lol. I work in Applied cryptography and I don’t know a harder distributed system built on such a broad spectrum of primitives which has seen such high uptime.
Though Zcash proponents will say the tax is a good thing. The tax is so good, that instead of getting rid of the tax after half of the coins were mined like the developers originally promised, the devs kept the dev tax for all of the mined coins.
Not the OP, but Zcash's privacy feztures are optional and seldom used in practice, whereas monero is secure by default. It helps with blending in the crowd.
Because that one-liner will result in the model instantly running on your machine, which is much more useful than trying to figure out all the dependencies, invariably failing, and deciding that technology is horrible and that all you ever wanted was to be a carpenter.
Right: I could give you a recipe that tells you to first create a Python virtual environment, then install mlx-vlm, then make sure to downgrade to numpy 1.0 because some of the underlying libraries don't work with numpy 2.0 yet...
... or I can give you a one-liner that does all of that with uv.
python-specific side question -- is there some indication in the python ecosystems that Numpy 2x is not getting adoption? numpy-1.26 looks like 'stable' from here
If all code is written by AI or by "vibe coders" then what happens when companies are selling products they don't themselves understand? - sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.
I think it's pretty obvious that generative AI isn't replacing the need for engineering - ever.
This happens regardless as people leaving companies and whatever they produced. You will find so many examples of code out there in production and works through hopes and dreams.
And you know what? If it works it works - regardless how it was produced.
Not who you responded to but I've been looking now after reading this discussion and here are some things I've come up with in the last minute or so.
- Why when I drag the Safari window up to go full screen with the tiling manager does it leave a large gap around the window? When I double click the top bar it aligns the top and bottom with the edges but still leaves a gap on the sides.
- Why does the settings dialog have so much lag? It takes a couple of seconds to launch and then when navigating around there is a roughly one second lag between panels.
- Why can't I uninstall default Mac apps that I have never opened?
- If I open up task view using F3, why is there no option to exit the window or program?
- If I have a Safari window open in a smaller window and double click the task bar, why does it maximize the way it does? Leaving a large section open.

It's a feature. System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Tiled windows have margins.

Each 'panel' is actually an app extension that runs its own process. Similar to extensions and control panels in classic MacOS.

This is annoying.

The modern macOS UX is an amalgamation of Classic MacOS and NeXTSTEP, neither of which really has the concept of "maximised" in the same sense as Windows does. The action you describe "zooms" the window to best fit the content. The parallel to "maximised" is full screen.
I see others have responded with specifics. That's cool and all but it seems a bit futile to me because Apple has all this data internally and could act upon it if they wished.
Certainly with "crashers" there are crash reports from the field (you and I) that are sent back home and filtered into various databases. Internal tool allow Apple to see the "top crashers" (and you can filter to specific OS, hardware, etc.). There will be Radars filed for these and they will be sent to the appropriate teams.
The issue of course is the degree to which these take priority over feature work, etc. If Apple decided to do nothing but address these for a year or two we could have nice things again.
Not an exhaustive list but some simple recent examples:
in Messages on macOS across 3 Macs I own, turning on and off the global 'read receipts' setting has no effect, not even from the perspective of iOS. The iOS setting does seem to work though.
Bugs in iOS mail where notifications just freeze the app.
Layout issues in macOS settings.
Memory leaks in WindowServer.
Many iCloud services inconsistent and non-reliable.
Apple Pay not showing correctly in Apple Account settings.
Maybe this has to be solved on the application layer then. All I can say is that my setup with a dynamic DNS entry and WG tunnel on android works flawlessly.
Just use Pihole.
