I believe I potentially wrote that code in 2006 when working at Apple on HFS. What a remarkable world!

Ex-Apple kernel engineer here, Apple will deal with the memory shortage by making software more efficient in ram usage. Apple will just make every aspect of the system more and more memory efficient. They've done it before over and over and can do it again.

Almost trivial using open source tools, the question is how it performs without calibration/fine tuning.

Will think about it, trying to keep it running snappy with minimal cost since no clear path to monetization

I’ve had luck getting higher rate of interviews for remote jobs by applying first. To that end I built a site which shows job postings as they are posted - https://tangerinefeed.net

I think the interesting thing here for those of us who use open source frameworks is that we can ask the LLM to look at the source to find the answer (eg. Pytorch or Phoenix in my case). For closed source libraries I do not know.

I may eventually get one of these just to use with Claude code. Been looking for the lightest best machine to use with agents.

This is at the very beginning of begin feasible. I do not know anything about photonics, maybe someone who does can comment on scalability?

New comment by nikhizzle in "Tether is now the 17th largest holder of US debt"

I mean tether redemptions. Hedge funds liquidating treasuries last year significantly distorted yields for a short while.

Armchair economist here - one implication of this is that a crypto liquidation will cause global interest rates to spike at a time when they will need to be lower to calm the markets.

Selling massive amounts of debt with no additional demand means the required return must be higher.

A job feed for remote jobs - https://tangerinefeed.net/

This is something I’ve needed myself over the last few years as jobs become shorter and shorter lived. Keep on improving it as some kind of compulsion.
