At 1,399 USD I don't know what you were thinking. 🫩 700-800 should have been your target. Cool device but prices out of the hands of so many people.

New_sight9 months ago

So almost the same price? Lol what? I saw it i loved it and i though yeah probably like 700€ .. yeah i was wrong lol

TheThreeHeadedMonkey9 months ago

1400 is way to high for this to be a good deal. I understand that prices of components have gone up but the price jump to a new QC is not big and you get more buttons and its not that much bigger. I 100% agree it would be way better below 1k

AAsgore9 months ago

Ppl complaining about the price are forgetting something, it's as powerful as the QC. Not a less powerful device, the same power, just smaller, so obviously the price will be high. It's still high value software and yes high value products are expensives

Ok this year is going to be awesome!!!

Rinzero9 months ago

Was excited, until I saw the price. Why not get just the original one for slightly more? I would have expected this for 800.

Introducing Neural Capture Version 2 on CorOS 3.3.0 and NanOS 2.2.0 - available now! Neural Capture Version 2 is a new cloud-trained version of Neural Capture that delivers higher resolution, greater realism, and improved dynamic response. By shifting the training process to Cortex Cloud, Capture V2 uses a more advanced algorithm that can model complex analog behavior beyond what is possible with on-device processing. Capture V2 brings major improvements to devices that rely heavily on touch and dynamics. These devices are notoriously difficult to capture accurately, making V2 the most authentic solution on the market for reproducing the dynamic cleanup behavior of a vintage fuzz, the natural bloom of a sagging power amp, and the fast transient response of a studio compressor. V2 Capture creation is currently available only on Quad Cortex. NanOS 2.2.0 introduces the Capture 2 Player, which lets Nano Cortex load and play V2 Captures created on Quad Cortex. Support for creating V2 Captures directly on Nano Cortex is under development. CorOS 3.3.0 🔥 Neural Capture Version 2 🔥 669 V2 Captures across 41 devices 🔥 29 new virtual devices: ⚙️⚙️ Dumbbell ODS (Dumble® Overdrive Special®) ⚙️⚙️ 17 Cabs ⚙️⚙️ Mono Synth ⚙️⚙️ Micro Processor (ST) (Eventide® Micropitch Delay®) ⚙️⚙️ Pattern Tremolo ⚙️⚙️ Bit-Crusher Engine (M) ⚙️⚙️ Bit-Crusher (ST) ⚙️⚙️ Phase-Locked Loop (EarthQuaker Devices® Data Corrupter®) ⚙️⚙️ 81 Creations Drive (1981 Inventions® DRV®) ⚙️⚙️ Aggi Sub Octaver (Aguilar® Octamizer®) ⚙️⚙️ Spring Reverb Engine (M) ⚙️⚙️ Spring Reverb Engine (ST) ⚙️⚙️ Auto Wah 🔥 Several quality of life improvements Cortex Control 1.4.0 Cortex Control has been updated to support CorOS 3.3.0.

🚨 Dr Andrey Kortunov: QUAD IS ESSENTIALLY A CHINA🇨🇳 PROBLEM. INDIA🇮🇳 WILL DEFINE THE FUTURE OF QUAD. ‘It's essentially a China problem. Russia has very little to do with Quad, at least for the time being. Maybe at some point it will become more active in the Indian Ocean, but right now that is not the case. The Chinese are a little bit paranoiac about Quad. They present Quad as a kind of military alliance, an anti-China military alliance guided by the United States. India will remain the lowest common denominator of Quad, and the Quad will emerge only as far as New Delhi allows it to develop. If India would like to put more emphasis on cooperation, let's say in modern technologies or in logistics, that will define the future of Quad.’ —Dr Andrey Kortunov, Political Analyst at the Valdai International Discussion Club, on the latest episode of New Order.

