The better solution for security is sandbox execution. Most agents used in practice, if given terminal access, can find ways to get around most of the MCP restrictions.

Apple OS will bypass any user space firewall. You can verify this yourself. Get an old laptop to act as a wifi hotspot and forward traffic over usb ethernet adapter to your actual router. Then run tcpdump on the computer. You will see the m

Running very large models on Mac is unusable at 10 tok/sec. You get more average inference over the day using free Google Gemini. And for the price of a Mac that can run a large model, you can get 2 3090s humming along running a small

When you are doing matrix math, compute is compute. Apple cant be more efficient due to physics. The only reason Macs are more efficient in general is that they have tightly bundled hw and sw for specific tasks.

Yep. Ive essentially followed that paradigm with Python and C. I start out writing Python code. If I need something to run fast, I build a standalone C application that either reads from a file or listens on a socket, and just invoke it fro

Why is this even a question, of course they can. Write python code, ask any llm to translate it to C, then compile the C code - if it produces errors or fails to run, ask LLM to fix it. Then take it a step further and ask it produce machine

There being a market for something doesn't make it morally right, but it highlights the demand aspect where someone is willing to pay money, which means that there is some level of it not being universally bad. In the case of a Safari,

Your analogy is poor, and you are missing a very important fact. Most of the human written code, in places where that code needs to make money, is decidable either entirely or in large parts. I.e without running the code, you can take a dom

The difference is, the total cost for a human to write/modify code files is much higher than for an LLM. A lot of time has been spent designing program languages so that human time is more optimized. LLMS dgaf if the code is structured

I agree, but there is a market for the former, hence the question.

Again, if money can be used to influence how people vote, people dont have personal agency and that idea should be taken to its logical conclusion where everyones lives are tightly controlled. There is no middle ground where you assume that

Sure, when voting for Kamala, people would be voting for keeping the status quo, which is 100x better alternative than whatever the fuck is going on now. And not voting is basically saying that you rate either candidate equivalent to each

Not sure why you chose to type all that, literally nobody cares about what conservatives like you think anymore.

Spare me the psycho analysis please, its pretty cringe. Explain to me how is this different from safari hunting trips where you can get attacked by a wild animal (often an agressive one thatvattacks villagers) and have to shoot it to defend

Not at all. But the world we live in is pretty fucked up from that perspective. There are ex military contractor guys on youtube talking about their weapons and how they used a certain rifle to fight off invaders in the middle east. Nobody

Im fully on the spectrum, but my first thought when I hear about stuff like this is what would be the moral implication of "recreational gang war" experience. I.e you pay a lot of money, you get guns and armor, you go into gang te

They don't count the claims that are never fought in the first place. Which i would wager is the majority.

CAD is not just drawing. CAD packages are often integrated with other software that does things like stress analysis, BOM, thermal simulation, and so on. Its an entire ecosystem that streamlines a lot of things, so it makes sense to invest

Essentially, every task that AGI can do is the same as the traveling salesman problem - you have some system with dynamics where you can make decisions and to get to the right outcome, you are trying to find an optimal path. The best it can

Again, context matters. P vs NP is a more fundamental problem that if proven, will have insane consequences, perhaps more than anything else out there. For starters, you would be insantly able to design an an actuall all knowing AGI. The NS

There are endless posts on HN about how Macs are good for LLMs. Somoene is running some model on their Mac for local inference. What the posts dont mention is how unusable that experience is with dogshit slow tokens/second. To make a l
