PC desktop chips have 128 bit busses to right ? From what I know theoretical maximum memory bandwidth of chips is less than 100gbps - which is less than like base M5/M4 chips. So no matter how much compute you stuff in there it's

Not if they trained on driver data. Will come with tailgating, lane swerving and flashing high beams as standard. Sonar will be used to judge the minimum distance you can ram behind someone and when to activate high beams.

1. and 2. are never even an options on linux - there's probably some way but the effort/payoff is basically a nogo. On apple I get those by default just by using the same apple id on the devices. It's not a principled compari

The category of things that don't "just work" on a Mac for me compared to Linux and even Windows is just a class apart. You can't compare shared buffers between phones being flaky or using face time on PC to answer calls

You fix something then the next system update breaks everything. Depending on the machine mood and what I'm currently running slack/chrome will crash while attempting to screen share. Audio routing will get messed up randomly ever

I'm sorry but if your out is linux and windows because you're not happy how stuff doesn't "just work" in the Apple ecosystem boy are you in for a bad surprise. However bad you think Apple is getting with MacOS - win

I meant in the physical sense of muscles/physical adaptations. I haven't read/written C++ in 10 years - it would take me a month to get back up to speed. If you never written C++ it would take you at least 6 months/year

I'm not buying this argument - use it or lose it isn't even true in physical sense - sure if you stop working out you lose muscles/strength - but once you start back up the rate of progression is like 5x.

The joke is that Apple RAM pricing is now close to market level, they still have margin in there even at market prices, and they are notorious for supply chain management and locking in contracts/prices ahead of time. So doubt Apple wi

I keep hearing about how the app integrations will be where the AI value is and then I see the actual app integrations and they are between useless and mildly helpful. From what I can see Anthropic's big bet is that they will solve com

This isn't a binary thing - even if you prefer to build maintainable systems very often the trade-off is - you don't ship in time and there's no long term - the project gets scrapped. So even if it comes at the expense of lon

Replace LLM with employee in your argument - what changes ? Unless everyone at your workplace owns the system they are working on - this is a very high bar and maybe 50% of devs I've worked with are capable of owning a piece of non

Because I've seen the results ? Failure mode of LLMs are unintuitive, and the ability to grasp the big picture is limited (by context mostly I'd say), but I find CC to follow instructions better than 80% of people I've worked

The point is that if you need performance you need to drop below tracing GC, and depending on your use-case, if that's the majority of your code it makes sense to use a language that's built for that kind of programming (zero cost

Ironically those optimizations came from .NET avoiding GC and introducing primitives to avoid it better. And .NET is moving heavily into the AoT/pre-compilation direction for optimization reasons as well (source generators, AoT). If yo

It's pretty obvious from the context that runtime/GC means having a runtime with a tracing GC - and the tradeoffs are well known. These discussions were played out over the last two decades - we all know GC can be fast, but there

I wonder if we'll get to "VI for LLMs" - if the model was trained on using that kind of text navigation and you show context around cursor when it navigates. Would also be worth having special tokens for this kind of navigati

There's two classes of programs - stuff written in C for historic reasons that could have been written in higher level language but rewrite is too expensive - fill c. Stuff where you need low level - Rust/C++/Zig
