Also as a rolodex. I just take pictures of business cards and you can long press to OCR the phone number and dial from that immediately with no need to even create contact entries unless it becomes a repeat relationship, and if you do, you

Starting from my mid teens, I've had around a half dozen dentists tell me that I should get my wisdom teeth removed without me reporting any problems or having any negative side effects from them. I've declined to have them remove

Apple Silicon Macs don't have support for eGPUs: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363 Maybe with future TB5 support they will include that feature.

That depends on what you want to play and what other things that suck that you’re willing to tolerate. The GPUs in previous M chips aren’t beating AMD or NVidia’s top offerings on anything except VRAM but you can definitely play games with

There's nothing Mac specific about running LLMs locally, they just happen to be a convenient way to get a ton of VRAM in a single small power efficient package. In Windows and Linux, yes you'll want at least 12GB of VRAM to have m

This list stinks of a Windows user's unbudging perception of a system they don't like. You don't have to like it but anyone can create a list of dozens and dozens of these nitpicks against Windows or any Linux DE if they trie

An infinite loop of crashing isn't very useful though. "Let it crash" doesn't lead to a whole system being robust all by itself since you can also just say "let it throw exceptions" in just about any language.

I understand, but this is very much like promises in JS. You can pass promises around without awaiting their return values too but async and/or promise code inevitably infects the rest of the codebase. I've never really seen anyon

It's not the library per se, it's that the library will require all-or-nothing buy in from your entire development team for it to be useful and persistently maintained, similar to how Rambda affected a codebase and a development t
