Is it me, or will this just speed up the timeline where a 'good enough' open model (Qwen? Deepseek? - I'm sure the Chinese will see a value in undermining OpenAI/Anthropic/Google) combined with good enough/cheap hardware (10x inference improvement in a M7 Macbook Air?) makes running something like opencode code locally a no brainer?

I picked up an M3Pro/11/14/36GB/1TB to 'test' over the long holiday return period to see if I need an M3 Max. For my workflow (similar to blog post) - I don't! I'm very happy with this machine.

Die shots show the CPU cores take up so little space compared to GPUs on both the Pro and Max... I wonder why.

This should work fine with vim-dadbod and vim-dadbod-ui... Right?

Can anyone ELI5 - Is the compound/material used for LK-99 that unique? Are there other, similar materials that might also have this 'quantum well' quality?

I love the mini - and I'd say an iPad makes sense for consumption and pen use (handwriting notes)... but the 'Pro' is a waste of an M1/M2.

I would kill for a rebooted 12" Macbook with that same terrible keyboard if it at least had an M1 in it.

I like the analogy of using a kanban for managing work to playing poker.

It takes 10 minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master.

Why do you estimate when using a kanban? You might look at an item and break it down for simplicity. You also might go in with a goal of 'one card per member per day' or something similar. But nothing should be fixed to an estimate. If something is delayed, it should show up stuck in a lane. Respond as needed.

Scrum is pushing stuff into a sprint. Kanban is pulling the highest priority stuff through - it's done when it's done.

Metrics/Analytics can be calculated when your done based on actual information, as opposed to the beginning when you're guessing, and likely to be held to your estimates.

They're also visualized (on a kanban board) - are you doing that? Make work visible.

They're prioritized tasks. They're pulled through. Simplicity is the structure.

The first sentence:

"GPTs are General Purpose Technologies"

I wonder what a Generative Pre-trained Transformer would say about that...

Excellent idea!

I found this on github: https://gist.github.com/jeb5/da22862e469dea21e873acabb562f63...

Was able to get all of my feeds exported to an OPML file, then imported into my RSS Reader of choice.

I'm happy the Apple web site shows at least one 'stock' configs for the laptops with 32GB of ram and 1TB. That means Costco, Best Buy and Amazon will be slinging these around at sale prices soon enough.

So what is Twitter's response to the issue? Surely one of those accounts has addressed it... I can't seem to find it.

Elon paid $44B for Twitter! He's going to squeeze every short-term dollar out of the platform and count on users sitting back and taking it.

also (IMO) - - exportable/importable to/from markdown in case that's ever needed - much faster than evernote ever was

It's what Evernote was supposed to be. They've got some richer formatting open issues - but that's coming in V2.
