Crashes too frequently for me. Needs a reboot to fix only to be crashed again few hours later. I never found a solution; likely related to docker/podman being memory hungry.

Port handling requires constant Powershell maintenance too.


Must wifi speed issues are actually obstacle issues. One concrete wall and wifi5/6/8 all dead. Only 4 survives. 2.4ghz is here to say


6(ax) works on 2.4GHz too.


sign... another ai written article. are we already living in the dead internet? hackernews is filled with ai written blog posts.


i saw that no one actually make this information publicly available, so i did it myself. hopefully it helps someone.


8gb ram is criminal. For $100 more Air is the one to buy.


That's called "Apple price ladder". Basically pushing consumer in small increments up the range of products with " but with just $$amount you can get X product with 2*Y of Z!" until consumer hits their limit instead of buying the cheapest working option.


how much money I have lost to this damn ladder


The newest entry-level Air is $1100, this is $600, or $500 difference. It's significant.

Apple released the M1 MBA for $999 and it was considered insane value, and it had 8GB of RAM as well.

I don't think it's criminal, sufficient for plenty of casual users. Of course not for everyone.


I agree. Especially now, with the insane RAM prices.


Where is a $699 Air available?


This is very impressive. Google really is ahead


They are definitely ahead in multi modality and I'd argue they have been for a long time. Their image understanding was already great, when their core LLM was still terrible.


AWS has been the backbone of the internet. It is single point of failure most websites.

Other hosting services like Vercel, package managers like npm, even the docker registeries are down because of it.


Note taking is supposed to be a map of my brain. Not generated garbage from LLMs. I only want the most memorable things to be in there.


The app you're looking for is Obsidian. Notion abandoned that goal years ago. Notion is making money for being a project management / team wiki. They don't care personal note taking.


Notion is on its track to become the new Lotus Notes, just with notes instead of email memos.


"Notes and Domino is a cross-platform, distributed document-oriented NoSQL database and messaging framework and rapid application development environment that includes pre-built applications like email, calendar, etc." [0]

Lotus Notes was the original offline-first everything app, including cutting edge PKI and encryption. It worked over dial-up and needed only a handful of MBs of memory (before the Java rewrite at least). Has anything else really come close since?

But why would I want my team generating/reading AI slop in our Wiki??


You don't. Notion stakeholders do.


I do writing with RAG and it can be implemented to suprisingly good if you already have your own writing that the text is being generated from. FAQs etc can be pretty easy when your content is context for the AI.

After a few rounds of AI generating AI content from AI content, I'm sure it could eventually become slop...like the model collapse lol idk.

"AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data" - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07566-y


I've looked yesterday on replit. It used to be such a nice tool to play with various languages, be able to create a, say, python file, share it with students, etc.

Now you are welcomed by a "AI chat" that wants me to specify what a great application I want to create. Total madness...


I find that I get most value out of less memorable notes in my Obsidian, because for the more memorable ones my brain is able to stay on top of it.

I use LLMs to extract key points, make proposals or generate a short summary, but I personally want to manually be responsible for adding all this and I don't want my note taking tool to do this unsupervised in the background.


I was waiting for a linux client for such a long time. Or a way for api access where i do not need to poll for changes.

But instead more ai slop.

And thats not the worst. Every time when a company adds ai features, i know they want to train on my data sooner or later.

So hard pass for that one.

edit: seems like webhooks are here now. Will give them a try, but knowing notion, expect wild limitations


I hope this isn't "Shut-up" money to end ARC gpu development. i have an A770, i am very happy with it.


It's absolutely not, the ARC line is not a threat in any way to nVidia, it's to get it's feet into the CPU market without the initial setup costs and research it would take to start from scratch.

They will be dominating AMD now on both fronts if things go smoothly for them.


> AI makes you feel 20% more productive but in reality makes you 19% slower. How many more billions are we going to waste on this?

True in the long run. Like a car with a high acceleration but low top speed.

AI makes you start fast, but regret later because you don't have the top speed.


People repeating articles or papers. I know myself. I know from my own experiences what the good and bad of practice A or database B is. I don't need to read a conclusion by some Muppet.

Chill. Interesting times. Learn stuff, like always. Iterate. Be mindful and intentional and don't just chase mirrors but be practical.

The rest is fluff. You know yourself.


The takeaway from the paper is you don’t know yourself. It’s one paper, and a small sample size, but attempting to refute its conclusion by stating it’s false doesn’t really get us anywhere.


Lol. Maybe you need enough experience to understand if you think "it's written in a paper" is proof of anything, specially over the experience of people who do actual work and have been profilic over long periods.


This is shown in figure 5 of the paper. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.09089
