    How do the laws of physics allow it? How do you disperse the heat? How do you protect your compute from cosmic rays? How do you get enough solar up there without catastrophic damag…

    AI, as it stands, only can save you time with non-human interaction “intellectual” tasks on a computer. So really not much

    I got 2. 1 for me and 1 for my brother. I sat with the page loaded and waiting. It opened a few minutes early and I was able to still order a 2nd about 5 minutes into sale

    this sucks. I am going to be graduating soon and hopefully will land a job shortly thereafter. I would have loved to get my hands on one of the cheaper models to toy with but looks…

    I don't think they fit in as a layer of abstraction, but instead are outside of it. An abstraction simplifies away the inner workings of what is being abstracted. The LLM exists ou…

    I will say, with codex/cc access and a free weekend you could make an app that covers like 99% of this app’s purpose. The harder part would be the art/making it cutesy, as some oth…
