When purchasing any ARM based computer a key question for me, is how many of those can I purchase for the cost of a Mac mini, and how many Mac mini can I purchase for the cost of that, and does that have working…
I have a couple of earlier RISC V systems that were advertised as nearly desktop performance: I always like unconventional systems, but cant find a reason to like these, they are much slower than similar priced arm…
This is why I will never get in an AI plane.
That is quite a confession from AMD. It's not X86 at all, just every implementation. It is not like the ARM processors in Macs are simple any more, thats for sure.
I have had gemini running as a qa tester, and it faked very convincing test results by simulating what the results would have been. I only knew it was faked because that part of the code was not even implemented yet. I…
Look at computer systems that cost 2000 or less and they are useless at running LLM coding assistants for example locally. A minimal subscription to a cloud service unfortunately beats them, and even more expensive…
The execs need to try actually using AI and verifying the correctness or lack of it in the results, THEY need to be more savvy about what AI is able to do. And if the results are garbage, and it wastes time rather than…
You will find development much faster if you use a computer. Bad joke I know, when I was a kid I wrote out my programs on paper first and at the college you had to submit on paper so the county mainframe could run them…
There is a solution for young people they should look at this demographic disaster and realise they need to have children for the sake of their own future. Meanwhile the next generation or two to retire is going to have…
In the UK You don't get paid for lunch which is why real white collar hours worked are more like eight to six or a lot longer. And typically you get to work through your unpaid lunch, while your contract says 37.5 hours…
Let's be real the goal was just to write some rust.
I let a popular agentic ai refactor some code for me today, it looked really nice, but despite the fact that it was meant to be splitting a file full of functions that already compiled and worked it rewrote them all and…
I think it's the antivirus and security protection that makes windows slow at opening apps. As for people saying the M series macs are slow, those are the first macs that felt fast to me in many years.
When workers save time, through automation, they are expected to complete more work. They don't get paid more. It is still the same job. Of course the employer benefits. The reason productivity does not increase is all…
When the puppet pulls back on his strings.
Really great idea, I currently work for an AI, compiling and debugging its code, at least that's what it sometimes feels like. Who is the agent here exactly? The fact that the AI has no understanding at all of what we…
Must be all the cholesterol they warned us about. I am sure we were told not to eat eggs. Well cool hand Luke eat them and he had a long and healthy life.
FAA post authorised the alien drones to fly out of the sea and hover over people's rooftops. case closed and no lies told.
Orlando springs to mind, the pavement just siddenly ends and people who see a couple walking with a kid pull over and offer assistance, from personal experience.
People who renounce contamination from digital content will be paid by AIs to answer their questions on simple terminals.
I needed transformers to talk to a local copy of Qwen, and a GUI, using tkinter on macos intel ventura. It all worked eventually. I have not got the AMD GPU to work yet. I don't hold python in anyway responsible for the…
Well I was describing what I actually experienced last week. I did get my script to work after hours of faffing around, your article may have been one of the articles I read, in any event thanks for writing it. There is…
Write your python, run script, find missing import. Install missing import, find that you actually need a different version of python as the import does not understand the latest version yet. Find that the import…
The irony is that an LLM that knows more about most topics than most teachers, and most parents, and can patiently discuss any topic one to one, is a superb way to learn new information. Its early days, right now,…
I would like to see this new knowlege used to generate tiled desktop wallpaper. Also does this tiling seem like a form of compression?