Three Reasons To Buy Bitcoin (Right Now) In this clip from The Call, Macro & Digital Assets analyst Joshua Steiner provides the basis for why Hedgeye has pivoted to a Bullish position on Bitcoin. 🔊 Among the reasons is a shift to Monthly Quad 2 - when growth and inflation are accelerating at the same time. "The only quad that Bitcoin backtests really poorly in is Quad 4 [when growth and inflation slow together]," Steiner explains. "The best is in Quad 3 [when growth slows, but inflation accelerates]. And interestingly we have a May Quad 3 and a June Quad 2." Steiner also highlights Hedgeye’s current Bullish trend signal on Bitcoin, noting that the cryptocurrency is in a pivotal stage of its quadrennial halving cycle—a period that has historically marked some of its most explosive return phases. Make no mistake, Hedgeye views Bitcoin as just another asset to be bought and sold in the appropriate economic environments. We don't blindly hold it in perpetuity - we buy it when it's appropriate and short it when the data tells us to. Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough also summarized the three reasons to buy Bitcoin: "The [bullish] signal says buy it. The Quad says buy it. And the fundamental backdrop on the supply side that Steiner walked through says buy it. I don't have to spend the rest of my life telling you how smart I am about Bitcoin." ****** Subscribe to The Call for more daily investment insights 👇

🚨 Ambassador Kanwal Sibal: 'The QUAD is dying a SLOW DEATH’ 'Rubio came to Delhi for the Quad Foreign Ministers' meeting. But if you look at the outcome and the agenda, it was very tame. There was nothing really that came out, and the possibility of holding a summit is not there on the horizon. And after renaming the US Pacific Command, and other signals that have come from their strategic reviews and defence reviews and general statements that Pete Hegseth has made, it is clear that they are not attaching that much importance to the Quad. In a sense, some Indians might be a bit relieved that they were getting into a body where the Americans now wanted to emphasise the security aspect of it, much more than India would prefer, because we have, right from the start, while being a member of the Quad, always tried to emphasise other dimensions of the Quad. Broadening the agenda to critical and raw materials and technologies, to climate change, to HADR (Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief), to illegal shipping, human smuggling and stuff like that, so as to give a more lasting agenda to this four-power cooperation rather than limiting it only to the security part. And the others have gone along with this. Australia and Japan in particular.’ -Amb. Kanwal Sibal, Former Foreign Secretary of India on the latest episode of New Order.

#WATCH | Taipei, Taiwan: On Quad Foreign Ministers’ meeting, Fellow of Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation, Sana Hashmi says, “… What we are seeing right now is something that is much more evolved and transformed and much more aligned with the interests of the four countries. In fact, the US Secretary of State was in Delhi, and one of the major reasons for his being in Delhi is to participate in the Quad Foreign Minister meeting…we need to pay more attention to the foreign ministers meeting, to the working groups…the reality is much more nuanced than the simplistic understanding of Trump going to China and meeting Xi. We have to understand that the Indo-Pacific is very much there, and the four countries have real concerns, and there is a common thread, and that is the China threat…the main point of discussion is China…there are several strategic factors that are driving the Quad, and that is driving the interest and willingness of the four countries to cooperate. Focusing on the maritime dimension is so very important, specifically when countries such as China are looking at developing blue water capabilities and the PLA becoming a blue water navy. We need to really focus on the maritime capabilities of the four countries and come together forming a coalition, cooperative arrangement where the four countries could actually secure the waters…India is the only country that is injecting the maritime component within the quadrilateral dialogue. India hosts the Malabar exercise, which is more or less now a de facto quad maritime exercise…we have seen during Covid how the four countries came together and became an important stakeholder in the health security as well…but it goes beyond the traditional security issues…we have to look at the timing (of the New Delhi Quad meeting). We also have to look at the location. It is just happening after the visit of the US President to China. This is also an indication from the US that it is willing to repair ties with India, and Indo-Pacific remains an important area for them…this is one of the reasons why tomorrow's meeting is crucial. It's not a new development that India is seen as a formidable power in the Indo-Pacific…when Trump came to power again, there were some hiccups in India-US relationships, but from Australia’s and Japan's perspective, India has been very important. And with that, Quad is also very important…Quad and Indo-Pacific cannot exist without India…from Taiwan's perspective, Quad is the only arrangement within the Indo-Pacific region that is indirectly dealing with the China threat…for Taiwan, China is an existential threat. There is an alignment of interest between Quad and Taiwan…”

