You check whether the engineering actually supports it. Usually, the answer is: sort of, but not really, and here’s a lot of attractive photography to help you not notice.The LiberNovo Maxis passed the filter.Not because it has an impressive feature list — it does, but that’s not the point.

My phone is the last thing I look at before bed.I know. I know.But the ritual is more specific than doomscrolling. It’s the audio. White noise, sleep playlists, ambient sound that slows my brain down after a full day. The problem is that getting the audio requires the phone — and having the phone nearby means notifications, screen glow, the gravitational pull of one more scroll before I actually close my eyes.It’s a cycle most people are in and genuinely can’t break, not because they lack willpower, but because the device that holds the solution is the same device causing…

A new research paper suggests the industry may be approaching the context problem from the wrong direction. While most methods give models access to more information, the researchers argue that intelligently reducing context may be a more scalable and efficient solution. Their work points to a potential breakthrough in…
