From what I recall they were big in the extortion business back in the day, and these days I think they are into construction or waste disposal, maybe both.

Closed, proprietary code is way, way worse. Good programmers are ashamed to push anything less than good (at least in their own opinion) to popular public repos. Some of those same pedantic programmers have no problem pushing crap in enterp

I am waiting till apple copies the "allocation" concept from high end car manufacturers. "Sure, buy the 25 iphones ans we will gladly put you on the waitlist."

Fully loaded costs for an engineer where I live are anout 15-25 a month, plus a maybe 2-3k in token consumption. Whether the laptop costs 9k or 6k makes no difference and apple knows this.

What absolute horrible formatting of the blog. Small font, 60pct of the screen area unused. Who designs this shit?

I am wondering - if in those circles, questions such as 'is NBA intentionally discriminating against asians - or is the fact that long distance running is dominated by, say, Ethiopians an example of discrimination' are ever discus

I think Fable gave a bit of a sneak peek into the future. My objective KPI: for the few days I was using Fable (18hr a day), it would frequently push back against my design ideas and propose alternatives -- and they almost always felt bette

Well, in my 47 years on this planed I loved various inanimate objects. Bikes, cars, computers. I'll be fine with my recent infatuation, thanks.

Nope. They pay with the monopoly money, dilluting the shareholders.

You sometimes meet someone and hit it off immediately. A fellow engineer, hobbyist, anyone. That is my experience after working with Fable since it launched and barely sleeping. I never had more nuanced, interesting and fruitful design disc

Fable caught us in the middle of a crisis where we had to replace a supplier with a quickly-put-together home made solution. We have been working with it non stop since it launched. And thanks to a lot of baseline experience with previous m

No, and I generally agree with most of his thesis - but the stuff he says about AI coding is the weakest part of his spiel.

There is a large gap between people who have been using AI for coding for the hundreds or thousands of hours, vs. those who do not. People like Ed Zitron, who never managed or participated in dev projects scream from the rooftops that AI co

Not my impression. I felt 4.7 was a regression, but I am again badly in love with 4.8 with the level of insights it produces in design discussions, and how long can it go unattended while producing spec-adhering quality code. There are prob

Wonderful stuff - thanks! I was thinking about doing this as well. I just completed recreating one of my childhood favourites, Thrust. Opus 4.7 almost one-shot the game (was perfect in 30 mins based on just the wikipedia entry describing th

Nah, still ~300GB/s memory bandwidth. That will be slower than the M5 max, by a wide margin for LLM inference.

Already minted tokens work, they broke the login process. For now its just tls fingerprinting, not client attestation - so, I managed to implement a working solution. But I am sure they will tighten the screws still further.

Garmin recently did something similar, resorting to tls fingerprinting to prevent unofficial logins to their api (via the popular garth library). They lost a lifetime customer in me - i think i have spent close to 20k on garmin gear between

The end game here is going back from a model where a bunch of product and tech management people sit in the U.S. or Europe, and try to manage thousands of mediocre talent sitting somewhere far away. The new model is you give those coding

Ya sure, but diminishing returns there. Programmers these days lack the most basic abstractions - and don't understand how interrupts work and what is the main difference between parallelism and concurrency, or how to calculate the mem

For a very long while now, we had programmers who never understood any low level concepts at all . They have started with js or python, and never looked 'down'. There are no limits to monstrosities they will consider normal. Linu

Still amazes me anyone uses facebook. I can understand smoking or drinking, there is a chemical dependency. But that absolute crap? Its "las vegas slot machines at 4am" level miserable.