ELON REVEALS TESLA’S “CORTEX 1”: AN AI TRAINING MONSTER WITH 100K GPUS TRAINING CARS TO OUTDRIVE HUMANS During a Tesla all-hands meeting earlier this year, Elon dropped a bomb that somehow flew under the radar: Tesla is now operating Cortex 1, a colossal AI supercomputer brain built entirely in-house, designed to train Tesla’s fleet to drive itself using video from millions of real-world miles. Think about it, 100,000 GPUs. That’s not a server farm, it’s essentially AI Thanos. Once fully scaled, Cortex 1 will likely rank in the top 5 most powerful AI training centers on Earth, used solely to teach Tesla's how to navigate traffic better than you do. Tesla’s running an AI brain the size of a small planet and feeding it millions of hours of driving footage 24/7. This is what happens when you combine EVs, space-race energy, and GPU hoarding at Elon scale. The rest of the industry should be panicking: “We have the Cortex 1, basically a giant computer brain that is used for AI training. We take the vast amount of video that we get from all the cars in the fleet and we use that to train the artificial intelligence to be able to drive the car. And this is one of the most powerful training systems in the world... I think probably top five in the world in training centers.” Source: ELON CLIPS, Elon Musk, Tesla

EVERYONE'S BUYING THE M4 MAC MINI AS A CHEAP DESKTOP. HERE'S WHY IT ENDS UP UNUSED. the pitch is irresistible: a tiny mac that runs cool, quiet, and cheap. then the receipt shows up. the mac mini ships with no screen, no keyboard, no mouse. add a monitor, a decent keyboard and mouse, and more storage, and the "$799 mac" is past $1,000 fast. and macos isn't windows. if your world is gaming, specific windows apps, or the setup you already know, the mini fights you the whole way. that's how so many end up back on a pc, the mini in a drawer. so what is the mac mini actually great at? not being your main desktop. it's the box you never look at. headless in a corner, it's a near-silent always-on server: run local ai models on it, host your automations, keep your files, and reach it from the laptop you already use. it earns its keep by disappearing. the honest turn: the mac mini isn't a cheap desktop. it's a cheap server pretending to be one. buy it for the job it's quietly brilliant at, not the one the ads imply. want a main computer? price the whole setup first. want a silent little box that runs ai and never bothers you? this is the one. no monitor in the box, no keyboard, no "just $599". save this before you buy the sticker price instead of the real one.

This was my FIRST time on a mini ex. My good buddy flew into TN & laughed at me the whole time. Worth a watch with sound on. To answer the question: If I were getting into this “grading driveways” as a side hustle gig, I’d rent a mini ex from a local rental place first (they’re everywhere). Practice on your driveway or in your backyard first. One thing I learned with ZERO experience operating these 6 yrs ago: the best way to learn to use them is to just… “get in the seat and do it”. Practice until you’re comfortable, then throw some “I grade driveways and spread gravel. Free estimates” on FB Marketplace. Call the gravel/stone yard, ask how much to deliver per load, add a couple hundred bucks to that per load when you price a job. Go price a few jobs from leads. Rent the size mini ex you need. Probably will need a Cat 303 size for small jobs. And just do it. First few of them you may underprice, or it may take you twice as long as it normally would. But the fact is…practice makes perfect. With each new opportunity you’ll get better and better at it. I would not invest a ton in equipment right off the bat. I’d rent it until enough jobs come in that will fund the purchase of a small mini ex or skid steer.

An example of exiting the Mini / Micro spread for increased profit opportunities. I was long ES from the Opening Range and sold MES in stages at the Payline, and 1st and 2nd targets. I was long 1 ES and short 7 MES. When ES came back into the opening range I got stopped out of that leg. At the same time MES got offered back into the OR, so I placed a buy stop at the OR high to lock in that profit, while giving myself the upside potential for the market to break below its OR and extend lower. I was able to take some profit on the MES at the 1st downside target ahead of 6714 at 6717. The market came back into the OR after failing to break so I covered the remaining MES at the ORH.

I am teaching cognitive neuroscience courses online in which we examine scientific evidence supporting dynamic brain aspects. We hope you will find our multimedia courses stimulating, useful, and fun and I encourage you to consider enrolling. Teaching is a lifelong passion for me and I've missed it in my life -- this experience of true creative pleasure with an unexpected bonus of learning from others in the exchange. Perhaps many of you can appreciate this enriching experience? We think of the cortex in terms of geographical regions, but the cortex works as a whole. This holistic viewpoint is the basis for all courses. You can start learning at your convenience and according to your own schedule, because each course is fully accessible online. Plus, you get a copy of my latest book “On Consciousness: Science & Subjectivity” (all 900+ pages) when you register. As you complete these lessons, you will have gained a deeper understanding of some of the most definitive evidence in medical science about cortical connectivity and the complexities of the living brain. I’m here, so please let me know what you think and if you have any questions. I’d love to hear your feedback about your class experience :) Namaste!

