I still run a 2014 Mac mini and a 2012 MacBook air

That sort of stuff is bullshit I assume meant to boost the interviewer’s ego. Anyone can come up with shit like that given time to prepare or the internet.

Unless you work in some highly specialised field maybe.

Can you share prompts and the output? I’ve tried building fairly simple models and it doesn’t grasp that I am building a solid object.

What was your prompt and what did you design.

I’ve tried Gemini (paid) in the past with openscad and then designed the same object myself and I was 10 times faster

I agree.

But the moto has always lacked any aspiration about how they should do good or make the world better. “Don’t be evil”. Who thinks they are being evil? No one.

The author is not cynical enough.

Do you going around telling people how virtuous you are? No, good people just try and be good.

The slogan was a red flag right from the start.

The best models are clearly all from US companies.

But I think what you’ll see is people making sure the model they use can just be plugged into their workflow.

I used to use Gemini-cli until they did a Google and cancelled it in favour of anti-gravity.

That was my fault. Fool me the 10th time shame on me.

So I picked more open source offerings that I can use with any model. Once the other models are good enough, I just need to jump ship.

You mean that one day all the Epstein files will change to no longer contain countless mentions of Trump?

How do you supposed this will happen? Through destruction of evidence or the invention of a Time Machine to warn his younger self?

False equivalency. Trump constantly says whatever he wants in plain contradiction to verifiable facts: The strait is open! We win the war! I’m not in the Epstein files!

I bought mine 10 years ago, maybe longer. Never had to do anything. Super useful when we need it.

What happens when the reader is wrong?

People keep bringing this up as though it’s a counter argument.

Yes, things will have to change. That’s the idea.

Doesn’t China have SMRs?

* Is it the YouTube algorithm's fault? Or viewer preferences? I think YouTube would be happy to recommend the videos to more people if more people watched them.*

I always got garbage even if it suggested things I wanted to watch too.

The best way is to disable suggestions completely and then just make a note of your favourite channels. That way you get a completely blank landing page and are forced to search out exactly what you want every time.

You can still choose not to buy the “authentic“ good can’t you?

Yes! Always run some numbers in your head. People will sometimes pick percentages or numbers in an attempt to bolster their arguments. Don’t buy it, work it out for yourself.

Those are just products who cares?

I think the GP is alluding to understanding the fundamental way a thing works.

I think you need to ask what you actually want to do with the AI.

If you want to be a researcher and come out with the next breakthrough, get ready to go back to school and learn some math.

If you just need to learn how to use it well and build things with it, then you probably just need to have a high level understanding.

Same as programming. I’d bet most programmers have no idea about the physics that makes computers work.

I shouldn’t need an agent to configure it.

Is this the new “just compile it from source”?

I used Linux for a long time. I still prefer it. But I can’t justify the extra work. Last time I tried to move back to Linux, I spent far too long admiring the machine. This was only 5 years ago.

Wow. Bringing up murder and hitler when talking about piracy. Some parts of the internet are truly eternal.

None of this is new. None of your ideas are unique. Stop attempting to draw moral equivalency to theft or anything else.

Back in the glory days of piracy, profits from entertainment kept going up? You know why? Those pirates were almost certainly not going to pay in the first place. No one lost money. It was university students, high schoolers, plain old poor people that were pirating.

Making it hard to watch your movie didn’t raise revenue, we all just did something else. Because we had no money.

I truly feel old when we are rehashing the same thing that happened when TPB, Limewire etc were taking off.

Down to the arguments being made why this is “theft”. I also can’t believe that the arguments by the general pop have shifted to support multi billion dollar companies and their narrative.

Microsoft has built some good hardware over the years. The problem with this is that it runs windows. The hardware is probably nice.

Is this not just a tooling problem?

Seriously considering that a rival hired a sniper to shoot your rocket is stupid.

The truth is always in between the extremes.

I use AI a lot. But I’m specifically looking for ways it actually ads value.

Maybe Repomix?

Is this satire?

This is the point. Welcome to America.

Spending is just a proxy for AI use here. This is nothing new. I remember past CEOs saying “Ajax! Ajax! Ajax!”, “Big data! Big data! Why aren’t we using Big data!”

AI is just the next tool to over spend on in poor ways, realise it’s shit and spend a ton more money trying to roll it back.

The situations where is shines will continue to use it when the hype dies down.
