I just spent multiple evenings talking through a small data model. With the massive number of misses the model had, I can’t imagine how bad it would have been if I had let it yolo the first design of its choice, to build on. The requirement

A year from now we won’t care that today’s qwen is good enough for some stuff. But yes, it’ll still be available.

I see little evidence of business-oriented cult followings, here. Certainly people have preferred tools. And if people argued with you about the merits of llms, that’s obviously a different thing. I suspect if a third provider blew the two

If I were running one of these mega AI companies I would set aside a tiny team to produce and release a pelican model, explicitly trained for this. The very best svg pelican on a bile generation model. Just for laughs.

I can’t say this enough… Expect the tap on open models to slow and eventually disappear. They don’t exist for altruistic reasons. It’s peculiar to current conditions.

Around here it was schools. Every machine in every school in every district was an apple, from the 80s to the late 90s. Many thousands of kids spent more time using those than anything else. At home, very few had apple machines. We did have

Seems pretty simple in your analogy. You can be proud of having commissioned a thing… be it landscaping or software… just not for making anything you didn’t. And of course there are shades of grey in between, depending on how critical you w

By end of decade, no? Seems like domestic fab will always be two steps behind. I assume by design.

No, it does not. More like "probably", "yes", and "probably not."

Yes, sometimes a healthy company will eventually have their business undermined by some future technology. Except that's not what we were discussing.

Wow. I just tried it and it worked like magic. Thanks for mentioning that.

What does that mean to be "transformative", as a defense? I thought that was explicitly disallowed use... like turning someone else's book into an audiobook and selling streaming access to it. Or writing a film adaptation and

Nah. We know what good looks like in financial results and reputation. It's really not that complicated. The rest of that bullshit isn't about evaluating a working company, it's about gamblers gambling on non-companies befor

They spend 18 rounds over six months vetting a developer with silly puzzles that must be solved from memory, with an audience. It's about as far from the job as possible. This happened by trying to find capable people that didn't

For years before LLMs got big a comment I would often see was, "Google search is worthless now. I basically solve all my problems by searching reddit."

The company can provide secure enclave and allow the architecture to be audited by third parties. Which apple does. It's largely academic though, as almost nobody opts-in to escalated e2e posture in apple services unless they're a

Anywhere you move it, it's executive branch stuff. I'm not sure what a bureaucratic shuffle would buy you in today's environment.

It's telling that these come from people trying to implement tracking and high visibility into user behavior, and complaining that Apple won't let them even though Apple conceptually could. Except ublock, which can't do what

I did a build from their repo and pushed it to the Apple TV, just to try out the rewrite changes. It's considerably improved, and plenty nice for my purposes. I didn't feel like I had to, though. I'll delete it and use the

I had some issues with it too, though not as bad as you seem to have experienced. Good new is they're reworking it, heavily, and seem to be near a new release. For my own purposes I cloned it and pushed the build to my AppleTV... and i

I haven't touched a media server setup since like XBMC and earlier tuner board + dvr era stuff, but recently did a Jellyfin setup for all my purchased physical media. It was crazy smooth for me. TMDB stuff just worked. Movies, TV, extr

It feels wasteful, but I do it too. Could definitely be an ignorance problem where I don't really know what the alternative is.

Also mentioned was Apple, who gets to shrug and carry on... now with fewer manufacturing issues. Microsoft has to be shaking. For the first time in three-or-so decades they were finally involved in something big when it happened instead o
