If your job or hobby in any way likes LLMs, and you like to "Work Anywhere", it's hard not to justify the MBP Max (e.g. M3 Max, now M4 Max) with 128GB. You can run more than you'd think, faster than you'd think.
Works well for me on an MBP with 36GB ram with no swapping (just).
I've been asking it to perform relatively complex integrals and it either manages them (with step by step instructions) or is very close with small errors that can be rectified by following the steps manually.
I am running it on a 32G memory mac mini with an M2 Pro using Ollama. It runs fine, faster than I expected. The way it explains plans for solving problems, then proceeding step by step is impressive.
I think this is to make human /user experience better. If you use accessibility features, then user need to know how to use those features. Similar to another comment in here, the UX they shoot for is “click the red button with cancel on it”, and ship that ASAP.
I don’t have iphone 16, and this article puzzles me.
Is apple only using jxl for their “raw” camera capture, but not regular camera capture?? The non-raw use case seems to be the one that would have more impact to regular folks.
DNG spec added JPEG-XL as their modern codec. Both lossy and lossless modes are significantly better than the other 3 allowed codecs (JPEG, lossless JPEG, and zip.)
FWIW I don't think I have any sort of special sensitivity, I just don't like it and it annoys me whenever I notice it
If I was not using my phone in the dark at low brightness as much I would probably be fine with OLED...
Also maybe they made it better since first OLED iphones, but they never say anything about PWM in press releases and it is kind of expensive to just buy it to try and throw out if it still sucks.
"Old money" is one way to put it. It seems to be dominated by pension funds and people's savings. Please don't put your savings into Vanguard's famous index fund — Vanguard currently has 7.47% of the shares and you don't want to ruin that by forcing Vanguard to increase its stake to 7.48%.
I like your idea. But on the other hand, training an AGI, and then having a layer on top “aligning” the AGI sounds super dystopian and good plot for a movie.
Poisoning Socrates was done because it was "good for society". I'm frankly even more suspicious of "good for society" than the average untrustworthy board of directors.
seriously? you're more worried about what your elected officials might legislate than what a board of directors whose job is to make profits go brrr at all costs, including poisoning the environment, exploiting people and avoiding taxes?
Didn't vast majority of elected officials vote for war in Iraq, Vietnam and Afghanistan?
Vast majority of elected officials are crooks that take millions from foreign interest groups (e.g AIPAC) and from corporations - and make laws in their favour.
weren't the us invited to defend the democratic government of Vietnam? weren't the taleban hiding al quaeda who attacked the US? didn't Saddam Hussein use chemical weapons against his own people? are you comparing all these people with Socrates?
Did the people want to participate in Vietnam? Get drafted so that they can die thousand of miles away from home?
> didn't Saddam Hussein use chemical weapons against his own people?
You can't argue that when US is providing weapons to Israel which are directly used to massacre thousands of innocents. That was just an excuse to the public
> are you comparing all these people with Socrates?
No, my point is that the government does not act in the interest of people or in the interest of upholding human rights.
