They do allow you to run third party operating systems on Macs. For now.

It's probably cheaper to squish everything into one small PCB on one side of the machine.

I wonder if this means a Mac Nano with an A-series chip is on the table now. Essentially a beefed up Apple TV that runs macOS.

Several 5K 27" 120hz+ monitors were announced at CES earlier this year, likely all using the same panel as the new Studio Display. Apparently MSI is shooting for about $900. https://youtu.be/r6VT5bEeKWw?t=197

You don't raise $42M for just a text editor, it was always going to be a vehicle for services and subscriptions and whatever else they can think of.

That's finally set to be resolved with Nova Lake later this year, which will support AVX10 (the new iteration of AVX512) across both core types. Better very late than never.

RAM is still RAM, the switch from crusty HDDs to fast NVMe SSDs may have helped to smooth things over when you spill into swap but it's not going to do miracles.

Yeah this is correct, I don't know why you're being downvoted. The decisions Apple made when pivoting their software stack to high-DPI resulted in Macs requiring ultra-dense displays for optimal results - that's a limitation

> Meanwhile, Macs had no such price change Yeah because Mac upgrade prices were already sky high, long before the component shortage. 32GB of DDR5-6000 for a PC rocketed from $100 to $500, while the cost of adding 16GB to a Mac was and

> It’s $400 to go from 16GB to 32GB. No change from the previous models then, 16GB->32GB was already $400. They're cutting into their previously enormous margins to keep the prices stable, rather than hiking the prices to maintai

Those budget alerts usually aren't instant though, they only fire when the cloud gets around to reconciling your usage some number of hours or even days after the damage is done. It's better than nothing but with runaway spending

The whole repo must be absolutely swarming with agents, just look at the sheer rate of issues and pull requests. There was 6 new PRs in the last 10 minutes at the time of writing. It's not much of a stretch to assume the stars are als

Carmack isn't exactly a neutral observer here, his main gig since quitting VR has been as the founder of a VC-backed AI startup. He has a clear financial interest in joining the chorus of AI boosters.

Addendum - now they've changed the dates of several articles retroactively, to increase the spacing.

The rate they are posting new articles on random subjects is also a pretty indicative of a content mill. In 3 days they've covered machine learning, geometry, cryptography, file formats and directory services.

In practice RLHF isn't a survey of every living humans personal style or preferences though, its purpose is to make the model more useful in the eyes of the vendor, mainly by getting cheap third-world labor to nudge the model according

LLMs might follow the frequencies of the training data in their raw form, but nobody uses raw LLMs, they use models which have been RLHFed to hell and back to bias them towards specific patterns. Then newer models were trained on the output

Christ their repo is an absolute nightmare. There's new issues and PRs being posted practically every minute, and I assume 99% of them are from agents given the target demographic. Just full-auto vibeslop from all barrels 24/7.

The problem is less with the style itself and more that it's strongly associated with low-effort content which is going to waste the readers time. It would be nice to be able to give everything the benefit of the doubt, but humans have

And as we all know, more lines of code always produces better results. That's why we call it "technical wealth".

> But why "explicitly forbid generative AI". The AI policy linked from the OP explains why. It's half not wanting to deal with slop, and half ethical concerns which still apply when it's used judiciously.
