I know I'm ngmi with this attitude, but I just find it hard to believe there even could be such a thing. All the numbers point towards us hitting up against planetary limits, at some point something's got to give. Positive news ab

Nice! Though for older hardware it would be nice if the price reflected the current second hand market (harder to get data for, I know). Eg. Nvidia RTX 3070 ranks as second best GPU in tok/s/$ even at the MSRP of $499. But you can

Agree, but that's just the term for any LLM-assisted development now. Even the Gemini 3 announcement page had some bit like "best model for vibe coding".

Reproductions of the product of thought, more like it. I assume pretty much everyone here knows the gist of how LLMs work? "Based on these previous tokens, predict the next token, then recurse." The result is fascinating and often

That's the entire point of the joke, yeah. Japanese manufacturing was dodgy in the 50s-60s but great by the 80s. Korean manufacturing might've been considered dodgy in the 80s but great by 2000. Taiwan (ROC) went through this also

Smart objects and smart filters were present in early CS versions I think. CS5/CS6 had them for sure, though I don't doubt that new filters and features have been added in CC.

I thought the idea of C++ as "a better C" died quite some time ago? It's quite clearly its own thing now. In general I think the appeal of "a better C" is limited. The value of C is that it's simple limited thi
