But what you say is not entirely true. There is much to love about companies burning cash on R&D. That's how a lot of greatness happened. But what is wrong in the meta situation is that while Meta officially projects its 2026 A

I have bad news for you. No matter what you do here it is probably not sustainable. Competing commercially with people who have so much more resources and ability to build is not sustainable. If it's open source you need adoption

The scariest part of the interaction is the first video at https://x.ai/bot where the bot just snags your creds from the browser and takes over. So many people are going to give x all their data and creds.

Parallax error decreases significantly when lens are close enough and these are mm apart. They are close enough that you can probably just play a perspective trick and hide any artifacts.

There is plenty of room for open source models that "require" a subscription to be used or obtain working updated binaries. Same as any open source platform. I'd be happy to pay a small monthly fee to license the model to ru

You should checkout startups. They would blow your mind.

I think it is funny that it's sewer, because a sewer is also a underground way around things, which is a good description of the out of band solution here. So the name checks out.

This is pretty awesome. Super relevant for the time because AI controlled workflows are desperate for a out of band solution like this. The main thing I wonder is how well supported is it in cloud environements? AKS/EKS/etc?

The obvious business opportunity here is for some lawyer to start running an AI service to do these kinds of things. Anyone who subscribes is a client of the lawyer, who owns the chatbot infrastructure, which would be protected under atto

The fake key for real key thing seems like a problem. A lot of enterprise scanning tools look for keys in repos and other locations and you will get a lot of false positives. Otherwise this is cool, we need more competition here.

This is the real issue. Mac is not a target for a large number of triple A games, and rosetta made that possible. Apple has a vested interest because if they support rosetta you don't need to by Windows laptops to game... you can j

This is awful. I love playing games on my MBP and the latest crossover releases have been amazing in the ability to play almost all windows PC games at full speed. Losing rosetta means crossover is dead. You would hope that apple would o

I can see why that sounds sensible, but my personal obsevations are that heavy duty power users almost universally prefer the bigger screens, and those people also want the highest level settings. Most people I know who want smaller screen

You don't pay your doctors, insurance does, so I mostly expect insurance will replace doctors with chatbots as soon as its feasible. Sadly in a large percentage of scenarios that would actually be an improved outcome. (yes, not all an

He is a horrible apple shill, but he does have great insight and articulate reasoning on why things are the way they are. We should figure out where the block is and remove it.

It has NOTHING to do with regulatory capture. The US is polarized with the republicans not wanting any socialized health care because they don't want to care for people not like them. You can't organize and correctly run a healt

>>M4 Pro has less memory bandwidth than the P40, so it would be slower Why do you say this? I thought the p40 only had a memory bandwidth of 346 Gbytes/sec. The m4 is 546 GB/s. So the macbook should kick the crap out

I built a serverless startup (GalaticFog) about 8 years ago, had to shut it down. Market never developed. There were some obvious lessons learned. First most companies thought they needed to do containers before serverless, and frankly i

I think they say that because it used to be only supercomputers that could do a petaflop of compute. So taking what used to be a datacenter(15 years ago) and cramming it into a small device is a pretty impressive feat.

I work in a large enterprise company, have both windows and mac machines, and excel works equally great in both, but more and more excel runs in a browser. We mostly email links to spreadsheets running in cloud. So it really doesn't m

This is only partly true. AI works really well on very legacy codebases like cobol and mainframe, and it's very good at converting that to modern languages and architectures. It's all the stuff from like 2001-2015 that it gets w

by anthonyskipper 2y ago
I agree with this. But the reason is that AI does better the more constrained it is, and existing codebases come with constraints. That said, if you are using Gen AI without a advanced rag system feeding it lots of constraints and patterns

Some of us look forward to that future where you mostly just interact with AI. The one depressing us is not turning running over our goverment to AI. The sooner we can do that the better, you can't trust humans.

My company uses the Dora metrics to measure the productivity of teams and those metrics are incredibly good.

This is pretty par for course for startups. I've seen companies that raised money ask their VCs to not to invest in competitors many many times.

Not soon enough, and it will never happen for tier-1 cloud providers, and Microsoft is one of those.

Anyone who recommends using an AI detector should be the first person fired. No one cares if you use AI or not... judge the fk'ing writing and the quality of the work and stop being a blocker to progress. Same goes for education... an

Well both things can be true at the same time. I agree Numenta missed the boat, but it doesn't mean that book wasn't prescient. Numenta just didn't get there first, wasn't a fast follower, and blew a huge lead in AI. It

I thought Hawkins's book "On Intelligence" was amazing. It's a bit wild how close things have followed to the direction he laid out.

Scala is the perfect example of why you want to limit expressivity. It's seems so cool and awesome at first, but then you have to support a code base with other engineers and you quickly come to the view that go's limited express
