I thought Nvidia after they invested in Intel killed Intel’s GPU efforts as it could be a threat to Nvidia’s GPUs

Not saying the heavy hand of the Xi admin and Chinese communism is equivalent to the outright lawless, corrupt, grifting and vindictive and hateful administration that is Trump 2.0 ... but it's pretty much * makes the 6 7 motion that the kids do * this for me.

China will just do a better job -- if they do this at all -- of storing, collating, indexing, and using data from their state sponsored and championed AI labs to use that against the US. [1]

The US under this admin is doing the same, attacking universities, allies, it's own citizens.

The two governments are operating more or less the same. Ergo the ai models from each country's ai companies shant be trusted either.

Apparently Google and team will build ASICs to run Gemini even though they have TPUs and it’ll be somewhat dynamic since the weights can be made modular [1]

I do the same for my blog [1]

Exactly what I’m thinking, too.

What the difference between your experience and https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=5701652400? ‘s?

Such diametrically different ones.

Good. Now go touch grass. A dead nonexistent Facebook would be a net benefit to the world.

Muse won all but one test where they tied

Barely legible website at least on mobile. Who chose that font?

But there are many competitors no? Adyen at least comes to mind.

Welp wasn’t going to use Nazi porn bar guy’s LLM before even more reasons to not use it now.

This is the coolest fact I’ve learned in a long time. Thank you!

I hope Apple crushes openAI in this lawsuit and everyone who leaves for OpenAI and bag of cash instead of their dignity and honor is made known.

Fun game!

I got stuck on the word corner of all words. Ugh

What does this mean for the future of Doom?!! I hate this. Maybe we should have been sounding such an alarm when Microsoft was buying everyone.

I’m all in on Anthropic. How good is frontier openAI models for coding and things?

SQLAlchemy vs hand rolled SQL and mapping the results it’s not even close. The overhead if you need it cuz you’re sub scale so be it.

With a few extra lines and mapping objects to classes this can be done.

To have all this ease of use you give up so much in performance.

Most apps and companies never get to the point where performance matters that’s why we have ORMs.

Same here please!

You and me both bud. You and me both.

Who would you trust? Some random company with a fickle board or the fed? I trust the fed.

Meh. Money is to be operated by governments. I don’t want some company owning it.

Waiting for a new admin to launch a federal reserve coin and end all these other players.

Same. And your M5 has acceleration that I don’t with my M3 max. I can’t do anything local it gets hotter than an Intel Mac trying to run docker from back in the day.

Who? is buying who?

I guess good for them and for the folks who just got paid.

I used Mullvad before this because they passed a bunch of tests and legally denied claims to user data. I don’t have the reference but it was on HN.

So who do people recommend now?

But it’s not about critical thinking or governing well it’s about getting re-elected.

So the argument will go to “think of the children” which is a guise for more control and then pretty soon we are living in the dystopian future of 1984 or the UK where the film V for Vendetta took place.

This same kind of thinking gets idiots like Trump elected because people don’t have any sense of the commons and become single issue voters (sic). “Oh just reduce my taxes on my carried interest… reduce my taxes… I’m a xenophobe I hate immigrants let’s not do anything systematic let’s just hard close the border or the world is flat America only exists we don’t need allies or trading partners (JD Vance) … and so on”

Well great. Now I gotta go find a new no logging VPN.

I’m hoping they put a lot more silicon in the GPU so when I’m not running a local LLM the game I play runs smoother

There’s not a lot of detail in the article but that doesn’t mean we have to link to a pay walled thing. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/06/25/2027-macs-m7-chips/

Small, quiet, underpowered and some games you can’t play because of stupid kernel level anti cheat and expensive. Not quite DOA but not the hyped thing I was looking for.
