You're welcome to try the LLM's yourself and come up with your own conclusions. By what you've posted it doesn't look like you've tried the anything in the last 2 years. Yes LLM's can be annoying, but there has been progress.

So you don't use the built-in Terminal? What about Finder, Safari, Mail, Spotlight, System Settings, etc? If someone doesn't care about how they look, they should use all the built-in stuff right?

> But I don't care that much about how things look, so it doesn't offend me.

So I'm guessing you use some default Mac editor (Xcode?)? You don't change your color scheme, you don't change your font, etc?

Aside: Software devs are very weird, they spend all this time crafting their dev setup and but when it comes to their OS they just give up and whatever Tim Cook feeds them their in. Makes no sense. Anyway, off to Linux land. See ya'll!

I can conclude based on using FSD every single day. I've hit issues just like this, as well as police directing. And it's completely fine.

It kind of makes sense. Why program or train on such a rare occurrence. Just send it off to a human to interpret and be done with it. If that's the case then Tesla is closer to Waymo then previously thought. Maybe even ahead.

I used PureBasic back in like 2003 or 2004. It was super simple. Looks like it's still around and the site looks unchanged since then. Probably crazy fast on modern hardware

MacOS is abysmal with backwards compatibility. In the music space, everything just breaks every few years. With Snow Leopard, Lion, Catalina, Sequoia. While Windows versions work forever, you're stuck having to upgrade and buy new versions of software to run on newer versions of MacOS. That's if you're lucky. Sometimes you might have no path and you need to look for new software.

I used some software called Project 5 from Cakewalk back in 2006, as well as VST plugins. I can still install it and use it on Windows 11. Meanwhile, basic plugins from that time stopped working on Mac OS X Lion.

Just like the gut you have to have the right bacteria. Not none. This is a study on Psoriasis which is caused by systematic inflamation.

I've been saying what we actually need is universal dental care vs universal health care for over 15 years. Giving out universal health care without dental care is like changing the oil in a car but failing to see the tires aren't even on.

I heard horror stories from my mom who worked in a periodontist office (as receptionist) growing up. Really got me to care about oral health early on. Health really starts at the mouth. If you don't have a healthy mouth you'll never have a healthy body.

Reminds me of the rsync Dropbox comment lol.

>And it's hard to install Arch successfully.

archinstall. You can even select a DE in it

Gnome still does things way better than MacOS. Multiple desktops can be used with no animations. Built-in hot keys for applications without a 3rd party tool. Gnome extensions, a search that works for finding things (I know this is hard for Mac users to understand)

That's just a unified memory architecture. Strix Halo has this, too. It's not only Apple. Memory bandwidth is lower than the ultra series but faster or on par for every other M series processor.

> Not much has changed or improved on the pure fundamentals

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. What DE are you talking about? Or are you talking about something else?

What do you mean by unified? Strix Halo is "unified". The M series platform isn't the only unified platform out there.

I think with stem separation,you could potentially train a model. But the latest Suno is really good. You can still kind of "hear" it. I had a song come into my playlist. "The Dad Bods Pop Punk". I have a keen ear, and I listened to the song a couple of times when I realized it. When I went to the artist it was a bunch of AI-generated pictures and listening to the other ones it's clear it's AI.

There's another side of this. The teachers have gotten used to technology, too. They don't want to grade papers by hand anymore.

We started on Rails 3.2 and on Rails 8 now. Some upgrades were harder than others, but they never warranted anything close a rewrite.

Everything is slower across every single facet of computing. Something is happening. I have a brand new Mac Studio M4 Max with 64gb of ram and every site is still slower than it was on a 2011 Mac Book Pro.

This. Multiple desktops and full screen plain just doesn't work if you're used to getting around an OS with the keyboard.

Who is MacOS even for anymore though? It reminds me of the touchbar, removing ports and Macbook Pro. Know your audience. Professionals use MacOS, everyone could get by with a $200 Chromebook. Why cater to the wrong crowd.

It's happening. They've probably had iOS on Mac laptops for 5 years at this point. Similar to when they had been compiling MacOSX on Intel for 5 years before switching off PowerPC. The cursor on iOS on iPad is the nail in the coffin. I'll make sure to ping you when it does.

It's obvious iOS will become the desktop OS in the next 5 years or so. I've been worried since Lion that MacOS will become iOS, but with the recent changes on iPad it's clear the opposite will happen. That's why I'm getting out now. MacOS has been going downhill anyway. It still has no great way to manage windows or workspaces. It doesn't have tiling built in or even a clipboard manager. The only way to make the OS usable is turn on accessibility reduce motion, but that still doesn't allow multiple workspaces to be usable.

Sounds like all the same things Waymo has when they launch in a new area?

It's not "Musk's argument," it's Andrej Karpathy's.

Also, if you've ever done any ML you would note that more data isn't always better. Plus there's the piece about which thing to believe when you get conflicting data. It's a lot more to it than what random Hacker News people are saying in this thread.

They don't need Anthropic or OpenAI. Literally just go to ollama.com and throw a dart at a random model. That will be better than whatever they are doing now.

My mom does everything through voice on her iPhone. My son defaults to using Siri on Mac for a ton of things. He grew up with an Alexa. It's really the in between generation who learned how to master a computer at a young age that don't really use it.

You're gonna have a bad time in the next few years haha.

Where we're not going to need interfaces. It seems like most normal people will not need any type of interface. Glasses or not.
