it's very odd that someone with no experience would take a big project like this and just jump to another language because he trusts the AI generated code of current models if it works it works i guess, but it seems mad to me on the su

they failed to account for the fact that very similar effects are happening around the world in places where no investment was made to bring laptops to schools these kids have smartphones and tablets and they spend countless hours on them,

yep it seems like they're remaining niche, and thus prices barely move

why? so La Liga can more easily target smaller providers? if anything the "world firewall" here has a redeeming feature, making this nonsense a lot more costly

yep and that was Windows which introduced levels of latency and waiting times much worse than equivalent DOS software, but with easier to use and more intuitive menus instead of the usual DOS UI routine of either no menus or menus that show

it is especially a normie world when it comes to chat the intersection of people who aren't sheepish normies, get stuff done and also chat, is almost entirely covered by forums and IRC, as they had been for decades and they don't

nope, because they can be ran outside of those jurisdictions and they can also be ran essentially anonymously - although that can be challenging depending on the service, but it is possible

latency and control, and reliability of bandwidth and associated costs - however this isn't just the pull for specialised hardware but for local computing in general, specialised hardware is just the most extreme form of it there are t

There's the selling point of using it as a relatively untrustworthy agent that has access to all the resources on a particular computer and limited access to online tools to its name. Essentially like Claude Code or OpenCode but with i

absolutely, the problem of the cognitive friction of having to decide what to pay for compounds massively when there uncertainty about the purchase, and the negative experience when the user feels that he or she has been essentially scammed

ENVY suffered of a problem that many other Smalltalk technologies suffered: a conflict between a culture of proprietary zeal as a business model and powerful network effects of adoption. Visualage in general was plagued by this. I used to b

thanks for that, it's brilliant and very true

You can go back maybe 2 decades without this being very relevant, but not 3 given the low level scope that was expected in CS and EE back then.
226.
by muyuu 8mo ago
I guess it's an age thing, but I thought this was really basic CS knowledge. But I can see why this may be much less relevant nowadays.

by muyuu 8mo ago
smalltalk missed the opportunity to incorporate more sophisticated versioning, including distributed versioning with current SotA ideas of course modern smalltalks or st-inspired systems could still incorporate these ideas

I've been threatened by the governments of Pakistan and Germany for stuff I've said pseudonymously on the Internet. As much as they may think everybody needs to care about their laws, I happen not to.
229.
by muyuu 8mo ago
It's just a reality that law is harder to enforce when you cannot target a given server and take out an entire service. Regardless of what you think of the law. This is why to this day torrenting of copyrighted material is alive and we

also the importance and the degree of care that was put into things that were published, and what all the constraints meant also in computing itself there were strong positives to that, and they just cannot be replicated in a society of hyp

wonderful stuff I have a bunch of the old ones from my late father, I have sunk thousands of hours in old computer magazines, there's something special to them that the new world cannot capture anymore.

they just removed the 50% discount today i can imagine they're a bit tight to keep those prices viable while they also have enough compute to train their new models
233.
by muyuu 8mo ago
i see i guess they were blocking OpenCode for a reason this will put people to the test that use mainly Anthropic, to have a second look at the results from other models
234.
by muyuu 8mo ago
Perhaps some power user of Claude Code can enlighten me here, but why not just using OpenCode? I admit I've only briefly tried Claude Code, so perhaps there are unique features there stopping the switch, or some other form of lock-in.

you have 128GB strix halo machines for US$ ~3k these run some pretty decent models locally, currently I'd recommend GPT-OSS 120GB, Qwen Coder Next 80B (either Q8 or Q6 quants, depending on speed/quality trade-offs) and the very be

when i look at the prices these people are offering, and also the likes of kimi, and I wonder how are openAI, anthropic and google going to justify billions of dollars of investment? surely they have something in mind other than competing f

whose ethical constraints?

by muyuu 8mo ago
This may sound obvious, but there must also be an enforcement of what's allowed into that sandbox. I can envision perfectly secure sandboxes where people put company secrets and communicate them over to "the cloud".

Different beasts on the API, the extra context left makes a huge difference. Unless there's something else out there I've missed, which at the speed things move these days it's always a possibility.

Well, if you're using it like it's supposed to be used, all of it is accessible by a third party and its availability depends on them. It will all be potentially scrapped (meaning it will be). You are essentially outsourcing the h
