Probably building a spotlight index or something of that sort.

I think your intuition is correct: you probably don’t. That’s also very likely changing. Lookup “project Valhalla”. It’s still a work in progress but the high level goal is to have immutable values that “code like a class, work like an int

iOS 7 “UIApocalypse” all over again. Liquid Glass has a few bugs to iron out but as a whole is quite good.

Humans have been shown to solve problems and discover things that "no human has" up to that point. So I wouldn't even call it "superintelligent". But it would definitely be truly useful at that point! The marketing

What caveats specifically? I understand the problems of measuring cross-platform performance but anecdotally even on things that it's not specifically optimized for, for example running a Java Virtual Machine with 10s of GBs of memory,

What is "novel results"? A random UUID generator also gives "novel result", every time. Even if we're to humor the "novel" part, have they actually come up with anything truly novel? New physics? New pro

It is the fastest laptop CPU in the world right now, by a decent stretch. 128GB PC laptops are not very cheap either, if you want a decent one, like a ThinkPad. Here’s a 7000 USD ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 workstation: https://www.lenovo

Are you implying that in order to turn a profit you need to install the Zoom app? Or that they are collection data to turn a profit.

macOS is a UNIX (a certified one even!) so it really doesn’t care what or how you’re running a program. You can put anything anywhere manually on disk and run it. If some of those languages require any “global singletons”, that’s probably t

What is Apple native package version control? Almost everyone that I know uses brew. And even people who swear by Linux use it, so obviously props to brew. Apple computers now use more or less the same architecture as their phones, based on

Wow. If true that’s embarrassing.

It’s true that before Apple Silicon one could make the argument that the hardware benefits of a Mac were mostly incremental vs a PC. But today that’s not true anymore. Today Apple is both form and function. I’ve personally heard many misg

It's all about the opportunity cost. There are always assumptions that need to be made, but it will be hard to argue that lottery tickets are better than startups. I don't think they are. A more useful comparison would be a seriou

It’s a garage where regular cars and self-driving cars “coexist”. The self-driving cars have human minions walking 24 hours in the garage, employed by Waymo/Google, to make sure the self-driving geniuses are able to successfully park w

Have an AI model prove that P is not equal to NP. Then I’ll be impressed.

I have a problem with the analogy “lottery ticket”. I think analogies are helpful as long as we are talking perhaps a singe order of magnitude difference between the two things. The chance of winning most popular US lotteries is approximate

Like what exactly? As far as I can tell, the drug discovery is fizzling out, so it's not talked about much. Toxicity, for one, is a big problem, and the AI is not going to tell you whether the new drug it just concocted is suitable for

I mean that a human is ready to jump in at any point an "exception" happens. Example: During parking, which I witness daily in my building, it happens all the time. 1. Car gets stuck trying to park, blocking either the garage or a

I think "hasn't seen before" is a bit of an overstatement. Sure, the problem is new in the literal sense that it does exist verbatim elsewhere, but arguably, any competition problem is hardly novel: they are all some permutat

This. Dealing with the problems of a real-world legacy code base is the exact opposite of a perfectly constrained problem, verified for internal consistency probably by computers and humans, of all things, and presented neatly in a single P

I think the question is for other projects: How come you've not chosen ClojureScript? ;)

Very nice! ClojureScript rocks. Just curious, did you use any React for this, or is it vanilla HTML interop?
