Like most regular cars have the option to.

It ran Maemo 5, and I still miss it even though I never owned one myself. Unfortunately Nokia fumbled everything.

And it wouldn't have been much worse compared to be as careless as they have been.

Most systems barely need more gpu memory than what is required for video, browsing etc.

Just because we found a new usecase doesn't flip that on its head.

Besides, I want to keep doing what I'm doing today. So if I need 128GB today and my local AI needs 128 GB then I'd need 256 GB to keep doing the same work.

The argument rather seems to be that we shouldn't use such expensive memory on the GPU. Which might be true if you only want to do inference on it.

Well, you can use it for lots of other things as well.

Compared to the cloud you can probably save up to buy a new server every month. And don't underestimate the gains of having something to experiment on and play with.

When you search for a service you get the current status and you get the option to report a problem.

The minimal you expect from such a service is to keep track of how many % of users are searching also reports an error. There might of course still be errors but that alone surely can't be it. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

If you want to run OS X, buy the mac. If not buy absolutely anything else. It is that simple.

Though with 8GB of ram both of these machines are lemons.

If you are on the fence, do not buy the mac. Because by god why would you want to trap yourself in that ecosystem.

Which was a bit confusing when I clicked the confirm-your-email link. No confirmation or status or anything.

I'm guessing that most harnesses/tools will resize an image before processing and in doing so will loose enough detail to make it much harder to reason about - especially wireframe images.

I'm sure I'm holding it wrong, but this test didn't really test this. It was just a one off. That breaks down pretty quickly and especially if you don't have reference pictures of what you are trying to create.

Seems right on par for the dongle-life that Apple was/is famous for and the lightning-connector alone has created me much more headache than Sony ever did. Which is impressive considering I've owned several Sony (or SonyEricsson) devices but I've never owned an Apple device. At least Sonys proprietary crap were decently priced, at least for the times I looked at it. Didn't enjoy it one bit but I didn't feel robbed.

Apples stunts in the past by deliberately making chargers incompatible is on a whole other level of evil but I guess that's prescribed by now. Sony put rootkits on CDs though so that is pretty extraordinarily bad too of course.

The reason you can connect anything to a mac is because Apple is the only rotten fruit left. Apples stuff work pretty darn terrible for everyone not in Apples ecosystem.

I don't want to pile on but I just can't see how what Sony did was bad but what Apple does isn't. Feels like people put a blind eye to everything they are dependent upon.

Apples software only run on their own hardware and their hardware only runs their own software. It is a huge split in the ecosystem and any advance Apple has makes future of computing more bleak and proprietary and void of choice.

Their constant battles with right to repair alone is pathetic in its own right. And they had to literally be forced to give up their lightning connector, because their walled garden of accessories was just too profitable. Not sure how one can view that differently than what Sony did.

Only difference is that Apple has a borderline monopoly, which of course makes it immeasurably worse. Sony lost because of competition.

But seeing how slow claude code and copilot cli are and how much ram they use I'm flabbergasted. If you have long running sessions they can both take tens pf gigabytes of ram and feel quite sluggish.

People just ignored it because, shiny!
