Komsan Jandamit, Published on 11/09/2025
» The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been out on Thai markets for about 2 months and has remained as one of the thinnest and most premium folding phones at the present. But competition has been fierce, with many Chinese phone companies releasing their top-of-the-line folding phones just lately, how is it holding up compared other folding phones in 2025?
AI will overpromise and underdeliver
Life, James Hein, Published on 27/08/2025
» Let's start with a few brief comments on the current state of artificial intelligence. Specially targeted and trained AI models are improving. These are things like detecting something in an X-ray or hunting for potential chemical candidates for a compound to attack a specific condition. Generating pictures and videos is also improving rapidly, and by the end of the year the majority of people will not be able to tell the difference between the real thing and the AI fake. Large Language Models are still unpredictable and can give false or fake answers depending on the structure of the prompts, so be careful with the answer you get from these. The current corporate buy-in for AI is well beyond what it can deliver. This is driven by marketing, not the actual state of capabilities. My prediction is there will be a lot of out-of-pocket organisations of all types disappointed by results.

All too familiar
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 27/06/2025
» With the premise of a dysfunctional family in a small coastal town entangled in criminal dealings under the guise of protecting their legacy, The Waterfront, Netflix's new original series, tries to blend slow-burn crime drama with bursts of action and emotional intensity. Across eight episodes, however, the show struggles to distinguish itself from a growing list of similarly themed dramas, despite its efforts to offer gritty realism and familial tension.

Microsoft's quantum conundrum
Life, James Hein, Published on 12/03/2025
» If you've been keeping up with quantum computer news, you will have seen the Microsoft Marketing announcement on topological q-bits and a potential quantum computer in a few years. I was planning to write about this in some detail, but it turns out the reality may not meet the marketing. Surprising, I know, but the announcement implying Microsoft has q-bit technology ready to go and scale is speculative. They don't have any physical models, just some tests and a theory that has already been challenged by the physics community. It will take a while to go through all the published data, but the Microsoft quantum computer could be decades, not years, in the future, if ever.
