It’s functional if your goal is to run models that won’t fit into RAM on a single machine. Functional.

the slow interconnects (yes, even at 40Gbps thunderbolt) severely limit both TtFT and tokens/second.

I tried it extensively for a few days, and ended up getting a single M3 Ultra Mac Studio, and am loving life.

150ms is sluggish? 4000ms is normal?

The comments are absolutely wild in here with respect to expectations.

>does it showcase any level of technical expertise or mastery? No, I'm afraid not.

But it does show that he can develop and ship a popular product, something outside the capability of so many “great engineers”. Good luck generating any revenue on the backs of smart engineers that have no stomach for understanding the nuance of development over and above writing and checking in code.

It breaks my heart that Perl fell out of favor. Perl “6” didn’t help in the slightest.

No, they are idiots. Not at media consumption, but idiots at life.

There are certain life skills that can be considered “smart” like revisiting your established opinions when presented with new information, or knowing that encountering a new piece of information from a single source doesn’t carry the weight of encountering it in dozens of places, or that making a mistake doesn’t guarantee that your existence is doomed but been presented with a learning experience.

The “stupid” folks refuse to take the simplest steps to better themselves. They refuse to self-evaluate honestly. That’s the root cause. This stupidness results in them being duped and misinformed.

Therefore, when one encounters an uninformed and duped person, it’s not out of line to consider that person “stupid”.

So when people like OP say that people are stupid, it’s not a dig via victim blaming. It’s a judgement that they’re clearly being stupid, that their poor life skills need work because they ended up misinformed.

It’s always different 10 years ago, though, isn’t? Everything is. Rose colored glasses and all.

I remember these exact same “Chinese quality” threads 10 years ago and they read pretty much the same as this one, complete with the “well 10 years ago I got great stuff” and “yeah 10 years ago was different”.

Cycles, man. Cycles.

How would a corporate DNS block new domains, exactly?

The world Is breakable. Any model based on it will need to know this anyway. Am I missing your argument?

> the world itself, which cannot be compacted or fed into a computer at high speed.

…yet.

15 years ago LLMs as they are today seemed like science fiction too.

Seeing as how an eruv doesn’t meet the secular (and therefore the legal) definition of a “home” my guess would be no.

I doubt very much this is related to any local Jewish population. Most traffic buttons are placebos these days; the pedestrian signals automatically signal alongside the traffic lights.

The exception would be low-pedestrian-volume areas with lights and crossings reserved specifically for pedestrians.

Same. I had one of these in ‘98/‘99. The disc didn’t even go into a standard tray—-you had to use a caddy that completely enveloped the disc.

> After an eight-hour flight, if you went to bed at 21:00 yesterday, you’ll do the same today. If you had a call at 13:00 yesterday, it’s still at 13:00 today.

Wow. This is amazing. Who knew this only worked with UTC!! /s

Missives like this just make me embarrassed for us “technical folk”.

How so? I don’t believe that Ive is going along with the purchase.

> Most customers are probably going to assume your a con artist if you don't use the official IAP.

and this is apple’s reasoning for why their strict control over the app store is warranted. they want it to be seen as trusted and infallible and that can’t happen if 3rd parties have free reign.

for me, the correct way forward isn’t external referrals. it’s allowing multiple app stores on devices. if you don't want the “untrusted” 3rd party store with more lax dev rules than Apple’s, just don’t use them.

Yes! Ditto for most Electron apps. 1Password, this evil eye is indeed looking right atcha.

> I was thinking most people nowaday have at least 30mbps upload

Even “modern” cities like NYC are limited to a MAXIMUM of 30Mbps upstream due to ISP monopolies and red tape.

It’s getting better, but Spectrum is still literally the only ISP available for many city residents, and their offerings are so lopsided that their highest-end package is a whopping 980/30.

That’s right. If you use the majority of that 980Mbps your IP overhead will gladly take that 30Mbps, leaving you with just about Zero headroom for anything else.

It’s iodine in table salt not fluoride. In the US.

Never knew that France fluoridated their salt.

I can understand using software like this in conjunction with local cacheing, but it seems to me that direct access to S3 would be fraught with edge cases and performance issues.

then in this case, the policy maker is the person that empowered the AI.

doesn’t change the fact that the AI is seemingly being given final authority over policy decisions.

Maybe “some” applied in the past but his recent history might best be described as “almost always”.

I’d love to see a brain interface so that all these pages we visit can instantly become available to our own non-ai in-brain all-human reasoning.

> The strategy is to funnel most users onto an ipad-like platform at most where they have basic productivity apps like word or excel but no ability to run general purpose programs.

And you know this how?

This reads like every macOS fan’s worst nightmare, but there’s zero actual evidence that Apple is going in this direction.

Please share sources if you disagree.

FWIW, what you’re seeing is likely just the cached thumbnail that iOS creates for the app-switcher UI, not an interactive web session.

In the US, it’s fully legal to perform electric/plumbing/whatever work on your own home.

If you screw it up and need to file a claim, insurance can’t deny the claim based solely on the fact that you performed the work yourself, even if you’re not a certified electrician/plumber/whatever.

What you don't want to do is have an unlicensed friend work on your home, and vice versa. There are no legal protections, and the insurance companies absolutely will go after you/your friend for damages.

Edit: sorry this applies to owned property, not if you’re renting

Who’s going to use this on MacOS to take notes? The only input devices are expensive Wacom-style devices. iPad Pro with Apple Pencil is the way to go here, am I wrong?

macOS: BBEdit now and forever.

First, large companies get to substitute fair wages with welfare and social safety nets, now they’re substituting customer service with the court system?

How is this all acceptable? Socializing the risk and privatizing the profit is a moral disaster.

Apple’s doing this specifically to avoid the possibility of what you’re describing.

The transparency & architecture together are intended to be more than enough to publicly detect any major retooling of the system.

They’d be silly not to hedge. Anyone, in fact, would be silly. It to hedge. On pretty much everything.
