It’s confusing because it says “GitHub copilot running locally on your mac” when it is actually Llama running locally on your mac, but with the copilot interface. So the confusion is because what it says it is explicitly different to what i

Because it is hijacking the Github Copilot functionality in VS Code. But yes, confusing notheless.

If something is already really dangerous, why add performance enhancing drugs into the mix and make it even more dangerous?

What if it takes you longer to vet false positives from a static analysis tool rather than just testing your code better?

"A tool is only useful if I can use it in every situation". LLM's don't need to find every bug in your code - even if they found an additional 10% of genuine bugs compared to existing tools, it's still a pretty big

It could make sense if Windows had a subscription for enterprise, and they offered things like SaaS-level support for your corporate Windows installs (i.e. I think there is probably a version of this that could provide genuine value to both

I think this is an interesting point - I work in supply chain and commonly when tendering companies will say things like: "We have been profitable for 20 years straight" Being profitable in SCM is a sales point, being unprofitable

Yeah, but considering it says "this is a file explorer" a load of times, saying "it doesn't claim to be a file explorer" isn't right.

I mean the title of this HN post is... > Spacedrive – an open source cross-platform file explorer (github.com/spacedriveapp) Then the github file about section says... > Spacedrive is an open source cross-platform file explorer,

Subsidise now, profit later. If you have the cash, it’s probably better to burn some getting early user adoption if you believe the cost base will reduce in the future. Inference costs are dropping fast, so you might as well subsidise now a

I think your reasoning is flawed - the fact a lot of .com projects were BS does not imply that the underlying technology (the internet) wasn't transformative. Are we really saying that people who were saying the internet was a transfor

There will be millions of hustlers regardless of if the technology is transformative or not. The invention of the PC market was filled with hustlers but that doesn't mean that the PC didn't match the hype. The .com boom was filled

To be fair, running a Kubernetes Cluster is simpler than running a Fully managed Kubernetes As-A-Service Offering for thousands of clients.

Depends if the hype is invalid - Let's remember that "There will be a computer in every home!" was once considered hype. There is a possible world where AI will be a truly transformative technology in ways we can't possi

Something can be both fraudulent and an antitrust issue. In fact there is probably a specific type of fraud which is just this (at least in the UK), which is "Fraud by abuse of position" The UK legal definition of this would be me

Depends how important consistency is - application-level only will mean it can potentially silently fail if there is a bug.

In that case, you don’t understand it. This isn’t preprocessing software. It’s mostly aimed at getting the right shot in the first place, and giving skilled users enough control to make better shots. So that’s why it’s called camera.

This implies that rail is running at capacity during the night, which I suspect isn’t true. It’s not a choice between 1 car-train or 1 normal night train - you can have both if there is line capacity. And you probably aren’t running sleeper

If anything, I assume the gold is much more likely to get recycled.

These sort of costs are easier to drop than they are to raise - they might want to see take-up at a higher price point and then drop it later.

Depends what you think the skill of a wedding photographer is. When I have seen an excellent wedding photographer, the skill seems to be 20% photography and 80% people management. Great wedding photographers seem to be some sort of strange

Interestingly this assumes that the goal is learning how to manually write code, rather than learning how to get a LLM to generate code for you, or learning how to build a product. If you believe the future of coding sits in AI/LLMs&#x

Just to play double-devils advocate: If you want something done right, other times you will have to get someone else to do it. You know what you want, but you might not have the skills to do it. I can't represent myself well in court,

Well they are a private company so you are going to have to evaluate it on that basis, but reuters is generally considered credible.

They have gone from being a niche research company to being (probably) the fastest growing start-up in history. I suspect they do care about communicating with customers, but it's total chaos and carnage internally.

They probably thought they had more venture-capital runway, but the broader economy is now in belt-tightening mode.

It was pretty obvious that this was what the price needed to be from the start, so it’s great they have been able to finally make it work.
