It might actually be for the best to stress the system in this way. It's not practical to keep a military based only around "stockpiles" that you're scared to use up. Modern combat looks like long wars of attrition whe

Absolutely terrifying. I'm sure they will soon find that AI pilots defeat human ones in dogfights 100% of the time, since they have faster reaction times, can tolerate higher G forces, and can be perfectly RL trained in the flight sim

It's funny, my reaction was the exact opposite. Details like this show that they're fundamentally unserious and focused on the wrong things. Imagine if Germany, when developing their automotive industry, spent all their time foc

I admire the effort but it's hard to get excited about looking at some ancient illustrations which have been partly filled in by AI. I want to see the work of an actual specific artist, and be briefly transported to the times they liv

It is an interesting divide. "German" is both an ethnicity and a citizenship, and it's possible to become one but not the other. "American" on the other hand is purely a citizenship, and so it is possible to becom

I have high hopes that America will be one of the few countries on earth to resist the tendency towards a surveillance state. Just because it’s such an individualistic anti-government culture in many parts. There are so many reasons why add

AI is automating all the easier tasks in people’s jobs, leaving them to spend 8 hours a day on the hardest problems which AIs cannot yet solve. Software engineers are probably already familiar with the feeling of burnout from thinking too h

This can’t run any models that cost $25/mtok lol. I think the fastest model it’ll reasonably run will be GPT-OSS 120B which costs $.05/mtok. This is a laptop for CUDA devs and AI larpers.

by chis 4mo ago
This won’t be able to run any of the cutting edge models. And the models it can run can be served from cloud providers for very cheap - like <$1 per million tokens for the latest deepseek. It’d take many years to break even on your $6000

Speculation is it’ll cost at least $6k for 128GB

It's also shockingly twitter-nerd-coded. "The cure for token anxiety", it advertises. To be honest it's hard to see why anyone would buy this product so maybe they decided to take a wild swing with the marketing. The

I think this is a great idea. Wouldn't have guessed this would be possible so I looked into how it'd actually be implemented. I guess this is done on the device as a VPN via Apple's NetworkExtension config. But instead of a

I think it's probably too soon to say. I certainly still feel that large coding tasks are getting better and better with each model. I'd guess lawyers, doctors, etc feel similarly. It feels like the only way to push the limits of

I feel like this is one of the most advantaged times in history in terms of regular citizens having access to cutting edge tools. Looking online it seems like the low end estimate might be $30k a year for such math researchers? And ChatGPT

Such suspicious phrasing lol. So you’re saying Paul Graham and his wife Jessica have 800 MILLION dollars worth of OpenAI stock, and that’s not so significant?

Price targeting can help the poor in some cases and hurt them in others. For essentials where the need to purchase is high and the provider has a semi-monopoly, dynamic pricing leaves everyone worse off. For instance, think of groceries w

Yeah I just don't buy that it would somehow help AI companies for everyone to be existentially afraid of their technology. It seems much more reasonable to think that they really believe the things they're saying, than that it&#x

I disagree. While their core products have stayed similar, they keep getting better at ads after Apple's privacy changes in 2021 hurt their efficiency. And Instagram has changed quite a bit, with reels growing to half of total IG usa

What is your point exactly lol. You'd prefer longer interviews? More, less?

It's surprisingly simple to switch. I mean both products offer basically identical coding CLI experiences. Personally I've been paying for Claude max $100, and ChatGPT $20, and then just using ChatGPT to fill in the gaps. Speci

I'd guess AI has made the average SWE around twice as productive at this point. This is a sort of efficiency shock, where companies suddenly need to find twice as much productive work to do or start firing employees. FB probably had

Are you guys thinking about pushing to improve the linux software experience at all? To me that could almost be another selling point, if Framework 13 came with some downstream patches that improved sleep, power management, multi-display a

They could have done a much more minimal version and called it a day. Being able to swap individual components of the chassis into a 5 year old model is, to me, going way above and beyond.

by chis 6mo ago
It's so cool that every individual upgrade they did here can be hot-swapped back to the older designs. That's a huge extra lift that they didn't have to do. To be specific: There's a new lower chassis, and a new chassis

Yeah completely agree. Even out of my own pocket I'd be willing to spend ~1k a month for the current AI, as compared to not having any AI at all. And I bet I could convince an employer to drop 5k a month on it for me. The consumer s
