They've been pretty efficient in squashing any potential competition because of that weak regulation, yes. Don't confuse it with competing on the merits of their products.

Are they though? Will they always be? Is it in their interest to be efficient?

Maybe if you start from scratch with a new project, but when migrating an old project it's definitely not a drop-in replacement. I try once or twice per year, but it's not worth the effort when the upside isn't that big.

I also have a Thinkpad, but an X1. I'd trade it and my first-born child to get to run Linux on a modern MacBook.

No offense to Lenovo, it's a great laptop. But Apples build quality is on another level, plus if I want to run local LLMs, AFAIK there is no better option.

There's no way I'm going back to macOS though, that shit was bad 5 years ago when I switched and it sounds like it's gotten way worse.

Wow, you should probably ask it to write a script for 90+% of that instead . Sounds like a huge waste of electricity.

What type of hardware do I need to run a small model like this? I don't do Apple.

In Sweden, Tesla is the new BMW. It attracts aggressive A-hole drivers, so no need to automate it.

Are you for real looking up to the US in this case? That's so sad. There are things you can look up to, but over all they are fubar.

You are working under the assumption that everyone who takes property also wants to do physical harm. It's very sad. Most people who take property are otherwise peaceful individuals and more importantly, they are rational just like you and me. They do not want to risk a bigger penalty by using force. Your mindset is one that escalates any given situation. With your mindset you are putting yourself in much more risk than necessary.

I'm going to assume that you are American, and that many Americans agree with you. I can only say sorry. You can keep turning a blind eye to the stats, but it will not change the facts. You will need to change this way of thinking to save your country.

Head, dead, I misread. Not the point.

You do not have a _right_ to kill anybody ever. However, you do have a _right to defend yourself_, within reason. That could in some situations mean that you take actions that kill someone. A judge and/or jury will decide whether it was reasonable. If it wasn't, you broke the law. They did not "take away your right" to kill.

FYI most of the world do not allow you to kill someone to defend your property. That is a very American thing. If someone takes your stuff, you call the police.

If you think that you have a right to shoot someone in the head, you're fucking nuts. Period. Go see a shrink.

They will be before this is over.

I disagree. I think it's pretty clear that they are saying that getting help from an anyone (in this particular case, an engineer) is a two-way street. Nobody likes being interrupted, especially when the interruptor has not made even the slightest effort themselves.

Thanks for your insightful contribution. And for proving my point.

I wonder what happens when we run out of senior engineers.

Of course it isn't made for me, and I do not expect it to be. The fact that you assume so points to a lack of empathy on your end, something that I think most Americans could really use more of right now.

As another sibling comment previously stated, this forum is mainly for employees of US tech companies. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that this forum could do more to keep the number of polarizing non-tech topics to a minimum - there are plenty of other forums where those discussions can and do happen. It's not like there's a tech twist to the political discussions here anyway, it's just poop flinging like everywhere else.

Not every forum needs to be an arena for your polarized world views. This used to be a place where all types of scientific and tech related content was posted. Not so much right now, everyone is just throwing shit at each other but with nicer choice of words than on Twitter.

I see absolutely zero comments in this thread about how it affects tech companies. Please elaborate.

There's a very high amount of political topics lately, and it's very uninteresting to non-US readers. Please stop.

There are a lot of people in Europe that prefer CCP over what the republican party has become.

I love that the top comment is a 10 level deep bikeshed about bikeshedding.

You don't need to be dumb to fall for a dumb idea. Also, the average person is smarter than about 4 billion people.

If anyone deserves to rest, it's him :)

Still looking forward to seeing what he can come up with next time though.

Thanks, a TLDR should be mandatory for articles of this length :)

Anyone know what Butterfield's next thing might be?

To articulate the articles point further: Start with pg, switch to redis when the need arises.

Keep the number of moving parts as low as possible.

Technically not the same thing but ironic/hypocritical nonetheless.

Could you elaborate, which wars did he start? (honest question)

Search for white noise and you'll understand why this is not a great idea.

Apple has manipulated the entire global population into thinking what they are doing is reasonable. It's BS and someone has to stand up to them.
