The Mac unfortunately just has two performance modes ‘all out power and melting’ or ‘cold and really really slow’

Set its thinking lower. This is a known issue. It still thinks A LOT with lower reasoning levels

It requires patience but it’s more like waiting 5 mins for it to do tasks. You need to be much more involved though and do things slower than Claude where you can trust it to do a lot of tasks at once. It doesn’t have the context for that

It’s hot and also LOUD and runs the battery down quick. But I’m having a lot of luck just running things when I’m away from the computer and can leave it plugged in. It starts going weird (unreliable and slow) with context over 80k so you h

I just got qwen 3.8 27b mlx running on my Macbook Pro and honestly I’m pretty blown away by how not-dumb it is.

Please don’t do this. You know it will be annoying.

I think you are just playing devil’s advocate.

There should be a distinction between helping the military and helping a police state. Eg. Flock cameras don’t help the military but do help the police state.

My Swedish friend told me they make the more expensive things to sound more Swedish and the cheaper stuff to sound Norwegian. Any speakers of either language able to confirm or deny?

I was with you all the way up until how you pivot to ad advertorial and become the exact thing you are complaining about. If you can’t beat them, join them right?

They also do other things you aren’t allowed to do as a developer - eg. When they do a ‘free trial’ of Apple TV, if you cancel it cancels immediately. All proper subscriptions you retain the use of until the renewal date.

Yeah you can win on hard playing one handed by just spamming ‘kick’

The website is still up and has more bandwidth than EVER BEFORE. Some people are calling it the website of steel. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER

I made a game about this. You can play it if you want to feel annoyed. https://termsandconditions.game

Just been giving this a good try. It just creates educational slop. Please stop.

So do you guarantee accuracy for the course content itself, or is that also not guaranteed?
78.
by jonplackett 2mo ago
These things are trivial to remove though. And the whole point of it is they will also make the _detector_ available so you can then also check if you successfully removed it. It’s not a solvable problem.

The problem with pretending is that people who k ow what they’re doing get away with it while people who don’t (and don’t even use ai) get unfairly accused of using it. There just isn’t enough information in plain text to do this and we sho

We need to just stop pretending we can reliably tell if plain text is written by an LLM. It’s just not a reasonable ask.

What is the quality of the output like compared to something like Veo?

People are missing the commentary that this is exactly what happened…

The reason is that back then while Mars bars were more unhealthy - everything else was more healthy. Eg. Mayonnaise contained eggs and oil instead of the weird crap + sugar mayonnaise is made of now. Also even things like the vegetables has

‘artificial flavour’ may be doing some heavy lifting

I’d be more interested in the ingredients. I would guess the 91 version has a lot less weird stuff in it?

Is it just about pushing people out of autopilot? When commuting in particularly people are just in their own world. I’ve noticed a similar effect when it snows here in london. It’s unusual and it’s like a common adversary to everyone and e

I also had a sales job at uni, just selling windows. But it was great for making me much more socially competent. Highly recommend.

The worst thing about Apple AppStore ads is they create a who-can-pay-more rises to the top situation, where previously it was more based on merit. And In order to make an ad campaign make financial sense, you MUST have a subscription app.

Yeah if you can afford the probably 10x it will actually cost, you can also just afford a cleaner to come twice a week and be able to do a wider variety of tasks (anyone going to trust this with ironing?)
