Right!? And it is such a relief that their chief strategist isn’t out tweeting about how FUD should be weaponized by the government against foreign competitors.

Head in the public clouds.
Bravo and thank you for some great memories with my kids. My son was already fairly technical but CC took him further down the rabbit hole than I would have thought possible. As we speak he’s writing his 3rd compiler so you could say it stuck!
As a US citizen I have domicile over the data and a legal system that has some claws. We tend to enforce and celebrate IP whereas China openly scoffs at its premise.
Frankly I don’t trust any of them. Certainly not Anthropic after they refused to delete my Cowork session. Certainly not OpenAI with their duplicity. I’m a Google workspace subscriber so I use Gemini, but only with logging disabled and for throwaway searches.
I will go at the pace that hardware I control lets me. That happens to be pretty damn slow ATM… waiting for 45 minutes for my 4090 to pp 30k tokens wasn’t much fun the other day, but it got the job done. If speed were a priority I’d propose be renting time on vast.ai or something.
3.5 pro was clearly a miss. It should have been in prod mid may, not MIA in late July. The brain drain at deep mind is a clear indicator that the people who know the most think that they can’t stay at the frontier.
Antigravity NEEDED to be game-changing. Without the stream of data that Claude, Codex, and Cursor enjoy there is little chance of getting an effective reinforcement learning loop. For the first time in its history, GOOG is at a meaningful data disadvantage, and apparently a cultural one as well.
I’m delighted to get to introduce you to ComputerCraft: Tweaked (modern fork).
Email client and server in Lua
https://github.com/GabrielleAkers/cc-email
The whole project is a great way to get started with understanding computers, programming, and networking in an environment that appeals to the iPad generation- one that knows less about technology than its predecessors. It’s about making computers useful towards your economic and military interests with automation. You build equipment from scratch and connect it any way you please.
For this email approach:
get 3 advanced computers and 3 ender modems then follow the instructions in the readme in the repo
the first two computer/modems are for the auth server and email server then the third is to actually use the email client to send emails. i guess it's 2+X where X is the number of computers you want to send/receive emails on

I strongly feel that if I click on a button that says “Buy” I am making a permanent purchase. The verb should be called “License” or “Lease” to reflect the nature of the transaction or it is inherently deceptive and should be illegal.
I found some correctness issues that leave me a little unimpressed, although it’s a pretty phenomenal piece of code golf in general. For example, on my second move I mistakenly entered f1a1 instead of f1a6. It accepted this and then suddenly I had a bishop where the rook should be and no idea if my rook still exists.
The data is from EMR records. The researchers stated themselves ~ “people should be more forthcoming with their doctors.” I don’t think anything meaningful can be concluded other than most people don’t like having the fact that they have done cocaine on their medical records.
It’s an asset on my balance sheet that’s already appreciating nicely and will likely be resale-able for what I paid for it for the next 7-10 years. I am on an Apple monthly installment plan so $5k is $416/month for 1 year, no interest. I’m able to run DS4 scale models and other open models without quantization, often multiple at once.
Imagine its value if war broke out over Taiwan / Greater China, or really any of the dark scenarios with global connectivity or the truthiness of commercially available models. It is a very, very difficult piece of equipment to make at any other moment in history. I wish I could have purchased more. I saw the signs and price trends and out of stocks as they unfolded. No doubt others with the means are stockpiling.
How is momentum fading when their headline product is so good it’s illegal?
She sounds addicted to toxic relationships.
Current and possible future populations?
I hope they don’t. I hope somehow inexplicably Goose or something wins.
What happens if the auditors use software that consumes the model provider they are auditing? Seems like an obvious conflict of interest for the model, no?
I think that’s not how that works today, but I’m sure that it could and will one day.
I think the level of panic in CFO offices every where about AI cost explosion directionally validates that the spending is real.
More like they sing in coil whine.
That’s why we’re all here together friend.
This is a real business continuity issue for us. We’re kinda stuck with GitHub Enterprise but we may need to move from cloud to on-premises if this keeps up.
My parent company offers Headspace as an employee benefit. My phone doesn’t have any MDM so in theory it should stay deleted after I just deleted it. I suspect that an MDM policy could be triggering these installs. That said, the other theories shared here seem more plausible.
Linux's advantage is slowly shrinking
This is garbage writing. Linux’s advantages are numerous and growing. Ubuntu ≠ Linux. WRT RAM requirements, Win 11’s 4GB requirement isn’t viable for daily use and won’t represent any practical machine configuration that has the requisite TPM 2 module. On the other side, the Linux ecosystem offers a wide variety of minimal distributions that can run on ancient hardware.
Maybe I’m just grouchy today but I would flag this content if sloppy MS PR was a valid reason.
It’s the new cloud cost vector, where cutting 2K from context on a busy service saves $xxxxx.
Terse.
Until the normies come in droves because their dear leader decided that it’s illegal to speak ill of him on a computer, or whatever drives mass change. The regulations will follow, and they will say what we were doing the whole time is impossible and would never work.
This. The best way to win a net promoting customer is to show them that given more tokens, you can do more amazing things, by giving them something they want that looks amazing (at first glance). They then feel indebted and grateful, and go off to show what they have made. Paying greater sums feels to them like gaining greater leverage.
I dunno y’all; feels like free drug samples. Who would ever think of coding without it?
Epson EcoTank has been a great system for my personal needs. They sell devices for full price but will ink that is distributed via bottle that fill a visible tank. If you’re using one color more than others you only have to buy that one. I’m sure the print head will eventually need replacement but it’s been going strong for 5 years so far.
Or is that the latest tactic in appearing human-written?
Yes and CNBC is comically rife with payola content. I just want to know who’s buying.
They are a highly NPS driven operation. It makes sense: if you keep NPS above a certain threshold each sale begets additional sales from other customers. They manage people and places to what customers say in NPS surveys but don’t allow tolerate soliciting ratings. It’s simple, thus scalable.
This leaves an opening for Intel to get in the game. Their new lines have a pretty decent value proposition for mid-tier gaming. If they focused on the higher end they would could own it. There is massive latent demand because of the NVidia situation. It’s easier to make money from than the R&D to build the next Blackwell but there is just as much demand for local/private models on the prosumer level.
FYI I am a paying Workspace customer. I disabled Gemini retention. Doing so means no chat history sidebar- all are ephemeral. It was org-level. That became impractical. I re-enabled it. Magically, all of my old chats were back. The ones during no retention mode weren’t there. Perhaps if I’d left it off for more than 30 days the old stuff would have been truly removed.
The point is there is no conversation-level controls. It’s incredibly user-hostile.
Doesn’t that just mean Flock makes more money from making replacements?
