Worldwide smartphone shipments are expected to decline 14% ... the steepest annual contraction in smartphone history. Manufacturers focusing on selling fewer higher-end products, driven by elevated prices for RAM and transportation/fuel.
I am not sure RAM/fuel prices have much impact here. I have a phone that's about to get 3 generations behind latest one and comparing them side by side, I have 0 reasons to upgrade. Some specs are better, but not enough to notice in daily use.
From the article: "If I ask you to think through a problem you don’t think in symbols, numbers, or any other representation. You think in words, and therefore your ability to think relies on your ability to deploy words. "
Author hasn't done his homework. The belief thoughts = words has been well-debunked. The first hit from a lazy Google search is a Scientific American article all about it, helpfully titled 'You Don't Need Words to Think".

I've meditated on and off for years and, although it's pleasant, it sidesteps the real problem without actually addressing it. My conscious mind can be clear but a feeling of subconscious pressure remains, as though I'm in a shelter but I'm still aware of a storm outside that never stops trying to blow open the windows and doors.

This approach doesn't solve the root problem either, just avoids it, but it helps.
yes i agree. i currently feel i need safe zone to stop in and just think and process what i have done and how far i have come maybe a few months will do.
Ed Zitron draws conclusions from Microsoft's downscale of future data centers. Ed interprets this as MS losing faith in the future of AI but it could be a turn away from brute-force model size expansion and toward DeepSeek-style efficiency improvements.
