Old fridges last over two decades. I don't think that Samsung and others want these to last as long.

> Before AI there was at least some way to tell apart good programmers from bad

That's why companies were interviewing people on tasks that had nothing to do with writing maintainable software. /s

I understand the concern and it should be addressed and researched. But, simply saying "humans were writing code themselves" doesn't provide any evidence for better quality.

I seriously doubt salaries are included. It must be just the electricity and GPU costs.

In these metrics, yes. In the reported training budgets of anthropic/openai, who knows?

For me, DS Pro is still behind Sol. But I do think many people hitting the Codex limits in 1 or 2 days are doing something wrong.

Entirely depends on the work asked and the repo involved.

When I’m doing work on a repo where I’m implementing a standard and the agents have to read the standard to keep from hallucinating my usage skyrockets.

Hell this changes depending on which language I’m working with.

> including acts of God

Serious question: how do we know something is or isn't an act of god?

It's a legal term of art not directly tied to religion any more. Act of God is basically "natural disasters"; eg: hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, etc.

In this case I suppose we can take the Ayatollah's word for it?

> There should be some kind of OS level flag that can easily broadcast to products that a child is using the device.

Anything like that should be configured by the parents. Your child is your responsibility. I shouldn't have to take a picture of my passport just because someone is a neglectful parent.

Absolutely. Of course. Is there any question about this? Do you see people advocating for something other than this?

Yeah, there're people saying everyone should verify their age for the sake of keeping children off internet.

Wasn't writing on the wall when Aaron Swartz got prosecuted?

And people still don't believe Apple is giving a good deal on Macs.

Prompt processing on Macs is VERY slow...

which engine? cause there are dozens already, and some are quite fast.

Which one is the fastest and how fast is it? Even the "fast" ones doesn't seem to even reach close to consumer NVIDIA GPUs released years ago when it comes to prompt processing.

large model and slow, or speed and a teeny model, make your choice

Or you get N of RTX Pro 6000 and get large and fast models :) Make your choice, and do it before the prices go up even more.

indeed. make up your mind, and also "slow/fast" mean very little given plethora of models to choose from. fast for what, slow for what. fast with which harness, etc...

well yes if money is no object, why not

none of them are Nvidia GPU FAST

But more memory is available so a larger model can be loaded. It depends on the use case which is better. Any chat or voice model will have better UX with nvidia but document or code generation will be better with apple.

it's not a binary thing. At some point Apple becomes too slow with very large models. If you can just run a model at 1 token per second and it takes 30 mins to process a long context, it's useless

> Prompt processing on Macs is VERY slow...

That sounds like a contradiction.

With that attitude from the corporations, why wouldn't anyone pirate?

I think the current iteration of foldables is still too bulky for me. But I can see how it'd be cool to have a large screen while the device still fits in my pocket.