THIS DEVELOPER TURNED A $599 MAC MINI AND $110 OF EXTRA HARDWARE INTO A PRIVATE AI COMPUTER THAT FITS IN A BACKPACK 00:49 he takes the complete setup out of the bag, connects it to a nearby screen and restores the same desktop, files and running tools in less than a minute. instead of syncing a new laptop every time he moves, the mac mini carries the original obsidian vault, claude code sessions, local models and unfinished agent tasks between every desk. the 10,000mah battery can keep the machine running for roughly 2 to 4 hours during writing, research and file organization, or around 60 to 90 minutes under heavier transcription and local ai workloads. the full build costs close to $710 if a screen is already available. that includes the mac mini, a 55w battery, the side mount and the cables needed to connect it to an ipad, hotel tv or office monitor. one box can carry 12,000 notes, 300gb of private files and several active agents without sending the data to another cloud account or rebuilding the workspace every time he changes locations.

Small robot. Useful work. Built as a platform to learn locomotion and manipulation, with the dream of cleaning streets, one maker at a time. From the chassis to the electronics, from the first grip to the drop: here’s a CAD preview of the first version of MOSS, our little tracked rover with an SO-101 robotic arm. Next up: The v0.5 CAD release. Files you can explore, print, modify and build upon. The real MOSS driving on the beach (my agent stepping out into the real world for the first time). MOSS is being built in the open, and you’re invited to be part of it. Build your own, bring your ideas, share your improvements, and help shape what comes next.

Smart Doll Cortex can now run Windows XP! (Kinda) The ESP32-S3-based ATOM S3R by M5Stack is tiny enough, once removed from its case, to fit inside the upper bust of Smart Doll Cortex. We are preparing a dedicated ATOM S3R Bust together with a magnetic bracket that holds the ATOM unit in place. The STL files for both will be released for free. Windows XP is just for fun, but the ATOM S3R itself can be programmed in C++ using the Arduino IDE to do considerably more useful things. You could give your Smart Doll a voice through ChatGPT or Xiaozhi AI, attach sensors such as cameras and environmental detectors, or experiment with practical applications such as fall detection and sending alerts when an elderly person at home may need assistance. Or if you are on team no-AI, you could simply have the ATOM loop a video of Never Gonna Give You Up. What would you program your Smart Doll to do? #smartdoll #bjd

THE $599 MAC MINI GETS A $49 DOCK AND TURNS FROM A DESK COMPUTER INTO A TINY 24/7 AI WORKFLOW SERVER 00:19 he clips the dock onto the back of the mac mini, adds extra ports, ethernet, storage and turns one small silver box into a workflow hub that can stay online for 700+ hours a month a base mac mini can sit online all day, pulling light power while scripts watch folders, move files, process notes and keep boring workflows running in the background paired with claude, it becomes a small home automation box: 2-hour lectures get transcribed, 30-page articles get summarized, reports get drafted, and research gets cleaned before you even open the laptop the difference is the loop. trigger, process, verify, save, repeat. the same workflow that costs $40-100/month across cloud tools can run locally from one machine on your desk that is why this tiny upgrade matters. the dock is cheap, but it gives the mac mini enough expansion to act like a quiet server instead of another computer waiting for you to use it bookmark this before your desk setup realizes it became infrastructure.

A GIRL BOUGHT A $599 APPLE BOX AND CUT HER AI COSTS FROM $459/MONTH TO $23/MONTH. THE MAC MINI M4 IS QUIETLY BECOMING THE CHEAPEST AI SETUP IN 2026 she didn’t buy it because it looked nice on her desk. she bought it because paying for claude, chatgpt, cursor and api usage every month was getting ridiculous the setup is simple. mac mini m4, ollama, open webui, and local models like qwen, deepseek and llama. for most daily work, that’s enough to write, code, summarize, search notes, and run private workflows without sending everything to the cloud that’s why the math looks so good. a heavy ai stack can hit $459 a month, or $5,508 a year. the mac mini starts at $599 and uses around $3 a month in electricity. if it handles even 70 to 80% of the workload, it pays for itself fast install ollama, point your tools to localhost, and the workflow changes immediately. no token stress, no rate limits, no wondering where your files are going you still keep one cloud model for the hardest tasks but once a small box on your desk does most of the work, paying full price for everything starts to feel stupid
