So... having given two contradictory opinions, which one are you settling on?

Have you tried to satisfy your open-minded curiosity on this question? A simple Google search brings up: https://lancetcountdown.org/2025-report/ A couple of excerpts from the fron…

This just reads like someone's cross at the AI hype and wanted to take a shot, but missed. The underlying point --that network effects exist and determine the success of a product-…

> Another school of thought is that punishment should be proportional to the crime or harm. Maybe harm * wealth. Rich people could be fined proportionally more than poor people. Ri…

I was speaking more generally, but yes, in the increasingly dystopian world of the current US administration, it seems to be even easier for certain people and companies to ignore …

I agree with almost everything you wrote, but... confiscation and inability to operate at a location (as you suggest as a penalty) still ultimately boils down to a financial penalt…

While organisations are only ever hit with affordable financial penalties, it's rational for them to weigh up the likely penalty vs. the opportunity cost of not doing something ill…

It reminds me a little of the large number keys (directly underneath the screen) on the original OP-1: https://teenage.engineering/products/op-1/original

No. But: web access, web search --> basically essential at this point plan, goals, looping --> necessary if this is how you work, and working like this is probably (arguably?) more…

I can't offer a definitive list. But some/all of web access, web search, sub-agents, plan, goals, looping, and maybe a to-do list. I'd suggest the default should be anything that m…

I’m going to go against the grain and say that Pi is a little too minimal by default. The emacs comparison is interesting, but default Pi is like emacs that can load files but you’…

To build on your analogy, one could easily imagine a situation where there was no need to close the toilet door - because there's no-one around, or if there is, no-one cares about …

Indeed. It’s essentially the age-old conundrum: I don’t need to worry about my privacy because I’m not breaking the rules… until someone changes the rules.

At a company I work for, I was recently discussing the need for an AI Code of Conduct plus a discussion - as this is exactly the sort of thing that started creeping in as soon as t…

I’d be okay with only 1.6 TB/s bandwidth in my affordable 512GB GPU. Gotta start somewhere.

FWIW, I have tried 2/3 of those and failed to get them working satisfactorily.

On the one hand it’s nonsense, as you imply. On the other, ‘energy’ drinks can often have far more sugar and caffeine than e.g. tea or coffee, and are obviously marketed heavily at…

> You can redeploy with minimal effort. Can I ask what your workflow is for this "minimal effort"? Maybe I'm missing something, as I thought it would require manual faffing with la…

> Clearly as already stated in the article, hosting and distribution is not free. If I write an app for myself there is no need for hosting or distribution - it costs Apple absolut…

> it called my draft of a LinkedIn post “engagement bait” Er, LOL. Anyone that is drafting content for LinkedIn using AI, engagement bait or not (and let's be honest, it almost cer…

Thanks. Agree on the sizing - selfishly, something like a 60B MoE would be great - fast on big machines, and a 4 or 5 bit quant should fit in 64GB and still work well.

Agree - I got 9.7 tok/s on an M1 Max with unsloth's gemma-4-31B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.

I love the idea, but a quick glance (randomly at SF) reveals entries that aren't "meals" (IMO, anyway) but rather snacks - like two spring rolls for $8, or a slice of pizza for $5.…

Is there a particular quant of DS v4 Flash you'd recommend that works on 64GB machines? None of the antirez versions on HF look small enough? Also, FWIW, I've been experimenting wi…

You're right, and it's interesting to consider why. It's probably a combination of a few factors: 1) Local LLMs are a relatively new phenomenon and hardware takes years. Apple prob…
