Of course, because everyone is a freelancer who can just choose what technology they can use to work on, right? You sincerely believe that devs will just add complexity to their work just because?

We don't live in a world where every dev can choose the technology they work on. Most of the time it is dictated by the whims of corporate(by making frameworks/tools as part of a job requirement) or by the mob(teams need to collec

How is that any different from using Django in Python? Laravel in PHP land?

Which is why it puzzles me that the "frontend devs are not real programmers" meme still exists. Like if it is so easy, then why can't backend devs do it themselves?

I bet all of your examples are not something you deploy to a modern application today. All of those are good in theory but don't stand against the demands of modern consumers.

IMO, it's just counter to what Apple aspires MacOS to be. If they would do it all over again, I would bet that they would have wanted to make MacOS be like iOS.

As someone who is not in the simulation and graphic space, what does this library bring that current libraries do not?

I draw the line on going pure portless. I would like to retain USB-C thank you very much.

> The way they wrote about "adaptors" can make it seem like it's something novel, but it's actually just re-iterating vanilla LoRA. That's a classic Apple strategy though.

On the contrary, it's worrying to wonder what Apple gave up to make OpenAI accept those terms.

Glad that there are now open source options after Bartender was acquired.

Wouldn't that logic also apply to, say, Apple?

Cost-benefit analysis probably showed that it's not worth it for them.

TBH, CPUs nowadays are mostly good enough for the consumer, even at mid or low tiers. It's the GPUs that are just getting increasing inaccessible, price wise.

> Oh and then there's magic like Tailwind. Gah. I'm not sure why Tailwind is magic. It's just a bunch of predefined classes at its core.

The irony for me is that I got into React because I thought that we could finally move to an offline-first SPA application. Current trends seem to go the opposite.

Devs only build for the requirements they are given. You want performance? Then include it in the requirements and give it the necessary time budget in a project.

Resume Driven Development is real. Yes, you can optimize the solution to just a USB drive. But that wouldn't check the boxes of people looking at your resume.

People who do art for art's sake will do it regardless of AI. After all, photography didn't stop people from drawing or painting.

Does it really cost a to train one voice? Seems pretty reckless to not have alternatives just in case Scarlett refused.

They will not remember the prompt that created them but by default AI art encodes that information into the image metadat.

Now that we have LLMs, it's possible to trim the fat out of books and condense them to a more concise version.

Agreed. Although inference is good enough on the Mac, there is no way I am training on them at all. It's just more efficient to offload training to cloud Nvidia GPUs

Macbooks are not bang-for-buck. Most engineers I know buy it because it's like Windows but with Unix tools built-in.

If inference on edge devices is their goal, then they would have to rethink their pricing on storage and RAM.

Agreed. Can even get specialized LLMs like Deepsync Coder for better results

Download deepsync coder model via Ollama and connect to the model using CodeGPT plugin?

Whoever is in that market is already served by the current offerings. I doubt anyone would be scrambling to get the M4 if that it is just mote of the same.
