Yeah and the production numbers from the start seemed to indicate that Apple knew it wouldn't be extremely popular. FWIW, I bought one knowing this, and have zero regrets. Amazing hardware, it's the best personal display on the ma

Yeah, I think what gets lost in the corporate AI convo is that it accelerates impact; for better and worse.

I wouldn't, the A380 is designed to fly with just one operational engine.

With open-weight models getting closer and closer to parity with frontier models for specific tasks (coding,etc) the frontier labs are trying to make moats via their software. Personally, this is why I foresee Anthropic/OpenAI/Goo

BYD sure, but I have serious long-term doubts about teslas ability to capture any significant market share. They’ve dropped to their lowest level in the US since ~2017 and frankly their products are awful. We just bought an EV last year and

The overwhelming majority of local businesses around me don't have websites, just a FB page. If you want to look at upcoming events, specials, restaurant menus, etc. you either have to hope FB doesn't throw up the "you need a

You think making the biggest breakthrough in battery tech is easier than monetary incentives?

We bought an F150 Lightning instead of a Sierra EV mainly because of this. I'm not interested in 'cars as a service'.

Deleted mine months ago. Altman is one of the slimiest tech ceos out there, which is saying something.

Yes. I see it hallucinate method names for 3rd party libraries constantly. It’s useful, but when users here say they’re vibe coding 98% of their work, I have to think they’re not working on anything complex.

Conversely, I have yet to see agentic coding tools produce anything I’d be willing to ship.

If I had to bet; they'll put their 3.7L V6 in and run it on the miller cycle with a fixed drive to hit @130+kW or so. The changes for cooling, etc. will be substantial, but the problem space is already well-known by the team, so the ti

Also bought a Lightning. I use it for plenty of truck related things that don't involve towing and it's great. I like to target shoot on family farm land, and it's awesome to toss my steel targets and equipment in the bed and

That’s not what I’m suggesting at all.

Sounds like an argument for better hiring practices and planning. Producing a lot of code isn’t proof of anything.

by segfaultex 8mo ago
I wholeheartedly agree. Shitty companies steal art and then put out shitty products that shitty people use to spam us with slop. The same goes for code as well. I’ve explored Claude code/antigravity/etc, found them mostly useless,

Or the Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, iPad, etc. They’ve made plenty of things. I liken them to the Lexus of consumer electronics; expensive for what they are, thoughtfully designed, and conservative in their approach to adopting new trends

Why not both? And that's a good point, there are a LOT of incentives to make things arbitrarily complex in a variety of fields.

by segfaultex 10mo ago
Not the original commenter, but I 100% agree that it's weird we have so many ways to describe dictionaries/hash tables/maps/etc. and lists.

Yeah, I don't want to be uncharitable, but I've noticed that a lot of stem fields make heavy use of esoteric language and syntax, and I suspect they do so as a means of gatekeeping. I understand that some degree of formalism is re

I'd argue that placing faith in any large institution is folly. Especially when that institution has a bunch of perverse incentives to act immorally. Any nation with any amount of leverage has abused it.

I think we'll see a lot of companies moving away from public cloud providers in the future, but I don't think it'll be because of any privacy-related concerns. It rarely makes economic sense to deploy workloads onto the publi

I have scarcely gotten decent code. The best a model has spat out is 'fine', which is ok for menial tasks. I have yet to see anyone show me an AI generated project that I'd be willing to put into production. IDK, I feel like

I don't understand how one would come to the conclusion that this is new behavior from Apple. The first MacBook Airs were wildly impractical and expensive. The first iPad suffered from the same issues. Various iterations of the iPod na

This is what a lot of business leaders miss. The benefits you might gain from LLMs is that you are able to discern good output from bad. Once that's lost, the output of these tools becomes a complete gamble.

Yeah I think this will be a noticeable trend moving forward. We've frozen backfills in our offshore subsidiaries for the same reason; the quality is nonexistent and onshore resources spend hours every day fixing what the offshore peopl

Enterprises are increasingly looking at incorporating targeted local models into their systems vs paying for metered LLMs, I imagine this is what the commenter above is referring to.

Is your implication that MSFT will bundle the tool in their windows dist? I wonder how that will work with the networking reqs the DoD has. Probably some direct link to a gov VPC I suppose.
