The mixer space is the only one where behringer doesn’t actually just copy other people’s shit and make it cheaper. Their mixers are cheap compared to the competition but they’re super original and have tons of features and UX patterns not found on mixers that cost 5x as much.

Though the adage “this is the worst it’ll ever be” is parroted daily by AI cultists, the fact is it’s still yet to be proven that currently available LLMs can be made cost effective. For now every ai company is lighting tens of billions of dollars on fire every year and hoping better algorithms, hardware, and user lock in will ensure profits eventually. If this doesn’t happen, they will design more and more “features” in the LLM to monetize it - shopping, ads, sponsored replies, who knows? It may get really awful. And these companies will have so much of our data and eventually the need to make profits will lead them to sell that data and just generally try to extract as much out of us as they can.

This is why in the long run I believe we all should aspire to do LLM inference locally. But unfortunately we just are not anywhere close to par with the SoTA cloud models available. Something like DGX spark would be a decent step in this direction, but this platform appears to mostly be for prototyping / training models meant to eventually be run on data center nvidia hardware.

Personally I think I will probably spec out an M5 max/ultra Mac Studio once that’s a thing, and start trying to do this more seriously. The tools are getting better every day and “this is the worst it’ll ever be” is much more applicable to locally run models.

Isn’t the whole point to run your model locally?

There absolutely are soft skills and it is clear that you do not have them.

Typical “I try to seem like an intellectual but I’m actually a foolish, frightened conservative” post.

Crime is down. You have been manipulated.

He’s just saying you gotta do what you gotta do. I couldn’t find work after getting laid off from meta platform engineering so I started clandestinely mass producing pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine for distribution across dozens of citizens across the American southwest. In my spare time, while looking for help desk positions.

Lyme requires the tick to be on you and feeding for like 24 hours right ?

I’d love to switch to Linux but it seems impossible as someone who relies on macOS / logic for music production. I’m in too deep and feel like the floor is coming out from under me with all these insane changes and the direction Apple is taking

This response is unbelievably disingenuous and very likely a bot account / hasbara effort. This type of gaslighting: claiming every pro Palestine effort is a pro Hamas effort, claiming every pro Palestine protest is designed simply to harass Jewish people, painting every 20 year old who sees 20,000 dead children and is horrified, as a terrorist supporter - these lines are tired. They don’t work anymore. Your propaganda falls on deaf ears. We won’t stand for this anymore. Zionism is not Judaism. To do these atrocities in the name of Judaism and then hide behind it is the true antisemitic act.

I’m pretty shocked to hear that someone like you exists already. Lots of questions. First, now that you spend so much time in VR, why does that kill your need to take notes? Are you somehow taking notes in VR? Do you find that these notes are as effective and personal as real writing? Do you put everything you write into an LLM now and trust that it’ll be searchable forever and the AI won’t lose its context?

and I think you would do well to remember this system has led to dozens of false arrests and traumatic experiences for small children in the cases of faulty OCR identifying the wrong car, and millions in taxpayer settlement money having to be spent as a result. Okay, let’s say your premise is correct, that for some reason, the size of our vehicles means they must be tracked everywhere they go (but also how exactly does this make sense? A license plate is a far cry from an ALPR, they serve very different functions) — Do you honestly think that we should as a society allow a private company to do this job?

Elvanse, which is lisdexamphetamine, is sold under the Vyvanse brand in the US. It is a prodrug for one of the isomers found in adderall. This just means that you take elvanse, which is initially sort of ‘inactive’ and your body eventually converts it into what can essentially be thought of as adderall, or more accurately, d-amphetamine. Adderall specifically also contains l-amphetamine which is absent from this drug, the l-amphetamine isomer is responsible for more of the unwanted nervous system / cardiac effects.

I think there are plenty of dishes that have pre sliced pork chops or rib eyes. The exception, sure. But it would not be hard to find even one example where this is not a rule. Your position is too brittle to take seriously.

I personally wouldn’t care if shitty windows laptops can’t run this….my machine has 64gb unified memory and Apple should be working hard on these types of features. Instead we get custom emoji…

God this comment reads exactly like someone asked gemini to make a classic hacker news comment reply to this post. Slightly useful insight, that perfectly transition into an ad for the commenter’s startup. Actually, I asked o3 for a response to the OP and here’s what it generated.

“Using AI for code has reminded me of this sensation… switching in and out of “driving” feels more exhausting than being 100 % one or the other.” You’re not imagining it. There’s a fair bit of cognitive-science literature on task-set inertia: every time you hand work off (human→AI or AI→human) you pay ~100–150 ms to reconstruct the mental model, plus an exponentially-longer “resumption lag” if the state is ambiguous.¹ Do that dozens of times per hour and you’ve effectively added a stealth meeting to your day. A few things that helped me when pairing with an LLM: • Chunk bigger. Treat the AI like a junior dev on 30-minute sprint tickets, not a rubber duck you ping every two lines. • Use “state headers.” I prepend a tiny recap in comments — // you own: parse(), I own: validate() — so I can scan and re-hydrate context instantly. • Declare no-AI zones. Sounds counter-intuitive, but reserving, say, test-writing for uninterrupted solo focus keeps me in flow longer overall. …have you tried anything successfully to address it? We were annoyed enough to build something. At Recontext (YC S24) we sit between your editor and whatever LLM you’re using; every AI request is automatically tagged with the diff, dependency graph, and TODO items so when you jump back in, you get a one-glance briefing instead of spelunking through scrollback. Early users report ~40 % fewer context switches during a coding session. If anyone wants to kick the tires, we’re handing out private beta invites — email is in profile. ⸻ ¹ See Monsell, “Task switching,” Trends in Cognitive Sciences 2003 — the “switch cost” math is sobering.

That is incorrect. The retail price of this device is 2,000$ and has been since it was released. For a while, the original op1 was sold at 1400$, but never the field. This is a 600$ discount, with a very weird thinly veiled and very stupid marketing gimmick on top, for the maybe one weirdo who thinks it’s funny to pay more than you have to.
