That’s a very intriguing observation.

(I haven’t read how it works but…) I wonder if removing file sizes, commit counts, and other numerical metadata would have a significant impact on the output. Or if all of the files were glommed into one large input with path+filename markers?

Interesting, I found it on Amazon for $5k: https://a.co/d/h085rvP

That’s the same price as an M4 Max MBP with the same ram and storage. Any idea how they compare in performance?

Looks like the MacBook Pro might be more cost effective? I like the support for larger models. Thanks!

I’d like to experiment with LLMs locally and understand their infrastructure better.

This could be mitigated by solving a longstanding UX issue: UI elements changing just before you click or tap.

Why not, by default, prevent interactions with newly visible (or newly at that location) UI elements? I find it incredibly annoying when a page is loading and things appear or move as I’m clicking/tapping. A nice improvement would be to give feedback that your action was ineffective/blocked.

I miss chatting with that! It was so interactive. I wonder if it could be translated to communication between more than two parties. It sure would be interesting to see a prototype of something like that.
