Not sure I understand, Mac OS is BSD based. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)

You could say the same thing about all Microsoft products then. How many full time developers does it take to support Windows 11 when Linux is available, SqlServer when Postgres is available, Office when LibreOffice exists? And so on all un

Yeah the fact they had to resort to forking Chrome because they couldn’t engineer a browser folks wanted to use is pretty telling.

..this is the saddest thing I’ve read in a while if true. Whiteboard sessions with coworkers designing architectures and playing out/bouncing ideas is one of my favorite things to do at work. Just don’t invite the folks with unearned

It will be like AdWords, pay to have specific token output replaced by your trademark. this_variable_is_sponsored_by_coinbase = 42 I’m just exaggerating … I hope.

So so many… eBay search shows only 15 results, 6 of them being ads for new systems… https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+studio+m3+ultra+512...

The whole windows game mod scene shows just how much of a toy operating system windows is. Game mods are changing memory values on the fly on running programs and the OS allows it. These mods can just as easily read/modify Excel sprea

I have to admit, I expected a couple of "You should rewrite it in Rust" hipster posts by now... Maybe they caught on that those types of posts were not having the effect they thought they would? I kid, I kid... mostly

Respectfully disagree. NT/Win2000 was the peak as it was before they added all the DRM/phone home junk. It ran fast, in fact diablo ran smoother on it than on the win 98 partition I had at the time. Granted some programs failed b

People don’t walk around pointing a live phone camera and microphone at people. Facebook got it wrong. It’s takes special kind of dbag that thinks it’s ok to wear a Facebook recording device on their face.

I went into EE wanting to learn how to design CPU’s and thought the analog side would be boring. However, control theory turned out to be my favorite class. Learning how negative feedback loops are everywhere was an eye opener. Also learnin

So have an AI with a 40% error rate judge an AI with an 40% error rate… AGI is a complete no go until a model can adjust its own weights on the fly, which requires some kind of negative feedback loop, which requires a means to determine a f

And yet rapidly still no where close to running a profit. Time to push the "Its a bargain at $500/month!!!!" narrative. Once they admitted they are going to have to take money from folks who chop up journalists that made them

It’s not that the LLMs are better, it’s the internal tools/functions being called that do the actual work are better. They didn’t spend millions to retrain a model to statistically output the number of r’s in strawberry, but just offlo

I’m sure managers think anyone who would put up with this crap would be easy to exploit vs a “trouble maker” who would dare question authority/management.

lol. That made me chuckle.

Ah yet another attempt to push the “$200/month is a bargain!!!” narrative. Sad. I get it. No one is really making any money yet, including openAI. As the VC money dries up this is only going to get worse. Like ads in responses worse. t

My first thought was to try it with the Gang of Four book. I got a headache just thinking about it.

“useful things“ like poorly drawing birds on bikes? ;) (I have much respect for what you have done and are currently doing, but you did walk right into that one)

It’s a lossy text compression technique. It’s clever applied statistics. Basically an advanced association rules algorithm which has been around for decades but modified to consider order and relative positions. There is no understanding, r

You can always chroot the directory you're using to isolate the tools from the rest of your system. That is unless your using a toy operating system of course. ;)

The fact you believe the 5% number is pretty interesting.

I hate to break it to you, but humans wrote the original code that was stolen and used for the training set.

Disagree. The tab completion is very annoying when you’re trying to type. I know, I know, AI hipsters think typing code is so 15 minutes ago. Get off my lawn/keyboard. Its agent AI assistant isn’t bad but sadly the restore points butto

Cool story bruh. It was initially enabled by default and by design had intern level security. Microsoft has earned, many times over, its hate.

This “feature” was made for corporate owned window machines, who will force it enabled via policies.

The large models are using tools/functions to make them useful. Sooner or later open source will provide a good set of tools/functions for coding as well.

This narrative has been pushed hard lately that $200 a month is a “bargain” because it’s “worth” $1000. If that’s true, then these companies will be running out of venture capital money very soon. Then their only recourse will be to sell th
