Copilot just sucks . I’ve tried them both and I stick with cc and codex mcp

How is Apple packing 512gb of ram on their cpu?

Why don’t they make an GPU optimised for inference/batch jobs with 1 TB of ram ? Everyone wants to run the biggest models locally.

Yeah but why there was not red alert on all the monitors when both the airplane and the truck had green light on the same runway ? That’s the minimum of automation that I would expect, ideally sync-ed to all the participants(truck drivers, pilots etc). It would not have been hard for a system to predict the collision given it had all the data (positions of each participant + the route of each).

Can’t this whole thing being automated and let only special/unexpected situations being handled by humans ?

You can launch a new product in one month instead of 12 months. I think this works best for startups where the risk tolerance is high but works less than ideal for companies such Amazon where system failure has high costs

Why can’t we have original stories(I.e Sinners, Black Panther, White Lotus) and instead try to make White Snow black or whatever and paint people racist? I get that people want to make these stories more inclusive but the characters are just too powerful to change them and not expect a backlash.

People prefer new characters or “staying true to the original story/character” instead of lazy remixes.

Or you can create your own remix with AI now. Feed the movie and make the characters as you want. The result may seem a bit weird(i.e like a Snow White being a fat black gay male) for a fan of the movie/character but for you as an activist it will check the marks you are looking for. Just don’t invoke racism if people won’t like your AI slop.

The main issue was the content the movie industry produced which looked like a lot like some AI slop. I think the DEI lecturing was another nail in the coffin. Unless that changes and they magically add something new to the cinema experience I think they will keep diving into irrelevance because now everybody can produce AI slop.

Orphanage ? What about a school 2 miles away from the military installation or in Iran's given case why don't they move their sh** at the edge of the city like the shopping malls do? It may be a bit inconvenient, I get that it's inconvenient but it's far from the orphanage story. Not to mention in case of war...should the kids be kept close to a military base? Military installations within residential areas just beg for civilian casualties. Is as simple as that. If you see a military base near you move out or ask them to move out.

Well that’s not very smart IMHO. To me they look like human shields. Shame on me as I was blaming Hamas for using residential compounds for military ops but it looks like everyone does it. I wouldn’t send my kid to a school on military base especially in times of imminent war. I label that gross negligence and even provocation.

It’s not only about the precision of the munition. When you put military installations in residential areas you get this kind of result regardless of how precise the weapons are.

The maps could be outdated, intelligence may be flawed etc. In a hot war collateral casualties are secondary to the military objective. You try to avoid civilian deaths but that should be on best effort basis.

I understand there was a military installation near the school. How is someone supposed to deal with that? War is not really an “exact science”

This is the right direction. Another important bit I think it’s the GC integration. Many languages such Go, C# don’t do well on wasm due the GC. They have to ship a GC as well due the lack of various GC features(I.e interior pointers)

The good Netflix movies are small diamonds in a swamp of garbage. Most of the content is the equivalent of fast food for movies with a political agenda.

WB has not been immune to the political angle but they at least care about their IP and produce decent content. Of course Netflix would have used WB IP and Netflix’s “state of the art” movie making machine to maximise the value of the WB IP.

TBH I don’t care about the WB news media part through I’m not sure if they will really destroy it just to align with their political views. If they make CNN like Fox News the viewers will just leave. The right move for Netflix from a shareholder’s perspective would be to get into the short drama movies that are popular in China and recently the US too. That would allow them to cover the whole garbage media spectrum and make a lot of money.

Why would you buy the old gen GPUs instead to commit to buy the newest and best GPU available in 2 years? anyone knows that electronics depreciate fast. Unless they get them at discount this is really stupid. It’s like buying the best TV or iPhone at full price and keep it in storage for 2+ years.

Well by the time the become obsolete you can run that computing on a Mac with no special cooling so I really doubt they will be of any use. Maybe in some parts of the world where electricity is cheap. If someone wants to really find out perhaps watching the crypto ASICs stories could help.

Thank you! I was not aware of Framework Desktop. Unfortunately it seems it’s even more limited to ram(to 128GB vs studio 512GB on Mac studio)
