100% agree. The mac mini was offered with 8GB for some time as well, and when my dad needed a new desktop, I thought that would be a good option. It was basically unusable. Even when you only have a few finder windows and a few (less than 5) tabs in safari open, you can feel the swap slowing down the system; just opening a folder or a new tab is noticeably slow, opening safari itself takes multiple seconds, and with just that basic usage you can run into the out-of-memory dialogue, something I had never seen before in macOS.
I have no idea how apple can believe that the neo won't damage their brand reputation. They must have optimized something to make 8GB viable.
This is fascinating. I scrolled through that page and immediately felt like something was marketed to me. I actively hated reading this because it felt so much like the tech company's buzzword-filled landing pages that I have come to despise over the course of my career.
But giving the paper to Claude and having a dialogue about it was a very pleasant experience because I could ask questions to focus on the parts that seemed most interesting to me.
Are they? I couldn't find any info about this and my past perception has been that Anthropic has a stronger moral codex than other AI companies, so I would be genuinely interested in where you got this information from.
You clearly didn't read the whole article. He specifically explains multiple options for how you can get any software onto the system you want.
The goal of this project is to provide a platform that regular developers can write apps for and that regular users can understand and be productive on with minimum friction.
Could you explain what you like about it? I feel like I'm missing something. I've listened to half an hour now and there have been a like five minutes of substance, the rest is self-references and jarring editing.
If I listen to a podcast I want to learn something, gain a new perspective, listen to a well-moderated conversation or at least laugh.
This podcast does none of those things. Literally doing nothing and letting my thoughts wander is more interesting than listening to this.
I agree with this. This a remarkably bad podcast. And also pretty bad paper to focus on. As the podcast was quite bad, I just read it and it was about nothing at all.
Like, it's a basically blogpost that muses about uhhh couple examples it pulled at random from esolang wiki and has literally no point. Beside prescriptive one. Formatted as a paper, which I admit takes some skills.
There have been study results published quite recently that suggested otherwise, at least for the U.S.
While I don't recall the actual numbers, the number of people who said they read books pretty much crashed over the past two decades, and more parts of the population are considered to be functionally illiterate than in a long time.
I don't really understand how the data can be "only briefly exposed" but also it could be confirmed that the records were all new and never-before-seen. Like, is this a problem now or isn't it?
