Keyframe

Yeah, we were all there when it happened. It was rich, to say the least lol.

That tells us nothing, nothingburger speculation. However, Apple had that major incident in its history when they made Adobe mad when they went out and shopped for final cut pro, color, and a handful of compositing apps. Didn't turn out well for Apple at the time.

Apple is China.. hence "Designed by Apple in California"

I had to disassemble some furniture as well recently. It had one and a half million screws and whatnots and since it was going to recycling center anyways I figured out sledgehammer was as good tool as any. Turns out it was better than _any_, ultrafast (take that claude!) and a ton of fun.

Sure, I've been here for almost 20 years. It doesn't change a fact it sounds stupid. I asked two colleagues from Japan and they both agreed this probably wasn't done by a japanese person.

No, 512mb NOT ENOUGH to show the time!

I don't know, I don't live or am from US.

How infantile then

Sarcasm hat off: that was the joke

Looks nice, but what's the deal with Mickey Mouse voice? Is it sponsored by Disney or something?

if LLM is your abstraction - you give it a task to produce multiple targets. EASY PEASY, next!

Sarcasm hat on - You know what, if LLMs were so infallible at coding and engineers useless for hands-on, then why even bother with anything except asm or even skip the mnemonics completely and go straight for the binary? Why even bother with abstract code when abstraction is now your LLM.

Last time it was Opus 4.8 to no avail. Fable is too expen..precious to try that yet :)

That's the million dollar question. Do you/we/us have tests that cover everything which covers QA as well? If such a mythical beast exists, maybe from remnants of ye olde TDD past and hasn't been modified as such.. then maybe this would be possible to do as such.

I don't want to knock you down as most have already did. In-fact it's a useful exercise going forward in exploring how to work with AI. It's here, we're all going to use it one way or the other. Zero issues with that, in-fact kudos to going through the pain of it all.

Now, having gone through several such endeavors originally myself, albeit with internal tools and systems (as an exercise), I've noticed that while all my tests passed with flying colors the rewrite itself was broken even on basic functionality or missed a ton of details. It was in effect useless when I dived into it. Initial tests also showed massive gain in performance, and I know people who were involved aren't really dumb so something smelled funny. Turns out all those things left out and honestly... moments were the key ingredients.

What I did learn from those beginning explorations though was that one-shotting, grand architecture or source up-front, master plans up-front.. all these do not yield good results - YET. Who know what we'll see in few years though. What I did found that works (FOR ME, nota bene) is to keep the design and checklists for myself, written by myself and then do a small piece by piece.. as if you would if you were coding alone or if you would waterfalling a small team of talented juniors. Then, suddenly super happy results come out, but then it's mostly you driving all the way where llm writes code and offers advice (which for the most part you ignore). It's a happy place for myself at least. It's then truly unlocking yourself to the mythical 10x.

Rewriting a large proven system with decades of ultra expertise behind it, which I don't have, is guaranteed not to end up the same 1:1 replacement. If you found a recipe for that - please do share.

that's only 133-times as much CPU power

akshually, it's also more closer to 500-1,000x. You can't look at clock speed only. Processor architecture makes all the difference. Pipelining, SIMD, memory bandwidth, blablala, everything got way better. Better approximation would be to use something like a synthetic benchmark or just (theoretical) FLOPS of each.

Otherwise, we can say that 6502 at 15Ghz is better than what you have now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22859706

while impressive as a standalone number, half of it is in US. It launched a year ahead of competition at a much lower price and was when XBOX Live came about. And even with that - it couldn't make a dent in the dominance of of Sony and Nintendo in Japan, where in some cases it was fully discontinued early on and it was s series of missteps that led to where we are today. Microsoft never knew what they were doing. When it seemed like there was a success at hand, it was serendipity rather than Microsoft. Microsoft and their fundamental lack of understanding of gaming is what led to all of that.

This reads like corporate death rattle. Microsoft never had any clue what it takes to make a console - a console. Now it seems they've also completely lost the plot on what makes a business - a business. They should've been Steam, instead they ran out of it.

Yeah pretty much no big issues in moving over. Even ctop works for which I really wish there was a replacement since it's not updated anymore.

After July 7th, it's going to be only usage model. It's not part of subscription tiers anymore. Somehow I'd rather they didn't put it back. The cost is now effectively 10-20x more than a 20x subscription price if you're going to ride it like before.

ignoring the fact one would need a bit of a different setup (chassis, PSU) to run it, I casually looked and there's nothing below $25-50k euros for such a board decked out, depending on the config. TBH even that doesn't sound bad, but I wouldn't even know where to start how to run it.

everything strix halo went 2-3x bananas, same ballpark figures as apple hardware now and lead times on all of those are in months. Ridiculous where we ended up at.

we're dead, practically.

Telemach, 2Gbps symmetrical - 34,90 EUR, Croatia. Flat rate, also includes flat rate landline to in-country mobile and other phones, but haven't bothered to even install that.

Yeah, I don't see this succeeding at these prices. Succeeding in a sense to come close to Switch 2 / PS5 (Pro) levels.

Downloading those giant game installs and updates

Start learning security, this will be a great career going forward!

i like their gear, I bought a whole bunch, but I couldn't and can't figure out how to give my wife access to their Protect app as well. It's absurd to the point where their MFA sent doesn't work when trying to authorize her - and judging by reddit posts etc I'm not the only one. Such mundane things are where UI falls apart, wrong details. Instead of giving elves resources to pack each individual rackmount screw, if they spent some more time on workflows and software, they'd be a truly great company.

that's exactly what I have. I have a hub in the attic with a small rack where all the wall runs end up at both rooms' fiber and CAT6A, there's a small 10G switch with PoE there for CAT6A (for APs and RJ45 outlets). There's also a fiber patch panel there where those rooms' ones connect to. Trunk starts there as well, in a fiber rack shelf which goes to the basement. In the attic I patch trunk to walls and the switch. In the basement trunk ends up in another patch panel (a cabinet on the wall) from which I run fibers to the rack with all the equipment. Thing is, that patch panel cabinet on the wall is also hosting another trunk which goes to the garage, where there's a third patch panel (in a cabinet on the wall) from which I'll soon connect to rack(s) there. Eventually, in the basement i'll just patch trunk to trunk so that way i'll just hoist all the network equipment to racks in the garage. By having three hubs like this though, I can do whatever.

In principle it sounds simple, but in practice I got lost in my own way too many times. Just glad that it's over, hahah.

for shorter runs you might even get 10G on cat5.
