Yeah this is misleading cherrypicking. Also it's super slow. Not impressed with slow efficient chips. Anyone can make a chip efficient by reducing clock frequency and sacrificing p…

Easy, it's priced much lower in the US on purpose so that reviewers will directly compare it with the Neo to get more favorable reviews, while in fact it should be compared to the …

You're completely right. Power draw scales non-linearly with clock frequency. Therefore one can easily increase perf/W by lowering the clock frequency, at the expense of performanc…

For me this metaphor only makes the original point more credible.

There are many math problems that are simply puzzles: intellectually interesting but nothing worth of value depends on it. To me it would be more impressive if we could define hard…

Sooo true, AI never asks questions. It just makes up requirements. I think it's because the models are trained on benchmarks where task completion is an important metric. But I'd r…

I recognize this, LLMs never stop, they pursue the dead end at all costs.

The real value I think never really was the code, it was the learnings from the journey to get to the code. The struggle allowed for iterative discovery of the real requirements an…

Indeed. I wonder how much AI will do in industries with longer feedback loops that are much noisier. I think the field of software is a unique field in that sense.

I think other industries are late, but also will see less productivity gains. In software engineering agents have the benefit of very short feedback loops that provide extremely ac…

Plex has a great Tizen app. It just works on my TV same as Netflix.

Hardware revenue is 3x the services revenue, even with half the margins it still generates more profit than services. I get that Apple would like to increase service revenue but th…

The battery life stinks, the build quality is subpar and the fan runs all the time. If you don't care about anything that makes the MacBook Pro a premium device, then sure you can …

This is just plain wrong. Apple generates most revenue and profits with hardware and it's not even close.

The world would be a better place without AI, OpenAI, Anthropic and all others. It only immerses the world into chaos, dystopia and increased inequality. So far nothing for the pub…

The AI "market" is not a free market. It needs regulation.

Very normal in The Netherlands, was kinda surprised to learn it's not a thing in English speaking countries?

Not in some ways. The value of working code that meets the requirements and generates revenue is very high, it's a gift.

I agree here. Sure, certain tasks that would take weeks are just one prompt away now. But out of a group of 100 people, how many are able to come up with the correct prompt?

Anthropic claims 8-fold productivity increase since 2025. If even that isn't enough to enable support for Linux, I don't know what it is.

Good question indeed, I think quality matters less these days because it's trivial for an LLM to increase code quality. Quality is usually observed from a human perspective. But in…

It is a good substitute. 1. Usually the commit message is often too short to capture the "why" adequately. 2. It is very beneficial to capture the why in one single source of truth…

Who reads commit messages anyway?

Made me buy a MacBook Air instead. Waited for a long time because I was not a fan of macOS, but Apple is quite cheap in all segments nowadays. A well-specced MacBook Pro these days…

I don't think so. AI use is still very limited. For OpenAI and Anthropic and the AI boom to match their valuation, AI adoption needs to increase substantially. The current constrai…
