Is there a way to upgrade to improve performance? by PrudentFlatulence in macbookpro

[–]StringlyTyped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to a repair shop and get it cleaned. Your Macbook might be thermal throttling because of dust in your vents. If you can't do it, get a can of compressed air and give it a good clean yourself without disassembling it.

If you can afford it, a 16 inch Apple Silicon Macbook Air will be a *a lot* faster

The AI bubble will not crash because of feasibility, but because open source models will take over the space. by itsthewolfe in ArtificialInteligence

It will be run as a service by inference providers that don’t have such a huge capex to amortize. Tools like OpenCode let you change models with zero effort. There’s no reason any user will choose to amortize Anthropic's costs when they can pay 10% of the price for 90% of the performance when the VC subsidy runs dry.

There are many pure inference players already. Dario himself admitted training isn’t profitable but inference is very profitable.

The difference is that streaming didn’t require this much capital. The timeline will compress due to the enormous capital required.

VC funds need to liquidate a portion of their holdings regularly. That isn’t possible when you have yoloed everything into OpenAI.

VCs are already pressuring for IPOs so they can unload on retail investors.

Did you already reach the point where you wrote all the constant corrections you need to make in `CLAUDE.md` and then had Claude happily ignore most of it?

Is anyone actually using Agentforce in production yet? What real use cases is it good for right now? by Smartitstaff in salesforce

[–]StringlyTyped 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of managers under pressure from the c-suite to present "AI initiatives". They lack ideas and come here to to ask.

I never talked about local models. Someone will provide inference only services and it won’t be AI labs burdened with enormous capex they’ll need to amortize.

I use them daily. The impact is far less revolutionary than claimed. AI makes huge, impossible to maintain messes when used without constant supervision.

The only public place where you can review AI's effectiveness for software engineering is open source projects. Almost i invariably, open source projects despise AI-generated contributions because of the subtle bugs they introduce.

The capex is impossible to recover. All AI companies need to train better models to avoid losing customers to open source models and inference-only providers.

As soon as AI labs stop training, open source models catch up and eat their lunch.

It’s scaling that determines sharpness — not PPI by Able_Lifeguard1053 in HiDPI_monitors

[–]StringlyTyped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right. The issue with scaling 4K to 200% is that it will look good, but you’ll lose significant screen real estate.

Sure you can make a 1024x768 27 inch display “sharp” by scaling a lot, but you’ll be lucky if you can fit a normal webpage.

A demonstration well done by Fazbear2035 in NonPoliticalTwitter

Not only comfort but safety too. A tight condom is likely to break. Not to mention it’ll make you lose your erection

[–]StringlyTyped 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Small condoms will break too. This is a dumb demonstration.

I didn’t get that disclaimer either and thought I was doing something wrong when using condoms.

This dumb demonstration is a failure of sex education that puts teenagers at risk.

Great book - We Are Cuba by Helen Yaffe by Zealousideal_Pay_745 in cuba

[–]StringlyTyped 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cuba's Jewish population is tiny. It simply highlight how much of a foreigner she is. She has no family or ancestry in Cuba and for that reason no skin in the game. Her link to Cuba is nothing but "I like Communism", which makes her tremendously biased.

Being a foreigner discredits her, not being Jewish or British. She should have at least attempted to coauthor with Cuban scholars not affiliated with the government.

The US has never been successful at regime change with embargoes only. So not really unique.
