An M1 Mac is about 5 years old at this point and can be had for far less than a grand. A brand new Mac Mini M4 is only $499.

With a 16GB GPU you can comfortably run like Qwen3 14B or Mistral Small 24B models at Q4 to Q6 and still have plenty of context space and get much better abilities than an 8B model.

A large number of games don’t even get physical releases anymore. Buying a console for entirely offline usage diminishes the value proposition, basically nobody will choose to do this because you’re not really buying what is being sold anym

What possible damage? People outing themselves as ignorant? I don't see the issue, it tells you which parrots to ignore.

Local models are possible and nothing in that area of development will ever publish a hash of their output. The huge frontier models are not reasonably self-hosted but for normal K-12 tasking a model that runs on a decent gaming computer is

It may depend on what you consider boilerplate. I use them quite a bit for scripting outside of direct product code development. Essentially, AI coding tools have moved this chart's decision making math for me: https://xkcd.

All of the measured subreddits in the linked repo also seem like grift-heavy subreddits to me. They're all the stereotypical "get rich selling pickaxes to miners" subs so seeing them infiltrated by "get rich using AI to

High or rising TIOBE ranking might as well be viewed as a warning sign, like “why are people struggling with this language so much?” Especially with AI tools integrated into IDEs and able to usually get you over small hiccups with syntax or

Submitting a form repeatedly by hammering enter and having a new HTML fragment rendered on the server deliver the next frame, obviously.

Lack of concern or outright contempt for front end and the users is why front end development is a subfield in the first place, because backend devs can't or won't produce something people can use.

I think there's a wide variety of ways this gets taught (in the US at least). But if you go to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum where the Wright Flyer is currently on display, maybe a third of the room's displays docu

I mean, as a potential customer “you’d” probably like to be able to buy the product announced. Fitting new products with A15 or M1 chips that aren’t in production anymore will impact the ability to buy one unless Apple is sitting on a big s

Supply chain consolidation. Supplying newly manufactured iPads with chips no longer in production isn’t really a winning strategy. Honestly it’s a bit surprising they didn’t just jump to M4s since the iPad Pros debuted with that about a yea
