Inside Vi: An AI Organism Built Without a Rented LLM

Vi is an experiment against rented minds. Numpy tissue. A C++ Broca is the only thing allowed to speak. Memory is not a context window. Routing is scores. Speech is Broca. “Should I?” compares two live numbers — curiosity against pain — not a cutoff the author liked that morning.

iPhone Handoff will seamlessly share one number between two phones

When iOS 27 lands later this month, it will have a feature called iPhone Handoff that lets you switch between two phones using the same number. It was briefly mentioned during the WWDC keynote back in June, but there were no details at the time. Now there's a demo clip showing how to set up the feature running in Xcode 27's Device Hub. It lets you pair two iPhones, using one as your main device and the other as its "companion." Launching the feature now makes sense with the expected launch of the foldable iPhone Ultra right around the corner. People might not always want to take a chunky and extremely expensive device out with them. So Han … Read the full story at The Verge.

Agent orchestration is so two years ago

RugOne's Xsnap 7 Pro comes with both an IP68 and IP69K rating, meaning the rugged phone can survive intense water blasts and complete submersion for up to 30 minutes. But what really sets the Xsnap 7 Pro apart from everything else on the market is that one of its three rear cameras can be removed and used as a standalone action cam.
