> Requires macOS 26 Tahoe or later

Why? Tahoe hasn’t even reached its first birthday and plenty of us are still on Seqouia not wanting to put up with apple’s disaster release. There’s nothing a terminal needs from Tahoe specifically.

7. Do you want the most contributions?

I hate to admit it, but GitHub has a massive community. I’ve personally seen a project leave it and then contributions dropped significantly.

The larger 3.6 35B is actually a mixture of experts (MOE). This means a small proportion of those B's are actually active. It's fast and suitable for agentic tasks but nowhere near good as the dense 27B model, which has all of its parameters loaded.

This. Despite my personal dislike of Python I would never discourage anyone from using it. It has an extraordinary ecosystem.

Seems to be in the same category as Lua. Can a PL nerd explain what's different about it?

Because right now it's a privacy and security nightmare.

Says it requires a 2TB disk? Must it be internal NVMe?

So many of these agent sandboxing solutions now. Don’t people search for existing solutions anymore?

Leaving is not the hard decision. The hard decision is where to go. Do you have any suggestions?

I don’t think that would have worked. Parents buy phones for their kids since the kids can’t buy them. What would the choices be? Give them a phone or not give them a phone. I don’t think society is ready for that kind of choice anymore.

Sadly, no. The best comparable thing you can get is about Sonnet 3.7

Plenty of cases where Surface isn't. Microsoft like to think they can make hardware but they're no better than other OEM and it's clearly not a focus for them

For the uninitiated, Service Processor (SP) is just another kind of Baseboard Management Controller.

Would you or someone else here mind explaining this?
