But bumping to 16gb ram means buying new hardware, moving over your profile/configuration and then trying to sell your old hardware, losing money on the trade... vs just upgrading the ram. I'm not saying don't buy a Neo... I&

Depends on if/how you're communication and/or working with others... lets say github/devops/whatever is down... but you're still wanting to get work done and collaborating with other devs. Being able to target

I guess it's hard for me to judge, I never really used Macs during the PowerPC era... I used the prior generation when I was at school sometimes, but not much. Mostly a PC user most of the time until well after the Intel transition. B

Maybe... While less than perfect, I think even moving to shared browser runtimes like Tauri and similar are a boost over Electron. Not to mention shifting backend work to Rust over JS/TS. There's a lot of performance on the tabl

Now pretend you can't get the student discount and actually want the extended warranty/applecare and compare the final result. Now pretend you want to bump up to 16gb of ram so you can run a VM.

They get pretty expensive when you bump the ram and storage... I mean, it's less noticeable in today's market, but it was pretty rough... IIRC my M1 Air cost close to $3k with the extra memory, storage and 3 years of apple care, v

Now upgrade both options to 16gb of ram so you can run Docker or a VM. Oops.

I think it will be closer to the latter in the end... AI tooling already breaks out the work and tasking with other agents/tools... having better optimized domain knowledge agents can only help that... 2-5 minimal queries that can be r

Exactly, as humans you won't know everything... but you CAN know enough to roughly classify what to "google" for... And if you can google a problem summary, you could identify from a select list of domain specific AI mode

Personally and mentioned in other threads, I feel that we'll see a breakup of domain/context specific models as well as the goliath models in use. The tooling and a classification model will draw out the context and tooling will

Not as much as when the leg broke off and you couldn't fix it, so you glue it in place and stop playing with it rather than ever tell your parents you broke it.

For that matter, we may have models/tooling that are smaller that are designed for say identification model first, then handoff to a context specific model that is optimized for a specific domain... where the two calls through tooling

The post you are replying to is literally talking about actual communism. Education in communism will leave anyone underperforming behind... You'll get shuffled of into a vocational school young and injected into the workforce early. D

You have provided no evidence that wealth is a driving factor in any given public school. For that matter, progress is not a myth.. again, we literally eliminated food scarcity through industrialization. That's not a myth. Try again

AP classes allow those who are capable of working ahead of the general students to do so. It has zero to do with wealth. What others are hurt by you being able to take an AP class? Nobody is saying to remove remedial classes for those wh

I said specifically "advance humanity" ... simple labor doesn't advance humanity. It's absolutely necessary, but it also doesn't require a college education. Advancing humanity is coming up with cures for disease,

First, I don't think the productivity gains are nearly what they are claimed to be, and shouldn't be... I think way to many people are getting really lazy and letting a lot of slop through that they shouldn't. Human review t

We do... The VAST majority of kids go through public education... It's mostly a matter of effort, and that comes down to mostly parent pressure on having their kids do the work. Maybe if we actually held kids that can't do the

The bottom 75th percentile don't advance humanity to nearly the same level. Do you think you'd have the internet or iPads if everyone was capped to the 75th percentile? No. Beyond this, the entire point of higher education is to

Not sure I agree with that last point... you probably have one in your pocket already (phone app). Though I'm strongly against electronic devices as core education materials in K-6 especially.

You also don't get the physicality as part of recall with eInk over real books. When reading technical books, as an example, I often would look back when going to review something based on where it was physically in the book... I comp

But you didn't include them in your English or Math classes. They were optional courses, and for older students, not K-6.

I'm not trying to be offensive, but I don't see how typing it into a computer is significantly different than writing it on paper. Is there something stopping you, or anyone from writing it down and taking notes in class and then

Not just for math, but the shift to electronics based learning in language skills is way behind classic approaches from a century or more ago. A lot of common core reasoning is based at a level most younger children cannot yet grasp, and i

Most people are pretty average and plenty of average people make it through a typical Bachelors program just fine. While there may be some concepts that some will struggle with or unable to handle, the VAST majority of school comes down to

Do you want to get rid of "advanced" course options and push every student into the same bucket?

I'm a bit surprised that Go and Rust weren't at least considered. I'd probably have looked into Deno in addition to Bun for the combined TS/JS assembly. On the JS/TS side, you also have a few interesting tools to m

Personally, I think it's probably best to test with Proton as part of a game development cycle to reduce the overall complexity in terms of development (not that games aren't already exceedingly complex). That's just my take
