Doesn't the 3090 cap out at 24GB VRAM? That's not a lot to run a local model

And yet in some ways, modern computers feel slower than those from decades ago. Software today is so, so much less efficient than it was back then.

Netbooks aren't dead, they're just called Chromebooks now

I, too, have a server running 16.04 that I'm afraid to update. It currently has an uptime of 1281 days... at this point I'd feel bad rebooting it

Different iterations of the product were called both those things

I did go through the Go tutorial many many years ago, but it's been so long I don't remember anything. I do remember it was an enjoyable process though, and I'd love to pick it up …

This post resonates. I recently built a little web service to scratch an itch I've been having and after discussing the options with Claude we settled on Go, and honestly it's been…

I wonder if the author is a Dave2D fan? https://www.youtube.com/@Dave2D

The $20 plan showed me how good Claude Code was, and now I'm paying $100/month. I never would have paid $100 just to try out Claude Code.

I think they usually record on Tuesdays, so not long

The limit of 2 is just for virtualizing macOS. You can run as many Linux VMs as you want at once on macOS.

This is a very silly restriction, at least to apply uniformly to all Macs. I think if you buy a more powerful Mac they should let you virtualize more Mac instances. Like an M5 mayb…

I'm neither apparently, which I guess is a relief? Some of the questions I felt didn't have an answer I would select, like the inner monologue one. I generally don't have an inner …

I feel like Apple wouldn't want to make full Linux work on their hardware, but they could enable their Darwin kernel to emulate Linux syscalls and provide a way to boot into a mode…

I'm going to echo what others have said, Xcode will run on 8GB but the moment you need simulators or iOS canvas previews it will need more memory. You can probably get by on the Ne…

I'm assuming you're in the EU or UK, Apple is required by law to not include a power adapter: https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/10/15/eu-gets-what-it-a... In the US they provide…

Apple doesn't tend to use "RAM" in their marketing materials, they usually use "memory", which appears 9 times in the press release.

I wonder if a similar system is in place at McDonald's because they never fail to ask if I'm using the app, it's pretty annoying

"I don't know what did it, but here's what it does now "

Huge win on the name change. I'm never going to install an app called Pingstalker on my computer, it would feel gross and I'd worry other people might see it and be alarmed by it.

A tractor does exactly what you tell it to do though - you turn it on, steer it in a direction, and it goes. I like the horse metaphor for AI better: still useful, but sometimes un…

The M4 starts with 16GB, though that can also be tight for local LLMs. You can get one with 24GB for $1149 right now though, which is good value.

Yes, pretty much: https://www.theverge.com/24295971/we-are-rewind-fiio-cassett...

What about a Mac? macOS isn't exactly Linux, but you can run a lot of Linux command line things just fine on it, and Apple will always make sure macOS works 100% on the Macs they s…

When I worked at Netflix many years ago, they loved to boast about how they didn't have any "processes". My experience was that process ALWAYS exists, but at Netflix you just had t…
