I got the M4 mini and then bought a refurbished M1 MacBook air so I could ssh/remote desktop into my mini from the couch. Love that MacBook Air, cost like 200 bucks and is super-fast.

Isn't this to rent the datacenters though? That's not really long term revenue if xAI will eventually need them back.

Think we all can agree he has had staggering successes, but they have all come from having massive capital from Paypal which wasn't anything super innovative, it just solved a convenient problem at a convenient time and was awarded han

The word editor isn't really Microsoft's product, it's just one of the many entry points to the Microsoft Office cloud sphere where all the data can be interconnected and shareable.

I use copilot as my daily driver and haven’t seen much difference with it and Claude code’s output. I think your answer is you’ve been using weaker models, that’s comparing apples to oranges. Have to try the same model on both harnesses. Al

Surprised Carmel, Indiana hasn’t been mentioned in article or comments. They replaced almost every single stoplight and stop sign intersection in the town with roundabouts. Think the number of roundabouts in the town is in the hundreds

I think this is only true if the # of doctors available per patient stays the same. If productivity increases, you can have fewer doctors available while providing the same quality of care. So, quality doesn't necessarily increase in a

I don't have the numbers on this, but if you look at per-capita self checkout probably had some effect. Our population is increasing which means we need jobs to be increasing at same rates. The effect on supermarkets is they get more c

Funny enough this gets around content exclusion filters my company has set (for things like missing copyrights), so i actually like it

It’s not just free users with excessive commits, actions, etc… Enterprises are benefitting from the same AI and are increasing their volumes as well

There isn’t mission critical work being done on GH. You start charging more and the people in charge of finance at companies paying for GH will actually start paying attention. Those finance people don’t care rn because GH is affordable and

And then get penalized for in the market when they say we need to build more DCs and spend huge capex... which is what GH needs right now

by chris_money202 1mo ago
Both Microsoft and GH issue is capacity which is being solved with huge capex in DC investment, you can't create a new DC overnight and its even harder in the current climate where everyone assumes the DC is for AI and not just normal

So your proposal is for Microsoft to invest their free cash in helping support a bunch of AI coders maintain their pet projects? Sounds like you should be a CEO!

Intel started making DRAM in 1970, Micron was founded in 1978.

Nvidia buys the memory it uses on its GPUs, same as all other ASICs. To give some context, Intel started making DRAM, I think they were actually the company that came up with modern memory techniques. They exited the market and pursued a mo

RAM chips are not hard to produce compared to many other types of semiconductors; Intel started in the memory game and left because the margins weren't great and they were going to fold. The failure rates on these chips are actually ve

In the short and medium term, it probably won't be more economical to produce for OpenAI. Where OpenAI is benefitting from their own chip is being able to tailor it to their models and workloads. When you buy off the shelf Nvidia, its

Opening large PRs is bad engineering practice, regardless of if an LLM or human wrote the code. Would recommend your senior team look into stacked PRs, which was made to handle this scenario exactly.

Writing code and being formally taught a coding languages syntax and toolchain are quite different.

by chris_money202 1mo ago
Most computer science programs don't teach "coding" though. There is pretty heavy emphasis on datastructures, algorithms, and system design. I don't think AI atrophies those skills / knowledge as much as the coding

Anyone can train LLMs on public GitHub repos

by chris_money202 1mo ago
I think GH/Microsoft got caught by surprise to the huge usage number increase as a result of LLMs. Microsoft started rolling all of its DCs to OpenAI around 2019-2020 to begin LLM training, then we saw a huge GH increase in late 2024 a

Azure is at capacity; GH offers a lot of services for free or heavily discounted. Especially when its public repo. These aren't profit generating for Microsoft, so they are not the priority with the capacity Azure has available. GH is

It was probably written 95% by an LLM and has only a few people (if any at all) that understand major parts of the system end to end. It will eventually have the same uptime issues as GH (or worse) with less ability to provide stable fixes.

GitHub is crashing due to scaling pressure. Something GH is much more equipped to solve long term.

The kv cache is wiped as soon as you get your answer, cloud hosts are not going to hold the GPU memory for your entire session. You're probably referring to some agent level cache

I don't know if that's the whole point, but I agree with the sentiment, why would a startup be working in legacy code and where would that code come from if this is truly the start of something. OP might just be working at a small

My thoughts on this is there is a deliberate act going on that is doing more for retention than just the simple act of using a (fountain) pen. If I am in a lecture and I am writing down everything I hear as fast as possible in one ear, on p
