How is it amazing? In my experience it is full of bugs and bad design choices if you ever dare to steer from the path Apple expects masses to take. If you try to use workspaces/desktops to the full extent, you know.
I'm all for having more open source projects, but I do not see how it can be useful in this ecosystem, especially for people with newer AMD GPUs (not supported in this project) which are already supported in most popular projects?
I don't see a difference there. If someone sells something without doing much innovation for over 10 years (doesn't matter if it is electronics or clothing), for much more than it costs to make, why is one overpriced and the other one is not?
I suspect our disagreement is in the much in "Without doing much innovation", and the difference (I am not a clothing designer though I've sewed my own clothes; there may be more to it than I imagine.) between electronics and clothing is that electronics have to change to keep up, with the times, which incurs a large expense. Human bodies haven't changed size so dramatically so as to need a whole new process to handle extra arms.
There is a non-trivial amount of engineering work required to go from Usb 1.0, to 1.2, then 2.0, and then all the way to 3.0, even though to the end customer it's just updating to the latest version of USB.
I see that non-trivial engineering cost as what makes the difference.
Using a newer kind of fabric doesn't require new sewing machines.
If you're able to make a product, and not change it for a decade, and also not change how it's being made for that same decade, and on top of that, not have competitors pop up, then it's overpriced.

Yes, and this in the context of a thread about a device originally marketed by Cypress (Anchor Chips) as “EZ-USB”. All this engineering work was done by Cypress for a device sold at a few dollars or so in quantity.
Hardware wise most of these sig cap devices were reference designs clearly heavily using reference libraries.
This isn’t bad, but the whole point of these relatively expensive (compared to say a bare 8051) devices (which is literal pennies) is to save all this R&D money.
It also isn’t bad when someone takes this same off the shelf design and put it in a slightly shittier packaging and sell it closer to cost.
This “infamous” line is silly as this microcontroller line existed nearly a decade before it became a thing in low-end/hobbyist sig cap devices. It originally was produced by a company called Anchor Chips in the late 90s and bought out by Cypress. It has been used in a lot of shit.
Small leaves wiggle room, but it's extremely unlikely trad small, <= 7B, will get there this year even on these evals.
UX matching is a whole different matter and needs a lot of work: Worked heavily with Llama 8B over last days, and Phi 3 today, and the Q+A benchmarks don't tell the full story. Ex. It's nigh impossible to get Llama _70_B to answer in JSON; when Phi sees RAG from search it goes off inventing new RAG material and a new question.
I've read that Matthew Walker isn't a good source on sleep, as he tends to just make up some claims or bend the data to support whatever point he wants to make [1].
According to the blog post, the treatment for some sleep disorders is to take a dose of melatonin during the day, which moves your natural melatonin production earlier for unclear reasons. Maybe there's confusion between when you take the melatonin and when melatonin is naturally highest?
Yeah, it was my understanding that melatonin is secreted under low-light conditions according to one's circadian rhythm.
> A substantial number of studies have shown that, within this rhythmic profile, the onset of melatonin secretion under dim light conditions (the dim light melatonin onset or DLMO) is the single most accurate marker for assessing the circadian pacemaker. Additionally, melatonin onset has been used clinically to evaluate problems related to the onset or offset of sleep. DLMO is useful for determining whether an individual is entrained (synchronized) to a 24-h light/dark (LD) cycle or is in a free-running state. DLMO is also useful for assessing phase delays or advances of rhythms in entrained individuals. Additionally, it has become an important tool for psychiatric diagnosis, its use being recommended for phase typing in patients suffering from sleep and mood disorders. More recently, DLMO has also been used to assess the chronobiological features of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). DLMO marker is also useful for identifying optimal application times for therapies such as bright light or exogenous melatonin treatment. [1]
