If you use the $1.4k USD laptop for 2 years, that works out to around $2 / day. If it’s a Mac, it probably has some resale value at the end of the time bringing the cost down closer to $1 / day. For a work machine, that’s pretty e

I’ve found that the $1000 Mac laptop is worth about $500 after 3 years and the $500 laptop is worth $50. The price difference over time really isn’t that big and the Mac is going to have a better trackpad and display and longer battery life

> it seems they all lag about 20% So they are about one generation behind? That's not bad really. What's the AMD or Intel chip equivalent to the M2 or M3? Is somebody making a fanless laptop with it?

I bought an M4 iPad Pro and ended up returning it because I just don't like the magic keyboard. My current iPad is from 2018 and I use the Smart Keyboard Folio and (for me) it's just about perfect. Small, lightweight, not too expe

I believe the criticism is that he's reporting on a pre-release LLM which isn't the same as the one you and I are going to be using a few weeks from now after they've downgraded it enough to work at scale.

It will never happen, but I'd love to see the NYT follow up their story and pit some of what Graham says against their cadre of experts and see what parts of the story they agree on and which ones they don't. I would think the peo

Fortran is not a better choice unless you are only thinking about the immediate needs of the course. In the wider world, Python is going to be a lot more useful to the students.

They are collecting this data in order to use it for advertising. Google, Meta, and TikTok know a crazy amount about the people they are tracking. There’s no way they don’t know (or couldn’t make a great guess) about the age.

The educators will adapt. They might use AIs to grade papers written by AIs. Or, do what my kids' school did for some classes. Instead of teaching in class and then assigning homework, the homework will be reading a text book and class

True! That’s just the way language works though. It’s semantic nihilism in the same sense sense as saying “perpetual motion machines are impossible” is physical nihilism .

Robo taxis might change lots of things. I think I would be a lot more comfortable letting my ten year old use a Waymo to get to grandma’s house than a city bus. It’s door-to-door and you don’t have to worry about some weirdo across the aisl

Sure, but if the LLM tells you the jump from step 2 to 3 in a calculus problem is the use of l'hopital's rule, you should be able to figure out pretty quickly if it's a red herring or not.

This reminded me about a wtf moment back in 2008. New York City tried to make it illegal (misdemeanor) to posses a geiger counter without a license. Obviously, it never became law. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives
