In that case, you can get the mini with 64GB of memory for $1999.

I just went through a whole thing trying to get rid of plastic from my coffee setup, since I make coffee almost every day (sometimes twice). I couldn't find any plastic-free drip coffee makers, other than maybe the Ratio 8. In the end,

I'm curious about getting one of these to run LLM models locally, but I don't understand the cost benefit very well. Even 128GB can't run, like, a state of the art Claude 3.5 or GPT 4o model right? Conversely, even 16GB can (

I'm in the US, yes. But I feel like my small Indiana town is always behind the times, so I'd be surprised if anything about it was hardcoded for me.

Tesla gave out free trials of their self driving upgrade this month. I didn't buy it initially because of the grandiose claims that never seemed to materialize, but I've actually been pretty impressed with the trial. I still don&#

Learned about it at PAX East this year. Was the sleeper hit of the event for me and a couple of my friends! It was right there next to Klask, which is another kind of interesting tactile game, though I preferred Crokinole.

They don't have a YT account. Are you talking about the "@musk-spacex" channel which stylizes itself "SpaceX"?

Right, but nothing's new about that. I, like I assume every other American high school student of my time (high school in the 90s), read it and discussed it. We had the standard book with the text on one side and definitions and help

God, this is so weird. Two people earnestly engaged in discussing your resume. It's such a juxtaposition of the trappings of an interesting podcast on just random, boring material. I think this is uncanny valley for me in a way I haven

I think the answer, counterintuitively, is to make these AI tools more open and accessible. As long as they're restricted or regulated or inaccessible people will continue to think of videos and recordings as not fakeable. But make voi

Tesla doesn't break out the details, but I think it's generally understood among investors that they just break even on Supercharger. Their profit comes from their cars, and the Supercharger network was a competitive advantage to

Wow, that is impressive! How were you able to use o1-preview? I pay for ChatGPT, but on chatgpt.com in the model selector I only see 4o, 4o-mini, and 4. Is o1 in that list for you, or is it somewhere else?

I'm confused. Is this the "GPT-5" that was coming in summer, just with a different name? Or is this more like a parallel development doing chain-of-thought type prompt engineering on GPT-4o? Is there still a big new foundatio

Don't you also need OLED for an Always-On display? Coming from Pixels to an old iPhone 11 that's one of the things I really miss.

Yeah, with half a second's thought at the headline it should be obvious they're worried about people talking on the phone or bluetooth, which really is distracted driving. I was sort of flabbergasted at the focus in the article on

Yeah, I have to think things like DynamoDB Global Tables and other tools designed (in a bygone era) of "magic low latency from anywhere in the world" are going to be big footguns going forward.

Hey, I did a similar thing last week with my preschooler's paper schedule they handed out, using GPT-4o. But I asked it to output in a certain CSV format, which Google Calendar can import. Easier to review, fewer tokens.

Nope. That's the small (not barely visible tiny) ball.

I pay for Gemini Advanced and it's much better than GPT-2, I think. I often search the same thing between Gemini and GPT-4 and it's a toss up which is better (they each get questions right when the other gets it wrong, sometimes).

Huh, just yesterday I started setting up and getting used to my new (to me) Apple Watch Series 6, after having used a Pixel Watch 2 for several months. I'm surprised to find myself somewhat disappointed, and preferring my Pixel Watch,

Wow! This is awesome news. Swift is like the perfect language to me - kind of a Rust (whose type system I adore) but with garbage collection. I'd always thought it was a little too tied to the Apple ecosystem, and specifically iOS, but

The thing that bothers me with the over-defensiveness is that a lot of people seem to even think it's okay to drive while high, or that they even drive better! (Narrator: they don't.)

I think you misinterpreted the response. They said "humanity" but probably meant "every single human". You said: "It’s extremely important that we [die] — if not just for getting rid of some of humanity’s worst huma
