying it's impossible, but it isn't trivial and given FaceID went from iPhone to iPad, I'd bet they're trying to fit it into Macs too.

@AnthropicAI How about a weekly limit reset as a goodwill gesture for those sitting at 94% (totally not me, a friend of mine).

@bnemehh @garrytan Following!

@bnemehh I think it was @garrytan that said some of the best YC companies are the ones that fulfill a need for other YC companies. Imagine how many of these little bots you could sell to startups and companies of all sizes.

@mattepstein Didn't Google release something free that does what Wispr Flow does and isn't iOS27 going to have that feature natively now?

@markgurman I wonder if the M7 line-up has something that alleviates memory costs that the M6 doesn't.

[hiva @h1vae]

@claudeai update?

[hiva @h1vae]

@thatguybg I'm a bit confused looking at it. Is this a prompt for a single item? Multiple items?

[hiva @h1vae]

@MartinGTobias Taste.

@farzyness @mcuban Not a bad idea if it makes financial sense.

@cwkdotone @ryanbrewer Best use of this meme I've ever seen.

@justalexoki I had to take a 3 day lunch this past week 🥴

@oscarlehuu Why assume an alliance when it could also be described as competitive pressure and/or gamesmanship?
